I've come across a couple things I want to share with you. This first one you may want to try out. My friend Perri from My life in Bits and Pieces posted this and I knew I had to share it. Go here, enter your stats and a full length picture. You can then slide the bar down the graph to see what you would look like after losing weight, or if you want to scare yourself, you can see what you would look like if you gained weight. It's pretty neat - thanks Perri!

Do you make desserts that used crushed oreos for the crust? I seem to make more of these in the summer, making ice cream dessert. I watch for oreos to go on sale. It takes about 1/2 of a regular package to make one crust, so I crush the oreos in my chopper, doing first one half of the package and then the other half. I then package each half in a zip-loc bag. When I need to make a dessert, the crust is easy to do because of the already crushed oreos, the mess is only made once and the other cookies don't get eaten because they are already crushed.
