**LOVE THIS!!!*** Hmmm...twinkie & vodka diet. If I didn't hate twinkies, I would've probably attempted that diet! :laugh:

Do you know the brand name of the monitor? I think I may go there today after work & check it out.

Slow and steady wins the race. I loved reading this & got the impression that you weren't trying to lose all the weight overnight (which, of course, is IMPOSSIBLE). So many people have posted on here about wanting to throw in the towel because they gained a few pounds in a couple of weeks, or didn't lose any, or aren't…

For a quick snack, I'll usually get a Honey Mustard Grilled Chicken Snack Wrap. If I want a meal, I get a salad or one of their newer grilled chicken McWraps.

I did the same thing at work today. We had a potluck for one of my coworkers who's last day was today - plus it's Independence Day. I figured it's been quite awhile since I totally went off the reservation, so I just embraced it & will get back on track tomorrow! :wink:

Me neither. But, then again, not having a uterus is probably why. :smile:

Same here.

This.^^^^ Some questions just bring out the best in people. :mad:

That was our wedding song 21 years ago.

LOL! I remember that episode...

O...MG... THIS!!!! :love:

I just turned 42 last week. I'm 5'2" & my starting weight was 271.5. I currently weigh 249.25 & started my journey in the first week of December 2012. No diet - just changed my views/thoughts on eating. I also started being more active - I joined a bowling league once a week (that ended in April, but will start back up…

This literally made me LOL...at work...

I'm afraid of smoking for fear of inhaling will cause me to cough up a lung. Does it come in pill form? :laugh:

Is porridge just another word for oatmeal? Or are they 2 different things? I've only heard of porridge in children's nursery rhymes.

Same here! If I don't log my food right away, I forget. We aren't allowed cell phones in the dispatch center, but as of right now MFP isn't blocked. If it does get blocked, I'll have to actually WRITE my food down on PAPER...with a PEN!!! Oh, the horror! :laugh:

This. Is. Awesome.

I've just started walking my dog (a beagle named Jude) walking 2 miles w/a friend. So far, we've only had one instance where a dog bolted out of its garage & appeared to want to play. But Jude was having none of it. However, when we go on walks, Jude "tracks" and will get on the scent of another dog and bark/howl the whole…

One hour of Zumba on Tuesday nights. I was bowling for 1.5 hours every Thursday night, but the season ended (I'll take it back up again in the Fall). I will be starting softball soon (whenever it decides to stop snowing in MN!!!). So, that will be probably 1.5 hours of practice a week, as well as double-header games every…

My disdain of water stems from attending Basic Training in the Air Force. We were required to drink 3 8oz glasses of water with each meal (lukewarm water at that). Ever since then, if I don't need to drink water, I won't. However, I know that it's the best thing for me, so I'm trying to incorporate it into my eating habits…

I don't log "normal" walking during the day (anything other than walking the dog, or going for a walk with a friend or family member). However, housework I will log depending on the activity level. If I work up a sweat spending 30 minutes cleaning the bathroom because I've neglected it for awhile (scrubbing, sweeping,…

I have my ears pierced (1 in each in the lobes - normal) and have a tattoo in the future (I just need to get over my fear of needles!). Now I do have a question: what is the significance/reasoning behind stretching your earlobes & making big holes in them? The sight of them freaks me out, so I want to know why people do…

O...MG.... ^^THIS!!^^ Many a times I've gotten up in the middle of the day and ate without even realizing it. I worked the overnight shift for 14 years (I'm a 911 dispatch supervisor). Finally got off that shift 2 years ago and never looked back!

I saw the topic of this post and I was thinking "WTF is/are bewbs?" Then I read your post and relized - BOOBS! :laugh:

My family likes to eat out at Applebee's on Monday's for their half-priced appetizers and $5 burgers. My favorites are the Cowboy burger and the Cheddar Cheese Burger. Substitute vegetables in place of the french fries and take half of the burger home with you for lunch the next day and you have a nice dinner! We also like…

Seriously?! I need to go back and amend my workout diary then! :bigsmile:

Mainly because I was going through Basic Training in San Antonio, Texas during March-May. It's hot & the TI's didn't want us passing out from dehydration. Also, those of us on the "Chunky Monkey" program (which included me) had to watch everything we ate because we couldn't go past a certain weight depending on our height…

I've always wondered why they put both unpopped and popped information on a bag of popcorn. I've thought to myself "Do people actually eat unpopped popcorn?" Or is there something I'm missing? :ohwell:

^^This!^^ :happy:
