  • I've actualy tried this particular dip, and didn't find it terribly offensive. I've had pretty good success with most of their dressings and dips, except dressings that claim to replace creamy type dressings - epic fail. I LOVE the Asian dressing - I use it for dressing and to saute chicken for salads or chicken tacos. Yes…

  • I've had the book for a couple of weeks, and my husband and I started yesterday. So far very easy to work with, and already seeing results (although that's probably a lot of just 'cleansing' effect of clean eating in general). If you start a group, shoot me an invite. By the way - I did his 48 minute workout (found in the…
  • That's one way of looking at it - BUT - the key is he's a good motivator, down-to-earth in the book - and makes it appealing. Don't knock the duded for living the American Dream.
  • A can't miss: (Special note - I make these at work so convenience has become necessary ... I use a Ninja blender) 2-3 cups of spinach - blend this up first 1 scoop of either Muscle Milk Light CAKE BATTER flavored protein powder - or Chocolate (I prefer the cake batter flavor, husband likes just plain Vanilla) 1 Tablespoon…
  • Yes, he has a right to his opinion, and his employer (in this case A&E network) has the right to terminate him for expressing an opinion they don't agree with. Simple as that. An employer exercising their rights. He could have said that he hated cats for all it matters, A&E didn't like it, it probably violated something in…
  • First Ammendment has nothing to do with what he said. First ammendment protects you from government punishment for speaking against the government - not from an employer firing you for an opinion that differs from their theirs.
  • Totally agree that it is the parents to blame. The comparison could be made ... if your DOG is fat, YOU need to exercise more ... same goes for kids. Unless your 5 year old is buying the groceries (assuming you buy groceries instead of eating at McDonald's every day) and the video games - who else would be to blame? I…
  • Mrs. Dash - I think there are 5 different varieties now.... and I love them all.... SALT FREE!
  • As far as I know visible tats are not against the rules here (major corporate office), BUT - I will tell you that I have never seen any manager, or above (director, vp, etc) with ANY visible piercing or tat. Right or wrong, I will tell you that while I support your right to pierce or tat any part of YOUR body you wish, I…
  • Try planting some peppers or even a roma tomato plant where you would plant a flower - they grow very easily and there isn't a lot of pressure of having to take care of them much, just some good watering or weeding. Planting some small marigolds in the same flower bed or pot will also help ward off some of the pests…
  • Diabetic (Type 2), Gardener, and loosing weight :) They are all connected! We started our small garden last year (around a 5x5ft square plot, plus flower beds re-purposed), BUT, with the horrible heat and drought we lost 99% of our produce to the varmints (groundhog, squirrels, raccoon, and even a poor hungry deer) ... and…
  • Very possibly the funniest post and follow-up comments I've ever read on mfp :heart: :laugh:

  • I use the HR Monitor that's with my Garmin 310XT for all of my workouts (except strength training) - I won the Garmin at a post-race event, so I was lucky. However, I also have the BodyMedia FIT - and wouldn't go without it for anything. I've been wearing it just over a year now, and have lost 42 pounds since first getting…

  • Yep, with a spoon - just like that. I LOVE cottage cheese - actually I like it way too much. Probably why I like Greek Yogurt too - I like the tang/salty taste.
  • Off to a great start this week - Sunday - 10 miles Monday - Weight Circuit Training, 30 minutes elliptical, 50 minute spin class
  • I use the BodyMedia FIT device - which isn't specifically a heart rate monitor, but when comparing the calorie burn data from BMF and my Garmin with HR Monitor, they are VERY close. BMFit device will provide you with more data than a HR Monitor could, and is intended to be worn 24 hours a day (except while…
  • you're in a tough position - like you said, technically it's family. Outside of taking to public notice of his shotty work, unless there was a contract you likely won't get anywhere, even if they took him to court (his word against theirs). Chalk it up to experience and move on. You may consider posting this in Craig's…
