That's so true. We beat ourselves up something fierce don't we? I'm glad that you decided to stop doing that to yourself.

That's a cause for celebration for sure! Keep it up!

I'm new too. This should be a great motivator for me to keep going. How do I get my stating weight to you?

I can't stand the taste of soda anymore. I used to drink a large Coca Cola almost every day. Until I stopped drinking it for a couple months I had no idea how truly sickening the taste of it really is. Yuck!

That's one huge accomplishment! Congratulations!

When someone that comes into my office is stinky for whatever reason. I mean come on! I have to work in there all day and we aren't allowed to open any windows!

Secondhand Panties (Secondhand Lions- a very good movie btw)

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Panties.

One thing I secretly enjoyed when I was in the Army was running behind a particular officer during pt. the view was very motivating...

I'm thankful for my children. They all have the best sense of humor. They can throw out some of the greatest zingers that make me just roll. Example: I asked my middle child if he would ever like to go skydiving with me. His reply, "Skydiving?" "Oh no, I'm a land creature not wanting to plummet thousands of feet." It was…

Nice garden! I do straw bale gardening combined with some containers. This year I have sixteen new bales and a pile of last year's bales that runs down the middle of my garden. The old stuff has sage, onions, potatoes and lemon balm growing in it. So far this year I have red kale, peppermint, spearmint, Cherokee purple…

Boy don't they? Mine do too.

I like to take 1/2 a cup of low fat cottage cheese, five ounces of sliced strawberries, three ounces or so of blueberries, a tablespoon of crushed walnuts and a teaspoon of cinnamon. Tastes like candy to me. I also like to eat it with pineapple or peaches.

Portion out the fries you meant to get and 'accidentally' drop the rest in the trash.

My husband passed out once due to dehydration and was fine after some fluids at the ER. I hope that things work out and you were simply dehydrated. Hang in there.

This! I also have an adorable dress is like to fit in that I bought ages ago. It's so feminine and pretty. The photo doesn't do it justice.

Good job! I know that feeling. My husband grabbed me around the waist today and commented that he could tell that I've lost weight. So far I've dropped five inches off my waist. Small but it is a victory for sure!

When you put tiny pieces of live coral onto rock in a saltwater aquarium you usually use superglue. I was puttering around with putting several frags (tiny fragments of live coral) into the tank. As I turned to walk away I realized that somehow a blob of glue had landed on the bamboo rug in front of the tank and I had…

I started getting fat rolls, never got "the look" from anyone, was having health problems, self esteem problems and problems with the fit of my clothing. I hated the way I looked naked (and clothed), hated feeling bad all of the time and my husband told me I'd started snoring more. I had no energy to do things. I'd come…

Professional pet butler and mom while at home. As for my work week... I don't talk about my work online. It's just a weird quirk I have.

This is my 1/2 border collie 1/2 Australian cattle dog Badger. He's a wonderful dog! These are my cats Leo (orange and white), Freya (Siamese) and Zoe (Torbie with extra toes). They are 11 years old, two years old and one yet old respectively.

Great job you two! Some people may look at my fourteen pounds and say meh but to me it is worth celebrating! I'm a quarter towards my goal weight lost which is exciting to me. I'm hoping that by fall ill be ble to wear some cute clothes and, more importantly, be ble to go on some great hikes near where I live.

...leaves thread quietly because the above gif is freaky.....

I confess that I just read this whole thread and found it highly interesting. I also confess that I really hate my thighs!

I ditched the bra extender two weeks ago, have lost 3 1/2 inches off my waist and am able to walk up three flights of stairs without feeling like I'm going to die at the top like I did three months ago!

Try to take the stairs every time instead of the elevator. Pick an exercise and do it for 30 days, adding reps/ weight in a reasonable pattern, get a water bottle with measurements on the side and tell yourself that every time an hour passes you will drink x amount of water from that bottle.

Tiny fresh powdered doughnuts. They are my kryptonite!

Once I reach my goal weight I'm going to go skydiving again. I've been once before for my birthday and really want to go again. I've got 39 pounds left before I hit my goal.
