  • Cigarette smokers ARE essentially fined by the huge tax that was put on the purchase of them. In Hawaii, they're $10 per pack. In California, they're about $5 per pack. I think in the UK they're about $20 per pack. Less than 20-years ago, they were less than a dollar per pack. Thankfully, I kicked that habit. I think if…
  • I guess what I'm trying to say is, you may find some great answers in the "Newbie" boards.
  • Thank you for this response to this young lady. I have been here a week now, and initially gained 5-pounds, then lost 3.4 of it.

  • I tend to hit the bookstores...hit the front "cheap" cookbooks they're trying to get rid of for $5.00. There's always a ton of vegetarian books and I do most of my cooking out of those.
  • That person is probably not a true friend, and should be happy for you...encouraging you. If she is jealous or tired of hearing about your weight loss, then maybe she needs to get on the bandwagon and lose a few as well. My daddy once told me, on his 50th birthday, that if you could count all your real friends on one hand,…
