I'm also reading that book, very interesting read:wink: "Herzog" Saul Bellow "Strangers on a Train" Patricia Highsmith "Fragile Things" Neil Gaiman "the Small-Mart Revolution" Micheal Shuman

dad: how to properly lift heavy weights, he was a bodybuilder before he had kids. how to change the oil in my car and change a flat tire. mom: how to make guest feel welcome in your home, to give back to those in need. how to walk in high heels(this isn't ever used but when I was able to wear them it came in handy) and how…

Holy cow, i would be starving if I ate what you ate. Do not fear carbs or fat, and protein alone will not solve all of your problems. I say diversify your diet. Eat whole eggs they are delicious. Add veggies and beans in there as well.

I was wondering what those were..They totally disgusted me, I thought they were the nastiest looking sausages. Thanks for clearing that up

5'2" 149# normally 1800-2000/day. I exercise (cardio and strength train) 6x/wk.

I can't offer much help in the sweets department but in the soda department I have an idea that has helped many people. To get off the soda kick gradually water down your soda with plain soda water. You still get the bubbly feeling and the taste. Slowly add more and more soda water to help you kick the soda habit. Also you…

I read face fat and just giggled. That is a funny combination of words that doesn't get said very often.

I'm in. You can put me in Hufflepuff

Ke$ha makes me work out harder. I will second the Pitbull suggestion as well. Basically anything that I normally don't listen too that is really fast paced helps get me through my workouts.

I'd get Jeni's Salty Caramel. The Black Coffee is good if you are really into coffee. The Brambleberry Crisp is quite tasty as well.

I live in Ohio now and I try to justify trips to Columbus where Jeni's is made. It was 9.99 about a year ago. In the fall I'm going to plan a trip down there and dry ice that stuff back home.

I weigh myself on Mondays after I finish my cardio at the YMCA. I do it on an old school scale, that I was convinced was broken last week when it didn't go down like I had planned. This week however it did go down and it was an awesome feeling. Oh and on the weeks where there is no change or worse it goes up, I just don't…

Try $10.99/pint. It's called Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream and the Salted Caramel flavor will drop you to the floor it is soo good. And they have awesome frozen yogurt and sorbets (Pear Reisling, oh yeah)

Uterus workout, hmm..I must have missed that on Pinterest's Health and Fitness Boards. I'm 28 married, and we just had to give up our pup when we moved out of state. But he is with loving grandparents who will spoil him rotten. Currently don't have any friends om MFP.

My husband and I spend normally $80-90 on groceries every week, including paper products, but not including wine or beer. I do shop around to see which stores in my area have the best sales each week. We're in NE Ohio so my main stores are Marc's, Giant Eagle, and Heinen's. Every week I sit with the sales papers for these…

I try to juice everyday not as a meal replacement but as a helpful way to get in all the vegetables I need for the day. I totally agree with your experience that they are quite energizing for about an hour but afterwards I am hungry, hence not using them as a meal replacement. Also I've found that it you load up your…

I just made a chocolate chia pudding for the first time earlier this week and it was awesome. It tasted like a dark chocolate version of a snak-pak (those refrigerated puddings). As for their health properties, I can't say but they do work well as an egg substitute. I agree, though that they can be quite expensive, I…
