My dog brought me a dead lizard today. :(

CUUUUUUUUUUBBBIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cubs fan in St. Louis here, so you know I can appreciate the Cubs tee. You look great too by the way!

Who is she talking to? There are not other humans in that house.

Also, I think for a lot of people college is a waste of time. Some people are better off either entering the workforce right after high school or going to a trade school these days. Also, I think your senior year of high school should consist of multiple two week internships in different fields so that kids would have a…

No one forces anyone to take a loan for anything. It is a personal descision that you make and therefore it should be a personal responsibilty to pay it back. Not to mention, there are TONS of grants and scholarships out there to help pay for college. If fact, the less money you make, the more help there is out there.

All you people saying don't buy plasma televisions are not correct. I have a 42' plasma in my bedroom and 60' plasma in my living room and I will never buy anything else. My plasma in my bedroom has lasted eight years and has never suffered any image burn-in (its not the old plasma technology that was known for this). My…

ugh! me too! Stop telling me about your TOM seriously. Don't post a thread about it, don't make comments about that pop up on my homepage, just stop. No one but you cares about your TOM. Sorry that was a bit of a rant. :)

Wearing a heart rate monitor is the best way to get the most accurate calorie burn. I am not a swimmer, but I do wear a heart rate monitor when I run and lift weights. Sometimes what MFP caculates is pretty close, but I find it to usually be under what my heart rate monitor says I am burning when I run but spot on for…

I only lost about 5 lbs when I completed the program (I only had 15 left to lose at the time). So it was great, but the best part was that it turned me into a runner. I hated running before and now I feel like a day without going for a run is a day wasted.

Not all models are skinny, and there are indeed quite a few heavier models in the world. I think the point the previous poster was trying to make, is that when we condone the government banning one type of people from the media, what is to stop them from banning other types of people. I really doubt any of you would say a…

My mother owns a bakery and she makes donations of donuts, cookies, and bread on a daily basis to our local homeless shelter and she has never been turned down. I think we can all agree that eating a donut is better than eating nothing at all.

1. oatmeal - plain w/ cinnamon and fresh green apple slices nuked in the microwave 2. toast - wheat w/ skippy's natural peanut butter 3. ice cream sundae - just pistachio ice cream for me, no need for the sundae part :) 4. frozen yogurt - I am sorry, but I really don't see the point if there is ice cream :) 5. popcorn…

wedding dress shopping was the worst. It was seriously the most stressful part of planning my wedding. I ended up settling on a dress that I liked, but I didn't love just to be done with the whole thing. DON'T SETTLE! Especially if your parents are willing to pay for a custom gown, get exactly what you want.

My gym charged $30 a month per person and $15 a month for any person that joins the account after you. That included a very decent weight selection, all of their free classes (yoga, pilates, weight training, cardio, spinning, piloxing etc.), great cardio equipment, child care and unlimited tanning. It was perfect. It was…

Running six or three miles outside (depends on how much light I have when I get home), finishing up the rest on the elliptical if need be.

I have recently lost a little over 20lbs but I am down a total of 45lbs since the beginning of 2011. People at work didn't really say anything to me and friends only said encoraging things like "I am so proud of you for accomplishing your goal!" But my family is the worst about these kind of comments. Like my mom said to…

I personally do not care how much skin you show. Especially if you have a great body and want to show off your hard work. Go for it! That being said, I think pic in underwear are a little weird. I don't know why it is to me. It's not showing anything more than a bikini. I guess it's because a bikini is meant to be seen…

I just started a new job in September. My new job is infinitely more complicated and complex than my old and more than I thought it would be. I have never had a complicated or complex job before this, so I was not used to asking for help or making so many mistakes. Once I started asking for help and asking more questions,…

I lived in the situation for many years, as my sister is 5'3" and barely 100lbs. She would complain about needing to loose weight all the time. It never made me feel bad about myself. Being overweight made me feel bad about myself. So I changed it, and now she and I work out together and have great conversations about…

one last thing. I live my life by a few simple rules. One of those, is life is too short to be offended. People's comments will only make you feel certain way about yourself if you let them. Especially when those comments have nothing to do with you. If you can't pull yourself out of feeling crappy over her comments, then…

There is an extremely thin girl at my work that was loudly talking about how she ate too many calories for lunch and all she had for lunch was carrots. That annoys me. If a "skinny" person complains that they are fat, it doesn't have anything to do with you. I am a recovering anorexic and I used to see myself as fat even…

my favorite character is Daryl. He seems to be the only one with his head on straight. I won't make any guesses as to what is going to happen, as I read the comic book series. Although, the show has differed greatly from the book quite a bit, I don't want to spoil things for people.

Conda is quite annoying, but not nearly as annoying to me as Daphne was.

Finally! Someone else! I can't get enough of this...I just watched an episode of another RuPaul show, Drag U. He takes biological women and has drag queens dress them up and do their make up like drag queens. Cracks my *kitten* up!

I feel like all the tv I watch could be consider embarassing to one person or another...but for me the most embarassing show that I watch....RuPaul's Drag Race.

As far as DVD and diet programs go, this one is relatively cheap. So I say go for it. I personally like having workout DVD's around on crappy weather days when I don't feel like running or going to the gym. I also love to cook and love having healthy eating recipe books on hand. It's about the same price as going to the…

I was eating only 1200 calories a day and wasn't losing at all. I upped the calories to 1650 and started seeing results. 1200 is certainly possible and I wasn't hungry when I was doing it, but I wasn't losing either. Up the calories if it's not working for you.

the rudest thing ever said about my weight, was not said directly to me. It was said to my husband. My mother today him on our wedding day, that I would always be a big a girl. I am 5'5" and was 137 lbs at the time she said this. Glad I didn't hear about her saying it until after the wedding.

I always work out in the late afternoon/evening. I usually start my workout some time between 4 PM and 7 PM. On the days I start at 4, I always eat dinner after those workouts. If I workout after dinner, I always have a post-workout snack. Something to replenish some protein and carbs. Usually it's chocolate milk.
