Not to brag.. But we're doing way better now, and only 5wks of logs I've lost 13lbs.
And I'm back on my veggies only rabbit food diet.
I still love veggie pizza and when I reach my goals it's going to be my first cheat food. Maybe homemade though.
Congrats on your success! I'd think you should be able to enjoy a veggie pizza now, right? Maybe homemade so that you can control the ingredients.
X2, eat the pizza. I made a Buffalo Chicken Pizza last night that was good and only 172 calories per slice.berlynnwall wrote: »smashley_mashley wrote: »Confession: I meant to make pulled pork in the slow cooker today.

I just have to remember to do it tomorrow.
Ugh, I hate it when that happens. The other day I put a dish in the crockpot to cook, and several hours later realized that it was not plugged in. I actually threw it out because it had been sitting out so long. So sad.
I hate the one crockpot we have because it doesn't have a light to show its turned on, I've more than once found it was in between settings on the dial and not actually heating now I put stuff in it when I wake up and then check to make sure it's warm before I leave the house.
Buffalo Chicken pizza sounds delicious! It's been a long time!0 -

My daughter shares your super power. In our house we call it rockin' the Casper.
I'm also very pale & once had a co-worker comment on how white I was after coming back from Hawaii for the second time. The first time I went to Hawaii I had learned my lesson the hard way. Over there the heat is very dry & I thought well it's not as hot & humid like it is in Pennsylvania so I don't need to cake on the sunblock. Ugh! Huge mistake! I had huge welts all over my one arm from a horrendous sunburn. Luckily they didn't hurt, but it definitely taught me to be more vigilant while out in the sun.
I'm pale but by choice- I can tan really easily but I'm super OCD about having sunblock on anytime I'm outside! I'm terrified of wrinkles and skin cancer
You are very smart! (say the hypocrite tanning addict) I gave it up several years ago, but started again this past March. I love it! But I seriously need to stop.
I love tanning, even if it isn't PC! Wish I could fit it into the budget this summer, but daycare and after-school care is not cheap!
Definitely. I no longer have those expenses so I can afford it although I know I shouldn't. Pretty bad though when oldest grandson comes over and I'm not home and he asks grandpa, "Is grandma tanning?" Has a strange ring to it. In my defense the grandma of my other 2 grandchildren is at the tanning salon almost every day the same time I am.
My grandma was always laying out in the yard or by the pool. When she was about 65, she started going to a tanning place because she moved into an apartment and felt self conscious laying where other people could see her. She tanned until the very end though! As far as I know she somehow escaped skin cancer. We were actually surprised.
My mom was a huge tanner too, but she did get skin cancer. Thankfully she is OK now, but she is much more careful about wearing sunscreen.
Glad your mom is okay! And, I really don't plan on tanning the rest of my life. I had given it up completely for several years. I'm planning on stopping next month when my membership expires. I do take meticulous care of my skin because I HATE that crepey, leathery look.0 -
This morning I went to take the last lemon Fibre 1 bar from the cupboard. I got so ripped off. They're supposed to be 25g, this one felt super small so I tossed it on the scale (still in the wrapper) and it weighs 9g. 9 GRAMS!
Wow that is a ripoff! You should write them & tell them they owe you a bar or a box.0 -
I found this thread last night after looking for posts to make myself feel better for once again thinking I could eat out of the carton of ice cream without over doing. Like I hadn't learned that lesson already. The first two pages made me laugh til I cried, I so related to playing games with a food log that only I see. I didn't realize I wasn't alone. Thank you. I will be returning often.0

Well, I'm pacing myself. I'm eating very few fatty carbs. I've cut out stuff like Rice, bread, pasta, cheese and butter. All those tasty things. But I'm slowly incorporating whole grains into my diet. I just had 1/2cup of whole-grain cheese ravioli and feta with my kale salad last night after a workout! = p And I bake my own homemade sourdough bread (made with whole wheat flour) for my family about every 3wks, so I can't refuse a slice of fresh bread now and then! I started my diet 2 1/2mths ago @167 and now I'm 148.5 today.
I've still got 22lbs togo. But I feel fantastic = ) The pizza is going to be like my gold medal. And I love making it at home with my sourdough starter.
and that's the greatest thing!!!0 -

Which naturally only makes me feel totally guilty.
Also, I have a huge (non-school) certification exam next Saturday and I am woefully underprepared because of everything else going on. Depending on how the next 8 days go, I will not be all that surprised if I fail it. So it goes.
Sorry for all your stress! I'm pretty sure your family understands that your certification exam is important. It's okay to put them on the back burner while you prepare and finish the exam. No need to feel guilty! Priorities have to change from time to time.
I wish. My in-laws are the most anxiety-ridden people on the planet (all medicated in some form kind of anxiety) and they cannot rationalize when they get like this. I'm positive there's resentment (which they will eventually realize was stupid), but right now I'm the total jerk who isn't available 24/7.
Well, then I'm a jerk, too, because their anxiety is NOT your fault nor is it your problem to appease or fix. I'm sorry they are dealing with that, but I say "too bad". You put yourself first and they have to get over it. But, I'm not all that attached to family. I say you CHOOSE you family; blood relation (or relation by marriage) does not give people power over me.
That's how I am with my own family. They can buzz off most of the time. The problem is he's close with his (to a point) and they're also all VERY local. My closest relatives are 2+ hours away.
And again, I'd like to point out that responses like that are why everybody likes you so much.
Well, thank you because when I re-read what I posted it sounded pretty bitchy to me! Wasn't my intent, however. Glad you didn't see it that way.0 -
My confession? I had Whataburger last night!
Confession I was going to go to Arby's tonight & get a Ruben sandwich & four piece potato cake but have now decided to go to Wendy's instead & try their Crispy Dill Pickle Sandwich & get their Ghost Pepper Jalapeno fries.
For lunch I had 1 cup of Breyer's Blast Golden Oreo ice cream & for Breakfast & my morning snack had two Quest White Chocolate Raspberry bars.0 -

