  • so sorry to burst the bubble... i just went to the website's blog and it was yesterday only! i was totally gonna buy an inspiration piece too!!
  • I thought you had to be 18 to be on here!
  • Why 201 million? Seems like a random number. But hubby and I have talked about it so much, so here goes... 1) pay off all debt, including our house 2) make repairs necessary to sell our house (even if it's at a loss) 3) build an "off the grid" dream home in Colorado and move 4) replace our gas-guzzlers with 1 eco-friendly…
  • I'm in the process of quitting. For me, cold turkey just doesn't work and my ob/gyn won't let me take any of the drugs. So, I'm portioning out my cigarettes. I used to be a pack a day girl, so the first thing I did was start removing 5 cigarettes from my pack in the morning and forcing myself to wait at least 1 hour…
  • As you burn more calories, your body needs more calories. Basically, MFP wants your daily calories to be "net" calories. Example: MFP sets your calorie goal at 1200 and you do no exercise that day. Your net calories are 1200. The next day your goal is 1200, but you burn off 300 through exercise. If you do not eat your…
  • VitaTops!!
  • My and hubby too!! And FYI... I almost pooped my pants when I saw your pic! You look exactly like an ex-best friend and sister-in-law. You even have the same name! I had to go to your profile page to check if you were her or not! You're not! LOL!

  • And FYI... from the Q&A section: "Customers who use as directed generally experience loss of 1-2 pounds per week, which can result in loss of 25 to 50 lbs in 6 months. More rapid weight loss is not expected, nor recommended." Ooooh, sounds like another lose weight fast diet scam. Hmm, MFP recommends losing no more than 1-2…
  • It doesn't claim to be a shortcut. What makes it a scam? It's a freaking nutritional supplement powder... probably not too different from the protein powders that lots of bodybuilders use. First ingredient listed on package is whey protein isolate.
  • http://www.chocmilkdiet.com/ It was developed by a clinical dietitian and has tons of great reviews from customers who have lost weight using it. It's not necessarily a meal replacement, although it can be for breakfast or lunch. The website says drinking a glass before dinner will help you to eat less, since the protein…
  • I live in NW Indiana and went grocery shopping last Friday and spent 20 minutes looking at canned tomatoes, trying to find ones with no added salt! Ended up buying none. Today I had to take hubby to Chicago for a dr appointment. I dropped him off and went "supplemental" grocery shopping instead of sitting in the waiting…
  • My in-laws!!!!! They always act really supportive to my face. But they have pulled my husband aside and brought up my weight to him. And yet every time we go to their house for a weekend, it's a constant barrage of "Do you want something to eat?" or "What can I make you?" or "Have some more!" This weekend, they came to our…
  • Unless that thing is adjustable, it's encouraging bad posture (look at how stooped over that little girl is) on top of starting them off way too early thinking about body image. My step-brother once made a comment to his 8-year old daughter that she was looking a little chubby and my step-mother, 2 step-sisters and I…
  • If you've only seen the movie "The Time Traveler's Wife," then you must, must, must read the book! Very confusing in the beginning (although if you've seen the movie, you'll know the premise already... hubby and I read it when it first came out and it took a good couple of chapters to get it). It's by Audrey Niffenegger.…
  • made it tonight with a few mods... forgot the salsa, used a can of corn instead of bag of frozen, used can of regular diced tomatoes (cuz i don't like rotel, only red gold for me!), but then threw in a small can of diced green chiles, added sliced black olives & 1/4 cup of taco seasoning. waited for hubby to taste it…
  • my future child
  • while true that alli can make you poop more, if you follow their guidelines, you don't have that problem. you have to be very vigilant regarding fat intake to avoid the "anal leakage" issue. they recommend that each meal not be more than 30% fat. just check out the food labels where they say "calories from fat" and do the…
  • check out www.nutritiondata.com. they have info on tons of different foods and all have a pull-down menu that has lots of measurement options (including 1 ounce). then you can just do the math yourself.
  • I haven't figured out the pasting thing yet (lol), so... 1. soap 2. pads 3. an egg 4. condoms 5. blackhead 6. frozen veggies 7. a couch 8. experience 9. licks its crotch 10. fertility test 11. lighting fires 12. welcome home 13. baseball 14. vacation homework 15. red nose 16. vulture 17. socks 18. eraser
  • This is so true... I've seen and read studies done that prove it. It takes your body about 30 minutes to recognize eaten food, so pacing yourself and eating slower allows your body to trigger the "full" feeling. (Hubby and I argue about this all the time. I have always been a very slow eater/drinker. He wolfs down 2…
  • So colecting the sweat and hair of the person im jealous of wont help me be like them,damn does anyone need some sweat and hair? LMFAO!!
  • Early on after joining, I got my first friend request. I hemmed and hawed for a few days about my answer since we had absolutely nothing in common. Finally I decided to accept. The next morning I logged on to find my home page covered with updates about the zillions of friends they had added. I didn't hesitate to delete my…
  • I'm quitting too. However, I'm doing it a little differently. I've tried cold turkey so many times and it obviously never worked for me. So, I'm gradually cutting back my cigarette intake. I used to be a pack a day. I started out by forcing myself to wait at least 1 hour before lighting up (that got me to 3/4 of a pack).…
  • Good, quality fish is key. The older it is, the "fishier" it is. Look for recipes that have you cook the fish with other ingredients in a packet (parchment paper or aluminum foil) as that imparts a lot of additional flavor that can mask the fish taste. Italian dressing does wonders for fish when cooked in a packet. Start…
  • try out this website for verifying... www.nutritiondata.com
  • they sell a version of the green bags at menards. but they're yellow instead of green; called forever bags. watch their sale papers cuz they are discounted frequently and often have rebates offered on them too. put produce in as soon as you bring it home from grocery store. squeeze as much air out as possible and twist tie…
