Weight Loss	Feeling grumpy and Im ready to quit !!!!!!	Jan 31 2008 15:59 (UTC)	17
Oh yeah, PMS time for me is SO HARD!!!! I keep a 75% cocoa dark chocolate bar around and have a square or two with a small glass of red wine during this time. I think it keeps me sane. I also agree with PP, are you eating enough? I don't want you to go hungry, dear!
Weight Loss	Anyone in their late 20s?!	Jan 31 2008 15:51 (UTC)	556
Greetings! I'd like to join you gals, if that's alright with you. My name is Amberly, I'm 28, though 29 is rapidly creeping upon me! I've been on Calorie Count on and off for quite some time. I need it yet again, to get ready for the summer. Though, I must admit, with all this rain it feels like summer will never come again! I'm 5'5ish (ok not quite, but almost!) and I currently weigh 138. I feel best when I'm 125, so I'd like to get back there. Then stay there! Can't wait to get to know you~
Weight Loss	HELP! Women only!	Jan 23 2008 16:10 (UTC)	12
It's true, at least for me. I definitely gain a few lbs of water during TTOM. Don't let it bother you. Like others have said, you may just want to back away from the scale during that time. Limit your salt intake and drink lots of water. I love the PMS tea I got at the health food store, it makes me feel better. HTH
Weight Loss	what do i do about late night hunger????	Jan 23 2008 16:06 (UTC)	8
First of all, do yourself a favor and get rid of that pound cake! You are making my mouth water. tee hee! I know what you mean about reaching for carbs, it's always what I'm digging through the cupboards looking for. Chips, crackers, you name it! I think the banana is a great idea. I might even add a small cup of warm milk; it's filling, full of protein and helps lull you back to sleep. GL!!
Weight Loss	Your Food Grades	Jan 23 2008 16:00 (UTC)	3
I think for the food to get an A, it has to be high in nutrients and low in fat and calories. That's why FF ice cream and what not gets bad grades. There's little nutrient value. I use it as a guide, like a PP said, but definitely not as a be all end all food choice making tool. Wild salmon is heart healthier than farmed. Did you get a farmed version?
Recipes	Creative snack/dessert recipes?	Sep 07 2007 23:26 (UTC)	20
I just rediscovered No Pudge brownies. I made a single serving for dessert last night. 120 cals.
Weight Loss	plz help, confused with weight and size	Sep 07 2007 21:38 (UTC)
Not only is every cut of every brand different, but every sigle pair of pants are different. This sometimes occurs because the branded company doesn't actually make the clothes (there are a few exceptions, I know) but send the fabrics out to different factories around the world. So some of it is human err. The only thing that matters is how you feel in your clothes. Ignore the label.

Hey Jazzy! Let me know if you'd like a partner to do this with. We can check in with each other each day. I'd LOVE to do this! ~Amberly
Weight Loss	Cosmopolitan against calorie-counting?	Sep 07 2007 17:03 (UTC)	14
Oh yeah, and Cosmo also tells you how to spend all of your hard earned money on trying to look like their models. Buy this beauty cream and you'll get that guy in your bed. tee hee. Cosmo. Oh they places they'll go.
Weight Loss	Bad Influence Fiance....	Feb 07 2007 16:38 (UTC)	4
Macafiend, I am in the same boat. I can do really really well all day long, but when I get home on the couch with my man we begin eating total junk. I like the idea of logging every bite I eat. Perhaps when I see the number add up, it will boost my will power.
Weight Loss	How are you going to have a Healthy Valentines?	Feb 07 2007 16:35 (UTC)	20
Oh my do I love the chocolate taht comes in the heart shape boxes. Even worse, I'm going to be in Vegas (on business-not fun) with all those fabulous buffets that I simply must steer clear of. Happy V day!
The Lounge	Lost - Season 3 (Feb 7 2007)	Feb 05 2007 16:05 (UTC)
I LOVE Lost, however I've only watched Season 1 and 2 on DVD, so now I must wait long time for season 3 to come out. Sigh.
Motivation	Any Other Future Brides?	Feb 05 2007 15:58 (UTC)	5
Hello Brides! I too am a future bride, June 30, 07. I've been on this site before, and absolutely love it! I can't wait to get into it again. I've added you brides as my friends, please do the same, and let's keep each other on track! Love Amberly
Weight Loss	why...?	Jun 15 2006 16:30 (UTC)	8
does the camera really add 10 pounds? I've never figured out the how and why of it.
The Lounge	Report from my porch	Jun 09 2006 17:21 (UTC)	9
the sun is shining and birds are chirping. The ones with the bright yellow bellies are dashing around in my backyard. My backyard is a construction zone, it's been great to watch BF build a gorgeous fence to contain our new puppy. Life, as they say, is good.
The Lounge	Puppy!!	Jun 06 2006 16:13 (UTC)	2
Thanks for all of the responses, I really appreciate it. I'm really loooking forward to picking her up. I have to wait until Sunday at noon. I don't know how i"m going to wait that long! I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas. I got the book, Cesars Way. It's a great read full of fantastic advice. BF and I both plan of taking her to work with us fairly often, to socialize her, and to keep her from getting bored at home. AND, I'll have a great running partner! I have her enrolled in "puppy kindergarten!" How cute is that? I can't wait... Thanks again

This is such a great post! Thanks for sharing. Congrats to you!
The Lounge	Puppy!!	Jun 05 2006 16:34 (UTC)	13
The owner was laughing? Are you kidding me? How horrific! I supposed I need to learn what to do just in case something like that happens. Fortunately, I'm not a jackass. There's a pit here in town that also has a jackass for an owner. He wants the dog to be scary and intimidating. Jerk-o
Fitness	What do you wear?	Jun 05 2006 16:32 (UTC)	6
I am cracking up. "Look like your running from something...or trying to catch a bus." tee hee. I just started jogging, and I finally found my perfect outfit. I wear an old GIANT pair of long soccer or basketball shorts. I also wear a pair of hipster briefs underneath to keep the butt from bouncing all over the place. (I've actually seen an ad for a butt bra before) I also wear a tank with a built in sports bra by Champion. I got it for $8.00 at Ross. I'm still looking for the perfect shoe tho...
The Lounge	Puppy!!	Jun 05 2006 16:18 (UTC)	15
Thanks guys! BF has built a very large, very sturdy, very high fence in our backyard, so she'll have plenty of space to play with us in. And I can't wait to take her on jogs with me! I've looked into classes, and we'll definitely bring her to some of those for socialization. Luckily I don't work full time, so I'm home most mornings and afternoons. Thanks for the advice.
Weight Loss	Biggest Losers Competitors	Jun 03 2006 17:16 (UTC)	18
Hi Stef! It feels frustrating when the scale doesn't move in the direction you want it to, doesn't it? You can do it. One day at a time. The trend is what counts, and that will go down down down! I'm adding you as a friend, feel free to do the same! ~Amberly

This site is fabulous! It is filled with fabulous people. I've been here since March 10th. At this point I'm down 15 pounds, with 5 more to go. I plan on staying here after that too, to keep those bad habits from sneaking back into my life. Welcome!
Fitness	workout music for iPod	Jun 02 2006 17:08 (UTC)	7
OK, So I went to this site. I opened the running mix window. It plays on my comp. How do I get the mix to onto Itunes? I'm sort of a techie moron.
