My hubster and I got married in the chapel of a large nursing home. We wanted someplace very small, and it was perfect and lovely. His ex-wife loves to make snarky comments about it to the kids...but it was perfect for us!

I was nearly put off MFP because of a terrible interaction in another thread! I am not a frequent poster in here, nor am I "part of the in crowd" but I appreciate reading that I am not alone in my struggles, and it has been super beneficial to me...and often SUPER funny too!

My husband got readers recently. They suit him so well, it is about the sexiest thing I have ever seen!

Hoarded 1500+ calories for a work party this evening...and some *kitten* hat didn't make the group reservation for Jack Stack BBQ:( Now I am stuck eating crappy pizza that I NEVER would have wasted the calories on. There may be a DQ Blizzard in my future...

I pi i put my "little" in preschool in February. She was previously cared for by my SIL, but has blossomed so much! Her speech/language, and her social skills are so fantastic! I catch her singing little nursery songs on car rides too! It has been awesome. Still, hard to admit that my last baby is growing up...but she is…

Stunning! You look amazing...3 lbs be damned!

MFP ate my post! She is acting like a total jerk over all. Often wanting to spend all her time with her friends, then complaining that I never spend any time with her. Tonight she is having a friend sleep over...and was absolutely HATEFUL to her 3 year old sister (who idolizes her)! So...I took "little" out to dinner and…

I CONFESS: I would sell my 15year old daughter to gypsies for a string of beads and a pretty scarf

I buy myself perfume, or do "service" rewards like a facial, or mani/pedi...otherwise I would default to a Starbucks coffee (and that, my friends would be sabotage)!

We had an orange cat once. My daughter named him Copper, not because of his color...but because we got him the day of my uncle's retirement from the police force. I guess if Uncle Paul wasn't going to be a "copper" anymore, she figured the cat should be:)

Confession: I eat sunflower seeds like a maniacal chipmunk...and I NEVER log the calories!

I would love to join!!

A reputable surgeon has multiple requirements. I had to have a BMI within a certain range, co-morbidities, and do 6months of visits with a nutritionist before I was eligible to even schedule my surgery!

I had lap-band 7 years ago at 287lb. I lost 107lb, and kept it off for 4 years until my pregnancy...but I gained only 16lb during that pregnancy and dropped it quickly after. Only in the last year have I had significant re-gain...and it was because I was drinking calories (DARN STARBUCKS). Rather than getting a bit of a…

I am a nurse, and so many of the patients we see and care for are SO overweight that you probably TRULY look great by comparison. It is not uncommon for me to see a patient of the same height weighing 350+...

I have a friend that constantly uses "defiantly" instead of "definitely" it makes me CRAZY!

It was absolutely worth EVERY bite!

CONFESSION: I skipped dinner this evening so I could have a slice of red velvet cheesecake and a cup of coffee this evening. Only miss d my calorie goal by 1...no regrets:)

I love it too!!!!!!

I totally hear you! I have been bouncing between 214 and 212 for over a week now...I just want to get to milestone #1 (15lb lost) at 210, so I can keep going to my ultimate goat of 160-180. It sucks to get stuck!

Me too, I don't think it hides anything...but seems to keep the jiggle at a minimum. I can hardly do anything without them on!

I LOVE this confession! My hubs has been making comments lately too about my *kitten*...though it still has a ways to go in my opinion! I love that he notices my weight losses as a man...a horny man!

I really like the Premier Protein shakes from Costco. They have 30g protein, and only 160 calories. They really help me get the protein in since meat is sometimes very hard for me to eat.

That is so true!!! I know we, as an ambulance company make sure our crews drop off 'goodie bags' every simgle time they go in to pick up or drop off for a transfer. Occasionally nurses will ask about healthier snacks...but as soon as I change the bags to healthy stuff, we get a rash of nurses that are upset that the…

Awesome! Congrats to you!

I was 278lb 7 years ago when I had lap band. I lost 100 in the first year, but put 40 on after I had a baby 3 years ago. I find that my 'pouch' size is still small, but I was not being careful about drinking calories. I am using MFP to knock that 40 back off, and have lost 13 so far. Good luck in your journey...is was one…

So sorry about your loss, I can't imagine the loss of a child in a family! Praying for you and yours on this sad anniversary.

I am the customer relations RN for an Ambulance company. My hours allow me to work out every morning before work which is great. BUT the guys at the office eat lunch out every day! My struggle is eating healthy when out to lunch with the guys...portion control and having a healthy breakfast (premier protein shake and…

I have Jawbone Up. It is super easy to use and sync with my phone. It doesn't monitor heart rate, but meets my needs as a beginner who is just looking to improve a little day by day:)

Manicures, pedicures, facials, hair services...those are the goal/rewards I have set for myself at 15, 30, 45...
