Hope you are holding on to those loose underwear while you are dancing! :)

One of my favorite songs - still hear it pretty often on the throwback rap station. On topic - had a bad day the other day - frustrated with work/traffic/kids - got out the bag of chips and the Costco-sized jar of salsa and just ate. I estimated it later at 1000+ calories. Yikes. Still on track otherwise for 1lb a week.…

I love that you put identity blocking sunglasses on the horse!

almost exactly what I do! I try to push lunch to 1:00 pm or so and then dinner around 6:00. If I have some exercise calories to eat back, I try to have around 900-1000 for dinner.

Seriously - this makes me ridiculously happy to see this. It was my first thought after the first post and was so excited to see what's happened in the year or so since the last update! ETA - how do you only walk uphill? Do you mean on a treadmill?

Pizza Talenti Belgian chocolate gelato ripple potato chips and sour cream/onion dip cheddar cheese milk chocolate In my college cafeteria when it was chips and dip day, they just had bins of chips and dip and you could take whatever you wanted. I would cover my plate with chips, and then get a soup bowl and fill it with…

not to derail - my brother used to come home, slam his bedroom door, and listen to this on repeat. Is it "Institutionalized"? or am I remembering wrong? ETA: he turned out just fine :) On topic, I manage to fit coffee, water, AND diet coke all into my day. I agree with the diet pepsi - never have liked it and like it even…

Saw a bunch of school kids out on a picnic during my lunchtime walk. One (extremely large) boy was eating a cup of chocolate pudding with a slice of bacon as his spoon and bragging to all the other (smaller) boys about how good it was. They all sat there with their apples and bananas and watched with mixed disgust and…

I just did also. Yuck. The quote that came up with the picture is "this must be a food you like because you grow up eating it."

In for science.

I had mine out laproscopically on a Friday and was back at work on Monday. Unless there are complications, it's usually done on an outpatient basis (don't stay overnight in the hospital).

an ex taught me the "pound sand" expression. It was the best thing to come out of that relationship. I say it (or think it at people) all the time. Unsolicited advice regarding my life often gets leads to a "pound sand" comment.

Funny how something that is "a defined disorder" (PMDD) is defined as a subset of something that does not exist (PMS). Seems fishy.

DUNE! When we were kids and read all six books, my brother used to try to cultivate "the voice" to get my sister and I to do things.

What I want to know is what the winner boy ate? Did you try to estimate his calories? ETA: I used to go there with my fellow impoverished grad students. We could eat a day or twos' worth of food in one sitting. Good times.

I would suggest building in a little more slush into the schedule. It seems so tight that a few minutes extra at any stage would mess up the rest of the day and feel like failure. We have a rule of thumb here at work that I try to incorporate into life too...take any estimate of how long something is going to take and…

My roommate did the "Chips Ahoy diet". She made it up herself (obviously). She was trying to lose weight for her wedding, so for 1 whole month she ONLY ate Chips Ahoy chocolate chip cookies. Her rule was that she could eat as many as she wanted, but nothing else. I think she lost 15-20 pounds in that month. Finally she…

I am a single mom of b/g 6 year old twins. The first year was spent in survival mode haze. Now that they are 6 I am finally getting my act together (sort of). I miss the person I used to be.

Electric word life - it means forever and that's a mighty long time. I live in Mpls and met Prince once back in the late 80s. I am 6'1" and man was he short. So sad to hear he's gone.

My 6 year old twins have once a week homework. 3 sheets of reading and math. The reason for having homework in kindergarten is to prep for the NIGHTLY homework that will come in first grade. Granted - we're in an extremely high-achieving district heading for their top performing elementary school. Sometimes I get the…

24 - done with grad school, had a job finally making some $, great boyfriend, in amazing shape as a distance swimmer. I wish I had realized it at the time.

my dogs are looking at me as if I've lost my mind I'm laughing so hard.

Minneapolis, MN

I'm 6'1" also

This thread pretty much has it all. Only thing missing is the "you are working out now and muscle weighs more than fat" argument.

42 pounds as of this morning. Haven't seen below 200 since I got pregnant with twins 7 years ago. Heading out now for a lunch walk as it finally got nice here in MN.

Actuary

Seriously - lose 12 quick pounds and dump him.

I've done the meds for IVF, and they didn't make me gain weight. On the other hand, I was so stressed out that I probably wasn't eating normally either and I was running a lot of miles.

Instead of one (or two) maturing in a month, the meds make hopefully a few mature simultaneously.
