Glad you liked it! Like I said it's a favorite family snack, I have one lil bro who eats it all the time, evidenced by bowls and spoons with pb residue on them by the computer, on his dresser, in or under his bed, you get the idea. LOL  It's simplicity is one of the great things about it.

Ok I don't feel quite as bad now, LOL.

I think I will definetly be wiring a key to the bottom of my car, very good idea, thanks to all those who suggested or mentioned that. I put a spare key in my purse already too :)

So Joy Division isn't the gothest of the goth but they definetly had an influence on gothic rock and are listened to by many goths. My parents however wouldn't really care about how goth they are or aren't.  As for how people lock their keys in the car? I throw them in the center console instead of my purse (usually happens when I'm in a hurry) and voila!

There is no such thing as a dumb question. Or at least thats what our teachers tell us. I personally think there are some dumb questions. Your question, however, is not dumb. Sweat is liquid so weight that you sweat off is water weight. Or so I've been told.  You might burn a few more calories though because its a little harder to move when you are wearing lots of layers.

Snow, snow, snow, yeah its no fun when something like that happens. A week or two ago I was going to the book buy back at the community college cause I still had a few books that I'd never gotten around to selling. I was always busy on book buy dates or forgot about them. Anyways I finally remebered (probably becasue I needed the money to buy books at the college I'd transfered to) It had snowed a ton and we'd shoveled our driveway of course so we had a clean driveway with rather largish snow piles on either side. So I get to the end of the driveway and there this big pickup truck there with a snow plow on it. I gently tap my horn to alert the guys in it that they were blocking my driveway and I needed out. One of them jumped out and came over and told me they were broken down. Just perfectly totally blocking my driveway but they were off the road. So my only option was to drive thru the piles. I figured if I got stuck those guys could push me out since it would kind of be their fault anyway. I backed up, got some speed going and plowed thru just far enough to get my front tires on the road which was enough to pull me thru the rest of the pile. I was a little ticked off at them though but not as ticked off as I am at Al Gore the inventor of the stupidest hoax ever, global warming. The temperature at my house is an even 0 farenheit. Its not like I live in Alaska either.

I have a sister like that. She's like 5'8 and weighs around 120 I think and she eats like a freaking horse. Like she'll eat a whole bag of bagels for breakfast with plenty of butter, and two bowls of soup and a bunch of chips for lunch, and a huge heaping plate of spaghetti for supper with loads of parmesan cheese and a piece or two or three of garlic toast And shes still all bones. She doesn't work out and isn't even very active.  If I ate like that I'd be as round as a barrel, seriously. She calls me fat but I actually consider myself luckier than her cause I have a lot more friends and am just a happier person. She only really has three friends cause she is so incredibly selfish and doesn't get along well with anyone. I'd rather be plump and happy than skinny and like that. Sometimes I do get jealous but I remind myself of all the other things that I have better.

Nene Congratulation on your first dates! How did they go? I'm hoping that maybe I'll go on my first date sometime during this quarter.

Jessica I'm sorry about your nana.

I really struggled this weekend while I was at home and unfortunately lost. Both Saturday and Sunday I ended up eating way more than I should and so of course I gained weight. I gain weight so fast its not funny. Its really frustrating for me to do so well while I'm at school and then totally fail at home.

I won't be starting classes until the 13th, although I'm leaving for school tommorrow because I start a work-study job on tuesday and I have paperwork to do before I can start working. The classes I'll have are Intro to Vet Tech and Animal Anatomy and Physiology and their respective labs.

Well since you are trying to lose weight it might be better to have a grandma like that. My grandma is the sweetest lady on earth and the best cook too so having her for a grandma is not conducive to weight loss. You should just tell your Grandma, "Yes I am overweight, and I'm trying to lose weight, you can help by encouraging me!!!"

But my meanest relatives are my immediate family, they call me fat and then tease me about "going on a diet"

Now I think I see the whole picture of what's going on with me and my family. Sometimes it is just a matter of my control but other times it is like force feeding, my mom will say everyone has to have a bowl of soup and if I try to refuse it becomes a big fight. That's what it was like for me today at lunch but I was able to sneak out of it.

Hi and Happy New Years Everyone!

I'm pretty new to the website and just found this group, which I would love to join. I think I'll fit in here pretty well. I'm 18 and in college and I've always been somewhat overweight. Right now I'm 157.5 at 5'6", I weighed 180 in June. The low 150's have been my plateau for the last 5 years. I'll get there before I gain all the weight back and ususally more. I was there before Christmas so right now I'm trying to beat the trend.

Like quite a few of the others in this group I've never gone on a date or been kissed. My friends and I were never allowed to date and so now I'm in college and could if anybody ever asked me but I have no idea what I'd ever say. I think being homeschooled left me a little undersocialized, especially when it comes to guys.

Hi! I'm new also. I just read the "unofficial" guide to calories counters plus at the top of this forum section and it explained that along with a lot of other things. You might want to check it out :)
