  • <--- It's my goal picture! Me, in 2006. I will get there!
  • 17 or 18 year olds have not yet fully formed the part of the brain that deals with long-term consequences. I think dating a 30+ year old at that age is unwise. As for your ex, I mean, REALLY? I could see possibly meeting one awesome younger girl and overlooking the age thing. But this looks like a pattern. I bet he likes…
  • Reese Witherspoon, a young Cybil Shepard, and Elizabeth Shue
  • Wow Kimberly, I never thought of doing it like a double broiler. Thanks1
  • This one looks good too! http://ohsheglows.com/2009/12/21/crock-pot-apple-spice-steel-cut-oats/
  • Alton Brown, mmmm http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/overnight-oatmeal-recipe/index.html (maybe trade the half and half out for 2% milk)
  • I use it reguarly and really like it! It lets me bust out a workout in my garage, which is great for when I can't get out to the gym!
  • From Charlotte, NC but now proud to call Bellingham, WA home!
  • Funny, I was just looking into that today. I think the MFP sugar goal is misleading. The average woman should eat less than 26g of ADDED sugar. You are not eating added sugar, you are eating the natural ones. That is so very different. I would say don't worry about it, as long as you are avoiding the added sugars you are…
  • Pop open a can of Black beans, microwave some Trader Joe's frozen brown rice (ready in 2 minutes). Add taco seasoning, salsa, a bit of cheese to melt on top and some Fat free greek yogurt. Fiber packed, filling, and yummy!
  • @SuzanneKatherine - there are many other benefits to exercise besides weight loss, surely you know that? It is possible to be "skinny fat". Also, it is not all about the weight. If you gain a bit through working out, that is generally MUSCLE, which ups your resting metabolism in the long run, and reduces your total of body…
  • I think you guys are being a bit harsh. She isn't actually calling people dummies, she is playing off the popular series of "for dummies" books, written for novices on the topic of the book. It is a play on words, and I am sure she means no disrespect or to be mean.
  • Well, this is just my opinion, but I find that the MFP goals lowball me on protein. I acutally go in and set custom goals to create a 40% carbs, 30% protein, 30% fat ratio. I know my body, and I cannot eat 55% carbs and lose weight/feel good, unless I am training heavily for an endurance event. Do you find that if you…
  • Thanks for the awesome ideas everyone! We do have a baby jogger. (Swanky BOB Revolution). I have some knee issues that have made running off limits for now, and can only get so fit with walking. I will keep trying to recover though. The only real way to pull it off is to go IMMEDIATELY when I get home from work, because if…
  • I have a one year old and am just now able to get back to working out - suffered terrible plantar fasciitis (re: evil foot pain) after the baby up until a month ago. I second the advice on the stroller - we just got a Burley stroller/bike trailer combo and with the weather improving I plan to be a mama on the move with my…
  • I am a NC girl transplanted to Bellingham, WA (north of Seattle). I have to say that the lean, fresh food and healthy lifestyle here do make it easier, as do our fantastic summers. But we just came off 5 months of STRAIGHT RAIN so thank your lucky stars you don't have to deal with THAT! No one loses weight here in the…
