Shoveling - for my MFPals. :-)
Let's see if I remembered how to do this right. LOL So, this is what I'm working on right now. All that high "grass" is zoysia that I've been battling for over 5 years. Finally, I know what to do and digging is the first step. Then it'll be some high grade yard cloth, then construction sand topped with gravel (much of…

Math Class >1lb/wk: Support Group?
Posted this as a status update earlier and some of my mfpals have the same problem: Math class all! So, if 3500=1lb, 1/2 lb=1750; 1/4 lb=875; 1/8=437.5; 1/16=218.75. This means that at 269 under weekly goal, I'll have lost approximately 1/16th of a lb. if I weigh in tomorrow morning. Which also means that at that rate, it…

11 year old boy - ?
My 11-year old son is about in the 90th percentile for weight-height, according to US growth charts. I'm trying to explain to him to watch his portion controls and carbs (he loves bread, bread & butter, etc) and his father is pretty overweight. Add to that, we're both short (dad and I) so, he is too and every little bit of…

Can't get any better than healthy coffee. question: Especially for those who are lactose intolerant or have ibs - do you have any symptoms from the protein mix? Got some for the first time…

April Fools
I decided to be a little bit of a troller today instead of doing my homework apparently and ... well... maybe I'm just socially out of tune or something..... Last time I checked, April's Fool's pranks were supposed to be funny, silly and relatively harmless. Most of the ones I've seen claiming to be April Fool's "jokes"…

Favorite Quotes
What is your favorite quote - whether philosophical or inspirational? One of mine is: "You have a choice--you can either create your own future or you can become the victim of a future that someone else creates for you!" This is so globally true, even for all of us here. What's yours?

Calling all Freaky Weird Competative Type A Personalities
My schedule is gearing up to get stupid and as we all know, LIFE can get in the way of health (total logic there, I know!). So, if you're like me, competition and the opportunity to "one up" someone or even yourself is a huge motivating factor (someone else is always better - just not the same gloating to yourself... "Hi…

What I REALLY like about MFP

You know you're eating right when....
- you take your daily poop and feel like bursting into song "... plop plop fizz fizz, oh what relief it is!" - when your pee is either orange (iron), clear (hydrated), or pale yellow (normal). Any other segment of the rainbow, see a doctor. - when your finger nails don't have people wondering if you have a pick axe for a…

Self-Accountability.. grr.
yeah, okay I'm one of those horrible people that I'm back and forth, on and off, here and gone, up and down...... AAACK! I need a way to hold myself accountable that I will actually stick with. more with the working out than the food part. I can keep within reasonable calorie range if I'm working out. I thought about doing…

HRM recommendation?

Inches - gone but not
Finally, things are moving! First 10 lbs gone - took long enough. Anyway, I've tried measuring a couple of times and nothing has changed; except my face & neck. You can only barely tell. I'd LOVE to see some inches go from my torso, glutes & thighs (upper arms too - ew! and back... and..... ). When do other people notice…

Night Owls
Would you exercise at almost 10 pm? Background: I did workout yesterday, but not today. I've felt.... blah... all day and I can't help but think my lack of workout probably has something to do with it. I really want the blah to end. Additionally, I forgot to take my 2nd dose of medication that aids in smoking cessation…
