It only took 2 months...
Hey there everyone. I have been dutifully logging in my food and exercise here for a little over 2 months. I have been truly excited for everyone who has posted their successes on the boards, despite the fact that I wasn't really seeing much in the way of my own scale moving. But, after reading others' posts, I know that…

need advice from someone in law enforcement
Hi there, I posted a few months ago about my downstairs condo neighbor who had suddenly started acting strangely and erratically (major personality change - wandering around the complex, rocking in poolside chairs for hours at a time, no longer greeting me or making eye contact, having odd conversations/interactions with…

The Flame Broiler...I think I'm in love!!
OK, I may have discovered "fast food heaven" today. The Flame Broiler. Unfortunately, it might be just a Southern California thing...it's hard to tell on the website. BUT, needless to say, this is the very first HEALTHY fast food I have ever found. They serve grilled chicken and steak bowls with or without veggies. You can…

odd behavior advice
hi there. no, this has nothing to do with weight loss, i just need some advice. i live in a condo, which has been idyllic for the past 3 years. last week at a board meeting, the topic of my downstairs neighbor came up. he's young, probably in his late 20's/early 30's, and up to this point, he has been friendly. we smile…

crock pot idea
Hey there, I know most people who use a crock pot absolutely love it. Including me. However, I am gone for 12 or more hours per day at work, and am gone frequently on the weekends. So, the "I-can-just-throw-things-in-the-pot-and-leave" way of using it, doesn't really work well with my schedule, unless I want to have mushy…

earthquake
Hey all, So, I have been dealing with a cold since yesterday. I don't have a lot of energy, so I've been napping a lot. My alarm had just gone off and I had hit snooze (as I often do!) Nothing gets you out of bed faster than an earthquake!! I threw on my earthquake shoes that I always keep by my bed. I was debating which…

Back from Guatemala!
Hello all! I just got back from a 16-day trip to Guatemala. It feels really strange to have been gone so long! The good news is, I only gained 3 pounds!! I was afraid that it would be more, as healthy food was hard to come by at times. I did do some exercise while there: I climbed ancient Mayan pyramids, swam by…

Off to Guatemala...
Hello everyone! I'm off to a 16 day vacation in Guatemala tomorrow. I'm not exactly going to be counting calories there, since I want to enjoy the culture and food! But, I know there will be a lot of walking/sightseeing, so at least I'll get some exercise in. Wouldn't you know, I just came off of a really good 2 weeks of…

remedies for bruises?
Does anyone have any remedies for making bruises go away or preventing them from developing? I know it sounds weird, but I tend to bruise easily. Then, of course, I willingly go to kickboxing, where it is medium-to-full contact...so bruises, scrapes, etc. are commonplace. Although I am proud of my "battle scars"...with…

Delicious Ceviche!
So, it's like 95 degrees here today. I live in Southern California, so my "delicate constitution" is not really prepared for these new global-warming scorchers :wink: !! Anyway, I made a fantastic dinner tonight that's just perfect for a hot day! Ceviche 1/4 lb. scallops, diced small 1/4 lb. shrimp, diced small 1 TBSP red…
