    I'm scared of sounding a little bit silly here... but I wanted to feel really good about myself, so a few weeks back I ordered a corset. It came today and I put it on and I'm LOVING IT. I actually feel kind of sexy in this thing!! This is a little embarrassing... :lol:

    Not silly or embarrassing! That's awesome!

    How is your fur baby? Any news from the vet yet?

    Thanks for asking, and I meant to update everyone yesterday. It is not a fatty growth, which means probably cancer. It will cost $500 - $800 to get it removed and biopsied. We love her, but that's a lot of money for us. Going to keep an eye on it, and if it gets bigger then we will have to have it removed. At this point it doesn't seem to be bothering her though.

    Sounds like a good plan and thank you! I was concerned. Hope to hear news from @Italian_Buju soon.

    I'm usually a lurker too lol I started logging every bite, it's really opened my eyes to my non stop snacking especially on treats brought in to work! I still eat what I want and log, but I really ask myself if those calories are really worth it now thanks to keeping myself accountable, some days totally worth it! Lol I've been at this 11 weeks and down 20 lbs, it's gotten a lot easier to pass up the treats at work! Totally not worth going back, I feel SO much better, and have to lose 20 more pounds two more times to get to my goal weight!
    Good job on your weight loss!

    Congratulations to you, also! Sounds like you really figured this out and are committed. Welcome to the thread!

    Last night after finishing dinner, my daughter brought her plate to the sink and said "good effort mom" and she thought she was being encouraging!

    hahahahaha that sounds like when my 3 yr old said, "You're not a pretty princess mama but you're MY mama". (He was watching Super Why with a princess on the episode). I was like, "um...gee thanks?"

    I used to break spaghetti into 3 when my kids were little. I still break it in half. I rarely order it in a restaurant because I don't like the looong strands.

    I also never order ribs. I hate getting my hands dirty, even if it's because of delicious ribs.

    I've never been a fan of spaghetti. I mean it's ok but def not something I would ever order when dining out. Maybe I haven't had GOOD spaghetti. But then again, I am not a saucy guy so I tend to like more noodle than sauce. And a noodle is just a noodle, correct?

    I crush ribs without second thought. I do however go through a TON of wet naps cuz I hate that sticky feeling on my hands and face.

    What??? Pretty sure your profile pic says otherwise! Haha. Those scrawny arms in the picture make me laugh every time.

    LMAO touché... I am also not a fan of mayo. Stupid skinny arm child proof tops (They ARE child proof, right?) :p

    Aren't all jars?? I used to have this small rubber gripper thing that I used constantly to open jars. It mysteriously disappeared from my kitchen. I didn't lose it. Husband is retired and spends way more time in the kitchen than I do, so naturally I blamed him. I throw a new temper tantrum now every time I cannot open a jar and my gripper is no where to be found. Never can remember to buy another one at the store! Simple solution, but temper tantrums are much more fun.

    Just tap/bang the edge of the jar (the metal part) all the way around on the countertop and the jar will open easily. It breaks the seal so it's suddenly really easy. It saved my life as a bartender constantly with the pickled asparagus/green beans and olive jars because I'm a shrimpy little girl with weak everything.

    You can also use the tip of a butter knife or spoon just under the lid..you'll actually hear the seal pop/air let out. Works great!

    What she said! My daddy made sure I didn't need no man. :)

    Agreed, however, *I* am the one that made sure I don't need a man to do things for me! Hence, the temper tantrums and resorting to other methods. I refuse to ask my husband to do it. I'll figure it out myself, thankyouverymuch!

    It was definitely me, but my daddy instilled it in me, too.
    He used to tell my sister and I to get educated, get a career and never rely on a man to take care of us.
    I took it a step further. I never ask for help with anything. Ever.

    Moving furniture? No thanks, I can do it myself.
    Opening a jar? Yeah, right, I got this.

    This is Owen. I fear he's not to return. It's been over 3 weeks now and haven't seen him. That makes me sad because he was my baby boy.

    This is Lucy and Otis. Lucy is the big (for her breed, she's actually on the small side) Staffy, and Otis is the little one in the background.

    Awww, they're all so cute but I love big dogs so can I have Lucy?

    ETA: I love their names and I'm really sorry about Owen

    You'd have to fight (physically more than likely) my husband for her. That's his baby and he was heartbroken when she ran away a few years ago. That's a long story and she didn't run away on purpose. Anyway, NO, you can't have Lucy. Although, you're more than welcome to come and visit her. :smile:

    Edited because sometimes reading and typing is hard.

