OT: Chuck E. Cheese=Major bummer!
Maybe it's just that sad realization that I'm really grown up now, but I'm very disappointed in Chuck E. Cheese! My husband took a half day off of work yesterday. We went to Navy Pier in Chicago, to the Children's Museum..my girls LOVED it! On the way home we spotted a Chuck E. Cheese and my oldest daughter begged us to go…

Does this sound legit?
For weeks I've been checking the Help Wanted ads in the paper, and yesterday I came across an ad saying that you can make $12-$13 an hour depending on experience for a medical office doing billing. So I called the toll free number and the recording said that it was an in-home setting, you get paid between $4-$7 each claim…

OT--I could use some advice if you have any.
I was adopted at 5 and I never bothered to find my biological parents. I have both of their full names, but that is about it. I have no clue where to even start trying to find them or how. I don't have a lot of money to pay search sites. It's not really that important that I find them, but at almost 25, I'm finally…

Tall girls...goal weight?
I have a question for the taller girls...5'7 and taller. I stand 5'8. I weigh 140. I have noticed a lot of women on here with goals or an actual weight of around 120 lbs. I feel good about my weight, but am questioning if I need to lose more? I have a healthy BMI, I feel good, and I am in a size 5 pants size. Should I lose…

Show me your tattoo(s)!!!
Hey everyone!!! I responded to a post about tattoos a few weeks ago, and it totally made me want to get another tattoo!! I am going next month to get one on my hip.

Does anyone here struggle with ADD?
After many, many years of hating how disorganized I was, how much I lacked the ambition to do well in school, to stay focused on one thing at a time, I had finally had enough. As I was doing some research online, I came across a title that caught my eye. ARE YOU STRUGGLING WITH ADULT ADD? I don't know, am I? After a few…

Fashion faux pas, let's have 'em!
What are they, in YOUR opinion? This thought just sprung into my head as I pondered whether or not to buy a pair of panty hose to wear with my Christmas dress. I came across a magazine article that said that panty hose are SO out and that they are not coming back in!! While I enjoy to be in the latest style for the most…

Ouch! What do you use?
I have TERRIBLE, terrible skin! The ends of all of my fingers crack and bleed, and so do the tips of my toes and heels! It hurts to put on my shoes or do anything with my fingers...button, zip, ANYTHING! I feel like I have tried ALL lotions, from $2 to $15!!!

I did WHAT? Now I KNOW I'm crazy!!
I am pretty much at my goal weight. Give or take a few pounds. I never thought about what kind of an "eater" I was until recently. It has really been a rough couple of months for me, emotionally. And I realized, although I am healthy, and much smaller than I used to be, that I am still a binge eater...when I am EMOTIONAL.…

Thank you
"All gave some; some gave all." Thank you to all the men and women here on MFP (and EVERYWHERE!!) who have fought for our country so that my family may live in freedom. I am SO thankful for your courage. :heart: Happy Veterans Day!:heart:

An emotionally draining month.
Just a vent to my fellow MFP friends. :) This has been SUCH a draining month for me! First of all, one of my best friends just went completely crazy on me...for NO reason. Deleted me from facebook, refused to stop talking to me, or acknowledging my children. And my SON is her GODSON. She refused to respond to any of my…

I wish that...
1.) I could hire Jillian Michaels to come whip my butt into shape. 2.) I knew why my absolute best friend in the entire world hates my guts. 3.)I always knew that I was doing the best job raising my kids. 4.)Money grew on trees. Your turn!! Just a fun little game to release those silly little wishes of yours!! I want to…

How many calories am I burning still? (bf'ing moms)
Hey guys! I took a little hiatus from MFP to see how well I would do without tracking and I think it was a little too soon! :blushing: I put on about 3-4 lbs in about a month and a half or so. I know it's not a lot of weight, and I was out of service for a few weeks after having an emergency appendectomy last month. So, I…

Question for you moms out there...
First off, I have almost lost all of my weight...yay! I was 204lbs when I gave birth to my last son on November 18th, and today I stepped on the scale and it said 148.4!! I have worked very diligently since January 2nd. I am almost to my goal weight. I look in the mirror and I like what I see for the most part...but I HATE…

Microwave popcorn?
Hey all!! Really quick (possibly silly) question about popcorn. I am looking at the nutrition facts on my kettle corn bag and it says that there are 3 servings per every 3 oz bag. There are 2 different calorie labels. It says 150 calories in 2 tablespoons of UNpopped corn. Then it says 35 cals per 1 cup of popped corn. Am…

Is it seriously possible....
To gain 5 lbs in a day?!?! I weighed myself on Friday, scale said 159, even 158 at the end of the day! I have been good for weeks on end as far as eating and exercise go. Yesterday was my "cheat day" so to speak. I'm no good at avoiding bad food when it's around, so I just don't have it around. Yesterday we were…

Tilapia
I'm thinking about making Tilapia for dinner tonight! I think the package says 100 cals per 4 oz serving...can't beat that. However, I need some ideas thrown my way about how to cook it...(and make it test good in the process!!) I generally spray a pan with cooking spray, then squirt some lemon juice, salt and pepper on…
