It was old news. :laugh:

A body like that + quotes Shakespeare = :love: Let's get some good cardio in... and bring your weight belt! :wink:

While we're at it, can we acknowledge that what Hamlet actually said was "Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio..." He never said he knew him "well." What can I say? I'm something of a scholar. :laugh: (And I'm not touching the cardio vs. strength thing; no desire to bite that meaty hook.)

If what you have written here is accurate, Candi, you need to follow the advice that everyone here has given you. Don't worry about the ten pounds right now. Focus on getting yourself and your children out of that situation. There should be programs somewhere in your area that can help you make a plan to leave him... and…

I was just heading back in here to talk about forts... and somebody beat me to it! I was going to say: remember when your neighbor would get a new appliance, like a fridge or a stove, and your first thought was NEW BOX FORT!!! We would connect a few huge boxes together and feel like we made a palace. :laugh:

I think your profile pic looks an awful lot like a pic of success. Care to rethink? And I find posts like yours to be unwelcome wet blankets. Your point? "Better than" what? Better than showering each other with praise for a job well done? Yes, we should be so much better than giving out pats on the back to those who are…

Creature Double Feature on Channel 56 for you Boston-area folks... also, Electric Company and Zoom. Reading Judy Blume books, and how big of a deal it was... "Are you there God, it's me, Margaret" etc. The show "Kids Are People Too" and the day Kiss appeared on the show... also, Kiss dolls and Kiss trading cards. Back when…

The absence of music = TV's jaw was still dropped like the non-book-readers. "And now, a moment of silence as we mourn the annihilation of your innocence."

I did this the last time I lost weight and it worked very well. I even used the names of the clothing as a mantra when I would get a craving for something that would derail my progress toward my goal. I would chant in my head things like "snap leg jeans, snap leg jeans" or "vinyl skirt, vinyl skirt" and pretty soon I was…

Holy crap, this thing rolled... The reason I have the "I Fight Cancer" shirt on in my profile pic is that I lost a good friend and mentor to cancer last year. When he was diagnosed, he switched to an all-organic vegan diet that fits even the strictest definition of "clean eating." Perhaps it helped extend his life by a few…

So much win.

Bottles were not listed, so you're all set. :drinker:

Different countries have different processes for approving substances. That's why Canada had Splenda for many years before it was approved in the United States. (And we're still learning things about Splenda through studies.) People can't even agree on what makes a food "processed" or "clean." People in government are no…

Whoever wrote the original deserves all the awards.

It is slightly related. At least he wasn't in here shilling for car insurance!

Do you know how many people die from this every year? Scary stuff. We should ban it.

I was just speaking about the programs, like Whole30, rather than discussing individual preferences or beliefs about sugar. We may also be discussing two different definitions of clean eating. For some people, "clean eating" means strict adherence to a specific plan (could be Atkins, South Beach, Zone, etc.) while for…

Dammit, now I'm jonesing. One Sashimi Deluxe, please...

Just a little PSA: Regarding sushi, it may be worth mentioning that the rice is made with sugar. I think that goes against Rule #1 in the clean eating handbook... That said, I love sushi. I also love sashimi, and when I wanted to avoid sugar, I ordered sashimi. Skip the rice and you're all set.

:laugh: :laugh: Clean eaters hate when Mirey shows up in these threads. :laugh: :laugh: It's like: Mirey. /end thread

Yah khed! :wink:

Didn't I have Canadian bacon for breakfast? Does this mean my vote is cast? :laugh:

You know I'm from the Boston area and you think I might not know how to play Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon???? :noway:

Do you mean actual bacon or Canadian bacon? :wink:

Whaddya mean? We don't have accents. We landed here, remember? Then everyone moved away and started talking funny... :wink: Seriously, though: My husband tells me all the time he always wanted a girl with a Boston accent. He loves it. Me, I appreciate most accents -- except Southern US. That does nothing for me.

This isn't my first time losing this weight, so I have a whole other perspective. When I see someone who is obviously unhappy with their weight, I sympathize first and foremost. And if they ask me what I have done to lose mine, I give a brief explanation and offer my support, up to and including inviting them to walk or…

And nothing says "Somebody's got a wild night planned" like going through the checkout around one in the morning at the 24 hour WalMart behind a drunk woman purchasing only whipped cream, a lawn chair, and a douche... Your point again, and again, and again?
