Halloween Tattoo - advice needed
So my two favourite holidays are Halloween and Christmas (in that order). I'd like to get a tattoo of Jack's snowflake from the movie "The Nightmare Before Christmas". Any suggests on placement? I don't want it to be highly visible when I am at work wearing jeans and a long sleeved shirt. A bit visible (like back of my…

Anyone else suffered from this? WARNING - Very personal
Hi there, I have been suffering from some stomach problems for quite some time that seem to have gotten worse recently as my stress level has increased. Having done some research online I think it is a systemic yeast infection. I have almost all of the symptoms and some of them (such as the headaches, insomnia and…

Back again
Back in the 200s! How did I let that happen?! Stress can be so hard on your body and mind. I'm determined to get back on track. I refuse to buy bigger clothes! My first goal is to get back into the 180s by the end of the year. I also want to work out more since it will also help with stress. I want to find a new fitness…

Any Boxers out there?
Hello, As my journey of healthy living has progressed I have found myself wanting to focus less on the scale and more on specifc fitness goals and trying new things. Last year I focused on running and ran my first 1/2 marathon in October. This year I have decided I would like to learn how to box. I have found a club in my…

How much does beer weigh?
And I don't mean how many pounds will I put on if I drink a 6-pack. I have been in Calgary this week and tried a fabulous new local beer, Big Rock Winter Spice. It has hints of cinnamon and nutmeg in it. It's awesome. I bought 2 six packs to bring home to Ontario with me, but I'm concerned about the extra weight it will…

First 1/2 marathon in 44 hrs!
I can't believe it is almost here. Over a years worth of training has been leading up to race day. I am so excited. I'm really not even nervous about the race. I am more nervous about making sure I get there on time and that I sleep well the night before. I guess being nervous about sleeping isn't actually helpful,…

new photo
So I haven't posted a new photo on my profile in some time. Seems long over due. I haven't seen the same weight loss this last year as teh previous one, but I have definitely seen changes in my body shape, especially training for my 1/2 marathon which is Oct.18. I have had to sacrifice a bit of weight training to make time…

How do you be supportive whe you disagree?
So inspired by the weightloss of others (my mom, me and a friend) my sister has decided to lose weight herself. Which is fantastic! Both my mom and I lost weight the healthy way, eating healthy and exercise. However, even knowing that, my sister has decided to follow the same diet plan her friend did to lose weight. How do…

WOW what a great snack!
Ok so I'm not one to promote a product on here but on my gosh I just had the best snach ever!:heart: It's called sensible foods and it is an all natural dried fruit snack with no preservatives. The one I had is the Tropical Blend with pineapple, mango and banana. It was 80 cals for the bag and it was awesome. It is so…

What would you dip in chocolate?
Ok. So I know this is a bit cruel but I have to ask anyways. I am going to a bachelorette party in a few weeks and I am going to make chocolate fondue and a caramel spread. What do you think I should bring to dip them? I was thinking strawberries, apple, banana, grapes, cherries, marshmallows and pretzels. Any other…

Any one have a Garmin forerunner?
I just won one through work. It's great. Way more features than the nike + and no sensor to replace ... ever. But it doesn't currently have the Canadian maps in it that I need and I'm wondering if anyone else has successfully added maps. I'll try calling support sometime this week but in the meantime I thought I'd ask my…

As of today I am a non-smoker
I just need to announce that I have decided to quit smoking. I need to say it out loud so I will feel accountable to someone and follow through. It seems ridiculous to have changed every other aspect of my unhealthy lifestyle except for this one. So, I've decided enough is enough. It will be hard (since me hubby smokes)…

I'm insulted! .... AGAIN!!!
what the? So, having just gotten married I thought I would do the responsible thing and get additional life insurance and critical illness insurance. So an agent came to our house back in Jan and I filled out all the paperwork. A few weeks later I completed a phone interview where they ask you a 101 questions about your…

Please pray for Loki
Hello, My amazing cat Loki fell in suddenly last night. The vets so far haven't been able to figure out what's wrong as his symptoms contradict each other. He is a great cat. He seems more human than cat most times. We love him so much and can't imagine him not being around. Even though I know he is at the hospital right…

Help a bride to be!
Hi Everyone, I am getting married in about a month and I'm looking for some advice from some fellow MFP people. I went to my bridal shower last weekend and while there I tried on my dress. I was horrified to find that it is a little tight. Now it did loosen a bit, after a while, and I had just eaten like 5 plates of food.…
