If I had any advice for engaged couples it would definitely be, DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT, GET MARRIED THE SAME MONTH YOUR TAGS ARE DUE!!! That was ridiculously dumb on our part. It makes anniversaries a bit challenging. Luckily, our finances are in a place now where it's not as big of a deal, but let me tell you, it still sucks butt.
Wait...what? How expensive is registration out there?!
It depends on what kind of car you have and what year it is. I drive a 2012 Toyota Camry XLE Hybrid and the first year I had to pay for tags, it was over $500. This year is under $400. Still, that's a lot when you're not used to paying that every month. I'm not sure how it is other places, but in Kansas, you pay your registration according to your last name. Before I got married, my registration was due in September or something, now, because my name starts with "H", it's due in June. The same freaking month as my anniversary.
ETA: It's not the registration that is so high, it's the stupid property tax. I hate having to pay property tax for something I ALREADY PAID TAXES ON WHEN I BOUGHT IT. It's ridiculous.
The last name things seems super annoying.
It IS! Hence the caps lock.

I hate when I weigh something & then two minutes later cannot remember how much it weighed LOL.
I thought I was the only one that did this. It's the worst with fruit/veggies.

I keep my ipad in the kitchen with MFP pulled up so I can log it in immediately or I'd forget, too. lol.0 -

I love all the pet photos too!
I gained 3 pounds before we left for Vegas last week to make my dress fit and I'm up another six today (which is hopefully mostly water and will go away soon), but we're married!
Sorry they're kinda huge...
Awww you look freakin radiant! I hope it was everything you wanted and more! Congratulations!0 -
Big day in our house - my son had his high school graduation. I was a weeping, emotional wreck because it's been a long, hard battle for all of us. He has ADHD and mild Asperger's, but he's (hopefully!) graduating from the regular school program. It feels like a huge triumph!
Congratulations! You must be so proud of him! I hope it all went well!0 -
I'm very pale like a bunch of you have said you are. I used to try tanning, but it didn't take. I've never had a tan or a sunburn in my life. I finally stopped trying and embraced my day walker skin. I sometimes get embarrassed by it, but I figure if people don't like it screw them. Being able to blind people with the color of my skin is a super power!

When I'm weighing a pile of veggies I make up a song about their weight in my head, then chant it continuously to myself until I can log it... 0 -

The two of you look so calm and happy and the guy 3 rows back looks terrified, lol. Congratulations.
Totally OT but I love that roller coaster! It is as scary as anything because it does not feel secure with just the over the shoulder thingies and the lap thingy0 -

I would also like to point out that I love the colour of your shoes and that fact that your husband has a matching tie.

Being Australian, I can't escape the sun; being pale-skinned, I've been sunburned more times than I care to remember. I have to set timers on my phone or come up with tricks and apply sunscreen every hour and even then I still get burned. And then after all that - no real tan.
Have a couple of confessions to make. Yesterday, after millions of excuses, I finally turned on the DVD of the Jillian Michaels Beginner Shred. Right! I told myself. Time to get moving! Time to get stronger!
...yeah, right. I couldn't finish the workout. I got halfway through. Really dirty on myself for not pushing through, but at the time I just didn't have the puff. Today, I'm kind of glad. My thighs are hurting big. So I guess the tl;dr is that I'm obviously REALLY weak and pathetic since I can't even get through that first workout? Try again tomorrow.
Second confession is that I should have gone to the rink tonight. I got out of work in plenty of time, so I should have. But my thighs were aching, and I was feeling yucky, so I didn't.
And then I went and fed the darned TOM with chips and scallops and now I actually feel sick, so...write off today, I guess!0 -
I haven't been able to go swimming at all this week because my car broke down and the clutch has gone. There goes £400 I wasn't planning on spending this month and I won't get the car back for another couple of days so no swimming for me this week. Ugh.
In good news, I have discovered the medicinal properties of TUC biscuits when it comes to alleviating morning sickness. Salty, salty goodness. Paired with the no exercise, I am a bloaty lady (and it isn't baby bump). And I can't stop burping. I'm a proper delight all-round.0 -

Me too! I will weigh out my lunch for the next day and have to immediately log it or I'll forget.0 -
In just a little bit, I'm going to drop off the registration form for my son to start preschool in the fall. I'm freaking out a little...where has my baby gone!? Don't back out..don't back out...0

