Panera group soup
ok so I can find the nutritional value for 13.5 oz of chicken noodle. But I'm wondering if anyone knows how many oz are in the large group serving container. I'm sick and that is all I have been eating today. But I didn't measure it out.

I can't believe that worked!
I am a believer in the basics when it comes to diet and fitness. Some cardio, heavy lifting and calories in vs calories out. However, every now and then I decide to try something different just to see if it makes a difference. So a few months ago I decided to cut out almost all dairy. I had no change in weight. But my skin…

Calling all Scientists
With so many 'MFP scientists' out and about I was just curious as to how many actual scientist are lurking. If so what is your field of study and current concentration. Me - BS Biology and MS Biochemistry..currently working for a Notified Body with a specialty in In-Vitro Diagnostics. And way too lazy to go for my PhD…

Yaz ladies?
Anyone here take Yaz and have it covered by their insurance company? If so who is your insurance through? My IC is trying to force me into taking the generic Gianvi. I have no interest in in switching, mainly because I don't trust the stabilizers used in the manufacturing process. Any input? Otherwise I am going to suck it…

Where are they now? MFP edition.
Bumping old threads is fun, but it has me wondering about former famous (or infamous) posters. I really want to know if the girl that wanted to be an Olympic athlete ever found the easiest sport to get into? Did she follow through? Is she training? If you are out there please update me. Who do you want to know about? Where…

Challenge Issued
An MFP user Matt_Wild posted some excellent progress pictures of his fiance. I read every single response. And while the majority of the responses were supportive. There were more than a few criticisms of her body. Mainly stating 'I wouldn't want to look like that...no offense'. So here is my proposal. I challenge anyone…

Are you freaking kidding?
OkCupid has some ridiculous questions. But someone wrote to me and one of the questions he answered was: "If you discovered your perfect partner had a sexual attraction to children, would you leave them?" WTF? I don't know whether to be more disturbed by the fact that they ask the question or that his answer was 'no'. Why…

Pantyhose AKA Enemy #1

(bonus points if you get that reference) Tonight I am taking my new Pour La Victoire pumps out on a date. Do I suck it up and…

Online dating 'body type'
Ok I will make this short and sweet. If someone says their ideal body type is 'athletic and muscular'. And I am only 'average'. Do I bother to answer? A little backgound - I sent someone from eHarmony my '5 questions' and one of them was 'what body type do you prefer in a partner'. Thoughts?

'Vampire Academy' sounds so stupid!
Seriously. How could they give such a silly name to such AWESOME books. I was sucked in. I couldn't think about anything else. I just finised the last book and I feel lost! What the hell am I going to read now?? Between waiting for the last 'Mortal Instruments' book and the last 'Divergent' book I may just go insane.…

OK so the time of year has rolled around when I start waking up depressed and have trouble falling asleep. This year I want to buy a therapy light. Anyone have any recommendations? There is so much conflicting information out there. I would love to hear from anyone that has had success with a particular device. You will…

Horrifying Experience - warning...gross!
Today something happened to me that I may never recover from. I feel the need to share the terror with my MFP pals. I was in my yard playing with my neice, nephew and my son. It was pretty sunny and we had taken the umbrella from the table a few days ago during a bad storm. I decide to put it back in place. It was lying on…

Could you do it?
I have been 'stalking' this really cute guy. Well we talked and exchanged numbers. He has 4 kids! Clearly I'm a craptastic stalker since I am just now getting this info. I just can't seem to get my brain around it. I don't really like kids. I love my son but other people's children scare me. Plus I have been a step-mom and…

Stalk much? - Drama for you guys!
A few weeks ago I posted about a guy at my gym that I went out with. He couldn't stop talking about babies and marriage during the one and ONLY date. Well fast forward a few weeks I finally decided that the text messages and constant asking me out for another date were not going to stop on their on. I was nice but honest…

Zero wisdom teeth
Someone posted a thread about having all 4 wisdom teeth removed. I didn't want to hijack her thread so.... Anyone else not have wisdom teeth? Like as in never did? I didn't have any. X-rays show that they just didn't exist. Are there any other freaks of nature out there that didn't have them? I always say I was just wise…

Collagen
Hey guys. I am looking for feedback from anyone that has taken collagen. My knee is starting to sound like I am cracking walnuts. Spin class sucks! I already take glucosamine and chondritin. Just wondering if there is more I can do to keep my old lady joints in tact a bit longer.

It's like Im in 8th grade!
I went on a date a few weeks ago with a guy from my gym. It was nice. We actually had a lot of fun. But as the weeks have gone by he is killing me with the text messages and phone calls. The more he calls and texts the more I am annoyed. At the gym every day he tells me I am beautiful and gorgeous. Great but that is ALL he…

Sexy stuff!
Ok ladies I need to know where you buy your sexy (not slutty...ok maybe a little slutty) clothes on-line. I usually hit up Victoria's Secret for a few low-cut tops and sun-dresses. But I don't like what they have this season. So what sites do you like for well-made clothes. I hate flimsy cheap material.

First Date Since Divorce
Hi Guys! So I promised an update on my date. It actually went really well once we got through a few snags. It felt like the gods were conspiring against me. He chose a great French bistro on the Chicago Gold Coast. We had 7:30 reservations and I wanted to give myself ample time. So I leave my house at 6:30pm. At 7 I am 5…

Match.psycho
So I got this really long email from some guy on match explaining why he is separated. I actually planned to answer him with a nice reject but I didn't have a chance to because a few mins later I got his second email with more details of his divorce. At this point I am thinking maybe ignoring him is the best. Then I got a…

First date
So this guy I met on match seems pretty decent. Our conversations have been easy and fun. We seem to have a lot in common. I was really looking forward to our first date. And then it hit me. This is the first date I have been on in years. First date since I met my ex husband. I was a dating pro when I met him. Now I feel…

You work out to what???
One of my 'gym buddies' and I were chatting before spin class and he looks at my ipod and asks me..."so what are you working out to". I told him I has paused it on Tool but really I was listening to Brittany Spears 'Toxic'. Its my all time favorite workout song. So what's on your ipod that you would lie to hide?

PoF - 24 hours later
I made it a whole 24 hours on plenty of fish.com before I decided to delete my profile. I take back what I said about Craigslist. PoF is the trailer park of dating sites. I wish I could share the responses I got. But really...I dont think you guys would believe me. Or maybe you would which is even scarier.

Out of the mouths of babes..
Comes humiliation and embarassment for their mothers. I was in the grocery store check-out line with my (almost) 2 year old. There was a very large woman in a bright yellow coat in front of us. He points to her and loudly yells 'BUS?, BUS?, BUS? Over and over. 'Mommy...BUS'. I tried to distract him. I tried to pretend he…

Why am I single?
Ok - Maybe its the beer talking. No. Its definitely the beer talking. But do you ever ask yourself WHY you are single? I mean seriously. Im fairly intelligent. I even have a few degrees to back that up. I think Im cute. Hell I clean up AMAZINGLY. I have a fab job. Im not even THAT crazy in terms of crazy b!tches. I think I…
