You pegged me--Love Firefly and Serenity too--own the box set and movie :-)

Haven't seen them--but I have seen (and loved) Spaceballs :-) Also, generally love sci-fi--i.e. Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, etc are among my favourite shows ever. Will watch the all--in order--at some point, but now I've waited so long, I need to do it in some epic marathon fashion...

Coincidentally--I was just reading up on these burgers a few hours ago since I stocked up on a couple of boxes and wondered belatedly whether that was a good idea. Here's a link to an article (along with a link to a study inside the article) about hexane and neurotoxins in some of these products.…

Winter is coming so soups can be a great low cal option. Check out this link for low calories soups! http://www.fatsecret.com/recipes/collections/nutrition/low-calorie/under-100-calorie/Soups.aspx

I'm the same size as you (OP) and Enell is amazing--get the 0 or the 00 size.

Always eat my least favourite food first. That includes ice cream in a cone, where I always eat from the bottom up--I eat the cone first and then the ice cream at the top. It always makes for an interesting and slightly harrowing experience making sure I don't drop my ice-cream. I wouldn't have it any other way! Edited to…

Pre-planning is vital to keeping me on track. I love doing the math (OK--so MFP does all the calculations) ahead of time and amending as necessary as most people have said. I will sometimes add food items a day ahead, so again, I have an idea of what I am supposed to eating (and can adjust accordingly)--this is also…

Thanks to everyone who just posted in this thread about running/signing up for a race. You just inspired me to sign up for a 10K on Thanksgiving morning. Great idea everyone!

I'm the same way--very streaky. It could easily be a 4000-5000 calorie day for me, so in order not to derail progress, I am definitely going to go on line, plan and log my food and try to stay out of the kitchen! That being said, I am always excited for Thanksgiving and time with the family. Also. Football. Hail to the…

Yes--was in Jamaica. Talked to people I may never have before, did some guided tours--fantastic. Stayed at some amazing places. It can be fun, but you will need to make the effort to connect to other people if that's your interest. Otherwise, you can enjoy being solo for the trip too!

Everybody (Backstreet Boys) Manamana (Muppets) Shake Ya *kitten* (Mystikal) The song is so dirty, I get embarrassed just listening to it. Really need to delete it. Wake me up (Wham) Agadoo (Black Lace) The list goes on, but that's all I'm willing to post :-)

-"That's retarded." -"That's so gay." -"mines" instead of "mine"--as in "Mines is better than yours." WRONG! -Also hate when people say--"You look good" or "this tastes good." This is a bit of an Americanism I know, but using "good" in this sense is bad grammar (since it is an adjective not an adverb). -Finally, hate the…

Welcome fellow Brooklynite!

Here! (33) (Easiest post to reply to so far--except the "What's your birth sign?")

Taurus all the way.

Either day works for me. Looking forward to meeting everyone!

This is all I can think of off the top of my head (and without checking passport stamps!) -Sierra Leone -Burkina Faso -Niger -South Africa -India -France -Switzerland -Jamaica -Germany -Saudi Arabia -Canada -UK (born there) -USA (where I live now) Edited to say Latin America is glaringly missing, but plan on rectifying…

Loved the British Bulldog, the Undertaker, Razor Ramon and Ric Flair as a child. Also remember randomly liking Tatanka. (Didn't want to pick one--if I did, it would be the British Bulldog.)

Thunder, thunder, THUNDER, THUNDERCATS, HO!!!!!!!!

Happy to have rediscovered the joy of cooking and eating healthier! Also happy to have discovered a cheap smoothie place in my neighborhood!

Goal is 115 but who knows--I usually get stuck around 128 so once I make it to 120, I'll reevaluate based on how I look :-)

Carline 33 Brooklyn Hi!

Born in London, currently live in Brooklyn, NY.

Spinach, soups (which I now put spinach and red cabbage in!) and tabouleh!

Enell all the way!

I like 3 and 4 the best! 3 va va voomy (but still classy) and 4 is classy.

Was a good game--Saints are a classy team. Just so happy 'Skins held on.

Great suggestions all--I am getting great ideas reading these!
