I heard Cult of Personality on the Classic Rock station and hung my head in defeat. That was a big song my senior year in HS...

When you have to make regular visits to an 'ologist' that doesn't start with 'gynoc'. Urologist Cardiologist Nephrologist You get the point...

OMG - right???

I hit 50 days straight on MFP today, which means I've committed to better health longer than any other time in my life.

These are fantastic suggestions. Preparing ahead of times lets you be both creative and speedy.

This.

All battery-operated, talking toys are creepy when the batteries get low. Tickle Me Elmo, Teddy Ruxpin, and Furby have all given me a scare. Why do they always freak out in the middle of the night? *shiver*

Oh, and Troll Dolls. I don't get Troll Dolls.

Jeans that hang so low your underwear show. I saw three guys pushing a car that was out of gas across an intersection. They each had only one hand on the car because they're other hand was holding up their pants, which were hanging just under their butt cheeks. Do. Not. Understand.

Haahahaahahahahaahahaaaaa!:laugh:

Aleve or Advil is a good step in the right direction if you have pain. There's data that suggests continuing to be active decreases cramping and bloating. Plus, any time you work out, you rev up those endorphins, which helps mood.

My Dad and I are still so close because we did this when I was younger! So awesome. I've started it with my four boys. Once a week, I take one of them on a date. They pick the dinner and I pick the activity. I like that it's time with them each and that it gets them away from their electronics and that it introduces them…

You can repeat weeks. The training program is 8 or 9 weeks (depending on the program you choose), but most of them encourage you to repeat weeks if you feel like you need to. Go at you own pace, listen to your body, and be very proud of yourself for ANY effort you put toward it. One poster out here called what she did…

There are some that are so close but 10 pounds off on CW. 5'7 sw 188 cw 170 gw 140

I LOVE these kinds of posts. Thank you - very encouraging!!!

This one. And "I'll Still Be Loving You" by Restless Heart

Wow...I hate to tell you - but when you complain about people being judgmental in sentences like this - it makes you look pretty hypocritical.

I'm on week 2. I'm impressed you made it to week 7 - that's already an accomplishment! I'm with everyone else - you got this.

Are you sure you're in an English-speaking gym? Maybe you shouldn't be looking for an 'R' and an 'L'...

My favorite post of all time.

I'm the opposite. I drink all the broth then eat the noodles. Also, I eat penne pasta by putting the fork tines into the tubes and lifting it like a fork lift. My kids think this is an awesome way to both play with your food and also have good manners. :smile:

Oh, before we cut out the allergen, we used a mixture of equal parts Vitamin E oil (or sometimes grapeseed oil - the cosmetic, not food grade), Eucerin, and Cortisone. You might try that combo with the coconut oil another member posted.

I second this. My youngest son had eczema for three years and we tried lots of things. We took him to an allergist and discovered he was allergic to peanuts (not deathly, but enough to give his asthmatic reactions), we cut out peanuts and guess what? No more eczema. Totally gone. Get your daughter checked for allergies.

Little Wing by Jimi Hendrix

Sometimes I have the same problem. Out of nowhere, I'll be starving around 8:30 - even after a good dinner. I think the solution is finding something in the 50-70 calorie range that satisfies you. For me, I will either drink 1 cup of carrot juice (I love that stuff - and it's full of potassium), or I'll grab 5-6 frosted…

This. I logged half of a dried apricot yesterday.

I read this whole post without knowing what 'thigh gap' was and giggled. Then I googled 'thigh gap' while I was drinking water and almost choked. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
