Dental Floss. Watch out now!!!

I have really - REALLY been struggling with this lately. I kinda fell off the wagon over the holidays, and it has been very hard for me to get back into the swing of things. I went back, and looked at my blog from when I was really successfull to see what I was doing then. I had kickstarted my weight loss by doing a 3 day…

"The only thing standing between you and your goal is the bull**** story you keep telling yourself as to why you can't achieve it."

Well, this is inspiring! I am getting Married in August, and I just bought my wedding dress. I weigh 226, and I have a size 16 dress. I would like to hit my goal weight of 165 (which would be a loss of 2 pounds per week) by August 31st - my wedding! I would LOVE to be in a size 10-12! On the plus side, my dress is SUPER…

Bump - I'd like to know too....

I'm 5'11. :happy: And - while the picture is FANTASTIC - don't let it fool ya. It's not a side shot by any means. I still have a pooch, and I don't like my legs OR my *kitten*. I still have 30-45 pounds I want to lose. But I'm getting there, and I'm proud of that!

I have suffered from S.A.D. since I was a kid. There are a few things that you can do, but just like managing any other depressive disorder, the majority of it is up to you. Sun lamps are a good idea. If you can't afford a sunlamp - try getting a tanning package at a tanning salon, and go at least once a week. Also, stock…

I-O!! Middletown - directly in the middle of Cincinnati and Dayton. =)

Wow. You look AMAZING. Congrats on your success!!! :heart: :flowerforyou:

I did the one in Cincinnati at the begininng of October. It was my veryfirstever 5k. I had never run before, so I used the C25k training app to prepare. It. was. AWESOME. Seriously, it was 100 times better than I had expected. I used both HumanaFit and Mapmyrun, and it came in at about 2 10ths of a mile over the standard…

I learned last night that Apple Cider Vinegar is the recommended natural cleaner for a ping pong table. I'm not sure how I feel about using something as a weight loss aid that is also a powerful cleaner and drain declogger... :sick:

I did the exact same thing. W5, D3 is my nemisis. I still have not done it. Mine was completely and totally mental. And I tried for WEEKS to get it done. It just wasn't happening. I ended up downloading the 10k app, and started back at week 3. I am still going through the program. I have not gotten back to week 5. But I…

I am kinda scared to ask. WTF is a meat stick? LOL

How Judgemental. I love when people punish an ENTIRE group of people for something SOME people in a group do. I am a smoker. I don't take extra breaks. Half the time, I don't even clock out to eat lunch. You think I should be fired from my job, because I participate in a LEGAL activity, work the same amount of hours as my…

I also suffer from seasonal depression - and have since I was a kid. I totally understand where you are coming from and have had a similiar breakdown over the last few days. My journey has taken me years so far, but I HAVE lost 70 pounds. I am one of those people that need a constant reminder of the successes I have had. I…

He may not be perfect, but he's perfect for me. Words can not describe how truely blessed I am to have him in my life. I am one lucky, LUCKY girl. :heart: :smooched: :love: :heart: :smooched: :love: :smooched: :smooched: :love:

I have lost nothing, ran and completed my first 5k, realized I have lost NOTHING since March, had a nervous breakdown, and wrote a pretty spectacular blog post today. And I still don't know what I want to be for Halloween, but the date for the party has been announced. 18 days is coming fast.

Bump!!!

Edited - picture wouldn't post... can't get the size right.

We have a German Shepherd/Lab Mix named Harley, and an Old English Mastiff named Lexus. We usually call her moose though. 10 Months old, and 130 pounds. Best. Dog. EVER. Honestly, I will NEVER own another breed other than an English Mastiff. :heart: :heart: :heart:

Yep. HelloitsDan and his roadmap is how I discovered all of this. I used all the tools spelled out there. I have tried calculating it that way, and the NROLFW way, and some other spreadsheet - and they all gave me the same (close to) number. I do consistantly log - but I just changed my settings to where only my friends…

I get where you're going -but no. Definitely not the same thing. LOVE those (well, one...). :blushing:

My nephew is afraid of holes. Period. Holes in the ground, holes in leaves, holes in doughnuts. Scares the hell out of him.

EXACTLY. Who in their right mind would go swimming in a fish tank, or baby pool full of snakes. I don't care if you offered me a million dollars for 5 seconds. It would happen over my dead body. Because I would probably see one, have a heart attack, and die.

Ophidiophobia - the fear of snakes. And before anyone tells me most of them are harmless - yes, I am aware - in YOUR sense of the word. I know that it will most likely NOT bite, strangulate, or otherwise attack me. But If it looks at me, sticks it's tounge out at me, or moves - I will have a heart attack, fall over, and…

Yessss. Again, and again. :love: :love:

Okay. So you MAY have gone over your calorie count **TODAY**. But how is your weekly count looking? One day doesn't so much matter in the bigger scheme of things. A bad day is a bad day - but if you are dilligent on a consistant basis, then ONE DAY isn't going to make or break you. Take a deep breath, remember this is an…

Here's my thought. Is she overweight? Yes, which she freely admitted in her response. Is this SINGLE aspect of her what defines her as a proper role model for young people? Because I see her differently. She has a great job, and has held that great job for many years. She is smart and well spoken. She has gone to college,…

I drink water like it's my job. I ususally have between 120-170 oz daily, on average. If I have a day where I don't drink that much - it's not pretty. I am tired, I have no energy, and I get cranky - and I feel like I am dying of thirst. And this is coming from someone who used to have *maybe* one serving of water a day,…
