Marriage - I got married in the very small church we were attending, at the time... I had a friend make my dress - half because I was poor, half because I was fat - the dress cost something like $100 to make - and I sewed the pearls on, myself. The whole wedding - cake, punch, dress and all, cost less than $400. Even in…

Hello Gracious Girls! I have been having a lovely weekend... I enjoyed my jammie day to the fullest - and then I went to the gym and to dinner with DH. Yesterday was out and about day - shopping, shopping and more shopping - with another trip to the gym. Had to get that last weight workout in! Today was lawn mowing, the…

Hello, Slinky Sweethearts! It’s another glorious day in Northern TX – HOT, but glorious. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ DJ – 85 to 90 is about the perfect water temp, as far as I am concerned... Love swimming in my Mom’s pool when it’s around 90. I have gotten used to the heat, now... I don’t LIKE it when it’s…

Hello Darling Divas! Not much to report... got the plank up to 1 minute... so that is good. Nothing like a measurable goal... Re: Shorts... My standard “uniform” at home is shorts and a sports bra... although I have taken to wearing a long-line girdle under them. I figure compression from the ribs to the knee can only help…

Hi Trish! 1) Clear out some freezer space. 2) cook a small pot of something you like - spaghetti sauce, (heavy on the vegetables), stew, whatever you like that freezes. 3) fill zip-lock bowls with single servings - freeze. Repeat with three or four things, over several days, and not only will you have proper food to eat…

Hello, Stylish Sisters! Well, I have to say, this weekly goal tracking thing seems to be having the desired effect – well, that and keeping the bag of chocolate out of arms reach... The scale is already flirting around 192. Whoot! I realized, the last time I checked in on my profile page, that I am exactly ten pounds from…

Hello, Fierce Friends! Just checking in with my weekly goals...I have had some time issues this week, so I am a smidge behind on my strength training... you will notice half an X below... I was able to get about half of my workout in tonight... I will push for the other half, tomorrow... but, I have an early meeting at…

Oh Allie; Perhaps he outlined a few of the things that YOU have done for him over the last umpteen years and she ran screaming for the hills! No matter what he says... no matter what he does... please, Dear... stick to your guns. For all we know, this is just a ploy to get you to stay with him so he can keep his live-in…

This is more before and during... still working on it. 2005 to this afternoon.

I had a single AHA moment the first time I lost significant weight... I woke up one morning, and cringed as I set my feet on the ground... My feet and legs ached to the knees every single day when I got out of bed. I was coming up on 40 yrs old, and had that moment of realization. My life expectancy is something like 90 to…

I have been large my whole life - from my early 20's I was significantly obese... I was never spit on, or anything - in fact, I never really noticed that people were treating me differently, until I lost some weight. I started - years ago - at 367 - but most recently, I maintained my weight at 275-ish for the last decade…

I think it's possible for you, ladies... your starting weight, while extreme to you, was not as horrible as you thought. Some of us... who once ballooned up to 367... have NO hope of every getting that hot bod without surgery. I am saving my money. You ladies - lift, plank and eat clean. I have seen a lot of pretty amazing…

I know, right? Like, where were all these 3x and 4x clothes when I NEEDED them? Now that I need a large - they are nowhere to be found? What is UP with that?

Hello, Cooking Cuties! Man, thank goodness I am getting ready to go to bed, because Heather is making me hungry... LOL. I love rice pudding! Another glorious day has passed, and I managed - JUST - to stay 400 calories under budget. Tomorrow is another weight day, and I did my planks, a few minutes ago - so, Planks for the…

Hello, Luscious Ladies! I made it to the gym today and had a good long workout... But, that is all I have managed. I am not sure whether it was because I worked out (and I never count any calorie burn for the weights, cause there is nothing in MFP for calories burned) or whether it was just because the darned pasta sauce…

Hello, Beautiful Babes! Just checking in on my goals... I am finding that reporting daily keeps me on task... Knowing I would not be able to report another day at 400 calories under budget is all that kept me from eating that second cookie... &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Barbie - Hugs! I am glad you and Jake are getting through…

Hello, Handsome Honeys! Just popping in to say hello. Did my planks, tonight.. 44 seconds on the full plank... 2 minutes on the knee plank... And so far, putting the chocolate across the room is working. And Michele - NO, I don't believe that walking across the room is sufficient calorie burn for chocolate... LOL. It just…

Hello Sassy Sisters! I am looked for my goals for June - and I realized I had never set any. Super. June was not a good month for me - no weightloss - at all. And I had many, many nights when I ate back my exercise calories - which is NOT a good thing... since 1) the calorie burn on MFP is super exaggerated and 2) I am NOT…
