The creepiest message I received was when we were still using Myspace lol! I received a message from someone I didn't recognize and he said that he still remembers me as a scared little 8th grader. I'm like what! This guy looked like 20 years older than me...then I realized it was my old band instructor lol! he grew his…

I second this!! Wonderful transformation!

What do you have your goals set as? Do you consider yourself sedentary or more active? If you said sedentary, MFP will factor that into your calories, but if you go the next level up MFP will factor that. I would say that if you're on your feet that many hours, you would be the level above sedentary (I think the example…

Ah! This is way too much pressure!!

I love sushi!! TNP loves the color green.

Silence of the Lambs...Buffalo Bill was abducting and murdering "bigger" women. But, like you I'm trying to figure out if the OP was serious or sarcastic. So hard to tell when you can't see the person's face as they respond to these things...

Great movie. I think of this quote every time I see a picture of Justin Bieber...sorry Bieber fans.

"You shut your mouth when you're talking to me!"

LOVE LOVE LOVE this movie!!

I'm not an expert, but maybe her body also gained the weight because it was such a jump in calories. For me, I was so used to eating more calories that 1250 would seem low to me, but for someone who's used to only eating around 700 calories then 1250 is going to seem like so much more to her body. Since her body was used…

Or even offer to cook dinner together and cook with ingredients you want in the dinner. I don't know you, but if you're going to simply ask your mom "hey what's for dinner" and then get upset because it's not what YOU wanted then that does make you come off as immature and ungrateful.

Water has helped me because years ago I wasn't consuming enough liquids throughout the day to keep me hydrated. I mean I would drink coffee in the morning, maybe coffee in the afternoon, maybe one or two cups of water, and maybe some iced tea when I got home. So it's not that I wasn't drinking enough water...I wasn't…

:laugh:

Do you like fish sticks? Do you like to put fish sticks in your mouth?

This is a possibility too...

When the hubby and I lived at our father-in-law's house, we had the same thing happen with my brother-in-law...grazed everything. I baked a cake for a coworker's birthday and I told the hubby if his brother ate any of that cake I might flip out. He wrapped the cake container with masking tape and wrote on it DO NOT…

Baby Einstein

I love baking but trying to cut back on the grocery budget so this recipe sounds great! It even requires less stuff than boxed mixes...score! Thanks for sharing.

:laugh: The video is hilarious too!

Wow amazing results!! I keep seeing the infomercial and I keep teetering between trying it and not trying it. I went on Amazon to look at reviews and overall it got excellent reviews, but a lot of people that gave it a low rating was either because they received a non-legit copy or because it was causing joint pain. I'm…

I used to do the same, but now I take certain things with a grain of salt. It can be confusing especially when one day they're shoving information at you claiming that it will increase your life and health, then the next day they say it causes cancer or isn't the right solution for long term goals. I noticed my mom is now…

I agree with this. I actually know someone who had his mind set on getting the surgery because he said nothing else worked. He was told that he didn't weigh enough to qualify for the surgery so he actually made it his mission to gain weight so he could get the surgery. That didn't make sense to me, but this was years ago…

I don't have any of my own to post yet, but I just wanted to say that these progress pictures are awesome!! :flowerforyou: Great job to all of you!!

Recently, I've been swapping out the yogurt for cottage cheese. It's less sugar which isn't the reason I started using it, but I didn't have yogurt one time to make my smoothie so I tried the cottage cheese since I had some on hand. It has a different taste, but I actually like it and have started using it on a regular…

That reminds me of the State Farm commercial where the guys are carrying groceries and sweating from the heat and the one starts talking about his car insurance policy and the other is like "wait you have a car..." lol! But I agree with the other posters that this is a great idea!! Best of luck to you :flowerforyou:

The hubby and I love roasted asparagus and if you get the thicker asparagus you'll still have some of the crunch left after you roast it. I love roasted veggies in general-if I make a pork loin I'll roast potatoes, onion, garlic, and butternut squash to go with it. You could try other veggies and prepare them the way you…

I was just going to ask if you suffer from allergies or might have a virus. I used to have asthma as a teenager-I've outgrown it now but when I get a virus or bad allergy I get winded just from going up the stairs and doing light chores. It's sometimes hard to judge because you want to keep at it, but if your body is going…
