It's late (past midnight), I need to get up in less than 6 hours so I'm a little "off" right now. But here goes my "loopy" (and plagiarized*) answer: jump to conclusions fly off the handle dodge responsibility sidestep problems bend the rules stretch the truth run down the competition pass the buck stir up trouble dig up…

These are great suggestions. Funny thing: when I use Pandora and enter "Exercise Music", my stored versions of Weird Al Yankovic's "Rocky Road" and "Eat It" keep getting deleted... :laugh: --MR

Am I understanding correctly? Your calorie budget is only 1000? That seems low. Feel free to add me as a friend! --MR

Sorry, user name changed: Mental_Release --MR

It is an "app" for iPhone and Android. Just go into the App Store or Market (depending on your phone) and search for "Words with Friends Free" --MR

Try WordFeud. There is a 72 hr limit. If you don't move within 3days, you are automatically resigned from the game.

Welcome! Sending you a friend request.

Those last few pounds are the hardest. You're fighting for it and we're all behind you!! So many of us have so far to go...but you're there. *YOU* are *OUR* inspiration! Don't give up. Hopefully these will inspire you as well (or at least make you laugh): "No retreat, No surrender!" - Movie title from years back "Never…

Don't know if this is true, but scientifically speaking water will expand starchy foods (rice, tortillas, etc). I've always wondered if that would contribute to "fullness". --MR

Is that the one with 4 memories (i.e. four people)? Mine is Healthometer as well with 4 person memory.

And if possible, try not to worry too much. Kids are wonderful. That fact you're taking care of yourself is the example you want to show...not exactly which foods to sum up to 1200 calories to eat. Use this a a learning experience for all of you and make it a family activity. THAT'S an example that will stay with them…

As you say...its just a hiccup. See it, shrug it off, and move on. We have other pounds to focus on. :) --MR

Scale manufacturers from around the world meet 3 times a year. They meet in secret and don't even advertise the meetings. The dates and locations are communicated to each other via certain foods that are advertised in your favorite grocery store circular. For example, Frozen Pizzas 2 for a $1 means the meeting is in Italy…

The box with the red 'x' usually means IE can't load the picture from the Internet. If you right click the little 'x' and choose 'View Image' (i think...not using IE right now), you'll see the web site the picture comes from. From there you may have a better idea why you can't view it. --MR

Hi Michelle and Welcome! I look forward to giving you my support and getting your support. Adding you now. :) --MR

I was trying to figure out what to say to you but others have said it in different ways. All I can tell you is this: when I saw my bride standing at the back of the aisle, I saw only her. I couldn't believe she was there for *me*. When you stand at the end of the aisle looking at the alter, he's going to be looking at…

There are way too many to quote, but in short, my mother telling me how "she wants me to be healthy", "your grandfather died of a heart attack", "Your grandmother died of diabetes", "it runs in the family", {death}, {damnation}, {pessimism}, {etc, etc, etc}...and the only thing that will save me is my following her f&*#&*$…

Welcome Karen! First feel free to friend me. As for the weight loss...one step at a time. You've setup your account here...good. You know what your calorie budget is...good. Now find an exercise you like. For me, it was simple walking. I don't always like it, but its what I can fit in right now. Nothing major, just little…

Welcome! Feel free to add me as a friend, though I have curves, I don't do Curves. For some reason I have it in my head it's women only. Is this correct? --MR

I'm an "Information Assurance Professional" within the government. Think computer/information security on steroids. Best part...where I work...nothing. I'd rather be in the commercial/private sector actually helping families and small businesses. I see far too many of them ripped off or taken advantage of because no one is…

You do have Ninja skills. I never see you!

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

*jealous*

Do you just feel like putting something in your mouth are are you actually hungry? If you're actually hungry, re-evaluate the number of calories you need for your day. If you just want to crunch, munch, or have something...your answer is a habit change...not a different snack food. How you change a habit, wish I had a…

I agree. I get more from the people here than any of my "friends" on other sites. --MR

<attempt_at_humor>Find a guy, get engaged and set the date before hers so *she* is *your* brides maid and has the problem instead??</attempt_at_humor> --MR

I don't know if anyone caught it, but the video is actually a YouTube video, i.e. a shorter URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tf5AzZ0HrgA :) --MR

Being a guy, I have no clue on #2...so I'll let the ladies answer that one. *blush* As for #1, my personal opinion, is forget the calorie counting and have fun. You'll have plenty of time to count calories later. I never got to go to my prom and feel I missed out, so don't let *ANYTHING* stop you from enjoying yourself!…

Hello shaedreams! Getting discouraged is nothing new to anyone. I just came off a 6wk "haul *kitten* to get below a certain weight" effort and today, ate junk. My weight is going to go up a bit now. However, it showed me there are now shortcuts. We need to exercise, eat "smart", and *pay attention* to how the two affect…

From reading your posts, the following first step is going to be the hardest for you to accomplish: Stop getting down on yourself when you overeat. Step two will be a little easier: Make a distinction about what, where, when, how and why you overate. You're going to learn things about yourself and food real quick. Soon,…
