So 2 days to surgery! I’m 29 days out and have lost 25 lbs. I’m a slow loser!

Has a scads of hundred dollar bills that he uses as floor boards.

I was making my children milkshakes a couple of nights ago and purposely made extra....uh...quite a bit extra....and downed it right out of the blender bowl. Chocolate chip ice cream has never EVER tasted so good.

I get MAD when I'm meeting all of my nutritional goals. I guess I would rather be emotional but it is what it is! I think for me it is sugar withdrawals. I NEED to cut sugar out altogether to fit the type of low-carb diet my doctor says I need due to boring medical stuff that I won't get into, but if I don't carefully put…

Oh my goodness. Lucky you! Haha. Sigh. I can't take Midol. It makes me dizzy and I feel even worse! But a coffee with a small piece of the darkest chocolate you can handle might do the trick. A walk will make you feel better after the fact, though I TOTALLY understand the lack of desire to get out of the house! I hope it's…

I haven't seen that, but I think it's kind of funny! Just one more thing for people to get offended about. I guess as a fat person, I am allowed to feel fat and not be offended. Another confession: I roll my eyes at EVERYTHING that people decide to get offended about on Facebook. And chuckle a little bit. :)

I'm extremely excited that Fox Mulder and Dana Scully are coming back to TV this summer. Also, I watch too much TV. Also, I haven't worked out for months. Also, I feel fat today. Also, I work from home and was still an hour late for work today. Um...anything else?

Jillian MIchaels workouts are on YouTube. The 30 Day Shred has received a lot of attention because it's 20 minutes and has some quick results. I've also heard good things about the Couch to 5K (C25K) program if you're interested in running.

Double Trouble! :)

Thanks for posting. Lots of people take something, most won't admit it on the boards. ;) I agree with you. It very well might be what the OP needs to help keep the cravings at bay while she learns about diet/exercise, and gets some of the bad crap out of her diet. Of course she will still need to keep track of her calories…

Turkey burger patty (I cooked a few of those yesterday for food emergencies) and 8 mini pretzels. Yeah...I'm lazy. :)

I think you are supposed to weigh yourself weekly. That said, I find weighing daily keeps my motivation up, so that's what I do. :)

He was mad that I ran off with my husband.

I appreciate your post so much! Well done! Can't wait to see the final Success Story!

Trenta Iced Coffee with light ice, whole milk and no sweetener.

I haven't kicked anyone in the head today.

If I understand correctly, you are 5'2" and weigh 97 pounds and you want to LOSE weight?

A good chicken salad might be shredded/chopped chicken, fresh cabbage, green onion, grated carrot and Asian spices/dressing. Mmmmmm! Because like I said: SALAD-salad is just not happening here for awhile. Oh, If you like sugar snap peas, they sell bags of them at Costco and they are crunchy and were my crack for a long…

I low-carb, so I like lean lunch meat wrapped around a string cheese, chopped veggies (like a salad, but only veggies I like and NOOOOO lettuce, because if I eat another SALAD-salad, I'm gonna go postal. argh!!!), atkins bars (sparingly), protein powder, lean sliced ham with cream cheese wrapped around a picked asparagus…

Loved this. I posted my "midway" success here today: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1426714-halfway-and-prediabetes-results

VERY motivational!!! Thanks for posting!

Holy cow. Did anyone read this? And I just got my Chike in the mail....

I loved the Lego movie for the most part, but really disliked the people being brought into it as well. If you want to see some SERIOUS hate getting thrown about, I should start a thread on how the Lord of the RIngs books were boring as crap, and the movies much better. And I think deep down everyone agrees with me, but…

When using syrup, I use pure maple syrup instead of sugar-based syrup. Might try adding that to the batter.

You look amazing! Well done!

Oh...I would love to, but I'm camping in BFE until the 5th! If anyone wants to start the 7th, let me know!

While I don't live there anymore, I'm from Montana. Really!

I so feel you. Over a year ago, I found Zumba and deep water aerobics, developing a love for both. I went to Zumba 5x/week and Deep water aerobics at least once a week, but usually more. So in other words, I was exercising a LOT and at high-intensity. I was eating 1400 calories a day. In 6 months, I lost about 3 pounds. I…

If you eat mainly whole foods and are still gaining, you might need to go back to counting calories. One thing I did recently that boosted my weight loos quite nicely was give up sugar and flour. I still need to count calories, personally, but I know a lot of people don't when they are eating clean.

Nah... I had popcorn and coke the other night at the movie and and just ate better the next day. I generally don't have sugar or refined foods, or tons of carbs, so that was a HUGE binge for me. I don't care! I'm doing so much better overall than I ever have in my adult life that I can get past it WHEN (not if) I screw up.