    Deal, I'll bring my Hannah :) she's my profile pic

    Aww your cat is so cute I hope he comes back! But I'm a dog person for sure and I love your doggies!!

    Thanks! I love Owen's little tuxedo.

    I love Lucy, but I could seriously take or leave Otis. He's kind of jerk. Not all the time, but usually. It's a good thing he's so darn cute. My daughter is so funny with him. She's started doing the counting thing that parents do with children where she'll count to 3 if he's being naughty or not listening, and she gets to 3 before he listens, she gives him a spanking. It's a very cute thing to watch. It's also REALLY annoying sometimes when she just keeps counting to 3 instead of just getting up to grab him. I am curious to see what kind of parent she'll be.

    I have an NSV followed by a confession.

    This past Saturday I tried on a pair of American Eagle jeans. One size below the current size I wear (which are falling off and baggy) and the size below THAT as a 'just for *kitten*' sort of thing. I'm in a size 4 now, the 2 was too big, and the 0 fit great!

    Confession: I'm really pumped about it. But no one else really is. :confused: But it's okay, I know they're just concerned. But man, I went from growing out of a size 18 to a size 0. Madness.

    And I like American Eagle because I have no *kitten* and their jeans don't droop back there. lol.

    Yes, your family is just concerned. I want to be excited for you, but also concerned since I know kind of what's going on with you. Be healthy! (Hugs)

    Yes, it's a matter of health right now. Your transformation is absolutely astonishing and you should celebrate it! But, don't let it take over your life. Now is the time to nurture the body that just went through that drastic shift.

    And while it can be satisfying to fit in a size 0 or 2 it's also frustrating because finding well-fitting pants and shorts and skirts is tough.

    Is it bad that I feel the need to look better than my boyfriends ex?
    On top of that I just want to be confident in myself and feel comfortable in my own skin.

    I'm behind so I don't know if this was addressed already, but no, I don't think it's bad. You know he traded up, you want everyone to see he traded up :wink: But definitely work more on your own confidence. He must think you're pretty great as you are now though, since he's with you and not the ex.

    I'm 93% certain that were it not for the size of my butt, I could go down another pants size already. I'm wearing jeans in the smallest size currently in my closet for the first time since they were washed (so no stretching), and they're loose.

    Please help me settle a debate.

    What is a normal number of eggs for one person to consumer in a week? Let's imagine this person eats meat, but not necessarily every day, and not big portions of it. This person happily consume plenty of wholegrains, fruit and veg, dairy (and too much sugar but never mind that).

    So normal number of eggs in a week?

    I'd ask in the normal forums, but I don't want my face ripped off by the 'eat all the protein carbs are evil' mob. (Not having a dig at you low-carbers, just at the way some people harp on about it!)

    I eat about a dozen a week, I think I'm (relatively) normal. However, I'm on the short side, so I'd imagine someone bigger/taller than me could definitely eat more and be considered normal.

    Actually, what'll skew that number isn't LC vs regular, but lifters vs non-lifters. I know some of the guys out there go through 5-6 eggs a day. I'd say it's safe to ask out there, just phrase it as what's normal for a typical, non-bulking person.

    When i get on the elipitcal in my basement I have to cover up every clock in the room including the one on the machine and then I spend the entire time trying to figure out how long each song I hear is or how many minutes between commercial breaks on the food network show I'm watching and how many minutes I have left. I hate it.

    When cardio becomes this much of a drudgery for me I know it is time to change it up. Honestly, losing weight and improving physical performance is as much mental as it is diet. I firmly believe that if you hate every minute on that machine then you won't reap many benefits.

    Is it possible to do your elliptical just a couple times a week? Shorter duration, more intense intervals. Then get either workout DVDs or do body-weight exercises. I just think variety and using your body in other ways may help.

    Wow, 100 new posts! You guys be crazy...

    Today's confession: It REALLY p*sses me off that you can't outwork a bad diet.

    The last month, I've been logging everything as usual, breakfast, lunches & snacks have been on point, but after analyzing the data, noticed my avg cals per day have been quite a bit higher. Exercise burn has been at its usual levels, avg about 550 cals a day. I usually net about 11-1200 cals per day after exercise, but this last month it's been more like 1700. And not good calories either, a lot of crap at home after work. Chips, cake, cookies. Bad habit creeping back in, getting complacent, I've figured this out for years, blah blah blah.