...it was completely meh. I drank it, hoping at some point the enjoyment would kick in. Nope. Now I'm just sat here, a little pissed at myself because I've just wasted about 150 calories on something so unsatisfying. I really wish I'd just had a chocolate hobnob or something.
Gutted.
This is the worst!! I hate wasting calories on food I don't enjoy.
Big big congrats to Tubbs and peleroja!! Beautiful pics.
Today's confession, my partner made a whole batch of shortbread and I ate 5 I'm really annoyed at myself, lucky I ended the day with 10 cals to spare.
I resent him when he does this, him baking is a frequent occurrence. I know he isn't forcing me to eat but I have serious self control issues Plus he's on the road to diabetes and keeps paving his own path and it worries me 0 -
Today, my husband and I were sitting together on our respective laptops, when he suddenly looked up and demanded... "Define yourself!"
...I confess that the first two words that popped into my head and spilled out of my mouth were "Ugly. Fat."
I also confess that this makes me sad.

I'm with you. My baby starts kindergarten in the fall and I'm freaking out as well. I'm also worried about him adjusting to a school environment since this is the first time he'll be going to school. He's been home with my husband for the past 2 years.0 -

That makes me sad, too. Please work on positive self-talk. It is super hard, but so necessary.0 -

We must have the same skin. I have four shades in my repetoire: ghostly pale, pink, red, and freckled.
Keep at it with the JM DVD. Just think how accomplished you will feel when you make it through the whole thing and think to yourself, "Hmph, that wasn't much of a challenge". And it WILL happen, I promise.

Although I suspect that one of the first words I'd use to define myself is also "ugly", I'm now tasking you to come up with two POSITIVE attributes to replace those ones.
Off the top of my head, mine would be "funny" (I promise, I constantly make people laugh IRL, probably not so evident on here) and "analytical".0 -
Today's confession is that I got pretty judgy in a couple of other threads yesterday. Sorry if I offended anyone, but there are a couple of whiny excuse factories on here that drive me nuts!
(oops...did I just judge in the "no-judgment" thread?)0 -
I don't know why I'm suddenly having such a hard time staying on track lately. I don't even remember it being this hard when I first started and had tons of bad habits to break and zero fitness level. WTF?! I haven't had any days that were 100% awful - I've kept up with my exercising and I'd say about 75% of my eating has still been fairly healthy. But I keep screwing up, and I hate that.
Like yesterday: I was hungry while I exercised (walking) and instead of ignoring it like I should've, I actually ate a bunch of Chex mix while I was walking. Talk about defeating the purpose (and I obviously wasn't pushing myself hard enough if I could stuff my face while walking either). What a waste.
I weighed myself yesterday morning and I'm up 3 pounds and at the same weight I was in the beginning of May. Might be water weight; might not. Regardless, it's like any of the work I've done these past few weeks was for nothing because of all the screw-ups. I just wish I could tap into some of the motivation I've had in the past and push through this. I don't know if it's because I'm burnt out or if I'm letting my emotions of late (stressed and depressed about being unemployed) take over where food is concerned. But I'm really tired of feeling like this.

My daughter shares your super power. In our house we call it rockin' the Casper.

this is a great idea. We should all do this. 2 attributes about yourself that are positive. Believe me, you have so much more to offer than physical appearance and the way we see ourselves is so much different than others see us. If we all saw ourselves as others do- we would all be beautiful (and we are).0 -
Ugh...so bummed. I had my youngest son Sept 2014 and it was a horrible pregnancy (actually both of mine were but his was the worst), complete with severe Hyperemesis (basically you throw up 30-40-50x/day and break blood vessels in your face, damage your esophageal lining, etc.) I had a home health nurse come and give me IVs every other day because I literally couldn't eat or drink anything. I still threw up constantly, just not as much.
It did serious damage to my teeth. Most of my enamel has worn off, teeth are rotted out, etc. I've been working on fixing my teeth since last Oct. We have spent $10k (seriously) just since March on root canals/crowns and we are TAPPED out. That was AFTER the $3k insurance covered. Our credit cards are maxed, savings is gone. Since Oct it's been 4 root canals/crowns, 8 fillings, 1 tooth pulled.
I go in tonight to have the dentist check another tooth that I'm thinking he has to pull. Awesome. That'll be like another $400 Never mind the constant mouth soreness and losing pieces of the tooth.
I'm OVER IT. I just want to scream/cry/hit things. I'm tired of constantly being in pain and being broke from it. It's not fair to my children that $ that could be used for their care is going to my stupid teeth I'm also mad that I'm 33 and having dental work done like I'm 50. 0 -

You can totally judge other threads. We determined that early in the game.

FWIW, I think Jillian has a rather warped view of "beginner." Same with her idea of modified.0
