I would love it if my employer would do something like this - they are a very large company and you would think it might be something a big company would be interested in. But since we have a hard time even getting the proper ppe at times I don't think it will happen.

Dang I never thought of that - the mall is usually open until 5 on Christmas Eve - may just have to run over and pick something up (there is a CPK there - that counts as a pizza). But yeah, the little local places that deliver will probably be closed. And I agree pizza is ok - I actually have it fairly often - I just…

Wait just to clarify - you are eating 1000-1200 calories a day and then exercising and burning 600 calories, (so 400-600 net calories) or are your net calories (after exercise) 1000-1200 a day?

For Thanksgiving I have it here and so I know I am burning a ton of calories getting ready because I am so nutso with everything (clean like a maniac - especially since I am not really good about that the rest of the time - lots of cooking and running around) so I am ok with not logging or worrying for that. For Christmas…

I had 3 cats aged 12, 11 and 9 when we added a kitten (someone found him and took him to our vets office and after I saw him I was in love) and he was only about 4 weeks old. They were separate at first then gradually introduced and we had no issues (and the oldest ended up being a good mom to him, which was odd since he…

A glitter tattoo kit for Halloween

Nope, too gross for me. I know a lot of people love it but I just don't get it.

I used to have to be done eating 3 hours prior to bed time (or maybe even 4, it has been a while) due to medication I took right before going to sleep for my narcolepsy - I had to take it on an empty stomach. It didn't help me lose any weight to stop eating earlier (I probably gained weight because I wasn't watching my…

Red is a good choice - if I got one that is what I would get, because it would match my other stuff (I didn't set out to get red kitchen appliances, but I got a couple as gifts and so I just went with it).

I haven't been there in a while (may go on Friday when I get off early from work after this thread) but I really love their hatch green chile mac and cheese - not a bad calorie count on it either. Also they have some really great brittles around the holidays. They have great prices on things like chia seeds and hemp…

You have to let us know what you think of it - I keep seeing it on QVC today too and while I am intrigued it is a little pricy for me at the moment. But I am curious to find out what you think of it. What color did you go with?

I misread stuff like that all the time and it is usually something crazy you read. And omg that made me laugh so hard.

Interesting - I didn't know that was in there. I have no idea what it actually tastes like but I know I imagine it tasting and neither of those is part of it. Now I kind of want to try it just to see how wrong I am. In my mind it is like butter pecan ice cream, but in pie form, if that makes any sense.

I went with a ham and gruyere crepe for dinner tonight - the grocery store I shop at makes them at their coffee kiosk and they are awesome, especially when I am not in a cooking mood and don't want to spend too much (only $4 and very filling). I have to guess on the calories but I try to go high just to be safe.

Both of those sound really tasty - I just need to find someone around here who makes it so I can try it. I am sure I could find a bakery that has something at least similar.

When I think of fall desserts I think of the tarts my dad would make for Thanksgiving. I hated (and still hate) pumpkin pie, even though from what I understand my dad's was excellent, so he would take the leftover crust bits (which he made from scratch) and make tarts for me - just the crust with a little bit of jelly in…

My other 3 won't sit together - here are some nice individual shots of them.

OMG how have I not seen this thread before - I love cats (I do love dogs too but don't currently have any). It is funny today I found out one of the girls I work with (different office, same company) is a cat person too and we were sharing pics, now today I see the cat thread - must be Cat Wednesday or something. I can't…

I usually do full size bars but went way overboard and went with king size this year - and pretty much a shopping cart full. I am not a huge candy person so I am not really worried about going crazy, and I usually try to have other stuff I can snack on so I really just don't need it. But of course I snack on things like…

I always only eat one serving of brownie brittle (I even weigh it out and bread a piece smaller if I need to), but I can also believe I am at least part alien.

Here is where I am at on it this year - the rest goes out on Halloween day. I decided to dress up a little by going back to my youth - they had all this glitter makeup at Target so I plan to do something with that.

Oh that is so awesome!

I started gaining weight right around the time I was diagnosed with narcolepsy, and the treatment I am on (and have been on for years) for it is amphetamines. Maybe it is because I take them as prescribed but I don't find them helpful with weight loss at all. I may be the exception, or maybe I just don't take as much as…

I don't usually dress up for Halloween but I do wear a Halloween T-Shirt to give out candy, which is the fun part for me (we do full size bars and the kids go a little bonkers which is hilarious). I love to decorate the outside of the house for Halloween and we were out of the house last year due to a fire so I couldn't -…

Made this for my fitbit (not the totally finished version but I didn't get a picture of that apparently). It was great until the fitbit stopped working.

We all have the Varidesk in my office and we all love them. They make a version that works with 2 monitors - if you don't work in a cubicle with poorly placed overheads then you shouldn't have a problem. The manager who got them actually got them from Skymall because I guess they were less expensive there. Every other…

I get them I just try to work them into my calorie goal. Luckily I lean towards salty foods, and I can always go with a 100 calorie bag of buttered microwave popcorn to take care of that (or on weekends I will usually go with potato chips because I tend to have more calories free on the weekend because I sleep in so late…

I broke up with my long-time (20 yeas living together) boyfriend 3 months ago and we are trying to stay friends. We kind of drifted apart romantically so that is pretty much the spot we were at anyway, so maybe that is why it is not as hard for us to do - I think it depends on how things end. It is kind of weird he keeps…

I just had a 100 calorie snack pack of pringles and I will be going to bed soon. So I guess I would say pringles is a good 100 calorie pre-bedtime snack. Although I will admit they are way less awesome then I remember them being when I was a kid.
