Do you go to work when you're sick?
Believe me, I understand some people don't get paid if they are home sick. My issue is with a co-worker who has conjunctivitis (pink eye). We are both fortunate enough to work somewhere that gives us 15 days of sick leave per calendar year. I know for a fact she has not missed 15 days yet. She said yesterday she was having…

Sodium! Aggravation and questions
I know this has probably been covered relentlessly in the forums (and I did do a sodium search to see if anyone posted anything like this recently), but isn't it just insane how much sodium is in food? What is really pissing me off is how much they can vary between brand, if it is light or full fat, etc... For example:…

question on mickey D's menu
So I am all proud of myself. Went to Mickey D's for breakfast, got an oatmeal (which was banging, by the way) and a large hot chocolate for a treat. You have to understand I used to eat a breakfast sandiwich and a large frappe, so this is a huge shift for me. I forgot to ask them to use 2% milk. If you don't specify at a…

If the world would end on 12/12/12
So if the world would end on 12/12/12, how would you want to spend that time before the end? with loved ones? partying? asleep? Someone told me Snookie's baby was do and that it was a sign, but I doubt it. How would you want to spend your last moments on earth?

NSV "the ripple"
My husband slapped my *kitten* last night (because I wouldn't stop tickling him) and told me he could tell I lost weight in my butt because it doesn't ripple anymore. What is a ripple, you ask? Apparently my bootie bounced a little. Now he says there is no bounce. yay!

Foodgasm
What gives you a foodgasm? I was eating my chicken sandwich (whole wheat bread, 6 oz chicken breast, ¼ cup shredded cheese) and it was so good it put me over the edge.

sex scenes in movies/tv-too explicit?
Remember in the 80's how you would see them just laying on the bed and then it would cut to the next morning with them both under the covers? Now they show EVERYTHING. Has it gone too far? What is the strangest, craziest, or most inspiring sex scene you have seen in a movie or on TV? I just saw this one on a preview for a…

In Honor of Pete
My hubby has been in the hospital with a bad infection. He has been in 4 days now and will hopefully come home tomorrow. He is doing well. HIs roommate was this tiny man named Pete. He had been a deputy fire chief for 35 years and was sick due to all the asbestos he inhaled fighting fires. He weighed 85 pounds. They had…

Facebook testing out ways to allow kids under 13
I would not let my 13 year old on FB. Do they really need to be on FB at that age? This might not even pan out, but it was a good read. Personally, I will let my 15 and 17 year old on there because they know the risks about writing embarrasing stuff, but my 13 year old still doesn't get that what you put on the internet…

lying about age (possibly) but why?
Question has been answered. Thank you :)

Star Wars/LOTR - Epic Status
My husband and I had a fight yesterday about whether LOTR is an epic like Star Wars. Hubby said Star Wars is an epic while LOTR is just a great movie series where I said that Tolkien is a genius, the books came out before Lucas even thought of Star Wars, and that the movies should have the same epic status as Star Wars.…

does a Sexy body pic
get you more friend requests? Will you add someone as a friend so you can drool over their pics or is it just a nice bonus? I'm curious. For me, I tend to add people when I see what they have written in the forums and on their blogs. How do you pick your friends?

What makes YOU funny?
For me: I am scared of nuns, the Blue Man group, thunderstoms, and heights. I avoid cracks in the sidewalk. I talk to myself. Everywhere. I sing while waiting in line at the store I tend to jump from subject to subject Right now I have "sabotage" from the Beastie boys playing in my head My desk at work is decorated with…

I did it for the first time when I was
21. I watched Star Wars and still think it is one of the greatest movies ever made. A guy I was dating didn't believe me when I said I had never seen it so he put it on while we were making out. I got really engrossed in the movie and kept moving around so I could watch. Eventually I pushed him off of me so I could watch…

I asked for a small
I took my son for his driver's test today and he passed. He was too nervous (and so was I) to eat before so I went to Dunkin Donuts. I really wanted a large coffee coolatta, but I stepped back and realized that would be a terrible choice. So I ordered a small. In my life, I cannot remember ordering anything size "small."…

Greek Yogurt Recipes
Let's face it, greek yogurt is the shizz-nizz. I love greek yogurt, but I am in desperate need of ideas from my MFP pals. We are a creative bunch and while I can search the internet, I am sure the recipes you guys suggest are probably even better. For me, greek yogurt mixed with some seasoning is the best dip ever! I love…

Gained it all back to the last ounce....

This is the 2nd time this has happened to me. I have been excercising, but eating everything in sight. So pissed at myself and more mad that now I have to lose what I…

Trigger Foods: What's yours?
What are your trigger foods? Not just high calorie foods in general, but foods that you can just keep eating and can't stop. For me, it is Kraft Mac & cheese and pop-tarts.

I finally fit in the chair!
I am involved in a Booster's club for my son. I could never fit in those stupid high school desks though. Majorly embarrasing. I would have to sit on a chair at the side. Once I sat on the floor and felt stupid. I stopped going to the meetings I was so embarrassed. So last night I go and....I fit in the chair. Comfortably.…

spare time
Last night, as I watched the one of the so bad it's good 80's movie ever (Commando with Arnold Schwartznegger) I started eating. Then I stopped because I realized I was eating to eat cause I was bored. When the movie was over I could not figure out what to do with myself. Didn't feel like texting, surfing the internet, or…

when I go home, all my good intentions fly out the window!
Hello, my FFF buddies (Fellow fat fighters!). hehehe, if you thought something else, it just proves you have a dirty mind :tongue: Here is my problem. I am having a really hard time with going crazy with food when I get home. During the day at work I am fine. I log all my food and I eat a well balanced breakfast and lunch.…

Question for those who do "spinning"
I tried spinning the other day and it is not my cup of tea. But I do have to ask all of you: does the spin room always dark with disco lights and somewhat of an S&M theme going on?

all I want to do is eat and eat my feelings today-need ideas
I am so sad today all I want to do is eat a big chocolate cake. My grandmother died over a year ago and she was an incredibly important person in my life. This may sound silly, but everytime there was a heat wave I would call on her to make sure she was okay, her AC was working, and that she would stay inside. This is the…

skinny clothes
Does anyone else have skinny clothes in their closet for the day that they hit their goal weight. I stopped buying clothes on purpose cause I would fit in them soon, but I realized that I do have enough clothes from when I was a lower weight in the past to start a new wardrobe when I do hit my goal weight. So, question to…
