I had a cat we called Little Kitty. She had a "real" name but I can't remember it. You can name a cat anything and call them anything. So let them name the cat Smokey, and call the cat Grey Cat. We all know the cat will only respond to whoever had food, whenever it feels like it. Or compromise with Greysmoke.

Definitely peanut butter, because I cannot eat normal portions of it. Hershey chocolate bars in abundance would be Awesome.

Wellbutrin definitely had appetite suppressant qualities when I took it. Unfortunately it also makes me manic, so I can't take it anymore. :'(

When I come home and see one of my cats peeking through the window waiting for me. When my husband tells me he'd rather have my cooking than any restaurant. Giving people gifts that they love.

Try boxing. Throwing punches can really work your shoulders.

Sleeping

I quit September 8 2010, not that I'm keeping track. I'd quit several times before for a few years at a time, but would get sucked back in by stress, or at the bar. I was never a heavy smoker, 1/2 pack a day usually. But it was getting worse as my stress and anxiety grew. And I wasn't enjoying it anymore. Then I had a…

I took it for migraines and anxiety. It made me a bit sluggish but didn't really affect my weight.

Don't walk, RUN from this guy. He has control freak written all over him. If he's like this 3 months in and you've already broken up, picture 3 years from now. He'll be telling you what to wear, who you can talk to and when....

I did about 4 rounds of CIZE. Loved it. Lost tons of inches and maybe 6 pounds. It's a lot of fun. I started doing Les Mills Combat 6 weeks ago for more of a challenge. There are a lot of people doing CIZE , I tried to start a group, but nobody really was into it. If you search the community you'll find the people doing it…

Sounds pretty accurate to me. There's some places around here that I'd bet the bagels were upwards of 500 calories, and that's before cream cheese. And the carbs..... Haven't had a bagel in a year.

I used to be a weight watchers success story. 80 pounds lost using points. I even became a leader. I maintained a while, then gained, got put on some meds that made me hungry; had some setbacks that made me depressed. Fast forward to 18 months ago when I tried ww again and nothing happened. Didn't lose a freaking ounce. So…

Because there's been issues with this for months. Sometimes they show, sometimes not. It's a crapshoot whether or not you'll see them. It's an MFP issue that has yet to be resolved permanent. Sorry.

My cats are Snicker Elizabeth and KitKat Theodore.

I agree with this. As long as you KNOW that it's fwb only and keep your expectations at that level. He isn't and will not become your boyfriend. He may be doing this with other women. Only call/text him when you need some, get in, do it and get out. I hope I don't need to but I will mention PROTECTION not just for birth…

Eating dinner

Many places will fail you for alcohol as well as drugs. They can't tell exactly when you were drinking. There is a huge similarity between alcohol and weed. People use both as recreational relaxants. Alcohol used to be illegal as well. Marijuana is becoming legalized for medical reasons all over the US, and decriminalized…

Most of my foods would be considered high calorie and high fat. I just eat smaller portions. I eat 2 eggs every day, along with bacon. This keeps me full for hours. I actually just switched from egg whites to whole eggs and the difference in satiety is incredible. I used to be hungry again in an hour or so, but now I can…

Do it for yourself. You're the one doing all the work. You're the one that feels better, looks better. She gets something out of that as well, but changing for others doesn't work out as well as changing for ourselves.

Me neither!

I confess I cannot stop eating peanut butter at night. I eat several spoons of it and it's probably the reason I haven't lost any weight recently. I can't take it out of the house because it's a staple in my husband's diet; but I may have to have him hide it from me.

I went to Curves. It's like going to the gym lite. It's circuit training on machines that don't have weight, where you do each machine in the circuit for a minute or 2, then go to a mat, where you can stretch, or run in place, or where I went they had Jillian Michaels videos you could do. It takes 30 minutes. If the ladies…

Assertive

Just realizing I loved exercise was huge. I was the girl in gym class who always found a way out of participating. When I got older I started working out and liked it. When I got even older, I realized I liked classes; dancing and kickboxing. So now that's what I do, almost every day.

Sushi rolls without rice are called Naruto rolls. Every place makes them a bit differently but it's usually crab, shrimp or salmon with avocado, wrapped with cucumber with a sauce. I've had some delicious ones but to me it's just not that filling.

I've been thinking about Marscapone cheese to use in place of ricotta in the whipped ricotta dessert I eat. It's 1/2 cup ricotta cheese, 1&1/2 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 packets of equal/Splenda/whichever sweetener you want. I'll have to try it.

I'm sorry that you went through that. It's a horrible place to be mentally. Dating sites can be brutal. Now that you are happy and comfortable in your own skin, someone will come along. It always happens that way.

I went to a similar dr several years ago. He was a general practice dr, who "specialized" in weight loss. It was a vlcd with a lot of shakes and bars and very little food. Definitely under 1000 calories. He gave me a b12 shot for energy, but I never lost any weight. Several of my friends were extremely successful but I'm…

In short, no. According to my calculations I should have lost about 20 more pounds. Apparently my body didn't get the memo. I have calorie deficits every day, but am losing at a snails pace. I haven't had a significant loss in months. It's very frustrating, but I keep trying.
