I like a lot of Linkin Park (Papercut, No More Sorrow, Krawling) when I'm trying to push hard on cardio. I also have some Pat Benatar, Bush, Beyonce, Eurythmics, Busta Rhymes, Depeche Mode and host of other stuff. I have an eclectic taste in music, and I also like really hard beats when working out. Although, I'm not sure…

Have you ever had issues with ulcers?

I don't fail to realize anything. The "crap" comment was me actually responding to the first paragraph. It is a load of crap for someone to say that people who keep their diary private won't be successful or are missing out huge.

I have no idea why anyone would do this. What's the point on being on here? I have friends look at my diary and say things about it that are so useful, and I do the same. Even if it's just to get food ideas! Those people that have their diaries closed will not be as successful or are missing out huge. That is the biggest…

My first, second and third Zumba classes were torture. Decided it wasn't for me.

Thank you for your encouraging words.

I wonder if anyone has tried to lose and gain the same small amount, say 2 pounds, when they hit maintenance. As a way to keep something to work towards.

Hmmm. I feel like it's going to be difficult for me to set fitness goals for myself because while I definitely understand the need for exercise and regular physical activity, for the most part I don't enjoy it very much. I've tried several different activities - walking,swimming, classes. I even did 1 day of Couch to 5 K.…

What would you hope to gain out of telling her? If you really want him to leave you alone then tell them he should immediately cease all attempts at communication with you. If he does not, threaten to have a restraining order placed against him and the papers served at his house. Then ask him if he would like to try to…

Thank you. I'm still not entirely clear on the zig zagging method.

If you're worried about the base, try a thin crust over regular. And load up on veggies.

[/quote] How can you eat meat that is that OVERCOOKED!! If it's not still cold in the middle, it's not worth eating.

Or all the stir fry...

Excuse me and I mean this in the most polite way possible but - I am a grown *kitten* woman! The only person I need to hold me accountable is me. It is no one's business what I eat and is certainly not information that complete strangers feel they should be entitled to scrutinize.

This is just my personal opinion, but I don't see that as a scam. I see it as business model. There are many different business models. Some MLM behave in a more honest and ethical behavior than others. They are not all created equal. I've been to several Mary Kay parties and I don't ever remember the pitch being it's a…

I know they are MLM. I know what that means. He also said that he equates - oh excuse me - translates MLM to scam. So I think it would be reasonable for me to follow that since he translates MLM to scam and listed Mary Kay as a MLM that he translates Mary Kay to scam. But thanks for clarifying that for me. :huh:

I'm just curious and realize I'm going off topic, but how is Mary Kay a scam? I don't sell it or buy it on the regular. But I'm confused by that statement.

My favorite brand of canned black beans is Blue Runner. They are more of a creamy consistency and the flavoring is so good. Many times I will just heat up a can of those and sprinkle some shredded cheese on a serving. I only noticed Blue Runner when I moved to Louisiana so I'm not sure how hard it would be to find outside…

I had the Lap Band on July 26, 2011. So far, according to my parent's scale (which I'm not sure I completely trust) I've lost 63 pounds since I joined MFP in April of 2011. 50 of those pounds after surgery. So I am pleased. A big part of that however, is being pleased with my own efforts. Surgery is not a quick fix. It…

I think this is a lost art. People post way too much personal info on FB. I remember there used to be a time that someone airing your personal business was grounds for a beat down! Now folks are airing their own dirty laundry and sometimes with truly unfortunate consequences. No one needs to know your every waking move or…

What kind of drama are people talking about? I've been on FB since you had to have a school email account to join. I've never had what I would consider to be "drama." I don't understand it. FB is like anything else - it's what you make of it.

Then people must be PISSED with me. Luckily, I don't really care. I can't say this was pet peeve, but the funniest thing I saw while working out was a man reading the newspaper while on the thigh adductor machine. I don't mean reading a folded up newspaper. It was like the front page section fully opened with both arms…

I can't imagine why I would be offended if someone commented on my weight loss. It's not like I didn't know I was heavy. I admit it can be a little embarrassing if someone makes a big deal about it, but that's just because I tend to shy away from attention. I never think that someone means anything ill by it. I have and…

I agree with this approach.

I actually prefer to make my own as opposed to the boxed kind. I season them with whatever I would have seasoned beef burgers with - onions, green peppers, garlic, sylvia's seasoning salt, etc. You may have to play around with different levels of fat content. When I stopped eating pork and red meat 10 yrs ago, I wasn't too…

Again - how does your post directed at ME contribute anything to the thread? You can't seriously call yourself chastising me for posting off topic when your post directed at ME is off topic. I don't think it's unfair at all. It's no different than if I were having a conversation today with someone and something they said…

Seriously? How does your post to me add anything to this thread? It's not that serious for me to block him. I have just as much right to judge him for using porn as an ideal as he and his wife judging fat people. :ohwell:

I'm sorry, but I cannot take anything you say serious. You are the same person who used porn as an example to justify someone not finding their partner attractive. You talk about honesty and use porn which is so incredibly fake it's laughable. It's just too ironic for me. I don't have a problem that you and your wife don't…

I wonder how it would taste if black beans were substituted for refried? I think I will try it.
