We have a peach tree in our yard and it has only given up tiny sweet peaches.
Confession: Tonight I slathered myself in a blend of coconut, tea tree, and cinnamon oils on top of my prescription cream(after it dried) and I smell mostly like cinnamon. As long as I don't smell like a rotting mushroom that is FINE BY ME!
Confession: Today was my dad's 63rd birthday and I had a slice of cake and didn't log it.
Confession: After gaining 2 pounds yesterday(bringing me to 186 lbs), I had a woosh when I woke up this afternoon and the scale said 183. I'm not believing it until I get tomorrows reading as well.
Way to go on the loss and Happy Birthday @Lilaclovebirdsdad!0 -
Where is everyone??

*I work on a college campus so my view may be slightly skewed, I've seen a lot of near misses with students just because they're not paying attention.
I tend to wear mine in public when traveling (mostly air travel) or if I went somewhere specifically to study or do grad homework, so that I DON'T pay attention to my surroundings. That said, I don't think I could ever have both earbuds in if I were running on a busy street because I'd be too worried about being run over!
Fester's gonna hate me - I wear my headphones pretty well any time I walk anywhere. I try to drive as little as possible, so when I walk places (like my half hour walk to work) I listen to audiobooks because it's so damn boring making the same trek on the same street day after day. At least I get some "reading" in that way.
I can't fathom why that would be irritating to someone though. It's not like listening to something makes me unable to watch where I'm walking, and the only conversation I'm avoiding is with panhandlers and people pushing religious pamphlets...
Me too. I walk and sometimes take public transportation and (gasp) used to study in a coffeeshop with them in. And around here, it seems like the grocery stores always have some organization begging for donations outside.
Confession: It really annoys me that kids around here beg for their extracurricular activity funds. I can't tell you how many cars I washed for yearbook club or how many candy bars I sold for everything else!
Another confession: If you come up to me and say that because I don't have kids I should buy some cookie dough or giftwrap from yours, I ain't doing it.
Yet another confession: That white chocolate macadamia nut is soooooooo good that it's a loss for both of us.0 -

Mine went well! It was perfect weather, just a few clouds & it was cooler to start off with, which is nice. The route took us through a really nice park, with lots of trees and a couple ponds. I finished in about 33 minutes.0 -

HIYA ALL! This weekend was pretty busy, I worked Saturday and went to accupuncture. Yesterday was stupidly hot so we helped the mancreature's parents with some landscaping (I needed some sun anyway so I wore my bikini top and shorts). We also went to GNC (all the Quest Bars were on sale!!), I got to finally try the chocolate mint one and I love it! I also bought Quest protein powder (Peanut butter), which wasn't available before in Canada. I've got two months until my half marathon and the wedding that I'm a Bridesmaid in, time to tighten things up and get back into the swing of things! Lol0

Yep... what happened to the days of bottle drives, bake sales, and car washes? I love it when someone brings in their kid's chocolate bars to peddle... and they usually disappear fast, so I'm not the only one.
I don't ever get the "because you don't have kids" spiel but I'll go along with that argument the day someone throws me a puppy showerriderfangal wrote: »Where is everyone??

Well I went to the dr the other day because my one foot hurts like crazy all the time. I just thought it was because I was walking so much more than I had done previously. Nope apparently I have this in my left foot.
Does using a tensor bandage help any cause it is really painful?
Not that I know.
The best thing is a frozen water bottle rolled under for a while in the evening and really good shoes!
I did go and buy new shoes and I am going to try the water bottle tonight . Freezing it as we speak. I don't mean to be whiney but it's just about bringing me to tears tonight.
Would you be able to go to physio for it? They'll be able to give you tips & exercises/stretches to help you get better.

I just saw this happen... but it didn't even last one week. They broke up after four days. Made me cringe.
I want to say to these people "Can't you just text each other your nauseating messages?!"0 -

What is this mythical work thing you speak of?

Ugh I was dreading weighing myself because in the past, I got too stuck on the numbers and it hindered my weight loss and was very discouraging. I stupidly took the advice of other and weighed myself for the first time in well over a year after my swim at the pool and I'm 20lbs heavier than I thought I was. Ugh.
I feel so crappy now and wish I'd never done that. I was going to just use a measuring tape to keep tabs on losses. I wish I had listened to myself rather than others.0 -
Um, this can't be right, nobody's posted in over 45 minutes?!0

Last weekend my brother's girlfriend left two kinds of cookies at my house. There were almost 2 dozen, I ate them all over 2 days. Then I bought a dozen of one kind to replace some of them... and then I ate those too.
They were delicious but now I still owe her cookies. 0 -

I can understand that. I couldn't stay away from the sugar this weekend. Ended up finishing off some gelato and eating some red velvet pop tarts that I have to hide from my teenage son if I wanted any! Now I need to put those front and center so there are none left.0 -

@pofoster21 I'm behind and checking in from page 1360 & 1361 - LOVED the pics of your 1/2 marathon! And congrats on your NSV - you DO look petite! You are quite an inspiration here! I wish I liked running - you make it sound just so darned enjoyable.
Maybe I will give it another chance once I get down to near my "goal weight" (another 15 - 20 lbs). 0 -

Hmmm... was your hair wet and do you have a lot of hair? Maybe you absorbed pool water during your swim... gives new meaning to the term "water weight", lol.
If you're happy with the way your weight is progressing in terms of body measurements and clothing fit, does the scale number really matter? Only you and your doctor are ever going to know what that number is.

Nice 45 mile bicycle ride this morning, hoping I can keep from eating 5,000 calories today!
Well shoot. Here I was all proud of hubby and me for running 8 miles and biking 15 on Saturday.
Awesome ride!
In our defense, it was only our 2nd bike ride since he got his new bike... Ha!0 -

I have been active most of my adult life, but 'thin' hardly ever and mostly because of an unsustainable diet. I have never been "super" heavy, but have had a lot of weight on my body. Because I hated myself. I was an unattractive, awkward, unhappy kid who was surrounded by gorgeous OR genius OR successful OR both people. Being generally good at a lot of things, but not great (or super smart) at anything, plus being a middle child in a familly of 5, was really hard. Seriously. I know it sounds crazy (seriously crazy) but talking to all of you finally made me realize I am ok. Not for any reason except none of you have a SINGLE expectation of me. And frankly, until today's picture, had never seen me (except in the batcave). So there was no preconceived notions. Or expectations. And learning about why people hate people who are always late (I try not to be now), why people binge eat, struggles with family, sisters, parents, ,etc. have finally made me realize...I am not a freak. And to have a better understanding of people in general. So yes, I am a work in progress, but I am finally starting to figure out I like who I am .... whatever I look like (facially or weigh wise). Plus.. I have killer taste in shoes. That counts for something.
I like who you are too!
Me, TOO! This was beautifully said, Patricia. You are one of the most honestly compassionate and inspirational people I "know" and I am truly grateful for this thread. I get excited to see what happened in here over the weekends when I'm not on the computer much - everybody's victories and successes and the support given to those who are struggling... it's just such a wonderful place.
@crosbylee - I completely understand where you're coming from. As a kid, I wished that my super power was invisibility (more to avoid having to live with other's expectations of me than for any other reason, so that I could be free to do whatever I wanted to do). Losing weight definitely makes me more visible, and I don't love being the center of attention, ever really. 0
