Unless your kids are with these people for extended periods of time, I think you're being a bit melodramatic...a few extra cookies or a candy bar from grandma isn’t going to cause long-term damage. As an Aunt, my philosophy was always "the parents are responsible for handling the things they NEED and day-to-day issues, and…

Happy Friday!

Just tell yourself that the people who baked the cookies have cats that walk on their countertops at home...and the bagels were probably touched by someone with a cold and runny nose! Makes it MUCH easier to pass it up :sick:

BINGO!! Before I was married, some women seemed to think I was after their husbands too. I always figured they were either wildly insecure, or the husbands were known to be cheaters (or both).

deleted (wrong month/thread) :ohwell:

I can think of much more pathetic people :ohwell: .. ....I'm a big believer in honesty, and if he's lied to you before about another woman, how can you possibly believe he won't do it again, or that isn't still doing it now?

Unlikely... You're most likely showing a 'gain' on the scale because you started strength training just a week ago. Muscles retain water to repair themselves. Stop weighing yourself everyday (if it freaks out out and you jump to conclusions). Give these changes a little time to start to work in your favor on the scale....

THIS!! Let's face it, not a lot of women are going to look like a VS model even if they spent all day, every day in the gym... These are not the women you should really be comparing youself to.:noway: By the way...you look GREAT as you are right now!

If your third flatmate has the same concerns, maybe the two of you can sit her down and tell her how uncomfortable their presence makes you, and that she needs to either a) go home with these guys instead of bringing them into your home, or b) she should consider moving out if she's going to insist on letting them stay…

Yes, I'm in Michigan, so I try to make the best of it. Ice fishing is fun (with a shanty, a heater and something good to drink) and although I don't ski, I discovered 'tubing' last winter which is a blast! Driving in it sucks though...its like everyone forgets how to drive for the first snowfall or two...:mad:

Ah...I forgot to officially join. I'm in for 150 in December

Maybe try using a rowing machine.....I'm thinking you could probably do it wthout putting too much pressure onto your feet...

Sounds kinda weird to me....I found that watching "Spaceballs" a better way to cure any pizza cravings that might arise :sick:

Nope...my husband had a dog when I met him, so he was a big believer in putting the toilet seats and lids down at all times. We both still do this, even though the dog has been gone for several years now.

:drinker: :bigsmile: :flowerforyou: ...I'm sure it wasn't an easy thing to do, so congratulations to you!

Final for November

In general, I like long island iced teas (when made right...meaning not too much sour mix), but right now, I'm torn between my newest loves....Rum Chata and Jack Daniels Tennessee Cider (a seasonal thing)...both are delicious! :drinker:

Your super-low calorie strategy may be working for you now since you're fairly new to this (and appear to have a lot of weight to lose), but nobody is going to be surprised if you're on here in another month saying your weight loss has stalled and you don't understand why. The goal should not be to lose as fast as…

It could just be hormonal...women 'cycle' hormonally ALL month (not just the week you might think). I'd say give it a few more days to see if it changes. Consider a multi-vitamin too (if you aren't already taking one).

..because I'm a Lions fan and it seems like they always manage to lose :(

I'm glad I never got a tattoo of something that had a "special meaning" to me at some point in my life....can't imagine what kind of idiot thing I would have permanently put on my body when I was 20, that I'd be horrified by now!

Almost there....

I hadn't really considered the deploy/non-deploy possibility either. I was in a head on collision years ago, and it didn't deploy. Then, last year I hit a deer in a different vehicle, and it did...it sounded like a gunshot, smelled horrible, burned my skin, and was like getting hit in the chest with a bag of cement.. So…

I just saw this today and was going to post it (glad I searched first). If it were affodable, I'd consider it, but not sure that thing around the neck would be very comfortable :ohwell: As someone who grew up in the 70's & 80's, I feel completely ridiculous wearing a bike helmet, and have only used mine for organized rides…

Short hair is best and most stylish when its got a great shape! Go to a good hair stylist and make sure its someone who knows how to do great cuts and who can give you advice based on your face shape, etc.. The most awesome thing about hair is that it always grows back! I say go for it! :drinker:
