Gumbo, mon cher.

Honestly I clicked this thread to offer you congratulations. There are so many people in this site who've started at a weight much higher than yours that hitting 200 is a real milestone. I recommend reading some stories and getting inspired rather than feeling lousy about it. If others can do it with so much further to go…

I stay friends with exs. I cut toxic family members off like mold on cheese. If OP doesn't want to do that, she has her reasons, but she should on no way subject herself to his tantrums--she should immediately leave/hang up without saying a word or explaining herself. He knows what he's doing, and her having to explain it…

I have it, I had it all through my very long and big-baby producing pregnancy too. I like it, though. I think it's sexy, like what belly dancers have. :)

I played the new Game if Thrones pinball today and it was SO fun! Do you have a favorite pinball machine? I have a bunch that I love, but they're all pretty much variations of Pinbot, besides the Next Gen machine. The Doctor Who pin is really fun.

This is a power struggle. He has no real power do he has to pretend to by belittling you. Don't let him. Hang up when he talks to you like that on the phone. Leave when he starts on you in person. Say nothing. He'll demand answers, and when he does, tell him why in plain terms without mentioning your feelings and tell him…

I'll have a beer or two here and there; I build it into my calorie allowance.

My ex got it for our daughter. I like that I can get Hulu on it.

That looks sooo yummy and creamy! I love saag. You have some seriously good skills.

We're neighbors, @Staceygram . I'm in Michigan.

Same. You'd fit in with either beard dudes kickin' around my place.

Good work! I also want to say that you and your friends look like a lot of fun!

Do a search for @fanncy0626 and read about her regimen and results. ^_^

@ana_varn You look ultra young in your before photos, and if you weren't I apologize for thinking you were an adorable moppet who's now a lovely lady with excellent taste in film. Go, you! :)

Ah, that explains it since I exclusively shop for sexy vodka online. ;)

Should be fine. For best results, rinse them and store them in the veggie drawer in an air-tight container with some paper towel lining the bottom. Produce shouldn't be kept in their bags. Moisture rots food. Carrots can be kept a long time if cool and fairly dry!

I live fruit and get as much in as I can while maintaining balance and my daily deficit. Fruit is fabulous! Cherries are great and fairly low sugar for fruit. If you thinking you're having too much in general, cut your fruit and store it in nice bins that'll keep it fresh. Then you can excercise portion control while still…

I realized I'd liked thinking of myself as a non-smoker. I liked my hair and skin to smell good. I bought some really nice products with money I would've otherwise spent on cigarettes and tried a new way to live. That was 2011 and I never smoked again. It was hard at first but I found focusing on the immediate positives…

Agreed! Also it feels a lot less cult-y here than other services I have used. That said... the hyper-sexy vodka ads I see on the home feed viewed on the phone app can be a little jarring, considering the body image and depression struggles that are fairly commonly discussed by users here. Not a big deal, but seems like bad…

OP You are awesome and have a rad beard. Friend me, I am very supportive. B)

YOU GUYS. I just snared 2 12-year-old girls into playing D&D this weekend. This may be my greatest achievement.

^I made spicy ginger tofu and eggplant tonight. It wasn't pretty, but it was tasty and vegan-friendly. Thanks ^_^

To quote Wayne Campbell: "I say puke. If you hurl and she comes back, she’s yours. If you blow chunks and she bolts, then it was never meant to be." Seriously, though. I have had so many things "wrong" with my body over the years. Not one guy ever rejected me for them, or even seemed to notice. Turns out, most are pretty…

I just want to say that I love your attitude! Good luck with your goals!

Does it? Can I send you a sample so you can run some test to confirm? :P My diet is good, kefir helps and is a good source of calcium to boot. No to low lactose in the brand I get as well. Supplements aren't monitored by the FDA, so I'll stick with what works for me, thank you.

Keep up the good work! PS I love your bangs!

^^^It helps replenish your natural gut flora so you stay regular.

I love hair, nails, and skin supplements. Everything else I try to get in my normal diet, though occasionally I'll take iron.

Raises some red flags for me too. Feels a bit like negging.
