Hooray for you!!! Congrats!!!

Hokay, I wasn't going to pull this one out...But... I had lunch with Cindy McCain a few years ago and I was very unclear of her and her husband's views on things. She was very soft spoken and I couldn't at that time figure out her interest in the military. We talked about the heavy deployments and the stress on families.…

Have you read, "Lincoln on Leadership?" It might be an interesting eye opener. Another interesting read would be to look into John Adams. Wow.

Welcome to MFP and congrats on your progress thus far! :flowerforyou:

YEY!!! You can do it! I can't wait to hear the update!

I have no interest in this item but I'll give it a try... How about: 1/2 scoop of fat free sugar free low calorie vanilla yogurt 2/3 serving of a brownie made with applesauce and egg whites 1/2 tablespoon of crumbled almonds 1/2 tablespoon of heated Hershey's chocolate syrup 1/2 teaspoon of heated caramel ice cream topping…

That's what I was going to say... Ditto girlie!!

So eat...or half, and go workout. Why not??? I don't see a problem with it. I've lost my weight by eating things I love AND keeping a good healthy balance of other foods. I don't eat like a PIGGY. I just control myself and not starve myself to eat things. Eat it...Work out...Drink water...Move on. .

I'm going to print this list out and just put it in my purse to read along the way. I love the list with some new ideas, some no duh...But thought I'd share! http://www.smallstep.gov/take_small_steps_today.html

I must have missed posts on this...why are you taking this?

My biggest problem... The items my family bring into the house. Ahem... But at least things don't "call to me" all day anymore. I love having more control over my foods. I love it.

I found it Tam.... I think this baby had about 3500 calories...DH brought this home to surprise me! I hadn't eaten a treat in weeks so I ate it just thinking we would have to figure out how to burn 1000 calories between the two of us. Boy was I surprised. We shared it (thank goodness)... And then we ran and burned until we…

Hokay I finally found the book I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE to use with my kids! It is called, "Favorite Brand Name Silly Snacks." It has all sorts of fun snacks and meals to make for kids. Like a sloppy joe sandwich on a cut out hot dog bun, and it looks like a car. A soup with a pig made of dough on top cooked in a coffee mug.…

I cook two things in my house... Take it or Leave it. Yes, I'm mean...but it works. lol I have an 11 year old son and a 6 year old daughter. They will now eat anything from sushi to pizza, and every country in-between. Some days were a struggle, but now I know that they are getting all their food groups. I do get creative…

I think I'm having flashbacks of that brownie from TGIF's again...LOL Ya, but I still ate it... And it was spectacular!!!

YOU ROCK!!! YEY YOU!!! Keep up the fantabulous work!

Welcome Melissa! You will love it here! I use to eat when I was bored...Now I try to go workout...or at the least, go outside with a glass of water and start weeding the garden or something. Good luck girlie! You can do it! :flowerforyou: <~~~ From my garden...of course! LOL .

Okay, that is weird...I must have deleted the rest here...I did put a "LOL" here...So... LOL There.... :flowerforyou:

I still need to read what you typed in about Wikipedia... But you do know that "wiki" is open based online editing...meaning any user can go through and edit the content entered there. I could go under the word "butter" and I can put in "another thing Fabio is famous for faking." After typing I could submit information for…

I wish I felt better about my weight loss. I see that my clothes are too big, but I still feel like a tubby Mom. I think I expected to be at a "wow!" point when I got to 25 pounds lost. I just kind of look at myself and wonder why I still feel tubby. I hate that...I'm happy, but ummm...I guess I thought others would notice…

I have no clue what to say...I'm speechless (for once). Ummm... My heart aches for you and your family. Please know we care and thank you for sharing what you are up to lately. "Talking/typing" about it should help...not fix...but hopefully give you a new lease on things. Stay on your path, and throw yourself into working…

YEY YOU!!! Welcome back girlie! Your progress is great thus far! Hooray!

Hoooooray for you!!! There are some great links on the running threads. Good luck on your adventure and let us know how it goes. YEY YOU!

I think it is smart to make sure you know what is most important to you and then decide your vote. For my family, as I said, we are military. I have friends who are POW's and so the views of a candidate coming from a military background are important to me. That is why McCain is my choice. I voted for Bush, I voted for…

LOL Ya, I have zero interest in a debate right now...But I do love hearing new ideas. I want someone to say...I like this candidate because.... And then actually back it up with something. Ya know? I never hear that. I just hear people say one of the other without back up. I had someone tell me they wanted to vote for…

Do you and your husband keep up on Obama's views on where he wants the military go go in the next few years? And where is his patriotism? Have you read the information on his "patriotic views." I'm not debating at all, but I seem to not see anyone (here there or otherwise) on people giving me reasons to vote for or against…

What do you have against both of them? I see lots of opinions but as far as why??? I'd love to hear someone doing some McCain vs. Obama. Anyone?

Exactly...I'd love to hear someone who has read about his upbringing tell me what is drawing them to this person as their candidate of choice. Seriously...not about his love for his mother, but his beliefs. I'd love to know. Anyone?

I think America is asking for problems if McCain is not voted for president. My husband is military and I am not good at bashing opinions. But read up on the candidates. Pick your priorities and make a smart choice. There is nothing worse than voting for someone because you think it is the "in" choice.

I don't have any studies to back this up either...But going from friends I have known...I have seen several families who have been broken up by "the girls." I think it gives women a kind of "self-esteem" or "hottie" feelings they haven't had in the confidence department. Several of them have had good men, some rotten…
