Woooooo! BOOTY!
This is just a funny story that I wanted to share, and it is also a success (at least I'm choosing to see it as such). I've always had "Da booty" - I've got that small waist/big butt thing going on. But in the past, with all the extra weight, it was just, well, fat. A few days ago, I was at Wal-Mart, and I was loading up…

Mango-Avacado Salad
My favorite salad - Takes some time to cut everything up, but it is delicious. If you're going to a bbq or a bigger affair, double the recipe. 2 Mangoes 2 Avacados Bunch of green onions (scallions) 1/4-1/2 bunch of fresh cilantro 1 Can of organic black beans (optional - I've also used chicken and shrimp) 3 limes In a large…

When it comes to beer
Do you ever buy a 12 pack to try it, not like it, but drink it anyway? Because, ya know, it's beer? I do. I just bought Sam Adams' Octoberfest. I don't really like it. It's okay. And I normally ADORE me some Sam Adams. But I'm drinking it anyway. Because that's how I do.

Using Greek Yogurt in recipes...
A few weeks ago, someone posted about how she was substituting Sour Cream for fat free Greek yogurt. I've done it a few times, and I decided to try it for salad dressing. You see, I love ranch dressing, so I've been buying fat free sour cream and that Hidden Valley Ranch Dips packet and using that. The problem is, the…

Take me out...please...
To dinner that is. Want to know why I LOVE to eat out? It's not the food. It's not the atmosphere. It's not the beer. It's that I can sit down, tell someone what I want. And after a short time, they bring it to me. When I'm done? They take my plate. I don't have to do dishes. Then I started thinking about it: THIS is why…

Anyone else have this problem?
Seriously. It's getting in the way of my life. Who else needs an intervention?

Dear Cellulite...
I want you to know how much I hate you. You are evil and mean and no matter how hard I work out, or how thin I get...there you are. You. Are. Mean. That is all.

I need a good website...
that gives great information on the importance of working out daily. I do work out - every day in fact. I watch what I eat and I'm losing weight. The problem is my SO does not exercise. I'd like him to see the value of it. He is big into research, so the website needs to be reputable. Any help would be great!!! Thanks!

Men...Beauty over brains. Or brains over beauty?
What say you? Would you rather your woman be super hot or super smart. I'm not talking super smart and bow wow. Or super hot but super dumb. What's your preference? I ask because I once asked my SO, "What is it you like best about me?" I was thinking physical. His answer? "Your mind." Yeah. I got all tingly. So? I ask…

HOLY MOLY...
...are people sensitive on MFP. People be yellin and making other people feel bad. Here is what I'm proposing. We ONLY talk about unicorns, glitter, and rainbows. After all - EVERYONE likes those, right? And for the love of GOD do NOT post an opinion contrary to mine, and certainly DO NOT post an intelligent insight that…

Cheating...
Today is my cheat day. I give myself one meal a week. Tonight it's pizza. I'm feeling guilty though. I don't like to cheat on my healthy food. It's been so faithful to me. I don't want my vegetables in my fridge to get wind of my affair with the three pieces of sausage pizza I plan on eating, and leave me. And what will…

So...I wonder...
Anyone else have a really bad, negative internal dialogue? I always ask myself this when I start to beat myself up with negative comments about my body: If you had a friend who spoke to you the in the same way that you sometimes speak to yourself, how long would you allow that person to be your friend? This…

Worst "Compliment" Ever...
Recently someone who is very, very thin told me I was "Voluptuous." She said this after I said, "I know you think I'm fat - you make enough comments about what I eat and how much." She said, "You're not fat. You're voluptuous. That's a compliment." I said, "Voluptuous is the nice way skinny people call fat people fat."…

I'm hungry....
And I'm starting to eyeball house hold items. And the children. How many calories would a small child be? They've been acting wicked, naughty, so this would be a 2 birds 1 stone kind of deal. But I am worried about going over my calories. Are they high in saturated fat do you think? Any help here would be great. :wink:

Not new - But never introduced myself...
I've been on MFP for almost a year - on and off. Just got back on a few weeks ago. I have "number" in my head that I won't allow myself to get to, and a few weeks ago, I was 3 pounds from that number. My pants are all getting tight, and I'm uncomfortable in my own skin. I decided it was time to get back on track. I don't…

To Those Who Are Discouraged
I've read a lot of posts lately from people who are discouraged by their slow/lack of weight loss. I just wanted to throw this information that I learned in my Health and Fitness class when I was in college. My professor told us that it takes 3,500 calories to burn/gain a pound. This is actually quite a lot of calories. I…

Walking...How do I know how fast I'm going?
Quick question. I walk every day with my sister for about 40 minutes a day. I feel we walk very fast, as it's difficult to have a conversation. We also do a couple of big hills. I've been calculating my walk as 3.0 Mod Pace, walking a dog. But I think we are going a lot faster (the dog is panting halfway through). I don't…
