NSV #1: Was in my brother's wedding today as a bride's maide. The dress I bought 3 weeks ago fit, but was a tiny bit snug under the arms (sleeveless, with open shoulders and a round choker like neckline) when I bought. Put it on today and it was comfortable, almost too loose under the arms to not hide the side of my bra. I…

@bolesbe202 I have family out there in a couple small and super small towns in OK :)

O.o

Just got back from the barn and I am itching to death (hay and hay dust are (almost) EVERYWHERE) while stalking mfp.

my apologies....my computer spazzed and didn't show my original post, so I re-commented. Sorry!!

An added bonus: Your couch will be SUPER uncomfortable to sit on ;)

I was diagnosed in May with hypothyroidism and started on levothyroxine. Due to a reaction to my thyroid meds, I gained roughly 20 pounds in a the first 6 week period after diagnosis, despite healthy food choices and having a labor intensive job and an additional 10 during the next 8 following 8 weeks. My third appointment…

I found your post on Imgur the other day in user sub when I was trying to distract myself from a serious boredom munch session. (I was intentionally searching for motivational transformations there) Well done!!

Heeeey!! I saw your post on imgur when I was searched for motivational transformations there the other day (I was trying to avoid a boredom munch session). Nicely done!!

^yep

With the increased sodium levels on friday, it is definitely possible to "gain" weight that sticks around for a few days. Yes, it is water weight and it will take a few days for it to be "lost" again. Drinking extra water will help flush it out of your system. I am experiencing this myself right now (though, not for the…

Southeastern NC, chiming in!

:( While I haven't been in your shoes, I really want you to know that I feel for you both. I wish there was some way I could put into words the emotion(s) I feel at reading this, but I can't... Remember too, family is so much more than being blood related. Family is heart, home, undeserved and unconditional love,…

Fingers crossed, just in case :) Gonna pry...is adoption an option? I know it isn't exactly the same, but that's what my sister and BiL did. I have the most amazing nephew ever <3

I confess that in my opinion, some people that like to lie (multiple big ol' whopping lies) to gain sympathy should have their IP address tracked and blocked so they can no longer be part of the community, especially after having been busted.... @lexi3500 & @beautifulAna8

Salsa chicken and nachos (and yes, I am still below my calories for the day :-p )

Just my opinion on my own belly stretch marks: Stretch marks are like wrinkles. They tell a story. Mine tell the story of a 12 year old who started turning to food for multiple reasons. The story changed when I was 19 and met my husband. We got married, and three months after I turned 20, I had our sweet girl while being…

Do any of your medical problems cause restrictions on your diet (gluten free, low carb, low sugar, low fat...anything like that)?

i would, if you don't mind please....

Take that video and compare it to a photo of you at a higher weight. Are you where you want to be? No, but you are closer than you were. Don't give up

I called it a stupid thing when I shouldn't have. It wasn't his fault he was sick, but I am not allowed to use the language I want to use and I cannot express my thoughts/insults/opinions to his owner, my boss when I would love to. Sadly, due to an entire body fungal and bacterial infection, we had to put him down this…

I'm sad for it too. I have been the main care taker for it for over 4 months now, and I notify the boss lady as soon as I spot something being off on/in any of the critters at our practice. It started 2 months ago, and she waited until last week to send him to someone for treatment. He had a 15% chance of survival at that…

I confess that I really REALLY want to choke my husband right now for being a twit head, I have a goat at work that we are trying to keep alive and I wish it would just hurry up and die for it's own sake because it is a genetic fail and my boss doesn't want to treat her own animals until it is too late and after they have…

I got a vegitti (spelling?) from Tractor Supply (of all places) on clearance for $6 and i LOVE it. Makes thick and thin noodles and it is super easy to clean. Hand held, in between the size of a can and a 20oz bottle of soda in size

I call bullcrap on your doctor! If he is not willing to help you and be honest with you, it is time to switch. Yes, I know that is a big PITA, but it is worth it. Levothyroxine/synthroid/levoxyl are synthetic thyroid. There are natural thyroid options as well, with the most common being Armor. Some folks can't handle the…

yep. im fat but somewhat active (that's what I chose for my activity level. It sounds like I'm busier than I am. It's steady, decently labor intensive, but I don't think it actually burns that many calories). And thanks :)

Nope, it's my loose 2lbs per week, which I have tried. I do have a hypothyroid issue that was diagnosed in May, and told the doctor what I was doing. She offered me adipex while we get my levels in the correct range. I would rather eat less than take non required meds. To say she was surprised would be an understatement.…

I am "assigned" 2390 cals a day....granted I have only been logging for the past 4 days, but I try to stay in the 1200-1300, most of the time feeling satisfied and not eating a ton of veggies. I do eat a lot of protein, and my house is not exactly a "healthy" house. I simply make sure that I have salad stuff available if I…

I'm sorry your mom passed... You look great (even during such a sad and trying time) and I LOVE your dress from January
