Ohhh myyyy. Yup. Drooling now, thanks.

That thing is just asking to be mauled. It would be an insult to cut it!

I could not sleep after watching this one. I am still having trouble processing it!

Looks good!

You can definitely make some small changes to add some healthy-ish calories. Do you like eggs? You can slice a hard boiled one up and eat on a salad to add some extra cals and protein. Eggs in general would be a good addition if there is a way you can manage to eat them. I also use a bit of olive oil to cook my veggies.…

At least a couple thousand. Easily. It's amazing how quickly you can burn through calories with booze. Before my gallbladder decided to revolt against me, I bet I could have hit the 8k club :)

Hmm. I do love me some pancakes.

*drool* and such delicious saborage at that

I think you need to go review the "Kitties" thread. If that doesn't work, yeah. I work in IT. I can toss some end users your way :smile:

Ha, that's great! Way to go! May you continue to be kicked out of stores in that case :)

Love it! Great thread for a Friday afternoon :)

Hot tea. Or cocoa. It's not so bad if you use packets or at least are paying attention to portion control. I also read. Put my brain in an entirely different world for a while. It's the only way I can manage to get it to "shut down" for a while.

I started by working in some substitutions. Light bread or sandwich thins instead of the full calorie stuff. Grilled or baked stuff vs fried. Mustard instead of mayo. You can make some small changes that eliminate some big calories and still allow you to eat "normal" stuff.

Well played, sir. Well played.

A variation of the lifting one... I don't need to lift, I just need some bands to tone those areas I want.

This explains so much. What if you alternate catfood and pizza/ice cream? That has to be the best diet scenario ever! Thanks to you and your husband. You may have just saved my marriage!

As my ticker shows, I was very over weight. My hubby says my snoring has completely disappeared. My sleep also feels a lot more restful.

Definitely check that thread out. For my main pointers, I'd say to you: 1)MFP does set me at 1200, IF i try for 2 lbs a week. I lowered my goal to accomodate a bit more food each day to fit my comfort level. It has to be maintainable! 2) That 1200 is before exercise. MFP's plan wants you to eat at least some of those back…

Do NOT try cookie butter (also known as biscoff spread) either. For the love of all that is holy!

You definitely need to talk to my hubby. He works out enough specifically so that he has calories for a nightly beer. It's not a problem as long as you're honest with yourself and include it in your tracking.

We've done Book themed showers for some of the guys in our office. Everyone brings their favorite kid book or two for him to start or add to their kids' library.

I hope I am not violating some inate woman code by confirming this one. :smile:

All you hot chicks together in Utah. Sounds like sexy party time to me!

Deceit and defensive behaviors are not ones you want to start a relationship on. Do yourself a favor and do not put up with it. You deserve better!

#1 Yes, health. I don't want to become my dad/grandpa/grandma and get diabetes, heart disease, etc. Or die early. #2 To like myself again. This one ecompasses a lot of mental barriers for me, the physical being just one of the hurdles.

Wow, that's terrible. I once asked an ex if he would love still love me if I got fat. He asked "how fat". Yeah, he was serious. And so was I when I asked it. I had suspicions on the answer. Obviously that one didn't last. Anyway, I commend you for not letting his words get to you. I am surely not so strong. However, I do…

Moving this one back into view so those getting home can read the awesomeness as well. Excellent advice. ** Just adding that you have done and look great! Definitely no need to feel embarrassed about posting the pics!

Good grief. Some of you really need a sense of humor. I know what you mean, OP. My now hubby was pretty picky before we started our battle to lose. We went out to eat and had many drinks, the Pizza guy knew us on a first name basis... and yeah, when I cooked, I was catering to his tastes because I wanted to make him happy.…

More IT Porn + Work computer = NO It's especially bad when you play it for a whole meeting of executives. They tend to look down on that. (Yep, it happened at a previous job and the guy was walked out immediately). We will also find and delete your music/movie collections.

Driving in too confined of an area. Work zones with the barriers right on the lines, or driving in a middle lane with a semi truck on both sides nearly throws me into a panic attack.
