I got some today for the first time. Picked up black cherry and chocolate almond crunch at Wal-Mart for $3.88 apiece. By the time I got my kid out of the toy department, paid and got home, they were pretty sufficiently thawed. So I peeled the lids off and tasted them. Chocolate almond crunch was VERY almond-y. As in, more…

Probably not new. New to me (ish). Sooooo good! Cheese, dried cherries and chocolate all for 170 calories. I don't eat breakfast usually, but I have one of these mid-morning almost every work day.

Had a bad day yesterday. I mean bad. Hungry all day, had a bad day, frustrated, etc, etc. Did not log. Did not care. Today started in a similar fashion. I woke up this morning and ate something I never normally would if I was counting. Then I came to work and ate a piece of Godiva out of the GIANT box a specialist sent our…

Speaking of my own experience, I have encountered men who dated me at 200+. One married me. We have divorced, due to the fact he is a *kitten*, but I digress. I am now engaged, but when I was single, I would not have looked down on some guy who wouldn't date me because of my weight. That's his right. Just as it was my…

Progresso Light chicken corn chowder and key lime Greek yogurt.

If I haven't eaten since lunch, I am like a monster when I get home after work (about 5:30). If I have something right before I leave work or on the drive home like an apple or a handful of nuts, I find it keeps the edge off until dinner so that I'm not tearing through the cabinets like a maniac.

I don't like having to pretend I'm not out of breath after walking up a couple flights of stairs. I want to be around, active and able to be a part of my son's life. I am getting married next year, and I want to live a long and healthy life with him. I want to be able to shop for clothes without feeling bad about myself.

I don't know why this never crossed my mind. I was looking at dumbbells the other day and "meh"ing over not wanting to spend what they cost when I have a couple resistance tubes at home that are good enough for the moment. Checking out Goodwill this weekend!!!

I did think about this one! Pot roast in the crock pot is so ridiculously easy.

Thanks! Prep time isn't super important. I will be home all day Saturday and half Friday while he works so I have time. As for calories.... I don't know, maybe shoot for 800 max? I am at 1490 per day and am a grazer. 800-900 is typically what I have by dinnertime. I think he gets 1650 a day or something close.

Took my BP today. I take medication because, untreated, mine has been known to reach scary highs. Even medicated, it trends to the high side. I shamefully admit that I need a refill, so I haven't taken it in a couple of days. This morning, my BP unmedicated was 131/82. Not ideal, but a TREMENDOUS achievement for me.

Haha 10/10

All you can do is try. And keep trying. He sounds like he is doing everything he can to make the relationship a good one. If you talk to her and there really is no other rational reason for her dislike, I'd just say keep plugging and she will come around (hopefully).

Sounds to me like your mom is being a bit irrational. Having a big age gap is not a real legit complaint assuming there's nothing illegal/immoral going on (in this case not). There must be something else going on in her head. I'd try to talk to her, especially since he seems to be trying and everyone else likes him.

Have you asked what, specifically, is the problem they have?

Amen. My parents hated my son's dad when we first met (and, really, the entire relationship). 10 years and a divorce later, I wish I had listened. Though, I at least got my little dude out of it! Thankfully, they adore my fiance, so I don't have that problem. But I definitely would have listened and at least tried to see…

Is this "new"? I don't know. New to me, at least, by a few weeks. I have tried two different ones now (the sunflower butter one shown here and a hummus/trail mix/fruit/veg one). They are not cheap (just under $6 at Publix), but OMG SO GOOD! I figure you could easily spend $6 on a burger and fries and feel a lot worse about…

This excites me, as I went over yesterday but had "leftovers" from the week.

I used to get blisters on the balls of my feet from walking. I happened to go into a Fleet Feet store to get new shoes, and the guy there said I needed better socks. I can't tell you which socks to get (he suggested a really pricey pair, but I went with some UnderArmor ones that he said were just as good), but you might…

This for real! I saw a lady yesterday using a machine that I've eyeballed before. I think I am tackling that today!!!

It just keeps getting better and better.....

Laziness, complacency, fear of failing and feeling even worse about myself.

I was having a really bad morning until I came here. Thank you, masses.

I started going to the gym almost two years ago; I went for a year or so and then stopped and got lazy. I very recently went back. I don't know if I get the looks or not. And, really, I try not to think about it. I go to planet fitness, and I know some people don't like it for various reasons, but I really do. I really do…

Those baskets look like they are filled with Christmas ornaments... I call shenanigans... that lady is clearly fake struggling.

Does anyone NOT target workouts? Target is best for toning/building and non-target (wth would you call that?) is best for burning cals. Amirite? Or wrong? I have looked this stuff up, and opinions are, well, you know what opinions are like.... So why not get more!?

I haven't had that issue, but my friends list says all my friends haven't logged on in 3-4 days when they clearly have.

Hi there! I, myself, am divorced (3 years this December). We separated suddenly, as well, when I found out he had been cheating on me. I lost a good amount of weight the few months after that, but it was in an unhealthy way. And I ended up gaining most of it back. Now, though, I am engaged to an amazing guy who is taking…

I am SO glad this isn't just me. I don't know what happened to this place. I feel pretty sure I used to enjoy Subway; but it seems like every time I've been there in the past year, it tastes like eating cardboard with mustard on it. NOTHING has any flavor. Even the tomatoes just taste like water.

Usually bring lunch with me. I have some lunch containers that are sectioned that I like to use. Usually has in it a wrap with turkey, laughing cow cheese and mustard and some fruits and veggies for sides. For veg, I'm partial to carrot chips, sweet bell pepper slices and cherry tomatoes (ok, so that's really a fruit...)…
