What a great feeling and a great mindset. Congratulations!

Look at your collarbone and your lovely jawline and chin, not to mention your nice lean neck and that beautiful smile! Great work. :happy:

Welcome!

Dice it, sprinkle with a little lemon juice and a little salt and add to anything... salad, sandwich, eat with chips or pita, put it on your pasta, eat it with fish, or just eat it by itself! Avocados are the most wonderful thing in the world! If you just slice or smash, even without adding salsa or salt or anything, they…

What you eat may depend on whether or not you get stitches. Some surgeons leave the wound open and allow it to heal naturally, some stitch it up. If yours are left open, you'll be given a little syringe to irrigate them so that food particles don't get stuck in there. I went this route and was told to avoid things with…

The point of the article is that people think that if they drink diet soda, that it means they have a free ticket to eat other, unhealthy foods... not that the diet soda actually increases their weight gain (or, conversely, contributes to weight loss negatively or positively), "while diet soda doesn't cause obesity, people…

:smile: This was a fad diet that came out several years ago. Don't waste your time with it. There are several more effective ways to control your fertility than through your blood type. If you're interested in non-medical means (IVF, Clomid, etc.) try visiting a naturopath or homeopath to discuss alternatives such as herbs…

Don't know why, but MFP isn't currently giving me the option to edit the grammatical error in the message above. Anyways, should read, "... the idea that you haven't been exercising..." instead of hasn't. It's been bugging me! LOL

Even without tonsils, it still may be strep. Even without white spots, it still may be strep. Even if you don't have a fever, it still may be strep. Go to the doctor - the doctor won't be mad at you for coming in. :)

You can get B12 oral suspensions pretty much anywhere, even Target or the local grocery store. Some people claim they really make a difference. I haven't ever noticed a change when I take B12. The suspensions are taken sublingually (under your tongue) and are supposed to work faster than the pills, but most contain a bit…

Diet soda doesn't make you gain or lose weight... calorie consumption and exercise or lack thereof are the only two things that contribute to your weight gain or loss. If you want to quit diet soda because you want to eat more "cleanly," or because it causes other health issues for you, then those are good reasons. There…

People mistakenly think that diet soda is bad for you because they heard it once somewhere. The truth is that the only thing that has been proven about diet soda is that if you take it in conjunction with calcium, your body is able to absorb less of the calcium because of the carbonation in the beverage. Meaning that if,…

I had to tell you guys this just because it reminded me of the thread... So at my shop (I work in the car business), we have various parts delivery guys that come in and out every day. One of them wears this godawful cologne that lingers even after he leaves... it stings the nostrils. It bothers all of us, we cover our…

Well, this time of year (March/April) is really good for grapefruit, pineapple, oranges, and mango, as well as zucchini, artichokes, beets, and asparagus. You might even be able to catch strawberries or cherries, depending on how late you go. Collard greens are big in the south if you're willing to try them, and they're…

I find it interesting that tomatos are on the don't need to buy organic list. I always thought red fruits and vegetables carried the highest amount of pesticides because the color attracted so many insects. Perhaps it has to do with the inability of pesticides to permeate the skin of the tomato?

Nope, it makes you realistic! Collar bones are one of the most attractive features.

The naturally skinny girl orders twice as much food as you, and dessert. And then says, "I just don't know where I put it all!" Maybe you don't know where you put it, but I know where you can stuff it. :)

And, what part of the country are you going to? There are so many differences by region. And what's called Dreyer's here, is called Edy's a few states away, etc.

... the French guy who owns the bakery next to your usual lunch spot chases you down in the parking lot to give you free food because you "look like you could use a cookie."

I think this is a matter of personal opinion. :)

I love soy milk, almond milk, rice milk, etc. just be careful because a lot of them have TONS of added sugar to make them taste good. My favorite is the Soy Slender brand cappucino flavor. No added sugar, but there is artificial sweetener, and it tastes yummy. Edited: Apologies, the brand is West Soy and the product is…

I'm going with the "she meant it in a good way" excuse. I know I have done that before. Some girl will walk by and I'll whisper to my friend next to me, "Look at that hair," or "Oh my gosh, her legs." And I what I mean by that is that I am envious. I have hips... and a booty... and boobs... and I've had multiple women say…

You look marvelous! Who knew six months could make such an incredible difference? Amazing work!

Of course everyone is different, but I actually lost weight when I started on birth control. I have endometriosis so I am on it to control symptoms. I take Leena, it's a norethindrone/ethinyl estradiol tri-phasic. I do, however, notice that although I don't get "*****y," I'm much more emotional. Good luck!

You are so right, knowing is half the battle! LOL It's so nice to hear that I am not the only one who really struggles with Thursdays. I find my emotions are just a little more on edge, too. For instance, today a woman came in and asked if I had just had a baby. I politely said no and walked into the other room where some…

Could have been water weight lost through dehydration from the alcohol, which would explain why it came right back.

Good call! I like this idea.

I know it sucks to hear, but the scent thing is a big deal to me, too. I have to walk out of the house sometimes when my roommate just uses hairspray! It's horrible for her, but we've learned how to deal with it. She'll keep her door closed or warn me when she's getting ready or something so I can be prepared. I'm not…

Great feeling. Congratulations!

Do me a favor, don't wait until he "does something extreme"... What does he have to do to prove to you that he's dangerous? Hurt you? Guess what, then it's too late. At that point the damage will already be done, you will have been hurt, and those kids with that "great father" now have a "great father" that's in jail. I've…
