  • while we're at it, I'd like to work Full-time hours, get paid all the benefits, but I'm only available from 9:30a.m. until 12noon. Please don't ever work me on a weekend and don't ask me to do anything I don't want to do!!
  • AMEN SISSSTA!
  • Wowzer- all these sizes and shapes ....I'm 5'0" and weigh 144.6 - and I'm wearing size 10/12 (US) pants still. Even at my very lightest, I wore a size 6/7 and weighed 130... I'm amazed at all the different ways we fit into our clothes!!:noway:
  • i might be brave enough now to run to walmart after work!
  • :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!
  • I'll take a coffee mug with your pic on it :wink:
  • Congratulations! What a wonderful NSV!! Hope you have a nice visit! :wink:
  • I haven't a clue how to calculate it in the recipe calculator....definately a quandry!! Although, I checked out that recipe - and I'm thinking the blueberry/molasses glaze would be delectable over some lean pork chops....So hungry now!! :smile:
  • wow! that's amazing! I'm scared of heights & your pics actually made me a little fearful!...Your wife must be one heck of a woman! Good luck scuba diving!
  • I DIDN'T SMOKE ANY CIGS YESTERDAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S 3 P.M. AND I HAVEN'T HAD ONE YET TODAY, EITHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • IMO- this is how I understand it.(I'm not a doctor!!) ...if your arteries are like the drains in your sink, the "bad cholesterol" is like taking the fat off your hamburger & pouring it down the drain. It's thick & heavy - and sticks to your pipes. The more this accumulates, the thicker the gunk inside gets, and can lead to…
  • I'm one of those girls who are naturally more "hairy" than others. I take a lot of time and effort waxing & shaving & taking care of myself. I also wear glasses because I NEED THEM! The other night, I was waxing my eyebrows and was going to use face bleach on my upper lip and chin while I was waxing...well, instead of…
  • It's WEDNESDAY -- GRIPE DAY :angry: and NO ONE ON HERE HAS POSTED ANYTHING!!! What a positive group of non-smokers we will all be!! LOL!!:flowerforyou:
  • Congrats on beginning this journey! I am also a mom of 2 kids (7 & 5)!!! FRIEND REQUEST SENT!
  • tuesday tips- I've heard (and tried) toothpicks. - NO CALORIES & you can play with them in your fingers & chew on them. I always stole a bunch of the mint flavored ones from the local perkins when I'd eat there. Today I've only had 2 cigs! YAY!
  • LOOK AT YOU!!! You have made such incredible progress & it shows! :wink:
  • :bigsmile: EPIC!!! HOW EXCITING!
  • Just like watching what we eat, you are doing great - think about how far you have come - and don't stress yourself out about smoking because you were stressed out - you may find yourself on a vicious cycle of stress smoking over stress smoking which will be counterproductive. YOU CAN DO IT! YOU ARE WORTH IT!! YOU ARE…
  • It's Monday - which is supposed to be "fact day." - my husband informed me this weekend that there are 4000+ chemicals in cigarettes & CARPET GLUE! gross! This weekend I started using the ecig - found a flavor I like & have 1 pack of cigs for the whole week - transition time has started! can't wait to see how it goes!
  • I am so excited for you!! what an amazing job~:flowerforyou:
  • First of all, TALK TO YOUR DR !! in the meantime, try smaller meals more frequently - hypoglycemia isn't something to mess around with, as I'm sure you know - so be careful, stay hydrated, and most importantly - get advice from your Dr. about maintaining a healthy diet while you are dealing with it! Good luck!
  • as a mom myself, I often find myself quoting my mother...as she did with her mother and so on and such forth. her favorite quotes were "I was not put on this earth to be your friend. I am your mother and it stays that way!" and "I'm running for the meanest mom on the block award & you are not gonna screw it up for me!" My…
  • thank you all for the advice & encouragement!! MFP is the best site on the web! You have inspired me to quit being an enabler & start holding my head up high while my feet stay cemented to the ground! I don't know where things will go - but I know I'm not going ANYWHERE away from MFP !! to all my "new friends" -- I am…

  • oops. duplicate post
  • I've heard it's good to try switching up your routine to break the cig/coffee habit. If you don't mind it, try hot tea instead of coffee, or if you drink your coffee with sugar/cream, switch to black, etc. My mom quit 20+ years ago and had to switch to tea in the a.m. to break the mental correlation between coffee and…
  • my mom sent me a msg on MFP about this group! I have been wanting to quit since I joined MFP - no sense in getting healthy if I'm just killing myself with cigarettes, right?!?! I have been "cutting back" and want to be completely smoke free by my Birthday, 9/11. My husband, a 2 pack a day smoker, just switched to an ecig &…
  • CONGRATS! how inspiring!:happy:
