Thanks guys. You have all been so much help. I found the stone "Pink Topaz" which seems to be the exact shade of hot pink I'm looking for.

It's not the strawberry or chocolate part that counts. It's the milk. Milk is great for recovering from a workout because it has a balanced carb./ protein mix.

Does anyone take DHEA?

It definitely matters to me. I can burn more off during the day than I can the night. Going to bed with a full stomach makes a difference on scale the next morning for me.

I am laughing so hard about all the cat comments. I have a dog that tries to eat cats. I can't imagine anyone coming to use that box! Or if they do, they certainly won't more than once.:laugh:

I think the two biggest factors are your height and where you carry your weight. I am short and standing next to my tall freinds, I still look heaver even though I'm twenty pounds lighter. I am also "pear" shaped so I can hide more under a cute skirt. Some of my "apple" shaped friends have to be careful because they expose…

I don't know but that sounds awesome. I need a yard (I live in a third floor apartment). Then again, I would probably make Todd do the yard work. :wink: So much for that idea. :laugh:

Me and the dogs! Todd is in there too in one pic but mostly me and my furr-kids. What a dork!!!

Welcome! You will love it here. Everyone is so helpful and sweet.

When my mom and her brothers did a low carb diet they all had gas. One of the brothers was explaining how all the veggies had so much fiber and their bodies weren't used to it. (Apparantly adding too much fiber into your system too quickly tends to make you gassy.)

This might not work for everyone but I find if I eat higher amounts of carbs in the morning and lunch, and do lower carbs closer to dinner and/or night, the weight seems to come off easier without trying so hard. It seems like I can burn off the carbs during the day pretty easy (I have a fairly active job). I also do…

Is a sweetener something you have to have? (I eventually cut it out because I realized I just didn't need it anymore.) But my fiancee uses Stevia. He must not like it though, because that box has been in the pantry for the last six months hardly used. Sorry, I'm not much help. Don't forget, xylitol is poisonous to dogs. If…

Veggies and meat for me please! Fresh okra and eggplant are my favorite. I also use it a lot for chicken. Its so fast at great for my lunch break.

Oh yea, and brushing teeth definitely helps. Its hard to eat and enjoy food with that minty taste in your mouth.

I went organic! I buy everything fresh (no preservatives). If I really want food then I make it myself. No pre-packaged anything. If it can sit on a shelf for a year and be "ok" imagine what it does to your body. ewww.

I ask because I'm in the market for new dishes. So it sounds like I can use smaller plates. What about color or shape?

Oh no! I'm so the opposite. I totally want to freak out when I sweat. I think it's too gross. I can't wait for a shower afterwards.

This post is kind-of funny. I guess I'm a dairy hater. While I would never preach to anyone about staying away from dairy products I don't eat or drink it. It has nothing to do with homones and junk like that. I just can't stand the taste... milk, cheese, yogurt, ice cream, whatever it is. I think it has great nutritional…

Yea. I love happy endings. (Or possibly just the beginning)

How body doing? Hopefully staying on track? I just hit my "one month" mark to go. I'm almost there. Yea!!!

I'm wishing you the best luck and hope it goes well. You are so brave to keep trying. I'm too scared too and its been almost two years since I lost my daughter. I will definitely send all my hope and prayers your way. Stay strong!!!

I recommend dlife too. I'm a type one and have been for many years.

I definitely don't eat at McDonald's. Its been many years since I've eaten there.

It feels like its always raining here. What a bummer.

Fantasic story! I love it. I will have to remember that the next time I go to the gym.

That sounds so good right now!

Hello. If you hit the "search" button on the top of the page and type "wedding", you will find lots of wedding specific groups too.

l will try.

Sounds odd, but I keep posty notes in my car with motivational tips and health tips on the dash board. So while I am running errands or on my lunch break, I am motivated to not make bad choices.

Not sure if it helps you, but I'm such a visual person that seeing the dress I want to be in hanging on the wall in front of the treadmill helped me pushed harder. My wedding is May 8, 2010! Almost here!