    End result? a 5 lb gain for May.

    The fire has been lit.

    I'll take you up on that. The last month I have barely been holding on with emotional eating. I am finally back on track and starting to train again. Time to get serious. We can do this!

    what do you guys need to encourage you/kick your *kitten* to stay on track? We might be able to help...and by extension, help ourselves

    I've committed to [</= 1,300 net daily] for the next month.

    I was at [</= 1,500 net daily], but I was eating too much & trying to offset it with more exercise...but my metabolism is on to that & wasn't cooperating!

    My diary gets pissy when I eat under 1,200, but for the next month, I can live with the red scolding.

    I have no idea how you do it. I'd be hangry. Badly.
    Confession: I am on here so much because I hate my job. I work for a large company and feel totally undervalued and unappreciated. It's not the company though because in my last position here I was very happy. Need to start seriously looking for another job, but every time I do the task is so daunting and don't feel like I'm qualified for any of the positions posted. Really depressing!

    Sorry. I've been there. Nothing worse for self esteem than a crappy job.

    I hate the clock when doing cardio. MUST HIDE THEM ALL. What I do is set up my trainer in front of the TV and find something very entertaining to watch that's commercial free. Usually one of my comedies like It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia or Workaholics. Or a sports show like Ninja Warrior. Makes the time fly right on by.

    Loving my gym since they added apps and Solitaire on the treadmill. Doing the best workouts ever and time flies by while I play and listen to my music. Love it. I wouldn't do it while running, but I can't run, so it's working out great.

    I've relapsed in my eating disorder. I only went over 500 calories ingested once this week, and I refuse to log my exercise because I don't believe that I actually burned that much. I have a concussion, and I'm not supposed to work out, so I do it all in secret so no one notices. I also have started weighing myself at least twice a day, never content with the number.

    Admitting is the first step. Hope you can get some help.

    I have been dealing with the leg cramps from hell the past 3 days, I've been training for a half marathon but I've been pacing myself. I can't figure out what the hell is causing them, I want them gone! Lol
    ETA: I fail at forming sentences today guys.

    Stretch. Potassium pills (and bananas). And get a foam roller. I had bad leg pain last week and did both and beat my personal best on the treadmill today (9.5% incline at 3.5 mph for an hour... was beat after that though).


    Confession - I'm on my 4th cup of coffee. I don't think a nap is happening because I'm not tired enough for it... it will probably kick in around 5pm when I have to take the kids for swim lessons. I was craving some chocolate pudding and got a piece of dark chocolate, didn't help, so I ended up having a serving of Trutein chocolate pudding, which helped my craving but gosh it's just way too sweet. But at least it looks like it didn't send me on a massive carb craving spree for once, so I'll take it.

    Only have 400 calories left and it's not even 1pm. But at least I'm not hungry. Considering going out for a walk as it's not too humid for once, but with my big workout this morning that might be overdoing it a little... so I might just be lazy and watch some X Files instead.

    So I have a scale victory and a NSV for today. I’m officially down 10 lbs as of this morning (woot!), and I do eat more than my journal says (promise!), I just don’t log at home at night. I’m in the “clothes starting to get loose, but not down a size” situation.
    My NSV- my almost-9-month old finally sat up by himself for a few minutes last night. The pediatrician was starting to mention physical therapy for him and we were getting nervous, but now he’s starting to sit on his own (yay! So proud of him!)

    Congrats to both!

    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!
    fvs1bfqbgirl.jpg

    Great job! My stepson also has Asperger's and homework, especially math, was exhausting and sometimes even emotional. Trying to understand from him what was going on in the classroom was... challenging lol. When he graduated, we were all over the moon about it! Congratulations B)

    I'm also pretty drunk right now so I apologize in advance. like really, I usually abandon the website after I leave work (which I think benefits everyone), not sure how I got here now.... dang alerts!

    I hauled butt on the treadmill today (tried running for the first time, lmfao, didn't make it far!) , but I still haven't made up for all my calories. And i'm still hungry! I just want to stuff my face, be drunk, and be thin! It's that too much to ask? lol

    Btw: corsets are totally sexy

    I don't think that's too much to ask. If you find some genie handing out that wish, send him my way.

    all the local antique shops keep asking me to stop trying to shine their lamps....but what if i just haven't rubbed the RIGHT one yet?!?! ;)

    Hahaha! That's great! Well, consistency is the key, so I think you best stick with it.

