I've read his Xanth & Mode series, but not this one. I'll have to give it a try next time I head to the library/bookstore. Thanks for the rec.

You have an AMAZING boyfriend! Good Luck with your weight loss, that's about 50lbs, right? You can definitely meet your goal by the end of the year.

I've been doing this for the past couple years, and I'm planning on doing it again this year. Instead of protein shakes, I'm going to try the Special K water mix. Good idea! I'll add that on as well, I've developed quite the potty mouth lately.

Thanks, I'm going to try to make these later!

I can't wait to try this!

Anyone know a good carpenter?

I'm another one who started to tear-up! I'm happy for you , and keep up the good work!

Even cows get fat on grass. My grandfather said that to me, & it took me YEARS to figure out he meant I needed to exercise along with eating veggies.

Sent the request!

Hello! I've sent requests to a bunch of you, and if anyone wants to add me, go ahead!

Hello! I have been struggling with PCOS for almost 10yrs. It has been a long & frustrating road filled with many medical problems & very few solutions. Many of your stories are the same or similar to what I have experienced! I have messaged some posters to be my friend, but anybody, please feel!

I'm going to look into this, it sounds interesting. Thanks for sharing!

Same here! Except that by the time I get home from work, I am exhausted, & can't find the energy to do much beyond nuking a TV dinner & going to bed. What makes it 100x worse, our 'candy fund' in right behind my desk maybe 10 feet.

I'm late to the game as well, but I'll give this a shot (it'll help keep me away for all the goodies that will be appearing in the next couple months) SW: 310 CW: 292 GW: 210 NYE: 270

Like many others, I saw a HORRIBLE set of pictures that had been taken. Shortly after, I realized that I couldn't go horseback riding with the family because I was uncomfortable with the thought of being on a horse at my weight. So I'm working on being able to get back on the horses.

I'm not a parent, but I have 5 (12-3) nieces & 1 (4mo) nephew. The oldest niece I buy books for, the 10y I usually buy craft stuff, 5y LOVES ponies so I got a stuffed one, 4y I have no idea, 3y is getting a pony like her sister, and I'll probably be getting the baby a book as well. For the most part I do the same for…

You guys are reminding me of all the games I've forgotten about! I LOVED Phantasy Star, the early FF, and Mario. My all-time old school love is Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap. I was super hyped when I found it on the WII!

I'll give this a go!

Question for you (if you know): Does the nutritional/health benefit change if you eat meat broth soups vs. actual meat product? I'm supposed to eat more meats & veggies but I don't have the time/patience to cook chicken/hamburger/etc. Thanks for the link! I LOVE stews and chillies!

I don't know about drinking water (I get nauseous if I drink too much), but I have found that hard candies like Jolly Ranchers or suckers work for me. I get the sweetness I am craving, but not the calories I used to intake. Not that I don't blow it on pop or candy sometimes...

Maybe some mints (pepper/spear), and Chamomile.

Great Idea! Thanks!

Last night I did a mile with my rollie pollie Pom. We both are out of shape, but she seemed to enjoy it, so I'll try to keep up with walking with her.

I always carry an emergency kit in my car, but it has never crossed my mind to have one in the house. I'll get working on it!
