There is unrest in the forest. There is trouble with the trees.

Oh. I totally expected something else. Nevermind. All is well. Carry on. >backs away quietly<

+1, me too!

+1 for beards

OP, I feel the same way. I want to add weights to my squats, but I'm not even there! Thought I was ready, but found out my form was way off & I wasn't going low enough. @AllanMisner , what a thoughtful comment.

This is what I love about MFP! You know Zombieland and you're using the kettle balls.

I understand completely. With my new job came a longer commute. Agree with @jonathansilas1984, I use crock pot just about once a week. This week was pinto beans. I had three lunches out of that. Bought two lbs. of carrots, peeled those and put in Tupperware & covered with water, kept refrigerated. They stay fresh that way…

I think what you're saying is that you feel like with your new weight loss, your face has aged ahead of you? But this: ... always felt that her only physical asset was the face makes me think that in the past your only value was your face. Ouch. As someone who has always had dark circles under the eye (make-up counter…

You look great. No foolin'!

Impressive & nicely done. I'd say "keep up the good work", but you obviously already are!

You really do have some gems in here.

Part A. Peep cleanse. Part B. Waste. You crap me up. Confession: In my head @tincanonastring‌ 's real name is "Tim". Full Name: Tim Canon, A String. Like Matt Saracen, QB 1.

Chobani 100 cal greek yogurt. And peanut butter. So much PB. My husband had words with me because we had three jars in the house. One open, one on deck, and one other-nut butter. Really? I should have had FOUR. He's silly.

Nope. I suspect it was the urban lore of fraternity initiations. And, you know, easy to draw.

Confession: My parents would by me the box of crayons with 64 colors inside and the sharpener in the back. Sometimes I would draw vomit. I always drew a goldfish in it.

hahahahaha. It was newspaper! And no, neither parent had pets, and we never did, either. Later, as an adult, I was telling my cousin about it, and he had exactly the same reaction as you. Just bust a gut laughing that my parents put down newspaper for me. Good news is (see what I did there?), since we never had pets, I…

Growing up I was allergic to nylon. This meant I could never play on the floor. In order to hang out in the family room, my parents would put paper on the floor for me. Mom? Dad? Weren't the towels cotton?

I have to tell a terminally ill person that she doesn't actually have the life insurance coverage she thinks she has.

Sorry that happened. I have a good friend who has lost a buncha weight and a mutual acquaintance would tell me on the side "she's too thin". Totally uncalled for. My friend did look different and much, much slimmer. I think that we all so accustomed to someone looking bigger and plumper. When a weight loss is that…

Ooo! Ooo! Put me on the distribution list, too, please!

+1 I didn't know until a friend told me a few years back that most people go every day. Mind blown. OP, I struggle(d) with this, too. Since you don't like cereal and aren't a fan of yogurt (that brand which advertises as helping you get regular in 2 weeks really does work!), you may be interested in 'jump-starting' by…

Sometimes for weeks on end my lunch is a baked potato. I top with salsa. Depending on how ambitious I am in the morning, I may add a crumbled bacon slice, too.

Confession: My husband never washes his hair. He has full head of wavy hair, maybe 1.5 - 2 inches long. The only time it sees shampoo is when he gets it cut. What's that - once a month? every 6 weeks?? He rinses it in the shower, but no soap or shampoo.

I haven't weighed myself in almost 3 months.

How much salsa do you have left over? Marinate pork chops in the salsa in a shallow baking pan. Cook in oven at 325 for about 30 - 45 minutes depending on thickness of pork chops. I like to serve on bed of yellow rice, spooning the salsa "drippings" over top.

Thus putting the 'dead' in your deadlift?

When I pack a salad for lunch at work, it's really only lettuce. Rarely other ingredients are included, unless we have grape tomatoes. And I don't have any dressing in the work fridge, so I use a free packet of soy sauce from the grab bin in the lunchroom as salad dressing. Surprisingly tasty and gives nice salty flavor. I…

Same here. Everyday come back for all the updates.
