Teen Mom and Teen Mom 2 are a guilty pleasure of mine. A train wreck and I can't look away. I think Jenelle has had plenty of chances and has blown it repeatedly. But she has also been diagnosed as bi-polar, which complicates things. Mental health issues are nothing to scoff at. I really hope she gets proper help.

Found out they're changing my train schedule. Now every half hour throughout the day instead of on the hour. It's a sad day when the highlight of my day is train frequency increases when I don't need it.

I've been a veggie for 12? 13 years? Moving more and more towards veganism.

Excellent summary, I have the SG3 and LOVE it. I can't comment on the iPhone as this is my first smart phone. I'm a bit of a tech junky, but I held out on a phone for a long time. But I have to add a little of info about your cons: Reader: You can use Feedly, and if you install and set it up before Reader goes out it'll…

Medication is absolutely worth it. I have had anxiety for years. For the longest time I tried to "be tough" and ignore it. Eventually my grades, performance at work, and friendships started to deteriorate because I was falling apart. I would have episodes of panic, hyperventilate and pass out. Finally after a trip to the…

This. I foster cats and have had countless live with me. De-clawing is the equivalent of amputating their fingers. People deciding they can't have a cat because they have a baby is one of the reasons there are so many discarded cats. You made a 20 year commitment to that cat and the same to your son. You need to teach your…

I quit smoking 6 weeks ago, and I started Couch to 5k 3 weeks ago (tomorrow is the last run of week 3.) I can now run for minutes without dying, then I alternate to walking for a few minutes. I was always convinced I would NEVER be a runner, and now I'm working on it. You can get audio files, apps, or plain old paper print…

1. I'm not meat cook of the year. I prepare the basics. I also ate meat - 13 or 14 years ago. I am pretty capable of covering chicken and BBQ sauce and figuring it out when it's done. I'm also really capable of following recipes that say "cook for this long" or "it's done when meat is cooked fully." It's not rocket…

I like you.

I'm a vegetarian, and only rarely come across people who feel they should be jerks about it, trying to push meat in my face etc. Those people aren't worth my time, and would like rag on anyone for just about anything that isn't exactly the same choices they make. Most people respect my choice, and are fairly accommodating.…

Water pistol/spray bottles are EXTREMELY effective at deterring bad behaviour, it only takes a squirt or too before they associate bad behaviour with getting wet.

Have you tried cat grass? You can grow it or buy it at the grocery store. Putting it on/near the cat tree might help. Make sure to secure it or you'll end up with dirt all over the place.

Cat nip spray. I foster cats and have to train kitten after kitten to use it. We're pretty successful at saving out furniture and having them use the tree with the spray. I get mine at the dollar store, pet stores will have it too.

Check out those curves you've got going - wowwy! Keep at it, you'll be there in no time!

CLR. Seriously.

Holy crap you're a whole different person! Nice work!

Liability only. I recently sold my $2,000 car. I don't remember the exact amount of savings/year, but the insurance company wouldn't have given me $2,000 for the car if I wrecked it, and I figured out the savings on collision/upset would be better spent saving for my next car.

^ NAILED IT! I WAS HAVING SUCH A TERRIBLE DAY. THIS THREAD MADE IT ALL BETTER!

I sympathize. I've tried everything, birth control, topicals, antibiotics, proactiv, murad, oil cleansing, dairy free and gluten free diets, zinc supplements and accutane (twice!) Nothing will make my face better. I still have terrible skin. It is so oily I can't control it. Even 45 minutes after washing my face, it's…

Beans are your friend. Some canned ones can be high in sodium, dried that need rehydrating aren't as bad. You can do a million things with beans. ETA: I second quinoa. My two staples of foods are quinoa and beans. *Pigs out on greek quinoa salad for lunch*

Hi, I've been a vegetarian for 13 years. There are two types of vegetarians, those who replace meat with carbs, and those who educate themselves on healthy eating without meat. Becoming vegetarian doesn't automatically mean healthy or weight loss. (I got fat as a vegetarian, and it took me years to learn how to cook…

Do you want to be lighter or smaller? I don't care what I weigh as long as my clothes get bigger on me.

I'm Canadian and say "eh" a lot. I'm also cheap, an accountant, and LOVE Excel.

Jello, pudding, and maybe some protein shakes. My boyfriend is having his wisdom teeth pulled today.

You can wear it during squash, just make sure when you enter the exercise you add the time started and number of minutes, MFP/Fitbit will recalculate the calories during that time period. (MFP exercise will trump what Fitbit Calculates) and you'll still be tracking steps.

Your fitbit should be able to account for up and down hills, number of steps etc. What other exercise are you adding? Calories from a heart rate monitor or MFP database?

Absolutely. But she's probably burning 200 more calories than me with 30DS.

I would think that's not enough. I'm going Insanity and eating roughly 1900-2000 per day, I'm 25 and 5'10. Adding in 30DS and I think you should be eating closer to 1900-2000 per day.

Sharing a friends photo - after the storm.

I'm also Canadian. This just made my sh*tty day so much better!
