Calling all Southern Belle Sweet Tea Addicts
I have found that sweet tea is my habit and addiction! Unsweet tea is NOT an option. I've tried Stevia, Truvia, etc. and it is just plain nasty. I like plain water but I'm having a hard time drinking it plain. I've used real lemons and at least 5 or more Crystal Light mixes. The boxes are taking up so much space in my…

FB 'friend' & losing weight..ugh!
Okay, I have a FB friend that I've known since early childhood. She and I sorta "bonded" over the years because we both have children with a special medical condition. So, we've shared info, etc. She would post just about every 10 mins on FB. Well, a few months ago I noticed her updates weren't showing up in my newsfeed. I…

Just realized that I'm allergic to ibuprofen. I knew I was allergic to Aleve many years ago but this is new. My face starts to swell and break out. Ouch! So, what do you take for muscle pain?

I'm too impatient this week!
I've been going at this longer than I have been a member here at MFP. I've been easy on myself losing steady, not rushing it. I didn't put it all on in a week and I know that it won't all come off next week. For some reason this week has been the hardest yet! I run my butt off (literally, I've lost total 2 inches there,…

Generally, how long do you rest shin splints?
Generally, how long do you rest shin splints? I have pain in the muscle in the calf and in the front of the leg is sore to the touch. I do have brand new fitted shoes that I've only worn 2 times because it hurts so bad I can't run. I was running in bad shoes before and I run on rocky pavement. The old style road underneath…

Zensah Compression Sleeves = A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!
I have hurt myself by running in the wrong shoes for too long. I finally got the right shoes, fitted and all. Much, much better!

How to keep a cat from spraying my back door?!
I have 2 inside cats. Both are females, spayed, and never leave the house. I found another cat roaming the yard the other night and now he is spraying my back door. It is horrible! :mad: He can't see my cats because we don't have a glass back door. Any ideas on what I can put around the back door to keep him from spraying?…

eBay is the devil
Well, not literally. Have you ever bid on something and then decided...nah...and then NO ONE out bids you? Yeah, I'm doing that tonight. I bid on a dress for my daughter and now I've found another one I like better. 58 mins to go and guess who is the high bidder. I NEVER bid early because I like to win it in the last 2…

Madonna's Half Time Show is satanic?
Okay, this website is going crazy on my FB page. I've checked Snopes and can't find anything. I wouldn't put it past Madonna to do things that would be seen as controversial to say the least. Whatcha think? People looking for something to complain about or some truth to it?…

NSV today!
I needed a new pair of jeans for this weekend. The ones I have now are old, well worn, and most importantly a little baggy in the butt. The waist still felt okay. I decided to try on a smaller pair, just to see, and low and behold....THEY FIT! Woo Hoo! 2 new pairs of jeans for me! Luckily for me, they were on sale 'cause…

Started 30 DS shred and not hungry. Do I eat?
Okay, I started 30 DS today. I've been run/walk total 5 miles a day. I have over 400 calories left, most are exercise calories, and I'm not hungry. Should I eat them? I'm sure I'll physically be able to eat them but not sure if I should listen to my body and not eat them. Never had this problem before! :smile:

Too fat for 30 DS
I've been reading post after post after post about 30 DS. Is this something you should start once you have lost a good bit of weight? I still have about 75 lbs to go until I reach the top of my ideal weight range. My question is...Am I too fat to go ahead and try it? I know that I won't have 6 pack abs after a month but I…

Anyone else get grossed out by the toe nail fungus ad?? I haven't search for anything involving a toe nail or a cure. I wish it would go away. The hairy toe makes me want to vomit. I have to close my browser and reopen it because it just WON'T go away until I do! Grr... :smile:

Going to get "real" running shoes, advice?
I'm going in the next couple of weeks to a real running store where they look at your old shoes and put you on the treadmill. Any advice on what to look for in a pair of shoes?

Mail order meat?
I'm guessing this is the right place to ask since it is about food. We have a family member that is literally on the other side of the country and has fallen on hard times. We want to send them some chicken, hamburgers, etc. through a mail order company. Omaha is a little too pricey for our budget. We have looked into…

Measurement ticker
I know we all have the standard weight ticker. We need, or at least I need, a measurement ticker! I've lost 6 lbs (I'm sure my muscles are holding some water from wkouts) but I've LOST inches in my waist and hips and thighs. I'd like to see that in black and white so to speak. I know we can track it in reports, but I'd…
