I love "power shopping"... I call my Nana and we hit the mall. Our local malls have mile markers inside b/c so many people walk them in the winter. :happy: We do a few laps and then we hit the stores.:laugh:

I'm really proud of myself today! I stayed under 100g of sugar (my biggest weakness), got in all of my calories(didn't go over) & water, and hit my target for carbs, protein, and fat intake. This is REALLY big for me because I usually fluctuate between eating everything or nothing at all. :bigsmile: About my exercise...I…

I usually go with something grilled like chicken or seafood fajitas and split it with my hubby. I love fresh pico de gallo but I stay away from guac and sour cream. I also limit myself to one tortilla and then just eat the filling. Its worked so far...I haven't gained and we eat Mexican often since our friends own a…

I hope I'm not too late! I would like to join the group. I neeeeeed to join the group. I haven't been on MFP in a while and without the accountability I've fallen off the wagon. I'm 31, married for 7 years and I have an 8 and 6 yr old. I'm a military wife, own 2 businesses and have church obligations, so I'm pretty busy.…

CONGRATS!!!!!:flowerforyou:

Turbinado aka Sugar in the Raw is a sugarcane extract. Thats their general sweetner of choice while Splenda must be requested. Love & Blessings

If you want to be sure not to offend him i would "agonize" over the cut. Have him do it first. Then "suddenly" decide to have it colored. :laugh:

The cut won't be as dramatic b/c the drama in her case is the contrast between the soft front and the edgy back. But you can definitely make up for the drama in the color. The colors you mentioned are perfect. Any great stylist will cut first and then personalize the color for you and your cut. Once that is done you'll…

I love dancing! (I teach Salsa), Reading, and I discovered the joys of the Knifty Knitter last winter. :bigsmile:

The pic u posted is hot. Love that cut. It has everything I was talking about...lots of texturing, wispy ends and bangs. Of course at a length that is comfy for you. And it would def. look great in a richer color. Its funky, sexy, and low-maintenance!:laugh:

I LOVE Loki's idea of changing your style as a way to move forward. :happy: CB...if you don't want to go the way of losing alot of length, I would consider simply reshaping your current cut by bringing the back up a little keeping an inverted bob shape and adding long layers with tapered/wispy ends. The soft ends will…

Magdalune and Sassie are right too. If its not maintenance or diet it could definitely be medical. Pretty much anything that affects blood supply or horomones can cause hair loss. If you are on any medications for those that could play a huge part too. Love & Blessings

You have the right attitude. We are supposed to come to our brothers and sisters in Christ for help and prayers. The Bible says when we touch and agree (agree in prayer) that our prayers will not go unheard or unanswered. (paraphrased) So I'm agreeing right now that all of my MFP friends that are going to God in faith for…

Increase your protein intake (GNC makes a great protein supplement) Also, if you're not taking a multi-vitamin made for women do so. Then add a Biotin supplement. You can find it in any health store. That will strengthen the new hair your body is making. Then I would look into finding a great Professional regimen that…

Hi CB! :flowerforyou: I'm a Hair Designer so this topic really caught my eye. I'm a Redken and Wella colorist also. Looking at your pic a modified version of the "Pob" would be great for your face. Alot of texturizing would help keep it from looking to flat and give it lots of edge. A light warm caramel or copper foiled…

I was walkin with my SIL and this guy says "Hey is your dad a terrorist, cuz your tha bomb." :huh: We just looked at each other. :laugh:

awww. glad she's home!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

I've been there tooo many times. Stressed and depressed is the worse combination. The last time I turned to exercise instead of food. Ended up losing 10 lbs and feeling good about myself. :happy: Love & Blessings

:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: CONGRATS!!!!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Ahhhh Girbaud jeans!!! :laugh: My best friend and I had matching black denim Girbaud overalls that had black and yellow polka dot patches all over them. LOL I was just looking at that picture.:laugh: We were so cool.:glasses:

OMG! I'm in tears reading these! LMBO I was wondering if I was the only one with LA Gears or the ultra-cool upgrade...LA LIGHTS.:laugh: Haha...acid washed denim OUTFIT with neon fabric paint splattered on it (jeans tucked in of course), cowl neck sweater a la Carol Seaver on Growing Pains (sleeves rolled up over jacket)…

Lol I was thinking that I wanna be the girl that chicks wanna trip when she walks by. (i cant be the only one who has thought about it) I wanna float. :laugh:

I woke up one day and realized that I was the same weight as when I delivered my 11lb daughter. :grumble: Two months later I had surpassed that. The final straw was when 4 strangers in a week asked when my baby was due:angry: ...my youngest is 5. Sooooo...ultimately I wanna be drop dead, traffic-stoppin, smmmmmmmokin hot.…

You're not crazy, you're determined! Congrats!!!!:drinker: Just making the decision was taking control of that area. Keep it up! :happy: Love & Blessings

Great Job!:drinker: :flowerforyou:
