Another woosh last night so I’m only 2 lb away from my first goal now. That’s nice, but all I can see is how far I have left to go
And…would this bother anyone else? My brother in law gave us his car to either keep or sell and use the $ for the boy’s college tuition fund. I was thinking I’d drive it and sell mine. DH was off work yesterday and went and registered it at the Secretary of State. I realized if I sell my car, I will have nothing in my name. Bills, utilities, credit cards are in his name, his car is in his name, mine is in mine, but if I keep BIL’s car, it’s all in his name. It vaguely bothers me, like it’s the 1950’s and everything has to be in the man’s name. I work, I make 2/3 of what he does, but I contribute significantly. Am I being weird about this?
I think you should get a credit card or something in your name. Having your own credit rating is important especially if something happens and you don't have him anymore. (Not thinking anything will). I've heard stories of women who had everything in their husband's name and struggled later trying to do anything when he was gone.
Just my $.02.
Never thought of that. This wouldn't fly for me, but every relationship is different.
I'm the opposite, everything is in my name alone including the mortgage. That's mostly because I have insanely good credit, and my husband's credit situation leaves a lot to be desired. He also makes about 2/3 of what I make. One thing I did was add him to a couple of the credit card accounts so that the good credit info gets reported back for him. I'm still the primary, but it should be helping his credit situation.
I lived alone for most of my adult life and have been very fortunate in my career; I'm very controlling when it comes to money. This works out fine FOR US, but I can see how I would feel differently if I was on the other side of it.0 -

Also, I grew up in South Carolina and I have never had a banana and mayo sandwich. Not only that, but it sounds disgusting to me! I already don't like mayonnaise that much, but maybe I'd like the sandwich. Who knows? I think it was Italian_Buju who mentioned eating tomato and peanut butter sandwiches. All kinds of combinations you'd never think to try out there.
Oh banana sandwiches are heavenly! I need one in my life here soon I do believe! Try it, it's better when there's not a lot of mayo, and it must be dukes mayo!
I agree. They are good. Better than PB & banana. It has to be the grand a perfectly ripened banana, good mayo spread at the perfect thickness and soft, moist bread.
Ugh another who just can't wrap their head around mayo and bananas! I like bananas, they're not my favorite thing in the world but I LOVE mayonnaise- on LOTS.
I am sorry, but bananas and mayonnaise sound disgusting together. I'm not a huge fan of bananas anyway, but don't you DARE sully my precious mayonnaise with one. I almost always ask for extra mayo on sandwiches and burgers.
I do too!!! So good!
Me too! I had to train Mr. Kellie to make sandwiches the way I like them! To clarify, I make his the way he likes his; little mayo and spicy mustard. I'm extra mayo on both sides and sometimes a slice of bread with just mayo! So yummy!0 -
I wanted to share a small victory too. I ate A LOT last weekend (each day had to have been thousands over with the bbq, cake, smores, Old Chicagos, alcohol etc). I figured I'd weigh in today and be about 10 lbs heavier like I did when I overate during Memorial day weekend. Today though, I had a 1 lb loss! No idea how that happened. I was good the rest of the week. I figured it was maybe the swimming on Friday and Saturday helped (or maybe just stress haha). That made my morning.
I'm now .6 lbs from having lost 60. I still have a ways to go though.
I did compare my pictures from my birthday this year to in years past and I can see a difference. Maybe I'll get brave and share something if I can figure out how.

Add another to that list. Sounds amazing!!!0 -
This is the wrong quote, but wanted to chime in on your earlier post. Have you asked about getting his brother's car in your name? You need to have some credit. What if something happens to him?xLoveLikeWinterx wrote: »GUYSGUYSGUYSYOUGUYS.
I spent the whole morning researching and talked to my husband and I think we might get to go to Peru after all in September!
Wow. That's awesome. I really hope you get to go. I've never been on a trip like that so I'm super jealous that you are planning something like that. How fun!
YAY for Peru!!!! Ugh I want to go SO BADLY!!!0 -

One of them I like ok (and I think for sure is going to win), the other two I never really liked... and the person I wanted to win got voted out in fourth place. ARGH. Hate it when that happens.
On another note, I keep hearing some weird sound coming from my kitchen and I'm not sure what it could be. I told my boyfriend our apartment must be haunted or something. It almost sounds like some water is splashing on the floor violently, but I can't find anything wrong. We recently had an ant infestation so maybe a big ant is making noise in our wall as revenge for our ant murder.
Creepy. I hope you can figure out what it is. If you do, let us know.
Back in about 2009 or 2010, we had a few months were my whole family was experiencing weird things (in different locations) that I've never been able to explain to this day. It was really weird... I felt like we were all haunted for a while too.
Had a whole post on this but it got eaten, so here's myCliffNotes:
*cue creepy music and/or men in white coats to take me away, whichever you prefer*
I don't think you are crazy. Like I said it was the weirdest thing that for a couple years my whole family was experiencing weird things. Loud bangs and tapping noises, things would move on their own etc. Nothing before or since.
A lot of different things happened but here are a couple examples:
~I had a glass candle holder that was sitting behind a couple other items on a shelf. When I got home from work one day the holder was on the floor and the glass was shattered all over the carpet. For this to happen it would have had to have been picked up and moved over the other items in front of it and slammed against the soft carpet.
~I was at work and I worked at the front desk. I heard the elevator chime as I usually did when someone came up them. I heard and saw the door handle jiggle which used to happen a lot (we had glass on the sides and then a locked wooden door). I went to the door to help let the person in but no one was there. I checked the cameras for that time and couldn't see anyone pass by any of the glass windows.
I love hearing stories like this and the others that were posted...but if they happened to me? I'd cry in a corner forever.
If you get scared easily maybe avoid this haha. I don't want to give anyone nightmares.
It was scary. The worst though was just the feeling of being watched at night. I haven't had any problems with this before or since as I said (just for a while during that time period). So people will probably think I'm crazy but I would be trying to sleep and I felt like if I opened my eyes I would see something evil sitting in front of me staring into my face so I NEVER opened my eyes when I felt like that because I didn't want to see anything.
I spent a lot of nights as a child with this fear. Ever heard of 'shadow people'? When I was a kid I saw a tall shadowy figure standing in my doorway every night. I was terrified and couldn't move. This happened in three different houses, until I was about 16. Thankfully I've never seen it since, but my brother and his girlfriend saw something similar a couple years ago in his room. It wasn't until a few years ago that I learned there are people worldwide who have seen something similar. We can't all be crazy, right?
Yes, shadow people totally freak me out. That is something I NEVER want to see EVER. I'm so sorry that you saw that. I have the chills so bad right now.
Ever see the movie KNOWING with Nicolas Cage? There is one hella creepy part at night where dude enters the kids room all slow and daunting. So many chills....
I have and I don't remember that part. I must have blocked it out. Haha0 -
SWe drove 14 hours today. Traveling Gluten Free is always a challenge. Breakfast for me was a jerky and a handfull of cashew nuts. Lunch was a wendy's baked potato (Butter and pepper) and a side salad without dressing or croutons. We reached the Denver area around rush hour. We are in the CUTEST B&B (more on that later) We had a lovely dinner and now bed. I have not read and will read probably Saturday P.M. HUGS to all.I wanted to share a small victory too. I ate A LOT last weekend (each day had to have been thousands over with the bbq, cake, smores, Old Chicagos, alcohol etc).

60 lbs that is so fantastic!!!! Seriously great job!!!0 -

Italian_Buju wrote: »Confession:
I have not come on this thread for a few days because I felt like the posts I made about my issue with my SO and my issues with struggling to WANT to lose weight were not well received and I felt embarrassed and wished I had not written about those things. Over time I started to feel too comfortable and speaking too freely I guess.
Late last night before bed I noticed I had notifications and checked them which brought me to a few posts here and I saw @Susieq_1994 saying I was avoiding you guys, and I just wanted to make it clear that it was my own issues and not you guys as to why I was not posting here.
I was still posting in the fitbit and Big Brother thread because they felt safe, like single topic threads. Also, as you guys have seen, I am not afraid of confrontation, so it is not like I need everyone to agree with me or anything, about anything, I am not sure why I reacted so strongly, maybe because they were on top of each other, not sure, no idea really, but it affected me for some reason.
In short, I decided that I did not want to become that annoying poster that everyone rolls their eyes at, lol, so I stuck with single topic things, like fitbit and goodreads, status etc. I have not avoided anyone in particular, or felt upset with anyone other than myself.
@Italian_Buju I did not comment on your stuff with your SO, but now I feel like I should have. I totally get where you're coming from. My husband is the sweetest guy. He does all of the cleaning around the house, he even cleans up after the cats that I had before I met him. He leaves me little notes in the mornings telling me he loves me, and does all kinds of other things that I can't enumerate them all here.
However, if I specifically ask for something outside of the norm and he doesn't do it, it drives me absolutely bonkers. This happens on occasion and reminds me of the situation you described. Does it probably seem petty to somebody on the outside looking in? Yes, it usually is. But, I like to be heard, and those situations where I've specifically asked for something and it doesn't happen make me feel like I'm not. I hate that.0 -
@kelly_c_77 and @LBuehrle8 Retail therapy was so fun. I went To Ricki's and bought 2 new shirts and some capris. Was pretty happy when the first stuff I tried on was too big and the saleslady had to go grab smaller sizes. Yay!!0

@Italian_Buju Please come back we miss you!! I hope I didn't say anything that made you feel that way!!

Happy to report that I went for a 4.5 mile run today and there was no pain, once again those who recommended rolling with an ice bottle I love you!
Confession: My hips are sore from my weights yesterday and my run today, I'm in the office alone today sooo I decided that a quick downward dog would be a good idea.... then someone walked in... oooooops.

I don't either. When I had my cake biz I'd make it for tastings, hoping that nobody would order, but they always did. I have a bit of a thing about large amounts of food colour, so that alone would be enough to put me off, but combined with the fact that it's usually an oil recipe rather than butter, and that there's only 1tsp of cocoa, I'm out.quiksylver296 wrote: »I feel the need to confess: I don't like red velvet anything.

Sorry guys it has NOTHING to do with the cake. It's the cream cheese frosting.
I don't understand these words. I adore cream cheese frosting. It's the only redeemable thing about red velvet. I'll eat cream cheese frosting with a spoon (read fingers) out of the can or I love to dip graham crackers in it. My boss makes a zucchini cake and puts cream cheese frosting on it and it is TO DIE FOR. I usually eat several pieces and request to take leftovers home. I should request she make that for our food day coming up next week.

Anyone else love Orange is the New Black? My boyfriend and I are one episode away from finishing the third season. There's one character in particular that I hated in the first season (I think everyone did) and now I really like her and feel sorry for her. This show has great character development

Yes, Yes, Yes! We are only on the fourth episode although pretty sure I know who you are referring to. Please no spoilers!!!0 -
I like SoSo ok but hate Leanne! And I agree on Piper... especially in the third season. I can't stand her. Taystee, Poussey, and Cindy are all awesome. Pennsatucky was the one I used to hate but really really like now.

In the middle of last week I mentioned to him that I was craving Funyuns but I couldn't eat them because if I bought a big bag I would eat the whole thing in one sitting. Well, he came into to pick up the paperwork on Saturday night while I was out doing my rounds. I come back to a small 100 calorie serving size bag of Funyuns on my keyboard. I cried stupid happy tears because it was such a sweet thing for him to do AND he considered my calorie intake. He still thinks he's an *kitten*. Poor guy doesn't know how sweet he is.
That's so cute. It really is the little things like that that make the difference.
I would agree, that's incredibly sweet and it IS the little things that make all the difference.

Pennsatucky was my favorite from the beginning I know everyone hated her but I always thought she was hilarious with all her saving and preaching, cracked me up!0 -
So I have a small confession: I’m scared to go into maintenance. I keep lowering my goal weight because I know it’ll delay maintenance. I’m scared for the stupidest reason, too- I know I’ll pack on like 3-4 lbs of water (bc I always do) as soon as I start lifting and eating more. I’m planning on slowly increasing calories like 70-100/wk and I’m dieting down even lower to account for the gain but I HATE the gain. Stupid, right?0
-
Dahhhh confession- I waaay over ate today! I was back on track for a couple days but completely fell off today. Ugh trying to get my head back in this game!
You are not alone-
I would say today is a new day, but I'm headed for a similar day today- sushi for lunch, then a birthday party. No planned exercise today either! SMH
Tomorrow?!
That's not waaay over for me! Haha0 -
