About a week ago, I asked about ways to use the leftover rotisserie
chicken. Amy Ross and others suggested I make stock and use that to
make soup.
Today, my wife went to the grocery store and brought home a couple of

I feel like I am a compulsive overeater. I know there's a "fat
acceptance" newsgroup, but I don't feel as though I am fat (probably
back to 140lbs now, whereas I was at my lowest at 131 two months ago,
standing at 5'9"). i binge when i feel like i need to "conquer" things.

Went hiking today with my friend Mike & his friend Greg in the George
Washington National Forest.  It was an absolutely gorgeous day, and a
beautiful hike.  It was a 6.5 mile hike with 2200 ft. rise in
elevation.  This climb was virtually all in the first 2 miles, which

Not a very busy day.  I spent that extra hour I gained with the time change
resetting all the clocks in the house and planted some daffodil bulbs I
purchases earlier this
week.  Hopefully they'll come up in the spring and not become food for the

Today was the last "Bike for the Health of It" ride for the year.  In spite
of the cold weather (26F) we had 43 hardy souls turn out for the 14 mile
ride.  It really was a gorgeous morning for biking - lots of sunshine and
zero wind.  The real lure might have been the breakfast ...

Hi everyone and Happy Halloween!
A lot of different things have happened this month, some good - some not so
good. At the beginning of the month I entered the Zeeland Pumpkinfest Chili
Cook-off, something I've always wanted to try but never had the guts to do

Please share your positive OR negative experience with phentermine. I would
love to hear some feedback form those who have tried it?

I've been a soda junkie all my life (I don't have a taste for diet
sodas). More recently however, I've been spitting the soda out instead
of swallowing it. I know it's not too healthy, especially for the teeth
and/or gums to chew and spit out food, but is this acceptable for sodas

Well yesterday was Friday weigh day I lost another 2lbs that makes me 206 a
total lose of 18lbs since 09/01/05. I'm very pleased with my rate. I know it
may slow as I lose more and thats ok.  
We were everywher yesterday. Went to an open house at a farm dealership, my

i have been traveling for a week and a half and have not only been away
from the food that i'm used to and have readily available, but i've
been dining out almost everyday and picking up snacks while i am on the
go (like really rich tuna salad sandwiches and muffins, for instance).

I picked my daughter up from her job this afternoon and headed to the mall
for lunch and some shopping.  I thought I needed a new battery in my Polar
heart rate monitor but unfortunately it's dead :(
This flu is really kicking my butt.  After 3 days on medication I still feel

I'm posting this here because I can't find an "exercise" newsgroup.
Is there anyone here that has a personal trainer?   How much would one cost?
I cannot motivate myself alone to exercise, but if I could have a personal
trainer for three good workouts and weight trainings each week ...

I want to thank everyone here for the help and great suggestions on
making chicken stock. I am going for my first stock this evening. I
have just a couple more questions:
We had baked chicken tonite. The carcass is cooling. Before dinner, I

This ended up being another good week, despite that little mid-week scare
where my weight went up a bit and I felt "twinges of weakness".
The numbers say it all:
* Week 21 / Day 147

After two days of antibiotics, Allegra and plenty of sleep I feel like I'm
ready to join the human race again.  I still don't feel like exercising and
want to save my energy for the last scheduled "Bike for the Health of It"
ride Saturday morning.  The weatherman predicts a low of ...
