Plain Greek yogurt, a little bit of bacon, green onion and chopped chipotle peppers.

Will you feel disappointed that you set a goal and didn't finish? If it's not challenging you the way you want to be challenged, not helping you attain your goals and interfering with your life and your happiness, then I would stop beating yourself up about it and go join the gym.

I didn't really do much, didn't have a huge dinner ever and sat alone on Christmas evening eating leftover Jimmy John's and drinking red wine while watching Sharknado. I gained/lost 0 pounds.

"Only I didn't say "Fudge." I said THE word, the big one, the queen-mother of dirty words, the "F-dash-dash-dash" word!"

Eat, drink and be merry :drinker: Also, trying to fill up my plate with mostly veggies seems to help a little. I don't go to a lot of parties though, so it's not as much of a concern for me as it would be more social people.

I appreciate that. I plan to start carrying post it notes (maybe just paper and super glue would be cheaper?) in my car so when people park sideways or over the lines in parking lots I can leave them a friendly note to let them know how much their parking skills are admired.

I am not a big fan of running but once I talk myself into it Um committed. In the gym I force myself to do leg curls. Still not really sure why.

I imagine it's pretty much like everything else in life. Some are willing to put forth the effort and work through hard times instead of throwing their hands up and quitting every time something doesn't go their way.

I approve of this thread. In for Holiday drink ideas!

I have never watched it. They are beautiful women that work hard for their bodies, I'm sure, but I draw my motivation from the desire to change myself, not look like someone else.

I politely say no thank you and carry on with my day. They all know I eat weird stuff and don't like sweets so it's not too much of a problem for me.

I have heard this from some people as well but it's easy enough to pull up videos of pregnant women to disprove the myth. I overheard an older guy telling a friend of mine that his aunt was picking up a heavy box and basically her uterus fell out. I fell over laughing and told him it just doesn't work that way.

I predict one of each. I know I haven't seen the scans, your wife, you, I'm not a doctor and don't play one on tv, but, since you asked, congrats. In other news, some people ask these kinds of questions on parenting websites....or their doctor's office.

As long as someone can still take care of their responsibilities and somewhat participate in every day life why does it matter how they choose to spend their time?

I got a set from Walmart that can be up to 20lbs each. They come with 4 2.5lb and 4 7.5 plastic sand filled weights and a fairly cheap plastic bar on which to attach them too. They are better than nothing and a good deal for the price. I have had them for 4 years and they still work fine even though the kids play with them…

I am pretty sure the divorce rates have been high for a long time. I remember it being 50% when I was a kid in the 80s. I do think it is much more socially acceptable to be divorced now than it was, but I think as a collective we are a lot more open minded about any kind of social or relationship status. Also, people in…

Yes. I love venison jerky. You just have to be careful to not over-dehydrate it. I have used a dehydrator and just done it in the oven low and slow.

I rarely watch tv and actually just cut my cable subscription down to local channels only. I watch Big Brother when it is on in the summer and Jeopardy when I can which is pretty much never lately. I watched season 1 of American Horror Story and the first couple seasons of Walking Dead. I haven't had free time since then.

Is your right hand bigger than your left? If so then I think maybe he did okay.

Apparently your assessment of their fitness level was incorrect.

They already watch Full House on their own and I told them we would look up some episodes of Fresh Prince this weekend when I'm not working. I'm probably a little too excited about this.

Maybe your following her around the church makes her uncomfortable. Sometimes people just don't like others. You don't have to be friends with every one. Realizing this and not taking it personally is part of being an adult.

I was just singing that in the car Monday night after my kids' wrestling practice! They looked at me like I was a freak but that's every day.

That just doesn't sound very appetizing. Why not just scramble some eggs in it or saute some veggies? My son sneaks bites of butter and it just grosses me out. He does the same thing with sour cream, too.

@HawleyGriffin I like your choices but I'm kind of feeling the Christmas Spirit. Twisted Sister https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzxLBdkN7OI

What do you have left over?

In comparison to what? I prefer to eat my veggies rather than drink them, but if it helps someone get their fruits and veggies in, more power to them.

I grew up with artificial trees. I think my dad maybe had a real one once. I have an artificial tree that someone gave me for free so I will use that until it falls apart.

When you log strength on MFP you will notice that it doesn't give you a calorie adjustment. This is because it is very hard to estimate calorie burns and probably not as high as you think. As long as what you are doing now is working (i.e you are losing at the indicated pace set in your goals) there is no real need to log…
