I'm secretly hoping the my kids sleep through the Bloody Mary brunch so I won't have to fight the temptation to drink all my daily calories in a 4-hour window,0

I think age appropriate is a term that can be over limiting. Certainly if your daughter is approving then it is fine. I think all ages can look good in similar clothes. I think all ages can look good in short or long hair. Perhaps quality and fit and cut are more important than an exact style.
Congrats on your good work. I'm sure you are looking great!
I struggle with the "age appropriate" thing all the time, especially as I am now over 50. And, unfortunately, the mainstream styles marketed toward my age group aren't "my" personal style, nor do they fit/suit my body type since I am tall and small-busted... junior clothes seem to be tailored for longer/leaner bodies these days.
There was a thread here a while back about whether or not middle-aged women could wear shorter-length skirts, and the responses were overwhelmingly positive. It kinda changed my mindset about being "appropriate". Not that I wear skirts or dresses a whole lot, since they don't work too well with knee-high compression stockings
nor would I ever wear something shorter for work, but I'm now more willing to indulge the SO's fashion requests occasionally, lol. 0 -

Thank you, I am feeling pretty proud of my accomplishment of going from a size 22 to a size 12 in less than a year.0 -
Now that I finally go caught up on this thing it is confession time: I did something really stupid the other day and injured my foot and have not been able to effectively exercise in 3 days. All I want to do it sit around and eat. I go on vacation on Tuesday and so wanted to lose a little more weight before wearing my new swimsuits in the Bahamas and that is just not happening. I'm a little depressed. On a positive note, my foot is feeling somewhat better today and hopefully will be good by the time we leave on our trip.
Find some great activities to do while you're on vacation to make up for the missed days. Run on the beach, join a volleyball game. I mean, if you exercise in the Bahamas, it's fun and not *really* exercise, right?0 -

Plan on doing everything while there!0 -
My confession: I can't give up my pop. I don't record it either, since it is usually diet. I've tried, and my family begged me to go back on it. I'm a grouch without at least two bottles a day.0

Have a great time and I'm crossing my fingers that your foot is all better.0 -

There's no reason to give up pop unless a particular ingredient affects you negatively. If you're restricting calories, diet is probably a better option since regular pop tends to add quite a lot of calories with minimal nutritional value.
And the main ingredient is water, after all.0 -

I recently discovered diet Mt. Dew and I'm in love! I've never even tried the regular stuff.Diet soda has 0 calories... enjoy!
And ouch. That injury looks painful.

Susie: take comfort in the fact you get up to pray, count it as a success and evidence of the larger plan for you.
Italian: glad your little guy is hanging on
Pofoster: congrats
Confessions:
1) yesterday morning I decided to go the gym while everyone was still sleeping. I found all my gym sets in the wash. So I rummaged dirty clothes out the wash basket and wore those rather than not go to the gym
2) we might have been a bit over enthusiastic in the mattress gymnastics and I've got an 'internal' injury that puts me out of commission for a few days. A good time was had by all.
3) today, instead of a proper meal, we went to the ice cream parlour and had sundaes for dinner. After I spent all morning cooking and prepping healthy meals and lunches for next week
4) my boss is in her 50s, very slim, with long legs, and wears very short skirts in the office. I do judge her for their length, but agree pencil skirts are classic, timeless and ageless0 -
It does get really strange when I see high schoolers looking at the same clothes I am. I was over 250 all throughout my high school career and just wanted to bury myself in an oversized hoodie.I am a smaller size right now than I have been since before I had children (they are now 31.29 and 27 years old) I am discovering all kinds of new options in clothing and wonder at times if what I am putting on is age appropriate. Just today I was showing my daughter - the 27 year old some things I bought to wear on vacation next week and she said "Oh wow mom, we can share clothes now - well - after I have this baby anyway" and we both cracked up.

I don't know what to say without sounding stupid but I hope you feel better soon!0 -
Confession: a family member is giving me a bike for college (yay!
) but I've only ridden a bike like once, probably 10 years ago, so I'll have to find somewhere out of the way so that no one I care about sees me fall over trying to learn how to ride it. 0 -
Even though I haven't seen her in almost a year, I'm hoping my friend cancels our plans for next Saturday. The UEFA Champions League final is on TV at 2:45 that I don't want to miss (annual soccer tournament involving Europe's top teams). One of my favorite teams is playing. She just moved into her new apartment, so I'm hoping that she'll be too busy unpacking and setting up to hang out.
I'm almost willing to make up an excuse so that I can watch the game live. I'm terrible. lol If worst comes to worst, I'll leave myself unspoiled and watch the game later that night.0 -
I have the ability to binge eat on crap foods almost every day. It's hard to control but at university I went "cold turkey" for 4 weeks with no problem. Then I get to my mum's house for summer and I'm back to stuffing my face like a pig at a trough.0

Bummer, they just closed one of the sugar threads. I guess I need to find something else to do. 0

I drink diet soda too! It has no calories and doesn't really affect anything. Enjoy it!0 -
When I'm losing weight, I'll buy popcorn thinking it's ok to have. Usually, its not. So, I've cut up bags of uncooked popcorn so I wont go digging for it in the trash can and eat it later..... 0

It's 3:30pm and I'm already over my calories for the day.0

Confession.... I usually don't do well on desserts (read: I eat it near continuously until it's gone). But today I made a crustless peanut butter cheesecake using light cream cheese, peanut butter & light cool whip. The entire thing which is pretty small but fairly dense adds up to just under 1,500 calories. I'm pretty sure it will all be gone before my daughter comes home and it looks like I am taking an extra bike ride today.

Good grief, check in on Sunday and there's 247 new posts! And I did read them all.
Confession: After my midweek rant/meltdown, I cut out all sweets, complex carbs after 2pm, and ate nothing after 7:30 pm.
Weighed in this morning down 4 lbs (173.)
(inb4 "Guys lose weigh WAY easier than women!" - sorry ladies, hate the game, don't hate the player!)0 -

Okay so this is an embarrassing confession but oh well- there's a thread on the motivation and support page and it's a girl asking for other women in their 20's . Made me feel sad because in less than a year I wouldn't qualify
I don't know why but it really put a damper on my mood and I know it's really stupid but the realization just sucked 0 -

Hey now! I am turning 30 in August and I can not wait to celebrate my continued awesomness. Screw the 20s, way too much stupid. The 30s is where it is at!0 -
I just turned 45, what's up!? LOL When someone asks me how old I am, I reflexively say 28. Because that's how old I think I am.0