    I hit my goal weight of 190 about 8lbs ago but altered it to 175 since I'm still a little flabby, the confession is I haven't told my wife since that's less than her current weight and she's losing too just not as fast.

    If I were her, I would not want to know that. I would have a hard time mentally if my husband weighed less than I did. When I am teetering at high weight, and my husband is in good shape, we are close and I hate it! He tells everyone that he outweighs me by 50 pounds, no matter what shape I am in (usually that is closer to 15 pounds). I love it when he does that, even though I know it's not true.

    We are constantly back and forth, partly because of my legs, but also because I'm taller than he is. It bothers me less when I know absolutely it's fluid. When it's like now, though, where I'm still up in shirt sizes, that makes me grumpy. We can usually trade t-shirts back and forth, sometimes they're too tight on him, sometimes they're too tight on me, and that's my general gauge of who's "winning". He's definitely winning right now, but I'm catching up on him (kind of disturbingly fast this week, actually).

    You'd have to fight (physically more than likely) my husband for her. That's his baby and he was heartbroken when she ran away a few years ago. That's a long story and she didn't run away on purpose. Anyway, NO, you can't have Lucy. Although, you're more than welcome to come and visit her. :smile:

    Edited because sometimes reading and typing is hard.

    Deal, I'll bring my Hannah :) she's my profile pic

    And she's adorable! I also love big dogs. Grew up my whole life with them. I just don't think I'm a small dog person. The smallest I think I could go for my own dog would be a Frenchie. I love Frenchies.

    I totally want a Frenchie!!! So cute!

    I resent thin people. I've been fat my whole life, and have no idea what it's like to be thin. I know I shouldn't resent them, but damn, when I see a thin girl complaining about how those jeans make her *kitten* look big, I want to slap her in the face.

    Me too!!!!!! In fact it pisses me off. I think it is because I just WISH that the hunt fr the perfect jeans on a perfect body was my biggest issue. Maybe it is jealousy? But either way.... I feel the same!

    This is just damn sad. SMH :noway:

    Pardon my ignorance but, personally, I'm really and honestly confused by what society calls fat shaming: if a slim person complains or comments about the fit of their clothing, or just plains looks great in their clothes, why should someone of a different size feel any way about that? Why should anyone be phased in a negative way? Unless.....somewhere in their mind there's a teeny bit of jealousy, or it makes the "observer" keenly aware that they need to make chnges in their own lives....? I don't get it...

    I used to break spaghetti into 3 when my kids were little. I still break it in half. I rarely order it in a restaurant because I don't like the looong strands.

    I also never order ribs. I hate getting my hands dirty, even if it's because of delicious ribs.

    I stopped eating meat 25 years ago because seeing raw meat grossed me out. I stopped eating anything you had to rip off a bone 35 years ago. Completely turns my stomach.

    That's very similar to my explanation of how I eat: if it reminds me of what it was when it was alive, I don't eat it. Sometimes it's appearance, and other times (like pork) it's texture that puts me off.

    I can force myself to cook it but I won't be able to eat the end result, having handled it.

    But I can eat ground beef from time to time (bears no resemblance to dead cow, in my mind) or small pieces of meat like ham in pea soup or chicken bits in fried rice with no problem... just don't plop a steak on my plate.

    I'll volunteer as tribute to eat your steak. Oh, and pork.

    I accept, thank you! :)

    You get my steak, roast, porkchops, bacon, ribs and chicken parts -- never been able to eat wings.

    (Needless to say, anything with a bone in it immediately fails the "it used to be alive" test.)

    And apparently my egg consumption isn't as high as I thought...

    I know I've got you beat, but then, that's keto problems ;)

    Here are pictures of my fur babies. I am WAY behind on this, but I wanted to join in on the sharing party.

    This is Owen. I fear he's not to return. It's been over 3 weeks now and haven't seen him. That makes me sad because he was my baby boy.

    This is Lucy and Otis. Lucy is the big (for her breed, she's actually on the small side) Staffy, and Otis is the little one in the background.

    Last night after finishing dinner, my daughter brought her plate to the sink and said "good effort mom" and she thought she was being encouraging!

    hahahahaha that sounds like when my 3 yr old said, "You're not a pretty princess mama but you're MY mama". (He was watching Super Why with a princess on the episode). I was like, "um...gee thanks?"

    Mu son told me the other night that he likes to drive his cars on me because my bum is like a big mountain!

    I swear they should have that option. A two hour sweat session between the sheets should definitely count.

    OMG so agree!!!!!!!!
