yyyuuummm!!!! :love:

bump...I want to try this later!

I'm planning on camping sometime soon and will be roughing it. i don't want to lug food around that needs to stay cool. I'll have my backpack and anything that will fit into...and thats it! any suggestions for meals that i don't necessarily have to cook and/or refrigerate?

Sorry, I don't have the link, but I read on Women's Health Magazine website that you should only run on the ball of your foot if you're sprinting. Otherwise, run by putting your heel down first. I'm not a runner, so I don't know anything about it, just thought I'd throw that out there.

I started to get some low cal ice cream on stick things at the store yesterday. I walked away and said to myself, "I'll think about it for a while before i give in." By the time I got to the register, I had forgotten about them! I couldn't believe I would ever forget about ice cream! Way to go us!!!

So...i've been down and then back up. i'm not too disappointed because i haven't really ate that well the past couple of weeks and the scale shows. Results Start: 219 Current: 218

Me too. I thought the competition would give me the kick i needed. I have made bad food choices since last week. I was mostly good, but then blow it at dinner. I have exercised, but not like i should. I'm trying to work on that more. Anyway...here goes... Starting weight: 219 Current weight: 218

I've gained 1 pound, had a bad food week, and also Aunt Flo is about to depart. Hopefully I'll be back down in a couple of days. Weight: 218 :grumble:

Have you checked out www.theknot.com? Don't know if thats something you're looking for, but they have alot on their website as far as vendors go.

SMART A** ANSWER OF THE YEAR 2007 !! A college teacher reminds her class of tomorrow's final exam. 'Now class, I won't tolerate any excuses for you not being here tomorrow. I might consider a nuclear attack or a serious personal injury, illness, or a death in your immediate family, but that's it, no other excuses…

I had Pat Benatar in the CD player this morning. I got caught at the traffic light. But the worst part is...the guy and to lean forward to look back at me singing! I don't know what he was looking at, but I kept singing!:laugh:

My hair has a similar cut and from the sounds of things my hair is very much like yours. As long as the stylist uses a razor to thin out your hair, you should be in good shape. I currently use a product called "straighten out". I too, have curly hair. It helps with frizziness. You could also use "Frizzease" It seems to…

Good luck with that. I did Atkins for a while and lost 20 pounds over about a 4 month period. It worked great for me as well. I did have a lot of stress, but not something that would normally have caused my body to behave like it did. I started having a lot of arrhythmia and my heart would also beat fast. I went to the…

i know! I stepped on the scale yesterday and saw I finally lost 2 pounds after weeks of not losing anything and my first thought was...guess i'm going to exercise more tonight! I want to lose more! i think losing a pound here and there will really help keep me motivated.

He is! He's also my excercise coach whether I want him to be one or not!:laugh:

Just for fun, I thought I'd weigh myself this morning. I had a hooray moment followed by throwing a fit, followed by a hooray moment. I got on the scale...couldn't quite see the little lines because I didn't have my glasses on, but it looked like less than what I weighed Friday. So I call my bf in to look at it, and it…

Well, no change this week. Actually I haven't had an change in several weeks. My bf thinks I should talk to the doctor about my thyroid when I go back. I've changed from a low carb high protein diet to actually eating the way you should. I thought my body had to adjust to such an extreme change...but I would have thought…

My boyfriend decided to reward me with a gift of my choice (with his right to veto my choice) for every 10 pounds I lose. Usually I get something to aid in excercising. For my first gift I got roller blades. My second gift I got a yoga mat.

Yesterday sounds great! I have some days where I do really well, some days not quite as well, and then some days I feel like crap because of one meal I ate. But I know its a slow process. I've also been so frustrated because i've been here a couple of months and I've lost about 1 pound. I used to be on a low carb high…

Try drinking a glass of water. Also if there is a convenience store nearby, they might have some bananas, apples and/or oranges. At least the ones hear have them. Or try and chew some gum.

Thats not very nice! I was just feeling guilty about what i've eaten yesterday and today. Trying to motivate myself to workout. Cakes won't help!...well, maybe they will...I'll think about how hard I have to work to burn those calories off!

Ebay! I won the Biggest Winner 5 DVD set for $21.50! I can't wait til it gets here!

First weigh in! I'm ready! height: 5'9" weight: 219 Good luck everyone!

I was a little over zealous about the competition. I seem to be a day ahead of myself all week. Anyway, I got up and weighed myself in anticipation of the competition starting! After I got off the scale, I realized it was only Thursday. :(

My coworker bought some yoplait and had the same problem. At first she thought she didn't like the flavor and was going to give them to another coworker b/c she liked them. For whatever reason she decided to check the expiration and it had Sept. 07 as well!

I went to an urban bbq place and had pulled pork, no bun very little barbecue sauce, a couple of fried okra (whole pieces) and cooked fresh green beans. Not great, but could have done worse! Oh wait, I did do worse... I had some of the nacho appetizer. Yuck! I was hungry, but managed not to scarf down my whole plate. One…

This will my fist time to join in on the competition. I need a good push to excercise more. Count me in!

It's usually freezing in my office as well, but my coworker and I's office has its own thermostat! We got lucky, but when someone else walks in, they complain about it being hot. We like it toasty, no matter what time of year it is!

I bawled through the whole movie! The previews looked great, but the movie turned out terribly. It took me three days to watch and wouldn't suggest it to anyone, not even those who like tear jerkers. Love Hilary Swank, but this one was too much.

I was having some arrythmias(sp?) and saw my doctor. My blood pressure was a little high and he gave me some meds. Anyway, I had already lost some weight and all he suggested was keep doing what I was doing. I asked if there was anything in particular I should stay away from and he said "Stay away from hamburgers and fast…
