I like it a lot better! I have two workout partners though. My husband and a friend of ours. Having to meet someone there is a good kick in the rear to get moving. I find if I say I am going to exercise in the afternoon I find excuses and "better" things to do with my time after a long day at work. It makes me feel refreshed in the morning too.

I also set the alarm to go off 15 minutes before I actually need to get out of bed and then when the real alarm goes off I feel like I cheated and stayed in bed ^^"!

*laughing* I've been vista'd many a time before. I hate you VISTA! That is the best way to piss off the scale for sure!

Something that really cleans me out (tmi) is a spinach banana smoothie. I fill the blender to the top with spinach add a cup of water, blend, throw in a couple of bananas and blend. You can also add other fruit to it like berries and such. I recommend using bananas or mangos in it for consistancies sake in my experience... Be sure to drink plenty of water if you try upping the fiber it will help it move. ^^"

I think they are letting religion play a too big of role in this issue. Also the signs I was seeing around my house were very misleading. A LOT of the signs just said things like "Yes on 8 = Parental Rights" & "Yes on  8 = Religious Freedom" Most signs didn't even say what the ACTUAL issue was they were voting on. It was very frustrating. I obiviously voted no. I am a Christian but I believe that God in his almightyness would not condemn two people in a loving and caring relationship no matter who they were with. But with that being said Marriage to the state is not a religious bond it is a legal bond and there are many benefits that married couples get over domestic partnerships.

As far as the marriages that were performed staying legal I most definately think they should but I can also see a reason as to why they shouldn't because of the fairness of other gay couples. If you were legally married though and had you ceremony and then someone told you that it didn't really count that would hurt A LOT. I am sure I am going to get bashed for some things said here but this is how I feel.

I don't like my cottage cheese sweetened so no fruit for me. I like eating it on english muffins or toast or mixing in some seeds. My favorite though is a topper for a baked potato.. grosses my husband out but its delicious! Throw some steamed brocolli in and its a quick meal if you "bake" the potato in the microwave.

The Calorie Count website is not about fast changes it is about lifestyle changes and losing the weight safely. I have a feeling moderators will be in here soon to say they don't support stravation diets and extreme measures of losing weght. Its not healthy and with so little to lose you probably won't reach that goal realistically in your time frame. Ah, well people will do what they want to do though.

I would do something low impact like eliptical on a setting not too high. I hope you are increasing your Calories though. If you are having trouble fitting all the food try going for Calorie dense foods like nuts and adding oils to your veggies those add up quick and won't make you feel extremely full.  If you want fruit go for a banana they are relatively Calorie dense for a fruit and you can even spread some peanut butter on it.  Yum!

We had our reception at our house via a BBQ and we put out assorted candy in tiered dishes and had little boxes along with it that people could pack their own favorites in. People liked this idea a lot because they only had to take the ones they really liked and if they didn't want candy they didn't take any.

I like to watch the show too but purely for entertainment values as I know it isn't healthy to lose weight the way they are doing. My husband and I always laugh with the do their little promo plugs for cereal and such. That Subway one was hilarious too...

I will ask my husband if I can use Mozilla then.. or something other than IE.. I don't want to mess up the computer and his profession is computers so its best if he does that! I have loaded viruses before without downloading or checking email.. cuz I guess I am just pro like that..

Thanks!

Like right now I am avoiding that scale.. bad scale you stays away from me this week O_O!

I know it will be like 4 lbs more no matter what I do as far as sodium and water intake =/

I take woman's one a day vitamin and give my husband the men's one a day. We also take fish oil capsules.. Two each.. just be sure to factor those into your calorie count since the oil does add about 20 calories from two capsules ;)

I have had a mole completely scab and fall off but then it comes back later.. maybe it never went away but was too light to see.. anyways I went to have it checked and the doc didn't seem too concerned.. it happens every once in awhile to me as well.. i just make sure the moles looks okay like not abnormally shaped and such... but since you are going to the doctor just have him/her look at it to ease your mind ;)

I like Cheerios in PB & J sandwiches.. I also love Cheerios on my ice cream... Its just so oatey good and crunchy ;)

I am sure I have other weird habits.. but they just don't look weird to me. I have been called on the Cheerios thing quite often.. but usually when people try it they agree it is wholesome goodness ^^"

Thanks for advice! It looks like something I already love is on the guiltless menu. I love the black bean burger! I am going to try hard to stick to the plan and bring healthy choices for both potlucks! Wish me luck ;)! Thanks
