  • William Dafoe. I know..... must be those lips! Think he's very sexy, but don't really understand why I feel that way, just do.
  • So Very Sad. He was truely a Pioneer and a Great person. He will be missed today and tomorrow...
  • I am 5 foot 4 and 1/2 inches under tall. I'd like to be 5'8". And much thinner than I am right now!! :laugh:
  • Fresh fruit: Nice crisp apples (esp pink ladies) , frozen grapes, a good ripe peach!
  • Mine is of my Favorite Horse and First and Truest Love of my life (not including my hubbie of course!)--my Soul-mate: Hoot! He has since passed over the Rainbow Bridge, but will live on Forever in my Heart. He continues to inspire me to be... a better me!! He was the kindest soul I have ever encountered, and seeing his…
  • Not really sure WHAT I was expecting..but most definitely NOT this! Ugh! Sorry...I know it's really a cultural thing as you can eat anything that you ate when you grew up. Think that makes sense. I'm Hispanic, and I Love Menudo a soup made with hominy and tripe --(cow's stomach lining). it's really lovely, although I admit…
  • People who mistreat animals Rude people Mean People in general (they suck!)
  • Wonderful job/Fantastic loss! Bump for exercises later as I'm sure I will need them too!
  • Salmon! My husband LOVES it and I have seriouslly tried to like it (have had it fixed numerous different ways) and no matter what, ...cannot Gag it down! Ugh! I have even tried to disguise it with tarter sauce (to no avail!):sick: Oh...and liver! YUCK!! It tastes like dirt!
  • Hi. I'm a bit taller than you ( 5' 4 1/2 ") starting weight for MFP was 241, current weight 205, goal weight is 135. Feel free to add me too if you like. Best of luck to you!!
  • Wow, my husband and I usually fight over silly things too, but your silly thing has ours beat hands down! :laugh: Anyway, we Both happen to agree on this one so it wouldn't be a fight for us anyway. Cereal: crunchy (it only gets soggy if you don't eat it fast enough!, and who does that anyway?!) Banana: peel from the stem…
  • I had a lot of Equine-themed shirts which I gave to a fellow Horsey-friend who is about the same size as where I started. The rest of the clothes I have put in bags to take over and donate to either St.Vincent De Paul or we have a Benedictine Monastery in our town that also has a thrift shop. (and they need clothing all…
  • For Just my husband and I, we spend around $125 per week. We also have lots of pets, but I budget for their food seperately (esp since we have 3 horses and hay is now up to $17 a bale! ... Ouch!) This avearge includes Cleaning supplies, T paper, RidX etc. which we purchase on an as needed basis. We live in a small town,…
  • I'm 5' 4 and 1/2" (very impt. that 1/2 inch!) My goal is 135. However, once I reach that, if I'm still not satisfied, then I'll shoot for 125 or even 120. Depends on how I look and more importantly, how I feel!
  • What I like best about me? I am a kind and loving person. What I like best about myself physically? I have nice/expressive eyes. They change color depending on my mood: from green(happy) ... to gold (excited) ... to brown (mellow). And I have lots of thick, long, dark eyelashes.
  • Oh No! Not that again! I hate the stuff! And my husband LOVES it! I love almost all candy, but Candy Corn..it's the one candy I won't touch. It's the only thing he can buy that I'll leave completely alone. Hey.....maybe that's Why he likes it so much? Nah!... he's just obsessive with it. Likes to eat it layer by layer, But…
  • I have Three, but do a limited amout of riding right now due to two main reasons: 1) The heat (I live in the desert where summer time heat is in the triple digits) and 2) I have MS which affects my balance (esp when I get over-heated!). Two of my 3 horses are fairlly good sized for Paints (my Mare is 16 hands and my…
  • bump
  • When I wear makeup, it's Bare Minerals. I have oily, but mature skin and it's hard to keep makeup on in the 115 degree Desert Heat! Bare Minerals does the best job of staying on and not making me look like I ran in to the back end of Max Factor truck!!
  • Gosh. We really don't have very many! Let's see... We have 3 horses: Sarah (20yrs) she was my Show Mare , Willie (14 yrs) a Big Boy (Palomino/Paint) named after my Dad and is now my Husband's horse ( have had Willie from the day he hit the ground) and Lucky (14yrs) He's a small/stout palomino horse that could almost pass…
  • My username is Hootsmamma after my Favorite horse (that's him in my profile pic). He has since crossed over the Rainbow Bridge. But while he was alive...boy was he ever a character! He was the smartest, kindest, funniest (yes..horses Have a sense of humor) being I have ever met! I Truely loved this gentle and loving…
  • We lived on opposite ends of the Same Street ( he on the West end and me on the East end) in a Very Small town. He was living on the property of a married couple ( friends of his). The wife had been coming over to where I was living to exercise one of our horses. She took every opportuinty to put us together socially…
  • I am 5' 4 1/2 " (don't forget the 1/2!!)--My husband is Over 6 ft and always refers to me as Vertically Challenged. Anyway, my Goal weight is 135. Once I hit this, if I'm still not happy with my body, I may shoot for 120- 125. But Don't think anything below 120 is very realistic as I just turned 51 and I weighed 108 when I…
  • No. I have never and never would cheat on my husband. I love, like and respect him too much for that. We have been together for 12 years and married for 11. Has it all been easy or smooth sailing? No. Marriage, like any good relationship takes work. We started our journey together as friends and we made a comittment to…
  • Just keep coming back. Every day it gets easier and you'll find you make better, more informed and healthy choices. MFP is a wonderful site. I have met many supportive people in all stages of losing, from just beginning (like you) to having met their goals and have since switched to just maintaining and still logging. It…

  • Dinner tonight was just Awesome Babe. All chicken, even the skinless/boneless breasts (which can sometimes come out dry)- were extremely moist. I give dinner tonight an A+. Job well done! :drinker:
  • This is absolutely one of the BEST posts I have seen on MFP! Positively LOVED it! You had me "fooled" at first few sentences, so I was "hooked" and kept reading! Whew! What a relief it must be for yor husband! ( personally, I was rooting FOR HIM!!) So happy your "addictive" relationship has you cheating for all the right…
  • My First Marriage! I was married for 3 L O N G, Horrible, terrible, horrible, terrible years! Finally decided I had to get out and I walked away from everything. Let him have the house, all the furniture all the money in savings etc. Oh, and I took ALL of the bills! (Was I stupid or what??!!) Didn't care. I took my dog, my…
