@KrisiAnnH, awesome and good luck!
@LBuehrle8, so excited for you getting your passport...one step closer to seeing your man!
@Francl27, you should post a picture of your new haircut! I bet it looks better than you think!
@MoHousdon, I really hope the talk with the stepdaughter goes well and you can put this whole mess to rest, find a nice home for the cat, and rest and relax before your (much needed) vacation!
@FroggyBug, glad to hear that he is willing to get help...hopefully it all works out for you two. Fingers crossed.

So sorry this is still happening. WW never worked for me and we don't have SW here in the states, that I know of. It sounds like you're doing everything right, so thinking it would be a good idea to see the doctor again. Did they check your thyroid and vitamin D levels last time? (Hugs)
I don't think they checked vitamin D. Thyroid was all normal, blood sugar levels all normal and cholesterol was down to normal from last year. I recon I have stubborn fat cells. Makes sense, I'm stubborn by personality lol thank you for the hugs, I could do with a squeeze.0 -

I love microwaved string cheese! Especially when part of it gets crunchy! Yum!
yes yes yes!
I eat a lot of string cheese and have never thought of microwaving it...now I will try it later today. How many seconds do you microwave it for?
I do it for about 30-45 seconds. Enough for it to be completely melted and the edges start to bubble a bit.
For reference, this is how "done" I like it to be. Sprinkle a little coarse salt on top...heaven.
So, was this string cheese? Or sliced or shredded? Looks yum!0 -
I only eat the unfrosted ones...but only because the frosting has gelatin (or at least it used to...haven't checked recently) and I don't eat gelatin!kellienw335 wrote: »

Yeah, cause that makes them so much "better"!
Well, I'm the freak that likes the unfrosted strawberry ones so what do I know about things that taste good?! A toasted Pop Tart is far superior to an untoasted one for sure. I'm very stingy with my calories so I've only splurged and had them once. I still have a package sitting in my desk that I brought to work several months ago. Unopened.
Our local grocery store has awesome generic ones that are apple cinnamon and they are awesome untoasted!

Nobody else is having the issue? It's the same thing that happened a few weeks back for me... now the thread is almost on page 2 and it doesn't update in my favorite list anymore.0 -

@BZAH10 is having the problem too, I think.0 -
@Just_Ceci I want to thank you for suggesting the trial contacts. I am on my second round and I think they may work. The doctor ordered 2 more trials but I won't get those until after I get back from vacation. Also, I can't believe how thick the Toric lenses are. I was pretty proud of myself for being able to put them in and take them out without issue after no having had contacts for more than 5 years.0

What is your current routine? Have you thought of changing it up to do some Crossfit or weight training, cycling 
.... or anything HIIT to really kick it up a notch?
Also, I would seriously consider taking measurements and use that as a base for comparison rather than a number on the scale. Heck I don't even measure. Once every 2 weeks I gauge myself by trying on clothes I know are too small. Regardless what action you take, good luck.
Uh, training is
Sunday - 60min swimming
Monday - strong lifts at lunch & 30min jog/walk
Tuesday - 45 min swimming
Wednesday - strong lifts & jog/walk
Thursday - 45min swimming
Friday - strong lifts & jog/walk
Saturday - maybe a jog/walk if I feel like it.
I do measure, but every 100 days. I'm due one in 30days lol I find it disappointing if it is any sooner
Edit: my jog/walk is after work, before dinner. Not straight after strong lifts. I think I would die if it was straight after0 -

This was a couple of slices off a small block. If it's actual string cheese I cut/rip it in quarters (once length-wise, once width-wise) and lay them down to make a little square on the plate pre-melting.0 -
Just dropping by to say that there's a german word that means the extra weight gained from emotional eating, and it literally means "grief bacon." I love german.0

