For those that like the Southern Tier Pumpking, try rimming the glass in cinnamon/sugar. Amazing. I also highly recommend it with pumpkin donuts.

Naked/little clothing being used to show vulnerability during a breakup song - Not a terrible concept. Predictable at best. Same thing with the use of an actual wrecking ball for a song with the same title. Singer riding said wrecking ball - also makes sense. Mallet *kitten* and sexualizing said riding - make much less…

big bags of raw spinach (you can eat raw as a salad or cook it up). I like to make a salad with eggs (also cheap) canned beets (more cheap), and homemade dressing (yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, and spices - cheap if you already have the spices). Frozen chicken breasts can be less expensive then fresh, and while…

This works for me too. It's possible it could be a placebo effect, but as soon as I hit a sore throat, I pop the melt tabs as frequently as I can, up my vitamin C, and drink a ton of water. My colds have been a lot less severe than my co-workers (and some I've managed to avoid by doing this when they're sick).

I'm sorry for your loss. Welcome back to MFP. We're all here to support you!

it's PUMPKING time! Had a mix of Southern Tier Pumpking and Southern Tier Java (also good with Guinness if there's no Java on tap). I think of all the pumpkin beers out there, Pumpking is my favorite!

Agreed on the doctor bit. If you weigh 103 pounds and you don't know whether you need to gain, lose, or stay the same weight wise, the only person who can accurately answer that for you is your doctor. What I'm trying to say is that any information in this thread to the contrary is incorrect. So stop reading this thread,…

Don't worry about it today (or do a little bit extra on your work out) and then tell that bare naked bear to take a hike!

my understanding of the ban discussion (in the US) it that it revolves around the FDA's statement that they don't know whether 1) the vapor exhaled has any adverse affects on your neighbors (this is the same second hand smoke argument from the regular cigarette ban) and 2) whether the lack of combustion (which in theory…

Why is this making me cry so much? I'm serious - what has this triggered?

this troll post (yes - I am calling you a troll) is a great tool for summing up my like for tattoos. Good tattoos are fantastic. Bad tattoos, not so much.

I eat fruit as snacks a lot. I tend to go through fruit "stages" but right now it's cuties and watermelon. I also keep string cheese or babybel light. I also subscribe to 100/120 calorie popchip/popchip tortilla bags on amazon, and eat that instead of regular chips. I like that they're single serving size, and the tortilla…

This. Heavier folks can lose weight faster, but rapid weight loss can also be a sign of some bad stuff (diabetes is one of them). So check in with your doc, and as long as s/he says you're doing ok, keep it up. edited for spelling

No - he's 16 (from what you say), and my guess is that you're older than that. If you're a complete stranger, than this could be perceived as creepy. If you're worried about him, mention it to a gym employee.

This story is what I needed today. Thank you!

Do not be embarrassed. People who are serious about working out will commend you for looking awful and sweaty after a workout - you actually went there and did work (as opposed to the people who go to the gym and sort of flit around without actually working). At my gym, there's people of all shapes and sizes - huge…

Chill on the shaming of strangers. Who even knows if she has any idea that this guy has a g/f. Plus, maybe she asked him to take photos of her butt.

I agree with other folks that say it wasn't cheating. But there are lots of reasons to break up with someone that have nothing to do with cheating. For example, taking photos of other girls *kitten* and texting them about it (unless you have some sort of understanding about that - which if you did, you wouldn't be posting…

Chicago for one week in two weeks! I haven't been in 3 years, so I am EXCITED!! (I live in Florida - we take vacations in cities)

nope. my poop smells like roses.

you've asked a few questions here As for the hydration percentage - talk to your doctor, and ask if the 46% is ok for you. Don't take the gym nurse's word on it if you're worried. If you are thirsty all the time despite drinking (which you don't seem to say - but that's how folks have interpreted it), you can always get…

There's calories in there - not a lot of calories - but several of those ingredients have calories, so I don't know how they can call it calorie free. I would agree that it's a nice sub for mayo though - I'd rather get my fats in from avocado, nuts or dairy vs. mayo, so this would be a nice alternative.

You are such an inspiration! Keep up the good work, and make sure to post updates!

The majority of women really don't care. Just keep it very short (either razor shaven, or a tight buzz, like you see in Jason Statham or Bruce Willis). What women don't like is the comb over or desperate attempt to hold on to hair that you just don't have (like balding guys who have long hair - think bozo the clown or rhps…

Woohoo!! I've had to cut back on beer for weight loss, but if I drink it, I drink something good. No low carb/lite beers here - I would much rather enjoy a single pint of something fantastic than drink several ultras, although I know everyone has their own opinion on that. Right now, I'm a Southern Tier Blackwater series…

I spend money on all that stuff (my money btw, and stuff I mean clothes, makeup, jewelry, skin care, nail polish, etc) for me. So I feel like I look good. My hubs - he likes me both ways, but I do all that stuff cause I like the way I look!

I wanted a vintage look, so I opted for tea length, strapless. It belled out and hit below my knee, but well above my ankles. I wore a wide net mini veil and a fascinator. It was actually a white bridesmaids dress through this group: http://www.dessy.com/ (my dress isn't on there anymore, but they have lots in white). It…

I wear an 11 and I have no trouble finding shoes. I mostly shop online but I have easily 100 pairs. Flats, heels, sandals, dress shoes - everything! I will be honest, I shop mostly online, and like target, torrid, payless, and iron fist, but I can find them in the store too. I have no trouble with shoes!

My body does this too. I always assume this is what is going on: (Pre MFP) Body: Hey fat, I really love you. Isn't is awesome how she always over-eats all the time. We're going to be best buds forever! (MFP) Body: Wait - WTF! Where are all my thousands upon thousands of calories! Hell no, I hate this, I'm holding on to all…

You could also try a bit less corn; maybe start with 1 cup.
