I was going to say 15 pounds for me. By numbers would be 2 sizes, but by actual clothing options one "dress size".

I found this on another thread & saved it to try later. They looked really tasty. You may want to try the "search" feature for more ideas. 15 calorie Zucchini Tots Ingredients: Squash - Zucchini, includes skin, raw, 1 cup, chopped Onions - Raw, 1/4 cup, chopped Parmesean Cheese Grated - 1/4 cup Panko Bread Crumbs- 1/4 cup…

When I worked crazy shifts (including 7PM - 7AM) I handled this problem by deciding for my day to always run from 12:01 through Midnight the next night. I don't know how flexible your break times are, but I was able to schedule mine very loosely. I would pack several 200 calorie snacks/meals and I would eat every 3 hours…

I think it makes for a great sieve. If you have this as the first sentence in your profile, I quit reading. You are not worthy of my friendship. If you are too lazy &/or important to read my profile, then I can't be bothered with reading yours. Any friend request I get, I take the time to read their profile & usually can…

I just read a post suggesting a beet & white bean hummas featured on Weelicious. It's more pink than red, but it might work well for you. http://weelicious.com/2009/06/08/red-beet-white-bean-hummus/

I just ate my first RAW beet, ever. I have always loved canned or picked beets. So I bought some fresh beets the other day. For lunch I just chopped one into bite-sized cubes and tossed it with lettuce, onions, cucumbers & mushrooms. Topped it off with balsalmic vinegar. I am in love with fresh beets now & can't wait to…

Honesty is NOT the best policy!

Back seat driver here.

Having been in graduate school for the past three years, I have not read much fiction. Though I did sneak "The Help" in & loved it. My first book post-graduation was "50 Shades of Gray". Which I thoroughly hated! Now reading "The Innocent" by David Baldacci & really enjoying it. Janet Evanovich Stephanie Plum series was…

Perhaps we should just kill all stupid people. Because, let's face it, they are the only ones who get caught. Just ask my ex-husband. Oh wait, you can't ask him because he mysteriously disappeared 12 years ago.

I'll be your friend. We can all gang up against him, if you'd like.

You can do this! Add me as a friend if you'd like.

Then: Stewardess (that's what Flight Attendants were called back then & it seemed really glamorous to me) Now: Nurse Practitioner

ditto

They stopped teaching it years ago in our schools & I didn't think much about it until now. My 16 year old "signs" his name by "printing really sloppy" according to him. His new problem is his inability to read cursive writing. He is doing courthouse research - looking at old deeds (working w/ land surveyor) and is having…

Other people's ill-mannered pets. I don't want your animal on my lap or sniffing my hoo-ha. Then I hate myself for saying, "It's okay, I don't mind."

I've got them & I've always had them (fat or skinny). Funny that you think they are cute - I have always hated them & thought they accentuated my fat behind! Face dimples (especially chin dimples on men) are way cuter!

I have chosen to continue to have alcohol on occasion & I think it is slowing my weight loss. However, this is not a race, it's intended to be a lifestyle. I feel that I need to learn how to continue enjoying life - which includes dessert & alcohol occasionally. I don't want to deprive myself in order to drop the weight…

I have been guilty of this in the past. Especially since I really hate to waste food (remember all those starving children in third-world countries?). What I do now is save the leftovers (not things partially eaten or slobbered on), put them in the refrigerator & if they aren't eaten in 3 days, I throw them out. Sometimes…

I can feel your pain. I was trying to hold out for rich man for my second husband. Sometimes you have to settle. At least I found one willing to put me back through school so I could make a lot of money for myself. Maybe you can meet a nice girl who will teach you to knit. Lots of together time & no nasty knitting curse.…

"Game Informer" for the kids. "Garden & Gun" for my husband. "Virginia Living" for me.

Just remember "you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think." This too shall pass. My kids are so lucky because I don't like ice cream at all.

I am in south-western VA & that storm blew through here earlier - very scary. Luckily no major damage & it cleared up in time for my son's first prom tonight - we even have a beautiful rainbow and sunset.

I don't want to sound harsh. But it seems like you could use some professional help. Perhaps you have some unresolved psychological issues that need to be addressed first. Poor body image and low self esteem may be your primary problems.

I've been a nurse for over 20 years & would like to friend other nurses at MFP.

I've been an RN for over 20 years. I've worked med/surg, OR, PACU, management, education, quality improvement, long term care, and psych. Currently working on MSN for Nurse Practitioner. So many years of shift work & eating on the run have been hard on my figure. Would like to network with other nurses trying to get…

Nursing has been very good to me. After dropping out of college, I went to LPN school, then got an Associates degree in nursing, Bachelor's degree in nursing & now I am working on my Masters to become a Nurse Practitioner. There are many routes to becoming a nurse if that is what you want to do. Check out technical…