You are very smart! (say the hypocrite tanning addict) I gave it up several years ago, but started again this past March. I love it! But I seriously need to stop.
My best friend had melanoma when we were in our early twenties and I've been watching my mom deal with all the consequences of being a sun bathing beauty her whole life! So just trying to avoid all of that
I tanned for a couple of years in my 20's. Getting a tan started is TOUGH for me because I'm blindingly pale. My mother is a redhead, and I'm whiter than she is.
I confess that I stopped not because of the fear of melanoma but because my friend who is 10 years older than me LOOKS more like 20-25 years older than me due to her decades of tanning, skin like leather.
Yes, this is right up there next to cancer for me so even if we didn't risk skin cancer from tanning I still wouldn't do it! I know lots of people hate being pale but I think it looks elegant honestly! I always think about how back in the day if you were pale it was a sign of wealth as you didn't have to spend all your days out working haha I'm not that shallow I swear! I just prefer being pale and I don't want to look like a leather hand bag in 10 years!
When my mom was in her 40's, she had a circle of friends, mostly people she worked with. I knew one or two of them were younger, but thought the rest were around her age. There was one woman who I thought was in her late 50's, because she definitely looked much older than the rest. Turns out she was mid-30's, and had already tanned herself into looking around 58 or so. I'd never had an interest in tanning before then, but that definitely killed any remote curiosity I had about it.0 -

I know how you can lose somewhere in the range of 150-200 lbs... Anybody who says he isn't attracted to you because you've gained weight - is not the right guy for you.0 -

Sounds like you've got a solid plan and you're making good progress - good for you! I DO love sourdough bread. Hence, one of the many reasons I gave up carbs. Feel so much better though it is worth it to me.0 -

Yes! And I'm having a really hard time imagining exactly how small this lemon bar was. 9 grams is NOTHING. LOL
Teeny. The bars are small anyway, but this was like one corner. If it was a gram or two off, I never would've noticed but there was a big difference in this one.
I don't think I can call and complain because *ahem* I already ate it.0 -

You can still call, they aren't going to ask you to send it to them. I've gotten empty cans of Diet Coke before, and they've always sent me coupons for free cases when I call and tell them.0 -

Ok, I don't want to judge, but you've stayed with someone that isn't attracted to you for 5+ years? Get rid of him and go find someone who realizes how amazing you are. Or stay single for a bit and have some fun, but either way, you can do better.0 -

Yeah. I'd have totally done the same thing.0 -
Confession: I can't seem to find the mental motivation to lose weight anymore. I don't want to be fat like I am, but somehow I can't generate the energy to eat healthier and exercise. I don't know why I have this mental block, but I want to get rid of it as soon as possible.
It's a tad depressing, really. It's like, I know what I'm supposed to do, but for some reason I still feel lost.
How long have you been dieting for? Do you think you're just drained from dieting for a longer period of time? There have been people here who've had success by eating at their maintenance level while still checking their week for a small period of time to get refreshed to start the next chapter in their healthier eating/fitness goals.
Are you trying to eat clean or eliminating/restricting way too many of your previous favorite foods? If so try to still incorporate some stuff into your diet unless you have a dietary reason or can't control yourself when you eat it.

@JPW1990 I know it isn't rare. Have many a friends who upon getting divorced suddenly find themselves in the company of much younger company. I shake my head as a older guy, but honestly there is a LOT of draw to it. Mostly it can capture that feeling of fleeting youth. Ya know, Jerry Lee Lewis "Middle Aged Crazy, trying to prove he still can...".
I am pretty grounded, but who knows. Was just thinking out loud. No plans for divorce or younger women at this point.
honestly, this is why at 34 i'm pretty sure i'm gonna be alone.
totally not judging you (after my parents divorced my dad spent years dating younger gals and then five years ago married a girl that is ONE year older than ME. i judge him )
anytime i go out i can't help but feel like i don't belong. there are young, stunning girls EVERYwhere, i can't imagine anyone settling for my older, pudgy butt. plus i'm also pretty sarcastic and b*tchy.
but seeing how i'm the reason my current relationship tanked, i really don't have anyone else to blame.
it's still kinda disappointing though.
I would too!
Don't give up on finding someone, I'm only 29 and sometimes it's hard since most gals my age are married or in committed relationships but most the time I'm happy as I have the rest of my life to be with someone may as well enjoy my "singleness" now. You'll find someone!! You are very pretty!
Agree that you are very pretty, plus you're pretty funny going off your additions to this thread and you will meet someone. I met my husband when I was 35 and got married at 37. I seriously thought there was something wrong with me. I used to tell myself I was "fundamentally unloveable". Everyone else said it would happen for me, they were right and I was wrong.
I must be an anomaly. I was reading through the past few days posts and wondering how people can only come up with a couple of things positive to say about themselves. And, why would anybody think that because they don't have somebody that there is something wrong with them? I never really thought I had super high self esteem, but I've always known my worth.
I am speaking for myself, but... you look around and all you see is "happy" couples and people dating, and there... is... nothing... going on with you. And I know I shouldn't compare myself to others, but I see some people who are just awful human beings and they are with someone. And then it's like "how come they can find someone, and I can't?" So you start to think there is something wrong with yourself and you must be completely unattractive.
