Hungry Girl has a taco recipe you could try. You can find it here http://www.hungry-girl.com/chew/chewdetails.php?isid=2000

Thanks lol. My boyfriend went with me and I put blood all over his shirt and carried around a fake heart. It was awesome!

Me from before last year's Zombie Pub Shamble, RAWR!

They have quite a few low-carb options (not sure what they are or if they are vegetarian), but you could always do a plain old veggie plate. Its any four vegetable sides of your choice plus biscuits or cornbread. That's what I like to get there, and depending on the veggies you get it can be pretty low on calories. I'd…

I agree, allow yourself to cheat a little and don't beat yourself up about it! I find that whenever I tell myself I can't have or do something I just want to all that much more. And you could always invite all your friends over to your place and make your own low-calorie drinks like Hungry Girl's Magical Low-Calorie…

One thing that helped me when I was first getting started was to look at food through exercise. For example one of my all-time worst indulgences is a small Carmel Frappe from McDonald's which has 450 calories. (Yes it is a ton for the amount you get, only 12oz!) I'd have to walk 120 minutes at a leisurely pace (2.5 mph) or…

The one I have can be used either way. Right now the battery is dead in my chest strap and I will be going to the store this afternoon to buy a new one after only having used it twice without it. I run/walk for most of my exercise and trying to run and put your fingers on the right place and get it to actually read takes a…

Smoking is a lot about just putting something in your mouth aside from the actual nicotine addiction. I'd try some sugar free gum or brush your teeth to help keep you from eating. I know you said you didn't want to use drugs to help but I've seen things like the nicotine patch and the electronic cigarettes really help some…

I did pretty much the same exact thing you are doing when I first started. After I got my heart rate monitor I also realized I was burning more than I had originally thought. So I'd just keep doing what you're doing until you get it! :smile:

I have heard conflicting reports as to whether or not the same doctor did all of her IVFs. Nadya says yes, her mom says she told the doctor not to perform another IVF on her and that Nadya just went elsewhere, and the doctor will not talk. IF he did do all of them for her (and I think that he probably did) then he should…

This is my favorite cowboy!

I'm in Asheville, NC but originally from Abingdon, VA (about 20 minutes north of Bristol).

You're poor kitty probably has an upper respiratory infection which is fairly common in cats. From what I've read it can be pretty contagious in multiple pet households so I wouldn't be surprised if your other kitty catches it as well. There's not really all that much you can do for him though since the infection is pretty…

After I got back from my holiday times with my family I got on the scale to see what the damage was. :embarassed: Five whole pounds. I figured it probably wasn't really as bad as what the scale was telling me. I finally got my butt mostly back in gear and two of those holiday pounds are already gone. I think the part that…

My birthday is Oct. 31. I'll be 23 this year. When I was born, the doctor that delivered me was dressed up as a vampire. How cool is that? :laugh:

Dear person who cannot pick up their dog poop, We live in an apartment complex. Part of the lease agreement which you and I and all of the other residents signed that allows us to have pets stated that we would pick up after aforementioned pets. Because you (among many others) have not been picking up after their pets,…

Thank you guys! I couldn't have done it without you! :flowerforyou:

into the 160's!!! I feel so ecstatic! And look at my ticker! My little penguin isn't pooping out a heart anymore! Thanks for all of your help and support guys! You all are so amazing! :heart: :heart: :heart:

I'm thankful for -My life, health, and happiness -My caring and wonderful family -My amazing and very loving boyfriend -The cutest dog in the world that is all mine -Working for the government b/c we got an early dismissal today! -And everyone on MFP! You all have been so kind, so helpful, and so inspiring. Thanks for…

I weigh once a week. Usually Friday mornings before I get in the shower. Here's an interesting article I have posted on my blog about why you should weigh less often. Hope it helps! :flowerforyou: Your weight can fluctuate by a few pounds from one day to the next. The adult body is about 60% water, so small changes in…

I agree awesome post. I still have one question though. How unreliable is the estimated calculation of BMR in MFP's tools section? I used that tool to calculate my BMR and its higher than the number of calories MFP recommends for me for the day. Not to mention 1,584 seems really high for BMR. Would you suggest using this…

I just realized something. I've gotta lose more weight so my ticker doesn't look like the heart is coming out of the penguin's butt! lol :laugh:

I prefer to make my chocolate milk a little differently...

Thanks for all of the suggestions guys! I'm definitely gonna try out some of the lotions you've recommended and see if anything will help. :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Lol, I already do that on my feet. Not sure I could stand it on my hands though but I may give it a try. Thanks for the suggestion!

I hadn't even thought about seeing a dermatologist. I'm gonna start looking around for one just in case I can't find relief on my own. And my mom suggested I use regular old Vaseline on them but I just couldn't deal with the greasiness. I didn't know they made a cream though, I will definitely look for that next time I…

Lately my hands have been hurting and burning a lot. I've noticed that my skin is EXTREMELY dry and even starting to crack in places on my fingers. :frown: They're red and chaffed looking. I think its probably due to the cold weather, wind, and millions of hand washings due to my frequent trips to the restroom. I used…

Last night was the Toys for Tots Guitar Jam at the Orange Peel in Asheville, NC. It was absolutely FABULOUS! I had a blast seeing Carolina Rain, Lee Brice (he winked at me!), Jason Michael Carroll, Darryl Worley, and Leann Womack! In ticket sales alone over $10,000 was raised to help children in western NC have a very…

I'm originally from Virgina, but now I live in North Carolina. I do still travel back to VA often to visit my parents though.
