I'm ready for it! This is my favorite track and I'm picking my favorite driver - Dale Jr!! My fingers are crossed that he doesn't miss his pit box - it's been his curse lately :grumble: Enjoy the race!

Kate, you are going to have so much fun! Remember every minute and take lots of pics! And post some here so we can all see! Where is your prom being held? Where are you going for dinner? Are you renting a limo (do people still do that?) What's the theme/song? I know, too many questions! But I love proms :-) I grew up in…

I don't have one, but I'd love one too. I love carrot cake!!! I don't think there's any way around the yummy cream cheese frosting, though...gotta go w/ full fat cream cheese and lotsa powdered sugar :love:

*waiting patiently*...haha! thanks!

I do like Derek Trucks and John Scofield. I haven't heard of the other two...I'll definitely check them out. Thanks for the suggestions! :drinker:

You are too funny! I'm gonna have to make some :smile:

I know out there in MFP land there are tons of music/guitar aficionados and I'm enlisting your help...if you'd like to provide input, that is. I'm making a guitar instrumental playlist with songs like this: Manhattan - Eric Johnson Europa - Santana Late Nite - Neal Schon Le Dome - Neal Schon Crying - Joe Satriani Asleep in…

You definitely have a gift for story telling AND...what a fantastic accomplishment! Congratulations! I never run anywhere, but I'm contemplating it now :smile: Way to go!!!!

Love oatmeal! It's great plain but also: Raisins and fat-free milk Other dried fruit - apricots are really good Trail mix Maple syrup or brown sugar Honey Nuts Fruit Enjoy!

I think you've definitely pulled it off! You look awesome! Way to go!:drinker:

I'm going to bed now. I burn a top driver like Kyle for a P17 finish....grrrr :mad: But it was nice to see Mark win. Good thing I just like racing.... Good Night, Y'all

Recreational Eating! HA! I love that :laugh: Stef: In the beginning I left the room alot. Not very social, but when my family was eating pizza and I didn't have the willpower, sometimes I had to just get outta there! It does get easier. I choose not to give everything up - I just make sure I can afford it. Tonight I had…

Exactly! I've always been a fan of Tony's! And I'd love to see JR win. I take it you're not a fan?? :frown:

I know; there's something not quite right with him being all calm. Every time he speaks, except when he's complaining about tires, I get the impression he's heavily medicated :laugh:

It's all good! I'm 5th out of 21 so not too bad at all I know - Kurt is rocking it! I'm really pulling for Tony this year! He's so funny since he had his lobotomy...just kidding!!! But the anger management from a few years ago really seems to have worked :laugh:

Glad to hear your mom's come through and is recovering. Remember to take care of yourself during her recovery...:flowerforyou: And congrats on doing so well with not gaining weight during such a stressful time. Peace

You rock! Congratulations...it's a great feeling, right? :drinker:

It's ok! It's all for fun! I love that NASCAR has the longest season of just about any sport!

Ok, so I'm a geek! I'm actually in a Fantasy Racing League. Kyle's my pick this week - Go Kyle, Go! Sadly, I seem to be going downhill...my first year - grand champion (whatever that means :laugh: ; second year - 3rd place; this year - currently 5th place. Oh well! Still love racing! Hope y'all are enjoying the race!

I don't think I've ever "spoken" to you before on MFP, but I have definitely enjoyed reading your posts. I'm so glad to hear you're on the mend. You and your family and the other kids are in my thoughts, my heart and my prayers. Oh, and so are thoughts of pudding - maybe I can will it to you!!! :heart:

If you decide on a fruit tray, you can make a really yummy, fun dip that all my friends/family seem to love - although you might have to resist it! Just take a brick of cream cheese, soften and mix with a jar of marshmallow creme. I guess you could use fat-free cc...

Bumping this. I have a really good pasta/veggie salad that I will send your way shortly. I'll send you the original recipe and I'll give you the mods I make so it's a bit more waistline-friendly. Sounds like it's going to be a fun party :smile:

I'm kind of like you. I'm up around 5:30 each morning, but I don't eat until I get to work - around 8:30. I don't really eat a traditional breakfast - I kind of eat all morning until lunch. It seems to work for me. First I have fat-free yogurt, about 1 hour later I'll have a packet of oatmeal, around 11:00 I'll have a…

I didn't read anything more about the story so I'm not sure what the ulitmate outcome was. I'm sure the report was just to be sensational. I travel alot and agree the airlines move people around all the time. The report that I heard implied that the airline didn't (or that's what I read into it)...that the person had to…

Did anyone happen to see FNC's brief coverage of this story last night? I may not be citing it correctly, but I think that Megyn Kelly said that one airline (JetStar? JetAir?) forced a passenger to purchase a second seat, but the two seats weren't together!! Really? Is that helpful? Overall, I think this is a valid…

Hey Amy, I know what you mean! But when I first started (almost 2 mos ago), I had a really hard time doing anything "in moderation" so I all but cut out carbs (my major downfall). I couldn't do a serving - one bite would lead to the entire loaf of bread, pot of pasta, etc. At that time, the mainstay of my diet was veggies…

I'm so sorry you suffer from migraines. I would not wish that on anyone. I haven't heard of the med you're taking, but I also don't get them as often as I did when I was younger. I used to get Imitrex shots when the headaches were really bad and they worked wonders. Then Imitrex came out with a pill. The pills also worked…

Cool! Thanks, I'll check it out! I saw someone else post about it, but I didn't ask about it at the time and then forgot what it was called. Love getting older....grrrrr!

Done #27. Good luck!

I put on a pair of previously butt-tight pants this morning :laugh: Thought they were 12s - they're actually 10. Didn't even know I had any 10s Woohoo! (I started out on this journey busting out of 14s) :bigsmile: What's Freecycle? Oh yeah! Congrats on your great progress!!!