Isn't @m1xm0d3 a girl?
I thought he was the single dad cyclist...? Am I confusing/combining people?
Yes, he is the single dad cyclist.
I confess since he rarely talks about 'male things' (I am sure because of us) I think he is male as well. And I am SURE he will be thrilled we ever questioned it. We love you @m1xm0d3! Don't leave us!
This cracked me up... I will forever think of him as mixmode now!
I too hope he's not offended and leaves! I know he's busy at work, but I hope he appears again. Also, I "read" letters as numbers sometimes, so "mixmode" is exactly how I read it, also.
You got it! I am thick skinned so no I won't leave until something like graphic discussions on enemas starts becoming the norm around here or something.
Eeew I think I'd be leaving as well!
Ditto! @Lois_1989 I read your post a few pages back about the exercise and activity issues you have with your SO. It's great that you have each other and he's willing to be active! However, balance is important. Right now, I don't have any suggestions on that topic, but I'm wondering if you can spur your weight loss with you diet instead. Do you both eat the same things? Is he helpful and flexible as far as that goes? IF may work for you, but it seems to me that you are active enough, but maybe some food intolerances are causing issues? IDK. Just trying to help!
I have been thinking the same thing recently, but I wasn't sure if something like that would affect weight loss?
Oh, my SO is very difficult to cater for. Don't get me wrong, he has improved greatly in the last 7 years, but there is no way in God's green earth I will get him to eat a salad. Or chicken. Or fruit. Or fish. Generally there will have to be some sort of sauce involved. He is willing to try bless him, particularly in the last year or so because I've been getting upset about it.
I'm not going to promote a certain way of eating or anything, but I've been tested for intolerances, tested negatively, but STILL feel better when I eliminate them from my diet. After a huge dietary overhaul about 3 years ago I feel like a new person and my entire shape has changed (along with lifting).
It's trial and error. Sticking with something long enough to see if it actually works is the hard part.
And, other than fruit and vegetables, there are NO foods that my husband and I eat the same of. He's meat, potatoes, bread, tortillas, butter, cookies, cake, etc. I'm a pescatarian and it's been quite a transition, but we eat completely different meals. He's responsible for him; I'm responsible for me. I know that seems bad to some people and it doesn't work for everyone, but my personal health is more important than upholding a traditional role in marriage. Also, I DO cook for him. He buys the food and lets me know what he wants and I make it. I also still make large family dinners.
(tried to do spell check on "pescatarian" and it tried to change it to "caesarian")
Oh I'm pretty sure that would be a bad move. He will probably live off cereal, beans on toast and take away.
We don't have our own kitchen unfortunately. We live with his mum and sister so food storage and food prep is very limited. It sucks.0 -
Hey no worries @WestCoastJo82 its a phobia that Glinda has pretty bad I think I just didn't want her to see it and freak out 0

@lbuehler89 And only a few months to go!
My only experience with unfrosted Pop Tarts comes from when I was younger. Frosted strawberry was the only flavor she'd buy because the others were too "unhealthy". Her restrictions completely turned me off strawberry Pop Tarts all together. I do want to try brown sugar cinnamon though.
I don't think I'm having any issues with the thread.0 -
Yeah, I'm having the same issue with the thread. I'll report it to Olivia.0

Oh, that's right. I remember now about the kitchen sharing thing. I'm very impressed by your workout routine! That's why IMHO you have the exercise part of it down. So the only other thing I could think of was dietary. Hope something works for you soon!0 -

Ok the thread doesn't seem to go to the top again? This needs to be fixed ASAP.
Yeah I went to the gym after and had a shower and it looks better now (sort of. My hair is always a mess).
Honestly I want to grow it but every time it gets past my shoulder I'm totally over it and end up getting it cut. Plus I get split ends like crazy.
Yeh! Glad it's getting better for you 0 -
I want some grief bacon but without the grief.0

@MoHousdon that is one awesome truck - thanks for the pictures!
I think this every time she posts. Thanks for saying it for me.
You're welcome for the pictures. It is a pretty sweet ride.
Aww thank you so much that's made my day! It's faded a bit now but I'm dying it brighter in the hopes I stand out in the interview and they'll remember me haha

Why thank you! I am trying my hardest. I don't think I've ever tried this hard at weight loss before. My dad said I look slimmer today when it was brought up, but my brain just computes this as encouragement not truth. Terrible I know, I'm not good at compliments.0 -

We have the cinnamon & brown sugar in Oman, but not in Saudi. It's amazing. Probably my favorite flavor! I haven't tasted a huge amount of flavors myself, though--we only get untrusted strawberry and unfrosted blueberry here in Saudi, and about five or six different flavors in Oman. 0
