Guys? I want to bake these: http://prettysimplesweet.com/chocolate-chip-cookie-cheesecake-bars/
... Anyone willing to take them off my hands if I were to offer to bake them for you? Not that I can even bake in this condition, but I'm bored out of my mind and want something to do so I've been browsing recipes. :-/0 -

Thanks for all the lovely congratulations wishes! I feel special
The problem is I've been here before, never quite reached my goal (right now it's 145) and then gained it all back again. Any long-term maintainers got any tips?
I'm feeling guilty because my step count's been terrible for the past week. It's hot and I just can't get the energy up, and there always seem to be other things to do.0 -
That's awesome that your daughter is doing so well. It must be her awesome mother!Verklempt! I just dropped daughter at airport. She's flying solo - with a change of planes even. She is doing well overall. Eating is MUCH better, she stops when she is full. She is not obsessing so much over her weight. I hid the scale. I got rid of her FAT mirror. It was evil, added lumps and pounds to even her slender figure. She now comes and looks in my mirror which is not a mean, lying, evil mirror. She is much happier. She is looking forward to school and to checking out colleges. She is checking out one college this week. Oh, WestcoastJo I may have to ask you in PM where you are (of course you don't have to answer). I also may forget to do it as I am leaving tonight with SO.
Do you hear that? It is getting louder. In N Out protein style no cheese or sauce is calling me!! (It is unusual that I'm called by food so I must go check it out.)

Ooh, that actually sounds awesome! Bookmarked. Although I'm too lazy to start anything now--FND is generally not conducive to studying due to the mental exhaustion that comes with it, but today I'm really just lazy.

@Susieq_1994 you're exactly two days younger than my second youngest brother! He'll be 21 on the 6th and then my youngest brother will be 18 on October 7th! And thanks for the recipe thread I've never been much of a cook but I've really wanted to try lately!! Oh and your wedding dress was stunning!
@riderfangal I hope you're having a blast on your date! And if not, there will be plenty others!
@pofoster21 @orangesmartie I'm sorry it was a crappy day I hope tomorrow goes well for you both!! (Hugs)
@TigerNY128 glad you're checking in I was wondering if you'd left us too!
If I missed anyone I do apologize! Hope everyone is having a great weekend and can't wait to catch up Monday when I should be working haha ❤️
No way, never leaving this thread!! I'm leaving for vacation on Wednesday though so I may not be checking in for a few days until I get back! I'm sure I'll have thousands of posts to catch up on...
We are headed to Amelia Island, Florida for 5 days. I've never been there but it's supposed to be beautiful!
Do you have pictures? I plan on posting vacation pictures once I'm properly caught up on this thread.
I'll look through my phone...I'm awful at taking pictures, I always forget! Most of them are probably me and my boyfriend, but I'll look.0 -

I really wish I knew more people just so I can bake and dump my baked goods on them. *sigh* But Eid is coming and I'm totally making a HUGE peanut butter pie and totally eating a ton of it. Calories don't count in Eid, after all. 0 -

Congrats @bkhamill !!!
I confess that I am only 21 years old and don't think I'm ready to have a baby by any means, but sometimes I have dreams that I am very pregnant or have an infant and wake up feeling strangely empty, confused, and sad. Any one else do this? Or did this?0 -

I dreamt the other night I was pregnant but sad, empty and confused were not the way I woke up feeling 0 -

Lily/Lilly seems to be a popular baby name lately. My sister's best friend just had a baby she named Lillian, and since then I have seen two more people on Facebook name their infant daughters the same. Lily Kay is really cute! Once again, congrats!
EDIT: LOL @riderfangal, I hear ya!
If I were actually pregnant I'm sure there would be plenty of panicking going on. 0 -
I already have a grandson - Noah James, he calls me Nana. He is getting a the little sister. (I also have two angel babies whose names are Lauren Adel and Landon David - my oldest sons babies who were born with a genetic disorder)0 -

Thanks for all the lovely congratulations wishes! I feel special The problem is I've been here before, never quite reached my goal (right now it's 145) and then gained it all back again. Any long-term maintainers got any tips?
I'm feeling guilty because my step count's been terrible for the past week. It's hot and I just can't get the energy up, and there always seem to be other things to do.
I'm sure everyone's strategy to maintain will be different, but I've maintained the same 5ish pound range for 2+ years now. For me, what's been helpful is having that 5 lb range and then continuing to weigh all the time (daily, typically) to make sure I'm in that range. I haven't logged food in maintenance other than an occasional spot check, because I got pretty good at estimating when I was losing. That being said, I know a lot of other people have been successful doing the opposite of me: tossing the scale and continuing to log food. So maybe staying mindful one way or another might be the ultimate tip.
(Seems a little weird saying this as I just confessed I'm really pissed because I'm one pound over what I want to be - but I'm quite sure it's just DOMS, so I figure I still count as a long-term maintainer).0 -

I've been maintaining within a 5 lb range for over a year (until last month). I tried not logging food for 6 weeks and ended up 6 lbs over my lowest, so I'm back to logging now. I weigh daily, record my weight weekly. I'm trying to keep the same activity level as when I was losing weight. My ultimate goal is to be able to maintain within that 5 lb range without logging food. I think maintenance is harder than losing was!0 -

Aw yay!! I love the name Nana, that's what I want to be when I have grandkids too!0 -

Ha! Yep, I tend to have a different reaction to pregnancy dreams. Congrats @bkhamill!0 -

I recently dreamed I was pregnant and my daughter and I had babies on the same day, that would be awful! I already raised my babies, no thank you!

Yes, definitely the bolded. I've always enjoyed being active - I just was enjoying my beer a bit too much/often - so keeping the activity was a no-brainer for me. If you hate being active though, don't force yourself to do it. I would think that would make you miserable, instead you'll just have to accept a smaller amount of calories as what you maintain on (e.g. my "sedentary" cals would be 1500-1600 to maintain. Because I'm decently active I maintain on about 2200).0
