Oh, I see! Sorry. :-)

If she's not counting calories, how does she know she's eating 2000+ calories?

Wow! What an beautiful story! Thank you so much for sharing it. You are an amazing person, I hope you know that.

Firefly!!!! Dollhouse Caprica Terra Nova Firefly was badly mismanaged by the network. They made an insane decision not to show the pilot (which introduced the characters and set up the whole show), so it was difficult to tell what was going on. Also they would pre-empt it without warning and show it at an unscheduled time.…

P.S. I quit smoking first and then lost weight, but I think it can be done together. It's really the same principle, replacing bad habits with more productive ones. I have by no means mastered this, and I fall back into bad habits quite often. But I try not to beat myself up over it. I just get up, dust myself off, and try…

I quit 6 years ago, and I promise you, it does get easier! It takes time and patience though. Find something to keep busy when the urge strikes, like puzzles, knitting, jewelry making – whatever interests you and can keep you busy enough to get through the moment. When I quit, I seemed to go through moments where the urge…

Texas: Coke Sub or just sandwich Lightning Bug Couch Bathroom or Restroom Y'all (2 or more people) All Y'all (acknowledging everyone present) Fixin to (about to) Do what? (what did you just say?) Doodle Bug (pill bug, roly poly)

How about some raw vegetables and nuts along with some string cheese? Add some fruit, a frozen Gogurt, maybe some whole grain crackers – that would make a pretty good finger food meal. It doesn't have to be what you think of as a traditional lunch as long as it's healthy and fills you up. An insulated bag with an ice pack…

Aw, thank you. I like that one a bit better. :-)

I look like Clay Aiken?

Jennifer Garner & Eva Longoria

LOL!

I agree!!! So happy to hear someone else say what I've always thought. :-)

I agree with the consensus of fajitas with no tortillas. I also like the idea of picking out 10 chips and limiting yourself to that, if you have the willpower. As for logging, I would do a bit of investigating, and then use your best guesses and pre-log it. As long as you try to stick with your pre-logged plan, even if you…

You should always document and blog your interactions with this guy, just because it's fun to read.

Wow, and I thought I had worked with the weirdest people ever! Thanks for sharing!

Fresh fruits and veggies have naturally occurring sodium content, and usually at least a little fat as well.

I say them all the same as well. I've never been able to figure out what is supposed to be the difference between 'Don' and 'Dawn'. I also say "puh-kahn".

I never thought of doing it this way, I may give it a try. Here's what I do: when I make a pot of something, I enter all the ingredients into the recipe builder, then I enter the amount of servings that will bring the calories to what I want for each serving. For instance, I like to keep one dish meals under 500 calories a…

I prelog and prepare my food the day before. I find if I have everything ready to go, snacks measured and bagged, meals ready to heat up, I'm much more likely to stick to it. If I have to prepare my meal when I'm already hungry for it, I'm bound to overdue it.

I peel, slice and freeze them, and then put some in my oatmeal in the morning before I microwave it. They always seem to get ripe all at once, so this works perfectly. It's also good to eat the frozen slices as a snack, especially with a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Bump - for all the great advice!

Just a glimpse of the moving belt makes me dizzy, the same thing happens when I ride an escalator. I don't usually use the treadmill because of this, but the times I have, I'm sure I was holding on with a death grip. Just for the record, I don't need a guard rail when walking down the street, it's only when the ground is…

Do you have a covered litter box? I found this will prevent it from clumping, I assume because not enough air is getting to it. The same thing can happen if you use too much litter. I always use the cheapest clumping litter I can find, and as long there is room for air to circulate, it works fine. You may also need to use…

Sounds yummy, thanks!

Well said! This is along the lines of what I said, that people can be intelligent and excel in different ways. :smile:

LOL! I meant as long as you don't talk down to a person, they shouldn't be overwhelmed by how enormous your brain is. :wink:

I don't think anyone likes a person who's condescending. People can be intelligent in different ways and about different subjects. Some people have more acquired knowledge, while others possess a stronger ability to reason. I think personality plays a much higher factor than actual intelligence. You can be smart, but as…

Your legs look perfectly proportional to me. I grew up thinking I had abnormally small eyes because my Mom, brother and sister have these huge, somewhat protruding eyes. It's funny the ideas we can get in our heads. I say embrace your beautiful muscular legs!
