Re: Jenny Craig?
Hi, I did JC. I did very well on it. I followed the program, ate the food until I just was too tired of the food to keep eating it. By that point, I had started to eat regular food and was doing very well. I liked the weekly check in with a representative. It helped me to stay on track. I would do i... |

Re: Fall Healthy Living Thread
Hi Ladies, Well, I haven't posted on this thread in a LONG time! Thought I'd come back and try to get back on track! About the time I last posted, I was losing weight, doing pretty well. I've gained some of that weight back and lately, having a hard time staying motivated, staying on track. So here ... |

Re: Anyone interested in a Weight Watcher''s thread?
Hi ladies, I've been off of PS for a long time, reading posts here and there. One thing I loved about PS was the support system so I thought I'd get back in here. I've been thinking about joining WW. I used JC awhile back, lost quite a bit and over the last few years, have gained some of it back. It... |

DandiAndi, your cupcakes look very tasty! The cherry is so pretty on top with the chocolate! Do you put fresh strawberries in your frosting? I have a hard time w/Strawberry frosting b/c it never holds well. In fact, any frosting with fruit does not hold for me. Anyone have any tips? Sunkist, those c... |

Mara, thank you so much for writing out all of that information! I found it very helpful and am still going back to re-read. Thanks for adding milk/buttermilk/sour cream.

So, I''ve never done much cooking or baking until recently. Given that, I don''t know too much about what the ingredients do, and I want to learn.

Mara, thanks for the tips on the choc. marshmallow cupcakes.

I really do want to make my own marshmall... |

Yes, mine is vaccinated. I''ll be honest, never fully researched whether to do so or not, just followed the recommended guidelines. As I''ve gotten older, from all that I hear, the benefits outweigh the risks.. but again, I say this w/o much personal research. |

Icekid, Skippy, and Puffy, thanks for the compliments! They were fun to make and special since for a family bday! Steph, thanks! Fondant, from the little I''ve done, is fairly easy.

Well, I logged off b/c I should be asleep but then I thought about my current back/neck/shoulder discomfort (totally separate from the previous back/leg issues).

Just noticed the hotel is in Rincon. Rincon is a very pretty smaller town. Have you ever been there? Do you specifically want Rincon or are you open to anywhere in PR?
