I came here hoping for a recipe that included these three things and got an old post. :mad:

I've had mine for about a year. I used to wear it in the shower all the time, but it started to get a little funky from the soap and such, plus it holds a bit of moisture in the little pocket that the flex doohicky goes in, so now I take it off for showers. I have gone to our local water park with it and it has always been…

Same here. With the weather change I've increased my activity level quite a bit, but no budge on the scale, so I call it a filthy name, get dressed and get a cup of coffee. I can't control what that little mechanical monster says, but I can continue on as I have been and change my focus to how often I have to pull up my…

If you have a local Ruby Tuesday's restaurant they have a very nice spaghetti squash marinara you can try. I think it's on the lunch menu, but don't quote me on that. I had the same reservations, since I LOVE pasta, but I really enjoyed this dish. I agree that it isn't pasta, but a very tasty alternative.

I worked in veterinary medicine for many years, and I second (third?) those who have mentioned switching to a high quality cat food, and incorporating (maybe switching completely) wet food. veterinarypartner.com is a great site we referred our patients to. It's parent site (VIN.com) is the site our vets used when they…

I had my BR surgery in 2003. At my largest I was wearing a 40DD, but having never been officially fitted for a bra I'm not sure I was wearing the correct size. At only 5'0 tall with narrow hips, plus wearing baggy tops to minimize the negative attention my chest always attracted, my breasts made me look so much heavier…

I worked in the veterinary field for many years as a vet tech, and doxies are notorious for having back problems due to their long body and short legs. It's important to keep them very lean. Extra weight on the spine can increase the likelihood of them having spinal problems. For now restrict his activity completely. In…

Bump, looks like I've got a new recipe to try! I was given a couple of these and I have never had them before. Thanks for the recipe!

Week 4 was a tough one. I remember having to slow down quite a bit to finish. Take it a little slower. Speed comes in time, but getting your breathing in order and building your stamina needs to happen first. I'm still slow as a turd, but I am getting faster every week!

You were definitely not wrong to want to put the dog in the backyard. That is only common sense! I worked as a veterinary technician for over 10 years for an emergency clinic. We had to deal with this all the time, and if the dog wasn't bleeding we didn't even let it in the hospital! Any treatment that needed to be done…

I use Rundouble. I tracks my course, pace, and calories burned. I play Pandora while I run and the voice just interrupts the music and tells me when it's time to run/walk. Plus it syncs to a website so when I upgraded my phone my stats transferred to my new phone. I wish it synced with MFP, but I guess you can't have…

I'm the same way about shopping. I only buy clothes when I have a specific purpose in mind. I think this is because I am so self conscious about how clothes fit (read how fat I look in them) that I avoid it at all costs. I can't wait for shopping to be fun! This made me think about the pants I wore to work today. They are…

When I was pregnant for my son my hands (and feet, but that's off topic) got quite swollen from water weight. Since I knew the puffiness would go down I didn't want to resize my rings I started wearing them as a necklace. I have a very pretty locket now, with pictures of my husband and son, that I put my rings on if I…

Lol, I guessed myself 22.5% bigger than the website reported. The part that made me (literally) LOL was "You are the perfect rectangle!" Just what every woman wants to hear!! Oh Joy! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

This article really irritated me this morning. This guy has made actual progress towards improving his health, and all they can see is how much he weighs.

Saw this in the news today. There may be hope for you!! http://news.msn.com/science-technology/scientists-working-towards-a-cure-for-cat-allergies

Love the kitties!!! I have 2 (both 10 yrs old) My fat b@strd is my profile pic. He's a bit of an a**hole, but we love him so he gets to stay. (I do question the manliness of his choice of literature though) My other cat is all black with bright green eyes. He is the nicest cat I have ever met and I worked in veterinary…

Hehe, I had this happen when my 19 year old niece came over for dinner one night. We had ordered pizza, and I had 2 slices and a beer (gasp!). Later I mentioned my weight loss efforts, and she was shocked. "But you just ate pizza!" she exclaimed, and I chuckled and said "yep, and I've lost 15 lbs so far!" I was most amused…

Week 5 is one of the toughest I think, but after week 5 something "clicked" for me and it all got a little easier. Good luck and don't give up!!!

"doubt!", "fear!","regret!", "CAKE!" :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I wish I could do this! I can't even sew a button on straight! Hmmm, maybe this could be a new goal for me. I like new goals! OP, get rid of them. Don't leave yourself the option of going back. Maybe take a few of the more worn out ones and make them into something useful, like a rag rug that reminds you how far you've…

Everyone gains/loses weight differently. I am definitely an apple shape. My belly is the first place to gain weight, and the last to drop it. My mom on the other hand is a pear shape and loses weight from her midsection quite easily, but her thighs and bum are the last to lose. It is just the way my body was made, and I…

Has anyone tried replacing the mayo with plain greek yogurt? I am making my Mom's chicken salad recipe for a shower I am throwing in August and I was considering making the swap. Maybe I'll do a test run and see how it turns out.

Yes! I don't think McD's is poison, and still eat it occasionally when I'm crunched for time, but if I am going to splurge on a meal I want it to be a real treat! There is a little greasy burger joint in my town that makes the best burgers!
-
What are you talking about! I can totally see the difference! I was thinking it looked like you had lost MORE than that! Great job!

"Girth" and "Filling" :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Thank you for the little bit of funny this morning!

Great job! Week 4 is tough. I did week 5 day 3 on friday. 20 minutes without stopping, for a total of 1.44 miles. My 1st mile I have ever run! I know what you mean about going so slow, but you are right, it isn't walking so it counts!!

Trust me, if I kick butt and do it I will definitely be bragging about it!!!! Thanks for the motivation!!! :flowerforyou:
