Woohoo!

At the gym a lot.

I love the idea of classic cocktails on the playa. When my husband and I went, we were tent campers and built a monkey hut for shade so I couldn't conceive of how you kept the buttercream cool and beautiful out there. We're going to have some difficult logistics this time as two of our friends are coming from out of…

Went on a date with an Egyptian PhD rocket scientist who was apparently looking for an American to marry for citizenship. He drove horribly, left his bank account statement on the coffee table when he had to run in and grab his jacket real fast, and he talked about his mother a lot on the date.

These are hilarious. I've never named my ***** but maybe I'd go with Sekhmet. Lion goddess of war and healing ;-)

Metallica specifically for Enter Sandman. I discovered the Christmas lights I had strung around my room flashed in time to most of the album.

I can't believe how fast tickets sold out this year. I went in 2010 and there was an estimated 50k people that year and I read that last year was the biggest burn yet. With the super fast sell out this year I wonder if they're going to release more tickets or not.

I found a Supernatural mix on Pinterest that I find myself listening to often. http://8tracks.com/darkspells/carry-on-my-wayward-son

Started watching Supernatural last year and am finally all caught up. My favorite cancelled shows are Firefly, Rome, Deadwood, and Buffy. My favorite shows that aren't on TV nearly enough are Game of Thrones, Downton Abbey, and Sherlock. I'm also trying to watch Bitten and Sleepy Hollow but they're just not sucking me in.…

Wow. It's hard for me to even fathom what a different life you must be leading now compared to a year and a half ago. So many congrats and well wishes on your journey.

I'm an on again off again member too. I seem to get within 5 lbs of goal and then lose focus and gain it back. Not this time. I'm tired of my knee and hip hurting and having to start over again. Add me if you need more support.

I live in L.A. near Griffith Park and Dodger Stadium. There's some fantastic hidden stairways in my neighborhood that I like exploring while walking my dog.

It's surprising since I live in the middle of L.A. but I've seen coyotes, skunks, deer, and raccoons in my neighborhood.

Microwaveable rice cooker, brown rice, and some frozen veggies. Cheap good for you and easy. Ditch the crackers and the 100 cal stuff. It's just filler and doesn't really sate you.

Bizarre. I'd definitely ask for a rebate. Seems really odd to me that they wouldn't do a check of the saunas and locker rooms before leaving. Also ***** at them for wasting all that energy at night.

Many congratz on the weight lost and I'm sure you're giving the guys whiplash these days.

24 lbs does make a big difference that you can really see in your side photo. Many congratz!

Some people on here have done it. Check out the success stories threads and there's some people there that are very inspirational.

Peanut butter is a good source of protein, kids like it, and it's reasonably cheap. I get most of my protein from dairy in the form of cottage cheese, protein shakes, and Greek yogurt. String cheese is another kid friendly source of protein.

You look fantastic. Many many congrats on your perserverance.

Wow! You look like you also lost 10 years. You look so much younger in your after picture it's remarkable.

My husband has TMJ and has similar symptoms to what you describe. He really aggravated it by chewing gum especially while he was driving. Apparently chewing gum in L.A. traffic caused him to clench his jaw so much that he caused himself harm.

I shower everyday but I only shampoo my hair every other day and I've found I've had a lot less breakage.

Toast the oats in the oven and sprinkle into greek yogurt. If you need it a little sweet add honey or stevia. Also I make a batch of oatmeal according to directions on container on Sunday and eat it for breakfast with blueberries through the week.

I was asked at a wedding reception with martini in hand. So pissed and made me instantly depressed. Never never ask that question unless the person brings up their pregnancy first.

Wow. You look amazing and I have to agree with many other posters that you look so much younger now. You lost 100lbs. and 15 years.

This is the first year I've heard of it and definitely have some interest but I'd have to read up real fast to get on the bandwagon.

Horsey! You look fantastic and love the pony pics.

I agree with the steel cut oatmeal people on here. I think it's a much better texture as it's more like rice than that nasty gummy instant stuff. I make weekly batch of it on Sunday and then eat it through the week for breakfast because it takes so long to cook. I eat mine with blueberries.
