You have 2 1/2 year old twins. You should consider it a miracle that you are able to string words together in a sentence. I've got two kids who are close to five years apart and during their toddler years, I was lucky to have clean clothes for us all each day. Don't be so hard on yourself. Keep track of your food, make…

Jim, It's XARSIZE. It's tuf to reed ur posts when you half a mizspelt ward. But u kin putz me down four fife pownds, becuz I'm a giffer.

Sorry, I thought this was one of those verbal analogy test questions and I did so want to get it right...:cry:

... to bacon what cauliflower is to potatoes. edited to remove random word.

Do you have alcohol? You don't need to carbonate fruit, you can inject them with a creative combo of whatever you have. I hear they are a crowd pleaser. The stuffed pork sounds delicious.

I am a single mom with two kids. Whether or not adding a child to your family is harder depends entirely upon the children involved and how low you are willing to let your standards drop. If you have longing dreams of Martha Stewart style standards, you are going to be disappointed that it will be next to impossible to…

I make a modified version of the skinnytaste white bean turkey chili, adding Hatch green chiles. It goes over well with my crew.

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.

Well, now I'm hungry.

My response? "Thanks for your input." And then I walk away.

But what if your vision of honesty is my vision of rude/insulting? Seems like I just read a "rate the person above" thread where someone was insulted by the rating given from another person. Who gets to decide? (Correct answer is me, because I rule my monitor.) There is a lot going on. Why not just skip people who annoy…

Where are the Knights Who Say Ni?

Odd, I was just talking with a friend about this very thing yesterday. MFP mirrors my life once again. Except then I just had to tell her she was wrong as her variables were uncontrolled.

My daughter informed me that people who give out the individual serving sized chip bags are a close second behind those who give out full sized candy bars.

Just make a step in the right direction. Start honestly logging what you are eating, start walking, and troll the forums. There is a lot of garbage advice on the lists but there are also a lot of amazingly patient people who share their information. You'll soon figure out the difference between the two. You don't have to…

And often, I am.

MFP has added so much to my life. My vocabulary has increased exponentially. I can now use the term "special snowflake" correctly, incorrectly spell weird in emails, insert "10/10 would bang" in conversation, understand references to Moon Moon and can hardly wait to find a reason to refer to guys who are not female hygiene…

Congratulations! It feels great I'm guessing. Good for you.

>She's always doing that. 4 years ago she got me drumsticks and a cow bell, cuz I love Christopher Walken. TheRoadDog's daughter wins Most Awesome award. You must have done something right! :drinker:

Ann, you've been through one huge storm after another and sound like you're still in the middle of one. Even posting this shows a great deal of strength and a great attitude. Making even small steps to regain control is a great start. You should be proud of yourself for deciding to become more healthy. If you are like I…

I'd also call that success! Congrats to you and to your very hard work. Feels great, eh?:drinker:

52 here with thyroid issues here. I've been at it a year and am down 45 pounds but just had an ugly three month stretch where I was doing the same thing and staying within the same five pound range. There are a million different ideas about what to do when the stalls come, and I've tried a few things but nothing seemed to…

I agree with MzM. You did not gain that weight. I can weigh myself four times in one morning and can vary as much as five pounds. And that's before I eat. Weigh yourself if you must but know that what you're shooting for is a downward trend over time, not any particular number. Look at what you're eating, if anything seems…

Everyone is beautiful in their own way. I was going to comment on your lovely teeth. And the evenness of your skin tone.

What they said. But sometimes I'll decide to eat it anyway. Except it wouldn't be pizza, it would be chocolate. But perhaps no inner Gollum here either.

Even if it starts out by going on a five minute walk around the block. Dedicate a few minutes to it and soon you'll get back into the habit and…

edit.

Not taken life so seriously.

Also a single mom of two girls. I get the time crunch thing. Just make one good decision at a time and look for ways to move more! Feel free to add me, I check in daily.

Neither. With lime instead.:smile:
