I got my first warning a few weeks ago. I made a crack about the whole lose vs loose thing and got my hand slapped. But it bothers me SOOO much!!! #grammarnazisunite

I agree with @rugratz2015, use this time to just DO YOU. Stay single, in fact actively avoid dating for a while. Get to know yourself outside of a relationship, learn to enjoy your own company and function on your own. Get a babysitter and go out with some girlfriends! The more you sit around and feel sorry for yourself…

Others have said something to this effect, but it's not like every day of the entire three months is a holiday. The week of Thanksgiving or Christmas or a party coming up or whatever I'll just cut myself short a little on calories the other days to allow for the extra I'll be taking in later that week. Creating a calorie…

35 down already, 41 left to go to get to 199!

My treat day was last night. A gigantic fluffy pretzel (I was only able to eat half) with beer cheese sauce to dip it in, one of my favorite IPAs, and a few vodka sodas. Nummmmm....

@fr33sia12 - THANK YOU!!! Never knew that was there but always thought it'd be so much easier to find foods if they were alphabetical. I just tried this and it worked!

Start to get my finances on track by paying down some debt. The money I'm saving by not going out for dinner/drinks lately is helping a lot!

I've been on the shot (Depo Provera) for like, 20 years and it's never made a difference for me. I gain, I lose, I gain again, I lose again. It's not the birth control, its the choices I'm making.

I miss my Friday night wine and pizza ritual.

I'll read most anything that isn't Sci-Fi or Romance. My favorite genre is probably historical fiction. And I'm always looking for recommendations!! (hint... hint hint)

Bad spelling, inappropriate punctuation, slow walkers, being interrupted, and my hair getting stuck to my lip gloss.

I know the OP said which *one* food, but much like potato chips, I can't have just one. I'm going with pizza, nachos, sushi, and wine. Allll the wine. And for those of you trying to educate us on the meaning of "unhealthy" foods, please step down off your high horse and have some fun with us would you? :)

Wine and pizza. I just keep going until it's gone.

I know none of want to think this will happen, but also don't make the same mistake I did. A few years ago I lost around 50 pounds and got rid of all my "fat" clothes pretty much immediately. My logic was that it would be a lot harder to backslide if it meant re-buying everything. Turns out that didn't stop me and I gained…

Feeling guilty for doing things that make me happy.

Surfing Pinterest, avoiding my to-do list, and rehydrating after too many drinks last night and light workout earlier.

By drinking vodka soda you are hydrating in a sense. Soda water IS water... You can justify anything if you try hard enough. :)

There are shorts similar to Spanx called Skimmies and they're made by Jockey. Not nearly as tight as Spanx, they're more to smooth things out than suck things in, and they go to mid-thigh. I wear them all the time with dresses and skirts (wearing them right now actually!) and have never had a problem with visible lines.…

People that want to chit chat. I'm there to work out, not to socialize.

You fast for three days? Like, zero calories for three days? I've done 24 hours or so before but three I'm not sure I could handle. I'd be pretty crabby. What's your experience been like?

Same here. I need to lose at least 100 and I'm down 26lbs as of this morning. Aside from a slight difference in my clothes so far my loss isn't noticeable. No one in my life has said anything yet, aside from my mom who I know is just being supportive. I took pics at the 20 pound mark, in the same dress I was wearing when I…

I'm a long way from maintenance but I'm positive that the day will never come where I don't have to fight the urge to say "eff it" and wolf down a whole pizza.

Losing weight is hard. Being fat is also hard. Pick your hard. No idea who said this, but I like it. :)

I do try to log my alcohol calories just to keep myself accountable. To be honest I don't always recall exactly how many vodka sodas I drank, so it's an approximation at best. :) I also have noticed the phenomenon of weighing less the morning after drinking (assuming of course that I didn't eat the entire contents of the…

I'm 5'4". SW: 275 CW: 250 First GW:200 I've dropped 25 and notice a difference in how some of my clothes fit and my belly feels smaller. No one in my life (coworkers, friends, etc) has said anything yet but after looking at my 25lb before and after pics I can see why, it's not all that noticeable to others yet. Soon I hope!

I have a stupid question. I can't figure out if the MFP app on my phone will let me take a pic and post it directly on here. Can I do that or do I have to take the pic, send it to myself, then post it from my computer?

If it makes you feel any better I rocked my diet four days in a row and then last night dinner was six (yup, 6) vodka sodas and scrambled eggs. It's all about balance. ;)

A Lean Cuisine. The white cheddar mac & cheese one with a packet of Taco Bell hot sauce mixed in. Normally I make lunches to bring to work but was too tired last night to make anything. I always keep a few Lean Cuisines on hand for just such an occasion.

It's food p*rn!

I try not to drink at home anymore, it's far too easy to let one glass of wine turn into six and then I'm eating everything in the fridge. Most bars don't have diet tonic or many of the other mixers listed in this thread so far. My go-to lately has been vodka sodas, the only calories are in the vodka. Stoli Blueberri and…
