OMG Marla - that is so scary.. Thank God she is OK now.. I know you've heard this before and know it is true, but seriously, you need health insurance.. Wish Hilary Clinton had gotten further with mandatory health insurance for all.. Take care of all of you - I'll be thinking of you.. jb

yup, I was going to say almonds.. great source of protein and really good for you.. but fish and fowl (chicken and turkey) are also great choices.. as is soy anything.. good luck.. jb

to wipe my

Welcome to MFP!! This is a great site for motivation and help.. Good luck on your journey.. BTW - it is cold (and has been for way, way, way too long) up here in CT...:frown: :frown: but I do like to hear about better weather, even if it makes me a tad jealous..:grumble: jb

OHhh, salmon Lori.. another red/pink food - not to be confused with beets.. I went to a food lecture at work yesterday about "SuperFoods" - not sure I really go for the whole "Super" aspect, but there are definitely some foods with more nutritional bang for the buck.. Salmon is one of the best.. and very tasty too.. enjoy…

What doesn't?? Sorry Nicky - couldn't resist..

I love this - thanks anna_banana.. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Yes, it gets tiring.. but it beats the alternative...:tongue: :tongue:

LOL :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

OMG - Anna - I want to be you.. I daydream all the time about having my own place to start horses and just ride when I can.. I board about 20 minutes away, and with work (see previous post about work messing with my fun) and the family, I find it hard to get away.. I keep thinking I will retire somewhere with a ranch..…

Absolutely!!!! Could you imagine if they had a machine like that to test for testicular cancer?? They don't, do they??? Sorry, took me a while to respond.. had to do some work -- damn work, totally get's in the way of all my fun... janie who needs to work less and steals the best ideas from Lynnie

OH, 3 babybeans - you beat me too it.. you techno nut!!

Hi, the multivitamin can definitely turn your urine yellow - I believe it is the B vitamins.. The post for exercise calories can explain this better than I ever could.. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/10589-for-those-confused-or-questioning-eating-your-exercise-calo janie

Welcome Donna - this site is fantastic.. Good luck with your journey.. :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: janiebeth

My weight tends to fluctuate (pretty wildly some weeks of the month - LOL). As others have mentioned, it really is a long term process. If you are sticking to the calories allotted and getting at least some exercise in, you will see the results - but not always every week. Best to concentrate on changing the bad habits and…

OMG - that cracks me up... like, OOOOPPss Bumpity bump..

Thanks Shannon I had to work up to it.. I tend to panic swim ("OMG, need to get to the other end of the pool before I drown"), so getting the breathing down was a HUGE challenge.. jb

Swim 200 yards without stopping.. What good timing - I just did this for the first time last night.. thanks, Jb

It's tempting... the prices I am seeing in CT make me think it would be cheaper to pay the shipping.. There are a lot of stories out there of people having to give up horses because of the economy.. It is just heartbreaking.. At least maybe I can help one.. wish I could help them all... I'd have a yard full of mustangs..…

Our bodies are the smartest machines out there.. I just wish I could understand mine a bit more sometimes.. :tongue: :tongue: Thanks for sharing..jb

why waste time. ps, tweber - your monkey scares me..:laugh: :laugh:

Thanks so much for posting this.. I have been buying the packets (I like the lower sugar ones), but would rather save money and make my own flavors.. I owe ya one..jb

exactly what I was going to post.. congrats Lynnie..

Are you sure?? But everything seems so much better afterwards... :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

OMG - I love beets - all kind of beets.. but then I like broccoli and spinach too - guess I am just really weird.. Lori - I love this challenge.. I have to think about my 3 things, but I have some machines in mind at the gym that I may work up the courage for.. Anna - I didn't know you have horses.. we should talk - I am…

Welcome back Emily.. I ran the same experiment a while back - and got the same type of results. BUMMER good luck getting back to it..

Wow, it was like the Nicky/Lori hour here for a while. I hated to break in up.. but then Jeannie beat me to it.. I know what you mean Nicky - there were some heated threads here. There are some individual folks that I have learned not to engage, as they are so convinced that they hold the only keys to success, and that…

Sort of like a fried chicken place - not inappropriate, but not very healthy either..

OMG - I read "ChickAdee" as "Chick-Fil-A" - I need a snack - really bad..:devil: :devil:

How funny!! I thought this was a trick thread to see who is still dealing with cravings. :laugh: :laugh: I'm with hibbler - just donate, don't partake.. jb
