Thank goodness I've never been to a Cheesecake Factory to delight in their sinful foods!!!!

I like mine room temperature or slightly cooler. I don't like ice water except in the heat of summer. My teeth and palate are sensitive to cold. It slows me down to drink ice water.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Love it

no clue *bump*

Mine is 5 five years old :wink:

Non scientific perks: Great at quenching thirst after working out. About the only time I can chug water. Keeps my face clear, unbelievably clear.... which is part of the reason I'm trying to get back to drinking my water. :grumble: Like you, I struggle with it. (taking a gulp right now to down the stuff today) Makes me pee…

I'm still logging. I'm still being aware of the calories I eat. I'm going to do it this time. I feel horrible today. Sore throat causing my ear to ache. Just wanna go home and go to bed. Ladies, let's get our motivation up -- the weekend is upon us! Let's push harder towards that Tuesday weigh in!

FYI -- You'd better stay!!!! :angry: :wink:

Kristy, perfectly done :smile: Madeline, welcome! I added you on to the list. Each week when checking in -- on Tuesdays -- just copy and paste the most recent version of the big list we have going! :smile:

Kristin (kistinbee)...................SW 164.5 lbs/ GW 159.0 lbs/ CW 164.5 lbs/ PROGRESS 0.0 lbs Susan (Suedre)......................SW 170.0 lbs/ GW 165.0 lbs/ CW 170.0 lbs/ PROGRESS 0.0 lbs Lauryn (Phoenix_Rising)......SW 163.4 lbs/ GW 159.0 lbs/ CW 163.4 lbs/ PROGRESS 0.0 lbs Tiff (gonabfit)...........................SW…

Tiff, two months "off"?!?!?! What will you do with yourself??? LOVE YOU!!! Jayden'sMom, have you looked on youtube or a Fitness Channel on tv (if you have On Demand channels)? You can even look into what is at your local library.... so you can try them out before buying one, to make sure it works for you :smile: Lorna, YOU…

Hi Ladies!!! I hope it sticks this time -- I'm Back!! 4 lbs goal. Would like to do more, but I'm simply looking to break into the 150s now. Small steps. I'm logging food again. My biggest issue is when I eat food that I can't figure out calories for. I end up not logging and not worrying about it. BAD IDEA. Trying to eat…

Each week, we check in on Tuesdays. When you check in, cut your name from the bottom area, paste to the top area (hence the blank space in the list, to show who has checked in that week). Update your weekly info. :smile: EDIT: Set your own six week goal. Many of us just pick a number. You can also base it on how much you…

Hi Kristy!! We do six week challenges. We try to lose a small specified weight amount during that six weeks = "Goal Weight" or GW. We copy and paste our names (real and usernames) with our Current Weight, Start Weight (week 1, they will be the same, CW and SW) and then our goal weight. Each week we add what we've lost or…

I like "Light"ing up for the Holidays :smile: Covers it all, weight loss and our shining inner lights and the decorations we'll put up!

I love that!!!! And good morning ladies!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Your achievement should be celebrated!!! Make sure they don't screw it up like they did last time and say MFP is a dieting site. Far from it!!

Sixers: No Gobble, No Wobble :laugh: Sixers: Triumphant over Turkey! Will this challenge run from Nov 9 - Dec 21? Should we look at Christmas themes too? Like "Light"ing It Up for Christmas?

I don't have any training in a lot of areas but I can figure out things and make them work. Strippers don't have to be educated to know that certain exercises and diets keep them in shape. Besides, anyone can look up enough info to educate themselves and give great advice. I'd take advice from a guy at the gym with a body…

Ditto!!!

Or strut!! Turkey strut. Struttin' Our Stuff?

Next challenge name: a play on "Gobble" or "Wobble" or "Turkey Trot" .... we have a local 5k called the Turkey Trot, which is why it's all I can think of when I hear Thanksgiving! :laugh: No Gobble = No Wobble? haha BRAINSTORMING!!! Y'all play off anything I ramble off here.

Oh no!! I'm sorry! I cleared my friend list, cutting it drastically. (Stupid ex husband still trying to stalk me through it, trying to clear out any possible leaks. I just don't need him bothering me!!!) I must have accidentally cut you!! So sorry-- friend me again darling!

WHAT A GREAT SITE!!

What a perfect way for me to make a quickie breakfast for me and my Kiddo on school mornings!!!! Thank you so much!!

just drooled all over my keyboard

Sixers Triumphing over Turkey? haha, that sounded dumb. My creative juices musta stopped flowing today! I hope to be back aboard next week. I know I've said that before and been unable to live up to it. This time, working out is the only way I'm going to stave off the darkness. Gotta get my blood pressure in check. Not…

I like the idea of cowashing. Do you blowdry your hair afterwards? Mine is oddly kinky curly and won't curl properly in the winter so I have to dry it straight. I wonder if that heat will irritate my scalp??
