I'm reading The Exemplary Husband: A Biblical Perspective by Stuart Scott ... and finding it blunt and honest and helpful. I recommend it. On my commute I listen to books on tape (is that reading?), and I'm slogging through the Cole and Hitch series by Robert B. Parker. They made a movie based on the first book in the…

I think about this meme sometimes and wonder how OP is doing these days.

This is giving me anxiety

Step 1: Put about 4-oz of cool water into a cup. The water should be warmer than cold, but cooler than luke. Step 2: Put a butter knife into the water with the blade side sticking out. Step 3: Take as deep a breath as you can and hold it while you ... Step 4: Carefully drink the water down. Cures the hiccups every time.…

This may be what they were talking about. Somewhere in this thread there is link to a shareable Google Sheets document that is pretty amazing. https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10244142/list-of-foods-with-highest-protein-calorie-percentage/p1

G. Hughes Barbecue Sauce. Only 33 calories per 100g. Saved my life.

... I got nothing

Saw this in a comment from a different MFP forum, after a family member said they were lucky to have lost so much weight. I don't remember who the commentor was, because words tend sink deeper than names. "The harder I work, the luckier I get."

I just wanted to bring this one to the front of the thread in case anyone missed it. I think about this post a lot.

I wake up earlier than anyone else does at my house. This morning I was going about my business, singing out loud the only verse I could remember of Please Come to Boston, and then my wife woke up. It was all exceedingly normal. She called me babydoll and kissed me. We talked about our jobs, and the chickens, and all the…

You know ... everyone else will remember 2020 for a whole mess of terrible things, but you will remember it as the Year of the Pushup. Bravo! Good for You!

100 lbs is significant weight loss, which means that you've done something that most people will never do. That's something to be proud of for sure.

Wow! This is not just a transformation ... it's a metamorphosis! Great work

Hey, I'm rooting for you!

Funny! Well done

Me and Skinnypop Kettle Corn got a thing going on. This seemed like a safe place for me to say that.

It's true. Much of Ohio is like that depressed trailerpark that used to be nice and well-kept, but now it's just a place to buy weird looking meth and probably not a good idea to get out of the car.

When I was a kid my parents would take us to visit SeaWorld™ on the shores of beautiful Geauga Lake. This is where I learned that even killer whales can be boring. I also learned the bitter disappointment of watching other people swim and water ski while I sweated through my clothes on painted concrete stadium seating. The…

What is your purpose? I love that question. The first thing that pops into my head is that I have three human beings who belong to me (and I belong to them). I may not be able to make them be happy, but I can try. That's at least part of my purpose.

I admire your tenacity, @bubus05 ... but as of this minute, you have 23 total posts on MFP, and 210 disagrees. That's plain amazing to me. Now I'm not saying that proves or disproves anything about your beliefs, but you've definitely found yourself a hot topic. You must understand by now that people here are going to…

Lot's of good things happened when I started losing weight, but this thread reminds me of one thing I miss about the old roly-poly days. Back when my blood sugar was raging out of control, I used to get thirsty on an almost supernatural level. In those days, water was the sweetest ambrosia. Nothing else would do. Even…

^^ Lots of wisdom in these two quotes ^^ I think that it would be helpful to understand that mental illness comes from within, and you can't point to someone's unhealthy compulsions and say THAT's what caused their mental illness. It's nonsense.
