OK - what about Alcohol?
Are you picky about alcohol too? I won't drink beer and I don't like wine. I won't go near tequila, scotch or whiskey. Gross. I might drink Amaretto, but it's too sweet and too many calories, so it's very rare. The only 2 things I really can drink are rum and diet cokes or vodka with a mixer. But the mixer cannot have…

Just joined
Hi all! I'm happy to find this group! I really only want/need to lose about 10 more pounds and would love to have some friends with similar goals. Not that I'm against people motivating me, but I'm sick of people commenting on a 0.2 pound weight loss and telling me to "keep my head up" and "the pounds will start coming off…

At this again - need some more friends!
Hey all! I'm looking for some more friends to fill up my news feed. I like to see what others are doing - more people doing things and losing weight - the more motivated I can be! I'm a stay-home mom who loves to cook. Luckily - I love cooking with fresh and healthy stuff as opposed to the junk - though, being from Chicago…

Back after my injury hiatus - need friends
I'm baaaaack! Unfortunately during my time off while I was injured I gained most of the weight back that I lost last year. Instead of spiraling into self-pity, I've decided to kick my @ss into shape. I'm still not injury-free, but there are a lot of things I can do. I need to hold myself accountable for all the things I…

Back again - can I stick with it?
I used this site last year to help me lose about 15 pounds. I got injured and had to take some time off. I've been trying to get back into the swing of things since Jan, but haven't been able to stick. I started again on Sunday and seem to be going strong this time - I've got a trip planned to Cancun for inspiration. I'm…

Journey
This word is so overused it makes me cringe. I wish there were another way. Synonyms: adventure, airing, beat, campaign, caravan, circuit, constitutional, course, crossing, drive, expedition, exploration, hike, itinerary, jaunt, junket, march, migration, odyssey, outing, passage, patrol, peregrination, pilgrimage,…

Eggplant
I can't buy an eggplant without giggling - always think of Jane Curtin in Coneheads. Here's a link for you younglings out there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBYPLF0jDS0 Anyway - who's got a good recipe for Eggplant? My eggplant parm is sofaking good, but only perfect when I deep fry the eggplant before baking. Not so…

What DO you eat?
It seems weird for a self-proclaimed picky eater, but I recently discovered I like spaghetti squash. It will NEVER replace pasta for me completely, but it's pretty tasty if you cook it right, like baked into an Italian dish. Normally though, I'm pretty lame. I eat chicken 1-2 times per day. I try to vary the circumstances…

So happy to find other picky eaters!
I'm allergic to mushrooms and everything in the broccoli family (asparagus, cauliflower, etc.) so that means I have to special order EVERYTHING when I go out to eat. I hate going to fancy places because I'm pretty sure I piss of the chefs and they spit in my food while they say, "That isn't how the dish was intended to be…

Be Happy!
Found a good quote today (it's now in my signature). Be happy to be healthy... don't be healthy to try to be happy :D Life is Good :o )

Semi-formal motivation
OK, so I've been slacking a little and don't have the true motivation I need. I just got some - my hubby's company is hosting a holiday employee appreciation dinner on Dec. 3. I'm shooting for 5 pounds by then - what is that - about 5 weeks? Ugh, that'll be hard for me. But, it doesn't hurt to step it up a bit and try,…

Playing at the park with my kids
My husband and I took the kids to the park yesterday and it made me proud of us. We've never been obese, but there was a time we were a little sluggish. Anyhoo - yesterday we were running with the kids, playing on the slides, and climbing on all the equipment. (We're within the weight limits on everything we did - totally…

Need some sarcastic and silly friends
I need some more friends to keep me smiling and laughing during this process. I don't need the motivation - I'm all good! I just want some people who are silly and sarcastic, to keep me coming to this site, not perky people who blow sunshine up my butt. (Sorry if that offends anyone, lol!) I sometimes need a place to vent…

I'm back and looking for some friends :)
A little about me? I starting using this site January 1 and lost 15 pounds. I'm 5'6" tall and started at 161 pounds. I don't think I have a ton of weight to lose so I don't really need butt-kicking motivation or super-sweet positive reinforcement for every little thing I log. :wink: I got a little sick of the monotony of…

Lunch was super yummy!
I think I'll call it, Quick and Healthy Chicken Stew 6 oz chicken (I used 3 chicken tenderloins, unbreaded frozen) 2 cups Yukon Gold Potato and Vegetable Blend (Market Day, frozen) 1 1/4 cups chicken broth (I used Aldi's Fit and Active) Salt & Pepper to taste I am not a chef, but this was pretty good and really low in…

I'm new - LOVE this site so far!
:laugh: Hopefully I'll stick with the workouts I'm doing. I'm not really trying to lose a lot of weight, I did that last year. I want to get back into working out and watching what / when I eat so my clothes fit a bit better. I am a SAHM with a husband who travels a lot, so my workouts have to be done at home. There's no…
