Must be TOM! : D

You beat me to it! I clicked on here hoping to be the first one to make an ED comment.

If you really want to own a home, move to Detroit or Memphis. Homes are ridiculously cheap and you can get in on the ground floor of a city slowly coming back to life. You can seriously buy a decent home in Detroit for 10-20k. Might not be a good neighborhood, but the prices are tempting.

Brining's the only way to go. That's why I'm the one bringing the smoked turkey breast.

I've gotten the shot for 10+yrs now. I work with developmentally disabled adults, and I'm routinely sneezed on, spit on, and worse. I've never had a reaction to the shot, & have gone from getting the flu once a year before the shot, to not getting it since starting with shots.

Love that one! It's an old John Waters quote.

Take a camera anyway. He's really cool & might take a pic with you even if the people putting it on don't want him to. I've met him a few times at different conventions I've worked, and he's always been very nice & friendly. Have fun!

Sounds like you're in the same position I was when I started this. I weighed about the same & could do very little with a bad back & knees. So far I've lost almost 70 pounds just by counting calories on here. I've already been amazed at how much better I feel with this (relatively minor) weight loss. Even if you can't…

That's exactly what sold me on this site a year ago. I figured out my daily calories and it was exactly the same as yours. And yes, mine was just an average day too. Way over that a lot of the time.

Hippie!!!

Everything. I treat it like a game, if I'm under at the end of the day, I win.

It's the air pushing down on top of the wings, not the air under them, that keeps planes in the air.

Couldn't keep my eyes dry while I finished your post. SO sorry for your loss! I've been a lifelong dog person, but some endear themselves to you more than others. Sounds like you had a wonderful friend!

Welcome! If I can add any advice on your PCS, it would be to integrate yourself into German culture as much as possible while you're there. I lived in Switzerland when I was 7&8, and again at 14. Going to Swiss schools and having Swiss friends was the best part of it. We were able to do so much more than people who only…

BBQ! Pulled pork, meatloaf, ribs, sausage, mmmmm.... I'm making myself hungry. : P

Just take your time & stay under your calories (most days) and in time it'll all fall into place. You'll be keeping up with your daughter in no time. At least until she's a teenager. ; )

Eating pizza in the greater Chicago area, and not getting a Lou Malnati’s deep dish, is just a sin! ; )

Haha!!! I love this realization!

Wow! I put potatoes in my smoker for about 4hrs, then finish them in the oven for half an hour to crisp up the skin. It's unbelievable how much flavor a little smoke adds to them. Best potatoes I've ever had, and no more calories than a regular baked potato.

I just treat it like a game. Every day I finish under my calories, I win. I also log my calories before I eat them. Sometimes it helps me change what I'm going to eat before it's too late.

Log your calories before you eat them (might save you some poor choices). If you crave something, eat it, just in moderation & pace the rest of your day accordingly. Most important, stick with it & over time you'll see results.
