I generally take classes, so I listen to whatever the instructor is playing! When I'm on my own, I turn my iPod to 80's or 90's music. I gets me going and makes me remember my skinny days!

McDonald's sole reason for existence is to make money and these things help them do that. Its not their fault or the fault of any governing authority that these are available. Its up to the PARENT to say no to their child. Its really very simple - only one syllable. The obesity epidemic could easily be remedied if more…

I don't have anything specific in mind, but I know new (smaller) clothes will be needed and that's always fun!

I'm a way better spender, but I try to be a saver. The only way I can save for my son's college is to have his account in a different bank. And the only way to take money out of that account is to actually go to the bank. Lately, my splurge of choice is travel. :)

Hi everybody! I missed yesterday's question - oops! My dream vacation would be to spend a month in Italy and another month in Greece. I want to really experience the cultures there and don't think I can do that in only a week or so. I also would like to trace the trip Odysseus supposedly took on his return home from the…

I will have to respectfully disagree. We have become so politically correct in this country that you can't look at someone without fear of a lawsuit. I'm not saying that some limits are necessary, but the more rights we take away (in this case, freedom of speech) the more Orwellian we are becoming. We're not too far from…

that's a great motivator! and isn't if funny how one kind word can make our entire day? and she probably didn't even realize the compliment she was paying you! congratulations on your hard work and I hope your "female issue" gets resolved soon!

I think its great to help people -- who ASK for your help. As someone who has struggled with her weight all of her adult life, the last thing I want is unsolicited advice. If you really want to help people on here, be supportive of ANY measure they are taking to improve their health, even if it doesn't meet the standards…

What I think is interesting is that the 1st girl is supposed to represent the "fat" society, but in the still shot of the video she is about the same as the "fit" girl, just shorter. How then, can the writer claim that the "even skinnier coworker" made the right choice - all you can see of either of them is their shoulders…

OP, I think you're missing the sarcasm in the post you're "ditto-ing" If someone wearts a HRM made by Mickey Mouse and it tells them they burned a zillion calories by brushing their teeth - does it make your work out any less? Why do you care what other people do? Judge not lest ye be judged...I'm just sayin'

Growing up, my father was super strict and there was he!! to pay if chores weren't done on his timetable and in his way. But then he would turn around and be the most fun and silly person you'd ever met. He would tickle me until I almost wet my pants and held my hand at the very edge of the Grand Canyon ( in 1972 before…

Eurodriver says: "now yeah thats a tuff workout lol i use push mower too... but not enough turf to put in as exercise and thats what i meant if people can do more.. and readying from their dairies they can should do more ... if i mowed a lawn that size i would consider it as a good workout too!" "lmao i went to wild wings…

I'm Jacki screenname is JJTexasgirl my 7 week goal is to lose 15 lbs I haven't done a MFP challenge yet and think this will be a good way to stay motivated.

I recently bought a digital one at Walmart for less than $30. So far, it has been within 6 ounces of my doctor's scale. Its a Healthometer brand.

Friend request sent. I also see that you live in Round Rock. So do I! Maybe we could meet up to walk or what not. It would be nice to have a IRL person to help motivate me.

oh, great information! thank you! I hope to find other places closer to me, especially since my son is at his dad's for most of the summer. I don't want to cook for just me, but I don't want to eat fast food either. These places can make all the difference!

This is some of the funniest stuff I've read in a long time. However, farting is not something that should be done in a way that draws attention to it. To do so is just plain rude. I know there are times when it can't be stopped, but there are ways to make it quieter or ways to quickly excuse yourself and go in the other…

I wanted to know what all the hype was about too, so I bought some. I didn't like it at all, except for the texture. The flavor is just "off" to me.

:laugh:

I can't wait to lose my boobies (I'm a 40DD). The funny thing is that in high school I was a small B cup and always wished for big boobs! I guess its true when they say be careful what you wish for... I have lost 1 1/2 inch there so far and can't wait for more to GO!

I'm up for this - daily goals seem more doable to me than long term ones! 1. stay within calorie allowance 2. drink 8 glasses of water 3. eat more fruit

What is spaghetti squash?

16 year old student " There was this old guy in front of me this morning on my way to school" Me (the teacher) "How old was he?" Student " Really old, like 40 or something" Me (at age 44) *sigh*

OP wasn't asking for your tactless judgement nor your "holier than thou" attitude. As I am one to walk the walk, I won't judge you either and will just assume that your attempt at lighthearted humor was lost in the cyber translation.

My prayers and positive thoughts are with all those who are suffering from this storm.

Another high school English teacher (who just finished grading essays written by 10th graders) here. I have too many writing pet-peeves to list them all! Some that annoy me the most... god instead of God - its His name, kind of like Bob or Susie becuz - are we really too lazy to write in 2 more letters? (because = 7…

I got in 62, but the day got away from me. I'll get them in today though.

I'll give it a shot. And dang, that trainer has amazing arms!

Sadly, there is nothing you can do to change what your mother does. She's a grown woman and is capable of making her own decisions, even if they're very bad ones. From my totally unprofessional opinion, it sounds like she uses food as a salve for her emotional wounds. She's become addicted to the instant comfort the bread…
