Boxer "head bob?"
Last night after I got home from work, I let my dogs out, and they come inside, and do their normal "post potty nap," like always. About 30 minutes later, the 2 year old male boxer did a weird, head-bobbing type of action, like he was shaking his head "no" for about 30 seconds. He didn't seem to realize he was doing it,…

Would a stool softener help?
I've been doing very well with my diet recently, and occasionally going over slightly on my fat, or protein, or sodium. My diary is open for you to see. I've also been using the scale here at work for the past 6 months, and noticed a drop in my weight. (Plus side). Another plus: I just bought a scale for my house this…

Never fails at work....
Throughout the evening, people are heating up their dinners, snacks, etc..... and most of it smells SOOOO good. Every now and then you get the "Burnt popcorn" people who kinda ruin the moment..... or the ones who have tuna, to where it makes you think someone didn't shower today..... But then.... there's that one person…

Ok... need help finding a birthday gift for a 6 year old gir
So, it's a little obvious that I don't have children, otherwise, I would be "cool" and up to date on all the neat things that are going on with kids toys and tv shows. My little neighbor girl will be celebrating her birthday this weekend, and I want to find a gift for her, but I don't know what 6 year old girls like! A few…

Ugh. For real???
Saturday, during group date night, I ended up biting the ever living hell out of my lip during dinner. Afterwards, me, being the complete tardo that I am, kept biting the area around where I'd already bitten it. Sunday, at Skyline, I ended up biting my lip in the same spot, even after chewing on the opposite side of my…

Maybe a very stupid question.....
When you guys cook with spices, say, Cinnamon, for example, and it has a caloric amount, do you log it into your foods? I was shocked that there's 17 calories in a tbsp of cinnamon!

Pandora radio. A joke.
Seriously contemplating sending them this email: I've personally selected an 80's hair metal station. So far, you've shown me nothing but... well... Motley Crue. And Poison. I was born in the 80's, so I'm pretty damn sure there were more bands in the 80's except for those two. Granted, I've seen both in concert, and I…

Picnic!!
So, the hubby and I are going to have a picnic in the field next to our house this weekend. I'm trying to think of easy side dishes and things to make for the picnic, but I'm just drawing mind blanks. I'm setting up a small table and bringing lawn chairs, and our little 18 inch propane grill to make everything on. I'm also…

Think I lost a friend today....
I posted on my fb page today about how I wanted some chicken wings, and how good they sounded. But, obviously, I didn't act on that. If I go to my favorite wing place, I'd get the wrap, which has 4 pcs of boneless wings in it, a salad (pretty much), and a tortilla wrap. Ranch Dressing is optional on the side, and I'd…

Does anyone feel that their "Target Range" is too low of a w
For my height, which is 5'3", my ideal weight is between 104.1 and 141.1. I was 140 lbs when I graduated high school, but my ultimate goal is 150. I just feel that 140 might be a bit too ... I don't know.... like I'd look "sickly." Ever see a person who used to be bigger, but after they lost weight, they just look sick??…

issues with lap band
I've had the lap band for 2 years. I wasn't very successful with it, especially when I found out that I had a leak in my band, and surgery to repair it isn't covered under insurance. I turned to MFP for help, and it's worked! unfortunately, with weight loss, I should be needing a fill to stay tight, but this isn't the…

Music that keeps you motivated to move!
I'm just wondering what's some of the songs/artists on your playlists to keep you moving and exercising. I'm in need of some new material on my current playlists. Maybe we could get some different ideas from people's lists? (just a thought!) Some of the artists I have are: (* means A LOT of their songs) *Alice in Chains…

Looking for healthier ideas for a Sunday Family Dinner
My brother and husband aren't really on the weight loss kick that I'm on.... so I was just wondering to anyone who's in the same situation that I'm in..... What do you guys do for a Sunday Family Dinner? We all try to have dinner on Sundays as a family to reconnect since we all work different schedules and see how each…

It's a little victory, but a victory nonetheless!
I've been hovering bad in the size 16 jeans that I've had for almost a year. Today, while going thru my closet, I found an old pair of size 14 jeans, and thought, "well, let's see how much more I need to do to fit into these bad boys...." HOLY COW! I FIT! I have a slight muffin top, but WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!!!!! I'm in them!…

New Sixx:AM Cd... "This Is Gonna Hurt." Who got it?
Just have to ask since I haven't been able to get it today.... I'm dying! I'm such a big fan of Nikki's work (writing, photography, music),... And it kills me to have to wait until Friday when I get paid to get the CD! Did anyone pick it up today???

I've been here for a while, just never posted!
Hello! My name is Kelly, obviously ;) I'm here because I'm a lap band patient, and I found out about 2 months ago from my surgeon that I have a leak in my band, and it's not a surgery that's covered under my insurance. So, I can either pay the $8K to have it fixed (and possibly have it happen again), or I can really stay…
