  • 2004 Toyota Sienna Minivan with over 150K miles. This says I'm a mom :-) LOVE IT! Most practical vehicle with kids. It fits EVERYTHING including the dog.
  • Diagnosed June 2013...chemo, lumpectomy and radiation...just finished. Came back here to lose the weight I gained during treatment because I was pretty successful the last time I made this a priority.
  • I thought Levothyroxine was the generic to Synthroid. Is my pharmacy wrong? Just had my first dose of Levothyroxine this morning and my bottle shows it to be the generic (a substitute), which I wasn't too happy about.
  • I would not have said anything. I'd just think she is spoiled. My daughter is 9 and I don't plan on getting her one until she is at least in middle school...possibly high school. It would depend on a lot of things. Currently, she has my flaky iPod Touch second generation and she is thrilled. She also has a DS...good enough…
  • Rented a house (villa) in the US Virgin Islands.
  • We went to Disney for Thanksgiving week. I splurged when I wanted to, but also took some of my own snacks for breakfast a few days as well...Kashi Trail Mix Granola Bars and EAS Advantedge Carb Control meal replacement shakes. I had Thanksgiving dinner for lunch one day. I was happy I could have a traditional Thanksgiving…
  • I took a healthy lifestyle/weight management class run by a dietitian and that is how I found this website. She recommended logging your food and exercise and that 90% of those that are successful at weight loss and keeping it off track these items. In fact, she said she even tracks these things herself. It's not all…
  • My husband would like me to do this one. He is neat freak and I am not :-)
  • Oh, I'm going to enjoy it. I enjoyed the Texas State Fair and did just fine. That was only one day though. Can't wait!! The drive to and from will be brutal..but plan to make even that fun :-)
  • How did you do? We leave to drive from Texas to Walt Disney World next Friday. We will be there 4 days. I'm thinking that will be tough, but I know I will be walking A LOT!
  • Bev said it...and so nicely, too!! The negative thoughts will sabotage you EVERY time!! Every time you have a negative thought such as the ones you mentioned, you really need to stop yourself. I am taking an 8 week course for healthy lifestyle/weight management. Last week we discussed "cognitive restructuring". We talk to…
  • I can do this. Walking up and down the stairs for 5 minutes after lunch sounds like something I should do each day I go into the office.
  • I prefer to do the cooking. My husband can cook, but I just prefer my food to his...especially since I have been cooking for both of us for about 11 years. I think he has really forgotten all he knew. He can still make Mac 'N Cheese from a box :-) He does do most of the dishes, laundry etc. It seems he doesn't do the…
  • The dietitian running the class I am taking says to average your calories. I would imagine it would extremely hard and stressful to be so rigid.
  • The elliptical is a hard machine, not as hard as the step in my opinion, but MUCH harder than the stationary bike or the treadmill. I remember the first time I had ever gotten on the elliptical at the gym with my friend years ago. I thought I'd die about 5-10 minutes in and she went for 30 minutes like nothing. I've gotten…
  • I love all the Mel Brooks movies. So much fun to watch...that would be a good collection to have.
  • I can't help with the stopping smoking problem, but agree with laursey...carry lots of healthy snacks that you can munch on a lot without all the calories. And know that one day is not necessarily a "failure." I am taking a "healthy lifestyle" class at work led by a Certified Dietitian she said even 2 days out of 10 are…
