wow, great ideas/responses. thanks for that toocool site. too expensive for the commercial aspect, but really does give a nice idea of what a finished product could look like. thanks!!! I'll check out the other links soon

my boyfriend has a GARBAGE BAG full of old t-shirts he cannot part with. He's a runner. Ok. Great. I love that about him. but why he can't let go of the millions of shirts he has that have a running theme, I just don't get. But I'm accepting it (or trying). So. Most of these are t shirts with screenprint logos of races…

seriously. no coffee? could do it otherwise (although that glass of wine would be tempting) and officially I'd have already failed as i gave blood today and the lady gave my a glass of orange juice afterward, that I drank.. about half of. but... again.. can I say it.. no coffee???????? gotta be crazy. my whole week would…

Society. hmmmm. it is sad, I agree. WE will congratulate you for doing the RIGHT AND HEALTHY thing. The only time I got a lot of compliments on how "great" i looked was when I weighed about 119 and I'm 5'7. no, not a size 0, but a size 4, and I was ok with how I looked, but still felt a little too skinny and I know I must…

Push past the soreness? So, on Friday I started this challenge. So yes, week 1 day 1. I plan to do week 1 day 2 today. But I'm still sore. although a lot better than yesterday. Almost all of my soreness is just where my shoulder meets my chest/armpit. anyway. I think I can do today's routine, but then I was planning on…

I think it's okay. As long as it is in moderation. If you save 300 cal for a small dessert and glass of wine... no prob if you are neglecting to eat nutritious food and exercising like crazy so that you can save 800 cal for a decadent dessert... yes problem (unless it's a special event, anniversary, wedding, etc.. ) I…

oh I am so weak! I did knee pushups and still could only do 15 with my test :( I cannot do ONE real pushup. seriously. yikes! oh well, guess that's why we do the challenge, right? to improve! C

Wow you're looking great! keep up the FAB work!:noway:

Jar (I have no idea why.. psychoanalyze me!)

made this last night sooooo good as a side dish... Next time probably won't even bother to add the jack cheese on top, dont' think it was necessary. followed the recipe TO THE LETTER otherwise. and made with 1% milk with no problems. http://find.myrecipes.com/recipes/recipefinder.dyn?action=displayRecipe&recipe_id=1842378

Travel and heat. this summer, after mid July, was not very kind to my diet. hmph. I had been on MFP all spring and had lost 12lbs. well, stopped exercising when it got too hot to run outside without feeling miserable, and did quite a bit of traveling, wine tasting... you get the picture. Anyway, I gained 4lbs of the 12 I…

good luck!

additionally, from what I've been told (somehow the conversation came up between my mom and I some years ago, she mentioned that Mama Cass had tried this method). You don't feel satisfied unless you swallow. There is something psychological or physical about swallowing food that satisfies a hunger or a craving, the taste…

That's a huge accomplishment! Congratulations!

RN: Did Labor/Delivery for 3 years. Good job for anyone interested! I had to stop though, it wasn't fulfilling to me. I guess I'm an adrenaline junkie as my favorite things about the job were when I got to "catch" the baby because the doctor didn't make it on time, or when (and I don't know how to say this without sounding…

nasal

thanks for the suggestion! I dont' have any but maybe I can pick up some cheapos in FL, less to pack that way!

great! thanks! the polynesian resort sounds like a great idea.. will they let us on property if we aren't guests? I'll check out the allears site too!

we're really sticking to disney since we already have the tx and dont' have too many days. I dont' think we'll make any beaches or anything (unless we do it wed before the concert)

:) :smokin: Hey, everyone's invited!!! I just cant' foot the bill! :happy:

Any recommendations for taking on Disney world... as GROWN UPS?!?! NO kids!!! I've been to Disney World once, when I was 14, and had a lot of fun, I remember thinking Epcot would be cool if I was older.. dating, dancing, drinking..etc. And I've been to Disneyland a bazillion times, but always with a kiddo or two in tow.…

I dont' know if it is related to running, but running is my main form of exercise and I found weight loss very slow going. Some of it matters how much weight to lose and how much you are building muscle. I didn't have a ton to lose, was already in a normal BMI so.. my weight loss is slow. 7 lbs in 3 months. But, my legs…

I wouldnt' go. but I'm strange, as I'm an ER nurse and I tend to self-diagnose when maybe I shoudln't. If it was my boyfriend, I wouldn't tell him to go, until it got worse, or at the very least, didn't get better for a while. I would recommend you check your BP and pulse though. If you are hypertensive, then I would go to…

Why stress on special occasions? I agree it was insensitive for him to say "well if you knew you'd feel this way....." Men put their foot in their mouth a lot, and don't mean it in a negative way. My boyfriend has crushed me in the past with things he's said. And when I explain why they're hurtful, he understands, but he…

You dont' have enough to lose to see fast results when dieting "The right way". I struggle with this too. I'm 145 and 5'7" and started at 152#. The first 4 lbs took 2 MONTHS to come off, then I had a wtime where I lost 3 lbs in about 10 days, now I'm back to slow going (although I've been sick and also had a cheat weekend…

They should be fine! Now finding a reasonable place to store them for a few years, and hoping your taste doesn't change in the meantime would be more of a concern, IMO!
