Kate - do you think I could use Oreos? I have no problem with that - yum yum. I've just really been enjoying cooking/baking in the last couple of years so I am a bit of a novice. So when a recipe calls for something specific, I am a bit lost sometimes when I can't find that "specific" thing.

I am making a cheesecake that has a chocolate crust. The recipe calls for crushed chocolate "wafers." The accompanying picture shows the crust to be quite dark so I don't think they mean cookies, like Oreos, or do they? I went to the store and got all of my ingredients but those. I thought...

Happy Birthday Jodi! 29 is a great age :D!!!

Count me in! This rut is sooo bad! I am determined to do something today. Even if it is taking my boys out and playing in the snow. We've been buried here in almost 4 feet of snow for the last week and a half. Before that, the two weeks before, my youngest was sick for several days, then my...

I can't for the life of me even find the slightest hint of motivation to work out. I am eating without a thought and not thinking or caring about tomorrow. I don't dare get on the scale. How do I talk myself "off the cliff?"

I participated in the fun. I thought it was a spoof on internet forums especially since it was started and directed at people who have been really fun on this forum. So because I thought it was in pure fun, I am somehow a bad guy for participating? And because this was already brought up, I...

Yeah - I surf the web and participate in forums for fun! Not to mention, isn't the average age on this forum forty-something?? That tells me that we are all women that have seen and been a part of life's not so great things or moments so we come here to vent, share and have fun.

I found you....insert freaky music here..... I think a major problem with email and the internet is you do not hear the inflection in someone's tone. So someone on the internet may ignite anger in you but the same person could state the very same thing to your face without a bit of anger and...

Cindi - start a topic. I'll respond, even if it is something I don't know anything about!!!

Rumor has it that it might have been about Warren Beatty.

What Road Trip is that photo from?

Ditto Ellie!!! That is exactly what I am doing as well!

I am always embarassed to talk about the books I am reading on this forum because I have been doing nothing but reading fluff for a while now! I just read my first Marian Keyes book. Yep - not rocket science material but it was entertaining. I do love to read though but with my little guys...

And Miss Lee - how could I forget her? And Liann?? And so many more..... I guess my point being - I think there are really fabulous people on this forum. Some are more direct, some brutually honest, some very sweet and the list goes on, but as Amy said - that's how it is in life with...

What great achievements. I am sure that relocating is scary yet exciting. Good for you that you made positive changes in your life. Hearing stories like yours helps and inspires the rest of us. Thanks for sharing!

Not turning this thread into a "rah rah" session for some of the forum members but I left out fitnessfreak when I mentioned the people who were very active on the forum when I joined in. Her genuine interest in helping others reach fitness goals and her overall personality is again, one of the...

Powder Puff is right. They are totally different. I think Cathe's Shock Cardio is designed to have different types of cardio and different intensities so that you are always changing it - hence the reason it is called Shock Cardio. They say if you continue to do the same thing over and over...

Call me stupid but I participated in that thread for some light-hearted fun. I was in no way wanting to poke fun of people. I guess I missed that. I think anyone could read my posts and know that I am not a bully, not at all. My personal life is particularly dark right now and sometimes I...

Kariev - I hear ya'! I am doing the binge-thing as well. My back went out again terribly the 2nd week of January and some very stressful family things are going on that causes me to stress eat. I have put 10 pounds on since January 1st due to binge eating. I do well usually throughout the...

I remember this as well as the Boone's Farm. My favorite was Tickle Me Pink - wasn't that a name of one of theirs? Oh my ladies, we are old enough to "remember when....." I am going to refrain from telling you how I walked to school, 5 miles with barefeet, uphill both ways......
