Welcome, fellow southerner! I'm from Georgia. I like this site a lot so far. There is an exercise database that you can click on. If you find your exercise, you can go back and type it in to add it to your exercise log with how many minutes or reps.:smile:

I noticed some of the steel cut oatmeal in the store. Has anyone ever tried it? It's not like eating straw, is it?

Congratulations on the engagement. What a cool memory!

Good morning everybody! Well, I'm swamped with blueberries-my youngest son has been working with blueberry farmers and brought nearly 6 quarts home. I've already given away 4 pints, we've made a cobbler, and I still have a crazy amount of blueberries to freeze and consume! They are yummy, though. Anne, thanks for the…

Subway is my favorite "fast food" place. I did go to Wendy's yesterday, got a junior bacon cheeseburger, mandarin oranges, and unsweetened tea, all for 390 calories. I enjoyed every bite and didn't even blow my diet!

Good morning! Yesterday went really well for my calorie intake. I still have a hard time staying near 1200, even eating all of my exercise calories back. I do usually manage to stay under 1500. Oh well, step by step. I hope everyone has a great day.

1/2 cup pineapple chunks 1/2 cup mandarin oranges A few fresh blueberries Yummy! and pretty too!

I mix the yolks with a little mayonnaise, a little sweet pickle relish(drained well), and a tiny bit of yellow mustard. Refill the eggs and lightly sprinkle with paprika. The light version would be light mayonnaise. I wonder how dill pickle relish would taste.

Well done! You've worked hard at this and it's really paying off for you!

Enjoy your wonderful successes!

Good morning! I woke up early this morning and finally decided to go ahead and get up. Barb, I'm glad your friend is doing better. Barbie, I 'm sorry to hear about your dog groomer. I'm not familiar with Zone Perfect bars. I'll have to find them at our Wal-Mart. I'm still new about what healthy low calorie options are out…

I like your fridge idea. I could try that!

when the drawstring in your capris gets mysteriously longer:tongue:

I just ate 8 mini saltine cracker sandwiches made with a half tablespoon of peanut butter. Yum!

Morning! Anne, I'm sorry you've had such a rough morning. May the rest of the day be much better! I liked your statement about quieting those negative voices. I am my own saboteur and can blame no one else. I have to remember that the choices are mine, and then I can make better food and exercise choices. Happily, this…

Welcome! I garden for fun, and someone actually put gardening in the exercise database!

Chocolate cool whip-mmmmm. Good morning, all! I am trying to drink more water, but I haven't even made 8 glasses yet. Some of you are amazing in that respect. Everybody keep up the great work!

Thanks for the info. Now I've learned that mayo clinic has an informational section of its website. Cool!:happy:

Anne, your post about getting the snacks out of the house was very timely. I had finally managed to clear out all of the snacks, and then my sons went and bought a bunch of snacks since I wasn't providing any. ( They really don't need them either.) Anyway, I was staying out of their snacks by telling myself that they…

I also live in the south. So, sometimes my walking track is around the couch, down the hall, turn around, down the hall, around the couch, into the kitchen, turn around and go again until 10 minutes is over. Silly, I guess, but it's beginning to work for me.

Drive through-get the kid's meals. That way you get a little bit of everything and not too much of the wrong thing.

I like that one, Chrissyh! When things don't rattle on the shelves as you walk by.

Cute tale! Thanks for the welcome and encouragement. I'm beginning to discover that exercise really is the key. Even my posture is improving!

when no one notices when you sit down in the car(it stays relatively level!)

atta girl, alyssa!

These all look yummy! How long are they safe to keep in the refrigerator?

Got it! Late is better than nothing.

Thanks for the encouragement to find a time for breakfast. Maid, I can also hold out until lunch without a problem. (In fact, it seems as though if I eat something in the mornings, I want to eat all day long. Go figure!) Skittles, there are a few microwaves around the building, but all of my breaks are working breaks, so I…
