I trick my brain at every opportunity. I especially use the smaller plate method, and the mini versions of chocolates and cookies. My brain is so gullible.

Yeah, I feel like being in shape is not an automatic thing because you're 'young' or something. You're right, you gotta start somewhere!

Vomiting. When I get nauseous to the point of possibly barfing, I'll have a panic attack. I stayed up for two days once because I was too terrified to go to sleep with the possibility of waking up barfing. I will do anything to avoid it, except I dry heave every morning when I brush my tongue after brushing my teeth. Weird.

LOUD NOISES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I cannot effing believe this is still here.

I like jokes. This is one, yes? FFS.

It's not practical in any way, but I keep gravitating toward being 50' tall. It would be cool...for like a day. So I guess *sigh* I'll go with 12". I'd rather just go to Hogwarts and learn magic.

And a really great ampersand melts my heart.

I really do love asterisks.

I haven't met my goal in a long time, so it's very nice to see others doing so well! Hopefully I can follow your lead and hit this month's goal! GREAT work, Laura!

Veganbaum, both o those chickpea recipes look divine! They're going in the 'box,' too!

I agree, you are special! I also thought Hayley's soup sounded delicious. I'm putting it in my 'recipe box.' :)

That broccoli slaw is kind of awesome, isn't it? That flavor of sauce sounds really good, too!

That is amazing! Hahaha! Oh, I love our geekiness. :)

And who held the gun to your head?

The part where he says he was wrong about his first book (that focused on calories in vs. calories out), and not just said 'here's a different approach that may work for some people' is a huge red flag for a scam to me. It's not to say it's unhealthy to do this diet, but misleading to say it spot reduces or that you can…

My mom's straight up disabled. She can barely walk from one end of her apartment to the other without loads of pain, and forget about standing still for any length of time. She's been losing weight slowly from diet alone, so yes, walking by itself can help her lose weight. You don't need to go crazy and be a gym rat to do…

Holy cow, this is embarassing. Where are all the competitive people?!

This is the new recipe I tried this week: http://www.thatssomichelle.com/2011/09/smoked-salmon-pizza.html It doesn't have a lot of substance, but Emily and I had it with some asparagus and it was very yummy! I cut the cream cheese to about 6 oz with the other 2 oz being Greek yogurt to thin it out. It worked nicely!

That's a good idea. It's always been tough to keep people around in Hufflepuff and especially Slytherin, though. It's a little frustrating for the people still really interested.

AND not quite as late, but still behind, MARCH WEEK 1 RESULTS for our House!: We haven't been very good at the losing, but I'm not as concerned with that. I'm much more concerned about keeping the participation up as much as possible so everyone's having fun! When you're having fun, it won't seem so much like work. I'm…

I'm late on this, too, but here's a reminder of this week's challenges: MARCH WEEK 3: (Starting after check-in between 3/9-3/12 and ending with check-in between 3/16-3/19) OWL (exercise): Leg Drop! http://www.goodhousekeeping.com/health/fitness/fitness-plan-two-weeks-oct06#slide-4 Each day you reach your daily goal you…

Bazinga!

I find it very strange that you would make that kind of assumption. It would never occur to me to assume someone just didn't log something only because it's not the same way I eat a food. Curiouser and curiouser.

OMG YOUR PERIOD! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! THAT IS UNREASONABLE. AS AN ADULT WOMAN HOW COULD YOU POSSIBLY DEAL WITH SUCH A HARDSHIP?! FFS. :flowerforyou:

Actually, Ken started it. He's lame. No, that's a lie.

I'm trying to remember before this, but I really don't. I remember pictures of things that happened, but not the actual memories. The earliest thing I remember is the night my dad left. It was after we went to bed and my parents were arguing. I snuck downstairs to see what the yelling was about and my dad walked out the…

I really dislike people losing weight must be hungry kinds of responses. I can see the merit in a joke situation, but I find it lame. You don't have to be hungry to lose weight. Sure, lots of people choose that route hoping it will get them where they want to be faster, but it's still a weak joke. Maybe I think that…

This is enough to make me love you back. Girls that whine that they can't find cute clothes in their size don't look hard enough or aren't creative enough, IMO.

It's always 4 weeks no matter when they fall so no one has to fuss with stuff like this :) Sorry I didn't see this sooner!
