My 44 year old self still does that. :)

My 7 year old self wondered why is my brother was such a butt?

Ugh, every woman's headache! I have a little bit of belly fat left and I'm also short so finding jeans is always a nightmare. All I can recommend is to keep trying on different pairs. I have to try on at least 100 pair of jeans before I finally find a pair that fit right. It's a pain in the butt... but consider it exercise…

Here's a group you might want to check out too: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/42-p90x

I'm 5'2" and in my 120's. Feel free to send me a request if you'd like to look through my diary. I have good days and bad days. :)

I'm from MN and live in ND now... but still a MN girl at heart. Welcome!!! Here's a MN group you might want to join. :) http://www.myfitnesspal.com/forums/show/163-minnesota

I think you can make this topic "sticky" so it stays at the top of the threads list. Thanks for starting this group!

Glad to be here! Thanks for starting this group, Alicia!

My parents took me to one of the live shows when I was a kid. I have been hooked on Garrison Keillor ever since. :)

Hi all! I grew up in Brooklyn Center, went to college in St. Peter and moved to Brooklyn Park after that. I met my husband while visiting a friend in Detroit Lakes over a 4th of July weekend. He was from Fargo. After long distance dating for some time, I couldn't talk him in to moving to the big city so I moved to Fargo.…

Two hard-boiled eggs, a banana and some roasted unsalted almonds. Fills me up until well into the afternoon. :)

I don't think there is anyone on MFP that has not been in those shoes. Try to take it one meal at a time. Try to train your brain that just because you may not have had one good meal... that's no reason why the next meal can't be better. It's hard to change our way of thinking, but it can be done. Just stick with it! It's…

Thank you and you're welcome. You are doing something to improve the quality of your food a little at a time. That's all that matters. Have a great day!

Man, this whole maintenance thing is a lot harder than it sounded. I had reached my goal weight on August 22nd. I have a 5 lb buffer above and below that target weight so I don't drive myself crazy. A week ago I breached that "above" buffer which forced me to refocus. Looks like this will take some more work until I can…

Looks good to me. :) I've been at this almost 2 years and have reached my goal weight. Now I'm just trying to get a handle on this whole maintenance thing. Don't let anyone tell you that your day was anything less than stellar! You are here for a reason... and that reason was probably because you weren't making the best…

I'm beginning to wonder if taking the batteries out was a good idea. What if she talks with no batteries??? I think I would have to kill it with fire! You know... roasted marshmallows ala Jesse! LOL

At least our dog didn't puke all over the rug this time! But I did find him sleeping (hiding?) in a clean clothes hamper. He had burrowed way down in to the clothes too. LOL! What a wuss!!! He's all Mr. Tough Guy when the UPS man comes to the door though. :D

YIKES! Jesse just talked to me again this morning! "Howdy! So whatcha doin' today?" That's it...bye bye batteries!!! :-0

Yep, I would have slept on the couch. LMBO!

I always thought Ernie (and Bert) were creepy anyway! ROFL!

We had an uneventful night... I think. :) Jesse & Woody were safely tucked away in my daughter's room so I supposed it could be that I didn't hear them. They better behave themselves today. My heart can't take another scare like that!!! LOL

^^ This! I start my day with eggs. Half my protein and fat goals are met right after I've had breakfast. Then again, I love breakfast which accounts for nearly 600 calories out of my 1200-calorie day. :)

Peanut butter works for me. I like to put some on celery sticks. It doesn't increase my cals too much but helps boost my healthy fats.

My bad! I was looking at today. Tomorrow looks MUCH better. I would still try to increase your cals a bit, but other than that... huge improvement over today. Sorry about the mix-up.

Is there a reason why the calories are so low? For a male, I would expect to see a minimum of 1800 cals for the day. A suggestion would be to add more fruits and vegetables. They will help your system process the protein and keep you "regular". :) Your sodium is spot on though! Good luck to you.

ROFL!!!!!!!!!

I'm so glad it brightened your day. :)

I'm flattered! Although, I think I can wait a while to have the wits scared out of me just for the entertainment value. LOL!

Truth be told... I'm not a big fan of dolls either. I used to have a realistic looking porcelain doll growing up. It would sit in a child's antique rocking chair. Then one night, I watched Amityville Horror. I never looked at that doll the same again. I swear it would move at night when the lights were out. Sitting…

The whole family is home now so I had to show it to them. They are pretty freaked out about it too. Maybe we'll all get a really good laugh out of it later tonight? LOL!
