maybe he was afraid you were casing the neighborhood for a burglary. :huh: do you live on that block or a different one?

Fiber Plus bars, Pilgrim's Pride Eat Well Stay Healthy frozen grilled chicken breasts, the little cups of Minute microwaveable brown rice, whole wheat spaghetti, ground turkey, and a mix of veggies! Those are pretty much a given on any re-stocking trip for us!

This is a great idea and sounds like it'd work... Using the protein powder instead of using the cocoa powder. Is the protein powder pretty sweet? just do some small batch practice runs!

i have this large enough for a background if anyone wants it! :drinker: edit: came out kinda big... it reads "The human body experiences a powerful gravitational pull in the direction of hope."

yeah, it was a rough session... I felt as though I would puke! :sick: lol

You're not wrong! It's a complete bummer when you live far away from home and then when something like this happens it's even more of a downer! I can relate on two levels, 1) my bridesmaids didn't even throw me a shower, and 2) I threw one for a friend and the same thing happened to her! I'm sure they'll find a way to make…

you're best bet is to get a heart rate monitor. At first, I was doing "Dance, twist, modern" or something like that but I found out it was coming in waayy less than my hrm. See, my heart rates gets super high during a session (I'm talking, like, 170-180!). I'm 5'8", 238lbs and, according to my last zumba entry, an hour…

No more Tube Tops! I fear them for two reasons... They're not flattering and accidental flashing! :noway:

Come On Eileen by Dexys Midnight Runners! :glasses:

I will, literally, hide around the house and scare him. :devil: I also flip around a lot of what he says... like... at the gym he said, "I brought your hairbrush." Now, this was a completely thoughtful thing, but just for the fun of it I said, "What, are you saying my hair looks bad?" Etc. He gets flustered and I think…

I get wherer you're coming from. My sister, who is also 32, is a complete IDIOT. /sigh Our parents were always coming to her rescue and it has done nothing but bite us all in the rear. They finally drew the line when she started letting a convicted felon (drugs, robbery and terrorist threats) live with her and my young…

That day was a culmination of so much hard work in an organization supporting my favourite activity - Band! I was very proud to receive my membership pin because it was the first thing i'd ever done both or myself and others. This organization taught me SELF RESPECT as well as hard work and respect for others! I now have a…

Mine would be the day I became a member of Kappa Kappa Psi!

maybe more ab exercises? I know they say you can't target a certain spot, but I have a gut (lol) and have noticed the the more I work my abs into a cardio routine the smaller it gets. Like... if you're a walker, do some knee lifts and add a crunch in there. You can cross over with your elbox and get your obliques too. From…

Thanks for the suggestions! I do like the idea of putting the zebra in the skirt... I think since the crown is so iconic of Sleeping Beauty that a print would change the theme. lesliekae, I would love to make a baby. lol That's something I'd have to practice a lot. This zebra thing was just sprung on me and the shower is…

I'm a total fan! Always thought it was the coolest but what was the first thing i did when I got in a pair of skates? Break my leg in three places! :noway:

Maybe circuit training? that sounds about right to me... Or just high impact Aerobics... you can always get a heart rate monitor as well and 'create' your exercise!

I don't remember being teased much about my weight just general teasing, i guess. Maybe I blocked it out? I blocked out a lot of school. lol Oddly enough I do remember getting teased about the size of my head. :huh: Kinda like Dib from Invader Zim! :laugh: I always looked at myself with the mentality, "I'm bigger than my…

I got to see them with REO Speed Wagon about 8yrs ago and I'm going to see them again NEXT MONTH! :glasses:

What really gets you is the additives like the puckers, syrups and whatnot. I know a lot of people do diet soda with vodka or whatever you like. If you look up a shot of vodka, like Absolut, it only has 67 cals. Be very careful of binge drinking, too! It's a real problem with young women (myself included. was absolutely…

sounds good! BUMP!

Welcome! My ultimate goal is close to yours! My midway goal is 190 to see how I look but, eventually, I'm thinking to get down to 170. You can do it!

get the image's url from right clicking and selecting "properties" and then put [ img] paste the image's url [/ img] NO spaces! :flowerforyou:

I would love to have a body like Katy Mixon! She's gorgeous with great curves!

You can use those clips with the teeth! They don't pull on your hair just kinda hold it up. Also, pulling your hair into tight buns or ponies can cause breakage at your forehead and lead to a receeding hairline!

Off-hand I don't have anything, but www.allrecipes.com has been a great resource for me. They already have nutrition info for most, if not all, their recipes and many of them are easily tweaked! Find one you like and then input into the mfp recipe tool and there ya go! :drinker:

Ed's in Brotherhood! As far as I know, anyway! We've bought the first and second seasons but only watched the first. We don't get broadcast tv, so we have to wait on everything! Hellsing I caught an episode of on, i think, BAM! Encore channel... I don't quite remember but I fell in love and ran out to find it! Battle Angel…

Don't forget about water! It'll help was away any sodium to take in. I noticed that the last day you logged anything to drink was last wed. Remember that tea can count as water as well as coffee (I think!) but remember to go ahead and count you're juices, pops, whatever in your diary, too!

I need some new music, so I'm excited to hear what others use. My personal fav is "Bad Romance" by Lady Gaga... it reminds me that I have/had a bad romance with my body and junk food! I especially love the line "You're a criminal as long as you're mine" during a workout. I also love "El Matatdor" by Los Fabulosos…

I know what you mean! BHM need love, too! But when you think about it, iwhen the media portrays an overweight couple it has even more of a stigma on it... Like, a skinny person dating one who's overweight is just a "chubby-chaser" and that's 'their thing,' but when an overweight couple is portrayed it's always like, "well,…
