Hey there yourself! I don't get north of 114 as much as I used to...how is it up there!?!?

I live in the Keller area and we had snow this morning...but you are right, driving to DT Dallas for work it stopped. Last week was nuts, it really did remind me of Michigan winters!

If I am not mistaken it is both a protien source and a healthy fat!!! Score!!!! The question is, is it 1/2 cup shelled or 1/2 cup pods? 1/2 cup shelled to me is alot, then again I mix it with 1/2 cup brown rice...but I think it is more fun (and slower) to have to "de pod" them. :laugh:

And the people drive like the sky is falling!!! Really though, if I liked this kind of weather I would have stayed in Detroit! I am bored and cold...I want spring to come to Texas!

I am not sure if it was a one time thing but it was on Sunday as well on NBC so check your listings. Also, It won't be back on until the olympics are over on March 2nd according to NBC.com... Just a heads up.

Thank you as well!!! I am learning something new today that is for sure!

Thank you so much!!! This is very helpful. And I think I may have to spoil myself and get a HRM. :smile:

Hahaa thanks! I am so glad that he went with the 88 as his new number, otherwise all my user names would just be wrong since most were set up before he changed teams. Lets hope for a better season!

I also am a chubby girl in Texas...DFW area...

Tool has so many wonderful lyrics to chose from...nice choice!

I have two...I have a fairy in between my shoulderblades. I am not huge into fairys but when I saw her I saw who I want to be. She is elegant, confident, and down right sexy! And then I have a tramp stamp...a turtle with a checkerd flag (aka TurboTurtle). This again speaks to who I am...a little funny and I am my own…

I also am a former Fitday.com user...actually I still log my weight on that one because I like the graphs better. I love MFP for the support, message boards, and actual food tracking. Welcome!!!

I also am on thyroid medication...and have been since they think that is what caused my miscarriage 10 years ago. Amazing how one little hormone can cause so much havek on a body! I do find losing harder than when I was younger...I am sure it is a combination of factors but the thyroid is not helping anything!

A black pencil skirt with a small slit up the front of a leg and a top that stops just below the waistband so that I don't have hide my butt :happy:

I have a very hour-glass shape...I just wish it was the smaller hour-glass of my pre-baby years hahaha I am a 5'4" and 186.6, currently I usually wear a 12 but it is big in the waist and tight on the hips...so some brands I have to get a 14 or even a 16!!! As far as tops I have to get Extra Large and avoid buttons at all…

I would have to have someone else hide it...because it really isn't hiding if I know where it is and it would be too tempting to get it back out. But I know I am emotionally driven by the numbers, good or bad! Congrats on the 81 pound loss...that is awesome!!!

Week two has been a struggle for me too! You are not alone!!! But WHEN (not if) we get through this it is just another success!!!

I have used many of those and like most...except the Dancing with the Stars one, I love dancing so thought I would love that one...but I didn't. It was a big disappointment.

Wonderful, that is kinda what I told myself but I doubt my thoughts sometimes!! I also thought I was going to have to count the individual penne...and would have if it came to that!!! :happy: Thanks ladies!!!

I have often wondered about excess skin...actually I am kinda scared of it. There I said it...I AM SCARED OF EXCESS SKIN! But I am not going to let it stop me!

I lost 9 in my 1st week (this time around). I know my diet was heavy in fat and salt right up until the night before I began so I am certain most of that is "water weight". This morning I was up a half pound, I consider that my body correcting itself since my diet and activity hadn't changed for the week...so I am not at…

I love heavy foods! Lasagna with garlic bread is a biggie! And fast food...ugh! I am not huge fan of salty foods and can usually pass on the sugary stuff too...but when it does hit I have sugar free jello pudding snack or a banana split minus the ice cream. I just slice up a banana (and sometimes strawberries) drizzle with…

I go by weighing...simply because I don't trust my measuring...off the littlest bit and the number is different. I wish there was an foolproof method...that was affordable :wink:

Thanks!

Wonderful info!!! Thanks for posting!

One word ~ Incredible!!!

Same here!!! I think I fell off the wagon onto my head, causing me to lose all common sense!!! :laugh:

And I thought that just happened in MY house!

Wow! Turning down cheese is huge in my book!!! You are a woman on a mission! You go girl!
