I just printed off some salad dressing recipes from Gina's SkinnyTaste site. I made buttermilk ranch dressing, and I have to find some tomatillos to make the cilantro dressing with it. And my picky eater husband LOVES the ranch dressing! :)

"I Wanna Grow Old With You" by Adam Sandler. For real. Not joking. The hubby didn't want a song longer than 2 minutes because he hates dancing :) LOL

I weighed in for the last time last night, just to get my start weight.... and all day today... after getting out of the shower, while getting ready for work, while brushing teeth.... that d@mn scale was calling my name. I flipped it off. It felt amazing :)

Amen!!!! You can't just cut out the "good" stuff forever! That makes your body quietly resent you. And when you finally do get to treat yourself, you over indulge. I still go to Wendys, McDonalds, etc. But I get the salads, and save 300+ calories doing so by not getting the fatty meals. So, I'm not depriving myself at all.

:noway: There goes all of my plans for weight loss this month...... Nutella is my DOWNFALL!!!!!!

I would LOVE to see Myles Kennedy live with Alter Bridge. I missed them at the local radio station's fest this past year, and I've always had a thing for his pipes :) Plus, I would give a stranger's right testicle to see Faith No More. Mmmmmm Mike Patton..... Just to hear him sing "Midlife Crisis" live... that'd make my…

My favorite band is Dream Theater, and I got to see them before Mike Portnoy left the band to tour with A7X. That was an AMAZING show, especially when they actually played my favorite DT song, "Home." My first ever "real" concert was Bush and Veruca Salt when I was 13. That was also the first time I ever smelled pot :)…

yum!!!!!!! I used almost the same recipe from Gina's Skinnytaste.com (I added a can of tomato paste, and some V8 for some more liquid), and I used cooked, canned chicken instead of the beef. I brought it into the Halloween Carry in here at work on Friday, and it was GONE. I even doubled the batch! :) Serve it with some…

I swear my scale secretly hates me. I accidentally dropped a bottle of body wash on it, and every time I get on it, it gives me a different weight, no matter if I just weighed myself 10 seconds ago, or 10 minutes ago. However, if my hubby weighs in,... it's constant. Stupid..... &@*#&*#..... ugh. Yeah, it'll feel good to…

So are we using this post as our "OMFG I WANNA CHECK THE SCALE SO BAD!!!!!" type of treatment? :) LOL And... I confess... I got on the scale before bed last night (at 4am) to do my final check in before December 1st. Did anyone else?

I'll join, only if I can check the scale on the 27th, because it's my birthday :)

I'm starting tonight after work! :)

What about to quote "To Catch A Predator": "How old is so-and-so?" "She said she was 18." "Are you sure?" "yup" "I have the transcript right here...." "ooooooh..... well, maybe she was 13...."

You've never heard some foreign visitors speak to their friends/family in their native tongue, and when someone asks them a valid question, like, "Excuse me, do you know what time it is?", they always come back with, "I don't speak English," with a perfect English pronunciation, and then turn to their friends/family, and…

I don't speak-a de English.

If I went there, I would get a nice salad with lite/fat free dressing, and split an order of the cheese sticks. But that's just me :) It's one of my favorite places! LOVE Friendlys!

I've always thought 15 minutes here and there is better than none at all. My body still thanks me just the same as if I did 30 minutes all at once!

Anything mexican, italian, or the "comfort foods" that you'd have on a chilly, winter's weekend.... aka, lasagna, pot roast, thick macaroni and cheese, etc.

A great suggestion is to start out at the losing the minimum pounds per week that your profile will let you... (I believe it's .5lbs). You get more calories, so you don't feel like your starving so much, plus your body has time to adjust. and gradually... maybe every week or two, take it down another step to 1lb a week…

Here you go! :) http://www.daytondailynews.com/news/dayton-news/strange-clouds-cause-a-stir-1271026.html

In the way I've seen it, I have a few friends who use technology, aka, iPads, ipods, TVs, video game consoles, etc as babysitters. They'd rather not work with their children on things they need to learn, so they rely on the games and technology to take care of that for them. Plus, one of my top three pet peeves is going…

I have my husband's old band's logo tattooed on me, the Dream Theater logo tattooed on my upper back, and I have a "love of music" heart tattoo where the bass clef and the treble clef are intertwined into a heart. I'd say I love it :)

Some of my favorite toppings on a salad, thanks to Spinozas Restaurant, is a Raspberry Walnut vinaigrette, goat cheese, dried cranberries, and chopped walnuts. So light, tasty, and refreshing!!!

What grade of milk do you use, Kaveman? 2%? Skim?

Whole wheat pasta, with some olive oil, some I Can't Believe It's not Butter spray, and some parmesan cheese sprinkled on it.

Done! :) I'll be the "negative towards the Jersey Shore" results :)

I had this same thing happen to me! I was 186 on Friday, I was 197 on Sunday (WTF, right???), and now, I'm down to 194. Not sure that I really ate stuff that was that high in sodium, but maybe I didn't drink enough water? I was sure I did! I'm also very bloated and icky feeling, as well!!!!

This is what I like to go by, considering I'm having issues with my weight not going down (going up, and eating the same as before, actually...) but I'm down a clothing size in shirts and pants, and I could go down in my bra...so not sure why the scale is going up... I'm not working out, so that's not it! LOL

I get so frustrated when I hear those "You can't eat after 8pm!!!" sayings. First off, my day doesn't start until 12pm, and I got to bed around 5 or 6am, if I'm lucky. So, I'm going to eat after 7, or 8 or 9..... And I normally eat right before I go to bed anyways. As long as you don't eat anything that makes you feel like…

I call those "treat meals." I try to limit to one a day, if I HAVE to. For example, I work nights, and I can't exactly come home at 4am and cook a full meal for myself, so I usually keep a small stash of the Michelina's lean gourmet (buffalo chicken snackers, FTW!!!!), and I make a package of those, for 200 calories. It's…
