Weight Loss	totm..	Oct 19 2010 19:07 (UTC)	4
Wow, Dove, you sound just like me. Everyone talks about wanting chocolate, nope, not me, I head straight for the salty snacks at that time of the month. And sunflower seeds are my weakness especially. I usually don't gain or lose, just hold steady. I make sure to keep a glass of water around all day to sip on to help out.

Original Post by dnrothx: Original Post by beth1342: She also said that the walk from the parking lot made her calves ache! Somehow, I'm finding it hard to blame the large parking lot for this. But, she's the one in shape, I'm the fat one! Plus it doesn't help if you forget your tickets in your car and have to walk back! Haha.

My sister went to Bristol (her hubby is a big fan). They were sitting so close she said the exhaust made her sick. She also said that it was fun for about the first 50 laps and after that she amused herself people watching. She also said that the walk from the parking lot made her calves ache! The only race I want to attend is the Kentucky Derby, just for an excuse to wear a big, gaudy hat. Why can't they make a comeback!?
The Lounge	Smoking	Feb 26 2010 18:22 (UTC)	25
I smoked because it made me feel better. If I was stressed out or unhappy, I lit up and smoked. Ahhhhh, it was so nice. I see people driving by me with their windows down and their cigarettes lit and I am jealous because I can't enjoy that anymore. I quit when I was pregnant. I'm still smoke free, but its so hard. I'm grouchy all the time. And of course, guess what I do to make myself feel better? I eat. I've traded nicotine for food. I'm still trying to find a way to make myself feel better without external stimuli. So far, nothing has worked. Life sucks sometimes, doesn't it?
Weight Loss	How many bags of sugar?	Mar 04 2009 20:18 (UTC)	4
If people find out I'm dieting, they ask how much I want to lose. I usually reply, "About two kindergarten children. With backpacks".
The Lounge	Worst Christmas gift ever recieved?	Dec 16 2008 16:32 (UTC)	22
My sister bought me Jovan Musk for Men perfume. She just grabbed whatever out of the bargin bin and gave them out. I have yet to let her live it down.
The Lounge	I got my babies =D	Sep 25 2008 00:50 (UTC)	16
Very cute kitties! Yeah, we went with the couple names for our cockatiels, and instead of Lucy and Ricky, my daughter somehow managed to call them "Lucy and Icky" instead.

I hope I don't offend anyone but: What do you call a sleep-walking nun? A Roman Catholic.
The Lounge	Anyone else gain weight by playing too much World of Warcraft?	Mar 06 2008 19:28 (UTC)	17
I only play after the babies are in bed, which leaves me a couple hours before I have to go to bed. Hubby still plays quite a bit. I'm more into making WoW machinima than actually playing anymore. :)
Health & Support	Why am I getting mouth ulcers?	Mar 05 2008 18:54 (UTC)	3
I used to get mouth ulcers constantly. I used L-lysine supplements and that always helped, along with Orajel for surface relief. Strangely enough, I haven't had an ulcer since I had my cholecystectomy.
Weight Loss	I hate Girl Scout cookies!	Mar 05 2008 18:37 (UTC)	11
As a reward for meeting a goal at work, a box of Girl Scout cookies was the prize! I didn't even answer what box I wanted, no way was I going to be tempted. It's bad when you're trying to get away from food being a reward, and that is what work is using. While it's nice to be appreciated, I was tempted to e-mail back and say 'Just send me a check for the cost of 1 box and shipping, thanks!'
Foods	Tuna Salad Sandwich Variations?	Mar 05 2008 18:22 (UTC)	20
That's so funny, I just had a tuna salad sandwich for lunch today! I've always made it with tons of mayonnaise (duh). Today, I made it with fat-free sour cream and sweet pickle relish, put it on some whole wheat bread and viola! It was surprisingly good. I've never tried it with mustard, since I really don't like it. I think you'll just have to play around with it and see what you create that you like.
Weight Loss	co-workers look at me funny when...	Feb 28 2008 23:11 (UTC)	88
Original Post by xosugarbabie05ox: " I would never come back with "O god another Burger and gobs of oily fries!!" lol although sometimes id like to You made me snort water out my nose. I'm so using that the next time someone makes some snarky comment.
Weight Loss	Gallbladder surgery stress	Feb 26 2008 00:41 (UTC)	13
Well, I have to say I gained weight after my gallbladder surgery, but only because I had it when I was 6 weeks pregnant! My mom actually lost weight after having her gallbladder removed, she said she felt so much better and ended up getting around and doing more after she healed. Good luck and happy healing! Edit: Did they mention if they thought it was related to weight loss? My surgeon told me that being pregnant plus having lost 30 pounds probably contributed to mine. Gross alert He also compared my gallstones to chick peas. I've never felt the same about them since.
Foods	serving size?!	Feb 26 2008 00:36 (UTC)	1
I bought a set of plastic bowls at the local dollar store for my daughter's snacks to preschool. They have 1.5 cups marked on the bottom, so I now use these as my "portion bowls". When I started eating out of those, it shocked me to realize how much I was putting in my "regular" bowls. No wonder I gained weight! For me now, cereal is not even worth it.

Foods	Keeping my dieting & workouts secrets	Feb 21 2008 21:41 (UTC)	2
I definitely get where you are coming from. I haven't told anyone other than my mother about my current attempts at exercise and diet. I mentioned it to my husband, but I think he's forgotten by now, and just made fun of me for wanting to do it. I can never work out when he's home, anyway. For me, admitting I'm eating healthier and/or exercising brings out those "oh, but you look fine!" comments. When you say you're quitting smoking, or drinking, nobody says "oh, you don't need to. Light up another one!". I hate to hear people that I thought truly cared about me lie! I don't look fine, I look fat and unhealthy. It's not a matter of 10 vanity pounds, we're talking about 100+ here. That's 2 kindergarten kids! With backpacks! So, Ntebo, tell us all your ups and downs and know that we totally support you, because, hey, we've been there.

Okay, I know I'm strange...............but Patrick Stewart (Jean-Luc Picard - Star Trek:TNG) is the hottest bald man ever. I lusted after him before I knew what lust was. I also adore Tim Curry's legs in Rocky Horror. If only!

New Members	Looking for buddies! 27 Female with 60+ pounds to lose	Feb 07 2008 19:28 (UTC)	31
Julieann, I know exactly what you mean about the back burner!. Between kids, and spouses, and family, and work, and this, and that, I found it hard to justify taking time to "exercise". But, you know, I figured it out. I'm no good to anyone feeling fat and depressed, and being tired! I quit smoking before I had my babies, and never looked back. But, now, since I've been cutting out my "comfort food", they are beckoning me! Sara, you are such an inspiration! Tell us what kept you motivated and your best tips, I'd love to hear them.
