Any organ. Anything that must be "smoothied" to be edible. Any food I don't personally like.

Seconded. It helps a lot and makes life easier.

You sound fun. Best of luck in your vocation.

Absolutely this. Besides, it doesn't hurt me to believe in one and it for sure helps me.

I'll help. I'm a giver. And a taker.

Well *I'm* not married. Add m&ms and I'll propose.

I find I can only relate to people who have birthdays within 3 or 4 weeks of mine. It's kind of like those are the people I "correlate" to. I have awesome friends, and their ages span the whole magic rainbow. There might even be a few in their late 30s though I haven't looked lately.

I started walking faster (the speed at which I run is what I call "sloth speed") in December. I started being able to run for a *solid* four minutes. At sloth speed. But every other day I ran. And tried to add one minute every other run or so. I'm now at 44 minutes and 3.3 miles. My plan is to continue going this way til I…

The advantage of being around a while is that you see people for a while. And anyone who had ever read any of Homer's post, would know that he was joking. Instant-anger isn't always your friend.

Do you think that adding your hydroponic product to brownies would help the healthiness of the brownies?

I have some of the same issues as you do. What has helped is that this new way of life has become a habit. Motivation flags some days, but because I always go to the gym after work, I still go to the gym after work. My levels are currently all over the place. But I still drag my sorry self to the gym because I know that is…

Will they be cleansing?

On board the love train.

That's a very generous offer. I'd help with anything that didn't cover. Because I would never want cash to stand in the way of any dreams you have.

I put it down to "some days are like that." Usually, I can disconnect my head from my legs and I love those runs, my thoughts flit from deep theological issues to "oh look, there's a cloud over there and it looks like a dragon" to wondering what's going on with a friend to "how much longer" to work stuff... And I feel like…

And resaid.

Earbuds. That is my secret weapon. From the time I leave the locker room til I return, I am inside my head, listening to my music while I do whatever it is I'm doing that day. It's like there is an invisible wall around me. Orientations helped, so I at least had a clue what the "stuff" was for and how to make them work but…

Highest of Fives to you!

GLITTERBOMBS for everyone!

This is my new favoritest MFP thread ever. And that's saying something because I was here for the Moon Moon days. Claiming my seat right there in the center, as previously discussed.

What Otter said. Once your levels are managed, sadly but truly, you have to do what everyone else has to do: less food/more exercise. I had been promised a "magical pounds will just start melting off" but they LIED. I had to count calories and move. But the good news is that counting calories and moving does work!

My FL. Seriously. While I didn't bribe or buy all of them, they have done more to motivate me than any other single thing in my life. I have a gym membership and I like that, I have ok shoes and they are swell too, though I covet an awesome pair like Amber has, but those things pale in comparison to reading what my friends…

Welcome! One thing I really like about MFP and the helpful people on it, is that there are no forbidden foods, you just have to find a way to adjust to make room for them (welcome back to my world chocolate). When I felt continually deprived of something I loved, I became resentful and would revolt. It might take a little…

And yet, you accepted me. Must have been an off day for you.

But you send them to friends you haven't yet met, correct?

This. Something they said made me laugh, or I wanted to ask something and didn't want to derail their thread, or I had a flash of brilliance and felt the need to reach out and share.

I was going to say the same thing and then I realized that all my new friends are from this site so, because we're all here on this journey for the same reason, they are doing it too. Actually, most of my in real life friends haven't said a ton about it, either good or bad.

Not a thing. Spa day rocks!

This. I've lost 50 pounds and they all came off at 50+ with a crappy thyroid. Just do what you know you need to be doing and decide you are in it for the long haul. All the same stuff applies no matter what age you are.

Since he's a Higgs, he can unify everything. Schrodinger fooled us all, he actually had a kangaroo rat in the box. Therefore the cat is alive.
