Southern New Jersey and its 64' F (17.7'C) and raining today. Lows have been in the 40s (below 10C) Beginning tomorrow highs will be in the 50s F (between 10 & 15C) for the next 7 days.

I was going to post my weigh in a day early (should have) lost track yesterday and forgot... Lost the weight I gained the last 2 weeks. Weigh in: 333.0

i logged everything & did pretty good.

sounds good!! will have to try them sometime =]

Both I can listen to a song over & over because I like the music Same goes for a song that has meaning [to me].

went to school with an Anita Newman (I need a new man) actually pointed that out to her in class one day---she said she'd never thought about that before and then said "Hell yeah I need a new man" :laugh:

for far to long we've been led to believe we need to eat less & exercise more. the truth of the matter, we NEED to EAT to FUEL the fat burning furnace and keep our metabolism going.

Just recently I found out that on 11-11-11 a baby was born and they named the kid after a character from a video game (Skyrim). It was for a freaking contest!!!!!!! The name itself is odd... Dovahkiin. The mother isn't even into gaming... not sure about the father and they have won FREE games for life from the game…

good info but it can still be hard to tell portions that way---for meat especially. serving size = a fist---who's fist? mine, spouse/significant other, a child? serving size = a light bub---Which type of bulb? standard, Christmas lights, night light? Yes, I'm being silly, but some people (such as myself) need specifics.…

As long as you are still within your calories I don't think it matters what time you eat. If you have calories left & are hungry after 8pm, then by all means eat something. I eat whenever I'm hungry as long as I stay within my calorie goal.

I :heart: corn nuts but haven't had them in years. Do you mean breaking out in acne or a rash? Either way I hope you get it resolved.

I think the gain this week was water weight... cuz TOM arrived the day b4 weigh in.

had another gain =[ 337.0 Kickin' it in gear this week!!

I love writing poetry & short stories. I enjoy reading poetry as well. I keep a notebook handy when I feel inspired to write. I am not published but I have written close to 200 poems since 9th grade English & Junior year Creative Writing classes in high school. I haven't written in a year or two though which kind of bums…

I mostly use Red Heart. I do have a few Caron & Lion Brand. The baby afghan I'm making is with Bernat baby coordinates. I would LOVE to try the Red Heart Curly Q yarns. (see video below) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0Y-SDzKUU0

I think Red Heart has a free pattern for a santa hat. they have one with a beard too :D If you go to their site (redheart.com) and click free pattern, then scroll down -- on the right click Holiday the santa hat with beard is page 2 and the santa hat is on page 3. Both are crochet. They do have a santa hat to knit as well.

gratz!!!!

forgot to post weigh in this week.... was thinking this was getting moved to the "Groups" since a moderator's message last week said MFP wanted to move all challenges to the group area. Okkayyyy then... This week a gain: 335.8 =[ gonna push it harder this week.

I have never seen a free pattern on ravelry. guess I'm not looking in the right place(s).

We all fall off the wagon from time to time---it's not a total failure. I do understand how you feel but remember... today is a new day. I would only begin to worry or be mad at myself if it started becoming a daily thing. As far as your iron being low, do you have any iron supplements you could take? If not ask your…

I agree with an above post. bittersweet not sad. =] sounds like a beautiful sweater. Be happy that you grew out of it that way instead of the opposite.

also... I am only taking 1 serving so 6oz of milk to 36g of powder.

It is a whey protein. I've never had a problem with dairy. I do use it with milk -- tastes better to me that way =] Hopefully my body just needs to adjust to it. I will give it another week, if it's the same I'll switch to mixing with water. If there is no change after that, I will definitely switch.

I miss my banner too. I understand the "clutter" issue but they were deleted without notification which seems a bit unfair.

It's not bad. can be addicting to some lol Long story short: --there are 25 skills to level--all go to 99 but one of them continues up to 120 (some are members only--membership is about 5 bux a month) --there are about 20 non-member quests --there are over 50 member only quests --there are mini-games within the game to…

This^^ Although I have had few nights I just said "to heck with it" and didn't log the "extra's" =/ It sucks to feel guilt & shame. And it sucks when you get the cravings or whatever too.

Way to Go!!!

It definitely CAN be worth it. I met my husband online on Pogo.com of all places. He was in NJ and I was in MI. It certainly can be difficult at times when you really need someone there for you. Hang in there & if it's meant to be it'll happen. =]

Sounds like us here lol we all love cartoons & other shows. My kids like doing the Leslie Sansone walks with me, cuddling, tickle fights.... they both want me to teach them to crochet & cook. I :heart: my kids!!!
