Hit 2 non-scale goals this week! I finally weigh less than my skinny 6'4" husband (I'm 5'6"), and I finally found boots that my calves will fit into! Most wide-calf boots still won't fit, but I'm super happy with these. Woohoo!

Hello! Looks like this group is kaput, but just in case... I'm an RPCV, Dominican Republic '03-'05.

I can easily wear and remove my Peace Corps ring!! I didn't think that was ever going to happen again!

I try to buy the stuff I don't like, too, but it's soooooooo hard. Just haven't bought anything yet. Gonna wait till the last minute if I can.

Hello! Welcome back! If you're ready, MFP will help you reach your goals, your way. Enjoy the journey!

Good to know, @usmcmp , thank you!

@workinonit1956 It doesn't. That's what I'd assumed too. You have to go into settings and re-save (or change if you want) your preferences for rate of loss & activity level. @usmcmp why a slower rate when closer? (I'm not even halfway yet, just wondering) All: many thanks!

@BZAH10 Thank you. I'd been assuming all this time that MFP would adjust automatically as I went along. Just fixed my daily goal from 1670 to 1490. That should help a lot! I do have some small fitness and other non-scale goals, I could certainly invest more energy along those lines. @shinycrazy thank you, will do! It's…

Ooh...also...I've noticed that my daily calorie goal hasn't changed in AGES. Does MFP not automatically drop it as our weights fall? Or do I need to go in and adjust something?

I just hefted a 5-gallon water bottle. Holy criminy. Did I *really* lose that much?!

Hunny says I can't wear these jeans in public anymore. Too baggy. (Don't worry, they won't fall- I've got the wrong shape for that.)

Yeah!! I needed you today :) ONLY 55 lbs to go!

That is AWESOME

Several lately, which is good because the scale hasn't moved for a week. 1- my brother in law stopped by and commented on my loss. Haven't seen him since mid February, so he last saw me at my "before" weight. 2- I am absolutely amazed at how much easier it is to walk around our hilly neighborhood now. Even in this…

I'm still in a G cup now, despite 31 lbs lost. I'd love to be smaller (and...er...higher) but willing to wait until I reach goal and prove to myself I can maintain at least a year. Depends on whether they shrink any on their own, too. Still have over 50 lbs to go. Also, the Big C runs in my family, so it's entirely likely…

Wednesday complete...where is everybody?? Starting Thursday early 'cause omg that looks hard AND b/c I'll be on the road tomorrow.

Accept. Missed these!

They are good. Right now though I have frozen pineapple spears. Best popsicles ever.

Cumin, garlic. Anything spicy. My Sri Lankan SIL blessed me with some of her "chilli" which is HOT but amazing. I like 5 spice on some things, because I adore licorice/anise/fennel flavor, but it doesn't work for everything.

Or any sci-fi reader.

This thread makes me so happy. I don't have any now, but used to have a pueblan milk, named Louise (first to get the reference wins a prize), and a California King named Ophelia. Our resident has a ball python named Israel, but we don't have room for one that big so he lives with her mom. Got to meet our yard snake just…

This. Lots of the best don't/didn't read music. I can, but can't learn by ear worth a darn. Singer, here. Symphony chorus & church, mainly. I know enough piano to annoy everyone around me.
