it sounds wonderful! But somehow I need to forget that you told me that! :laugh: yes. Alcohol should be completely out of the question. BUT YOU ARE RIGHT - Alcohol should be off my list for more than just calories. - not only did I not care about how many calories I was consuming. I actually smoked about 3 cigars [I quit…

yes - it was a load of fun fun fun, but not easy to explain to my trainer why I had gained 5 lbs since Friday. .:drinker: The world looks quite a bit different after 1/2 a bottle of baileys - then after a full bottle I didn't even care that I was 50 lbs over weight. probably not the best solution to my weight issue..…

So for my BD celebration last week I had a 1/2 a bottle of Bailey's and 1/2 box of Cheezits. Friday night things were looking good, but today when I have to count the calories not so good. more like 3 million calories. FUN FUN FUN

HI-5 - and I worked out this AM.!!!! I was Sooooo proud of myself - till I ate a 6 cheese bagel at 6 AM. It will impact the rest of my food today I know it will! I promise myself to be healthy this year! Hey I'm only 53 guys!

thanks everyone. I went to the store [you know d##ks] a few weeks ago and was so totally overwhelmed with what I saw and the guy in the store was clueless as to the difference between them. AND the outside of the packaging is not that extensive - so I got really confused. This did give me some insight - will go back and…

ooooOOooOoo here is one my dad used to say.. I forgot.. "dumber than whale poop"

Where does one get a heart rate monitor? How do they work? How much to they cost? Which are the best?

oh my oh my that is too funny

that is too funny! the flying monkey one was too much I am laughing out loud.. hey!! it's working I'm laughing!!!!! here two I just remembered ... [to be said to a 3rd party while still within ear's shot of the person who was mean to you] "aren't you glad YOUR mamma didn't bring you up to be mean like him" or yet another…

This group is so creative - I'll bet we can come up with a boatload of these. I was trying to make myself laugh this AM by remembering gentle ways of saying that someone is a not so nice or different ways of saying that someone is not that bright. Here are the ones that I can remember. SOMEONE IS NOT SO NICE: - his/her…

I agree. Thanks for the idea - going to look up calorie counts on this now. Had not really thought about including Hummus AND is even easier to make.!!! here is what I do: DUMP THE FOLLOWING INGREDIENTS INTO A BLENDER. - 1 can chick peas [dump out about 1/2 the liquid from the can before] - 2-3 garlic cloves [I use 4-5…

OK call me ignorant but - Are there places where one cannot buy beer in a gas station? Wow I guess I need to pay more attention to the world around me! Not that buying a beer in a gas station is high on my list - but I was a bit surprised. I know in Ohio we have something that they don't have in Boston: drive thru places…

THAT IS MY BIGGEST HOPE. There is nothing worse than a tired grumpy person. I want to be a happy energetic person. sleep will help! can't even begin to express the difference in energy level today having exercised in the AM - not to mention my sense of 'fait acompli' with myself! ahhhhh . Fingers crossed that I'll make it…

I lived in the middle east for a while and use a recipe that I got from there to make a type of Yogurt dip/cheese spread. I have modified it for my diet too. It entails putting your yogurt thru a coffee filter to remove the excess liquid. [Much easier than it sounds]. You can then 're-hydrate' the filtered yogurt with…

This is so creative and funny, but I'm now going to have someone take a picture of my derrier as well! but I wouldn't be able to post it here in my cubicle - not enough space!!!!

NO Dear - God has bigger fish to fry than your poor brother [some as big as my x hubby!] Thanks for providing me with some comic relief today! Your poor brother I might have even done the same! and WHAT A HO that girl was.. !!! Thanks for making me laugh today!!!

ALTHOUGH THIS SOUNDS DEPRESSING THERE IS SORT OF A HAPPY ENDING HERE! <GRIN> Think I needed just to vent a bit - no better group to do this with than the MFP! My goal has been to wake up in the AM and work out several days a week before going to work - I can only make it one day then the next I sleep thru alarm etc.. I…

oh my worst date! I have so many where to start. - I have one that came to my house to pick me up. I had him wait in the living room and when I came down stairs he was buck naked on my couch! - I had another who after taking me to dinner and then for a drink - when he dropped me off and wanted to come in and I said 'no'…

i CAN'T stop laughing that is too funny - maybe I should start brining some frozen meals instead! make them play 'HARD TO GET' with me!:glasses: You guys thanks for the ideas. The protein is probably going to be in tomorrow AM's meal plan.

When I was a kid and my mom would pack my lunch I would eat 1/2 of it in the school bus on the way to school - then be sitting around at lunch time like a droopy eyed dog watching everyone else eat! I am reverting back to my childhood today. This morning I worked out at 5 AM - ate a good breakfast [oatmeal and skim milk…

hipppp hippp hurrayyyyyy for YOU! yipeeeee! It MUST FEEL GOOD!

I am struggling too. but this group is GREAT. KEEP IT UP. The 21 lbs is off somehow. You mis-read the scales before or after. but don't get stuck on that part of this. The goal is to get yourself healthy and noone but you can do this. If others in your household are reluctant to take weight off then they will do everything…

oops you guys said funniest thing - not tasteless sorry!

While you are still down there could you clip my toe nails?

Any idea of what we should get mom for her Birthday?

I think I've already paid double that amount over the past 10 years - on special foods, diet fad programs, drs - heck. but there is money to be made anywhere. You just know how to market it the right way! Can I interest anyone in any of the following - I'll give ya'all special rates!!! A) some magic bras that will help you…

SO... just curious - what is the male count up to? two three or four? it is interesting - do you suspect that the lower rate of males on this site indicates that they might be healther, or might it reflect the reluctance to use this type of 'tool' [MFP] ??

THAT IS :AWESOME!! PAAAARRRTYYY!:drinker: OH WAIT... PARRTYYY with healthy stuff! :wink:

Maybe there is someone who can explain the 'scale thing' difference and why this happens. But throughout the years I have learned that there is generally a 5 to 6 lb difference between any high quality scales that are regularly calibrated and any of the home scales that I have had. I know it is frustrating ! What I hate…

OH OH I WANT TO JOIN! TOO LATE? Starting Weight: 197 Last Week: 196.6 This Week: 195 Goal by Aug. 1: 189 When I weighed in this AM I was down a pound. 3 months and it finally budged ONE pound. I'm happy for even 1 lb as long as it is going in the right direction. Are we supposed to check in 1 x a week?
