I have been having "just wanna give up" days for the past 2 months. And in fact, I have given up. Even though I said "this time" I would never give up. So much for that. I'm currently searching for a good reason to get going again. Yesterday I got back some less-than-satisfactory blood work from my physical. I shouldn't be…

I'm not saying that eating clean isn't a good thing. But I know it's not realistic for me at this point in my life. AND since I'm mildly OCD anyway, I'm really trying not to freak out over every little thing... anymore. So if I feel like some Cool Whip, you can bet I'll eat some. I believe in what my grandmother used to…

I don't even know what a couple of those are, and I see your point. But it's not like I would eat it very often. Haven't in years as a matter of fact. But there are questionable ingredients in LOTS of things. Nothing surprises me with food anymore! :laugh: :laugh:

I bet that was awesome! I know I hate that I have to lose SO MUCH weight before anyone even notices... :blushing: But it is awesome that they DO notice when they finally do! I mean 39 pounds is a LOT of weight! Congrats, and may you have many more moments like that one :flowerforyou: :drinker:

Nope, I'm missing out on all the same stuff. Sigh... join the club! We should start a "what's the big deal about Cool Whip?" thread. I bet SOMEONE would tell us! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

APPARENTLY there is some sort of inside Cool Whip joke going around which I have tried to chase down but which no one seems to want to fess up to. :grumble: Lol. :laugh:

I second that. And I don't think you should be responsible to call people out on their BS. I think you put it well, actually. :drinker:

100+ pounds is "all" I've got to lose, lol! How do you go about trying to find a hypnotist? Phone book? Internet? I'm definitely open to the idea...

Thanks girl! I appreciate the support!

Just wondering, if it's not too personal... how's the hypnosis going? How much does it cost? I have been interested in finding out more about hypnosis for a while now. Just wondering what you thought about it...

Wow, that is amazing! Way to go!!! :flowerforyou: Any suggestions/recipes for success for those of us who need to get where you are? Keep up the great work! I'm so happy for you!!! :drinker:

Hey guys, thank you so much for the "tough love!" Some things were grosser than I had in mind (and yes, Sonja, I feel like I look scarily close to the second icky pic too!), but all your advice was very useful! I still feel like crap from the antibiotic, but I am going to try and curb my misbehavior. After all, just…

Wow, that's awesome! Congrats on your new family! And kudos to you for giving those girls a wonderful home! :bigsmile: :flowerforyou:

Would someone please fill me in on this Cool Whip obsession?? :sad: I feel like a space cadet! :embarassed:

Hey guys, I am in no way trying to whine, but I really need someone to kick my butt! I haven't been feeling that well for the past week (yucky ear infection and antibiotics). However, I don't want any of that to be an excuse for me. But what the heck am I doing? I've barely been exercising, and I haven't been eating as…

I asked for no salt, NO SALT on the margarita, but there were big grains of salt... :grumble: Save the vodka, then I'll set the building on fire :explode: :laugh: That has to be one of the all-time best movies ever... hilarious!!! :laugh:

In my anatomy class, we talked about muscle twitches being related to dehydration, but I'm not so sure I buy that. I've experienced it when there's absolutely no way that I'm dehydrated! Weird, weird, weird...

I'll set the building on fire...

Ummm... yeah.... I wasn't aware of any meeting with the Bobs....

I hate that too :grumble: :grumble: :grumble: Haha! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I'm so glad to hear that you've had your "ah ha" moment before you got all the way back to square one! I have never caught myself that early on. Kudos to you for making it happen! Best of luck to you... you ARE worth it! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Sounds delicious! :love: I love spicy foods... may just have to try this one!

Glad to hear about your (and your wife's) progress! Congrats, and keep it up!!! :drinker:

I'd like to get rid of loose clothes, but my hubby told me last time I did that that I should hold onto them "just in case." I think it would be better for me mentally if I did get rid of them, so that I won't have that to fall back on. If my clothes are getting tight, then I would HAVE to lose weight. I don't know about…

Dare I ask...... what's with you and Cool Whip???

What an *kitten*! Even if he does care deep down and happens to think that in some twisted way that he's actually helping to motivate you, clearly he is NOT! I am not one to tell you what to do or who to love, but if this is not the first time you've told him that his attitude isn't helping you... he's not going to get it.…

CONGRATULATIONS!!! Woot woot!!! That is wonderful news!!! Great work!!! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :love: :love: :love: :happy: :happy: :happy: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :heart: :heart: :heart: I'm so happy for you... can you tell? :laugh:

Dude you crack me up... every single post of yours that I read.... keeps me in stitches! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

That Wii Fit cracks me up too, haha! "That's obese!" Then she blushes bright red :blushing: and acts like she's going to fall over because she just all of a sudden got super fat! Lol. It is cute though. I get those stupid little sayings stuck in my head... :grumble: "measuring.... measuring..." Haha! Gotta love it though!

Don't be discouraged. Infection plays all kinds of havoc with your body, such as increasing your blood glucose. The body needs extra nutrients to fight off the infection. But don't worry. The work you are putting in now will likely still show up on the scale in the next week or two. Just be sure to stay hydrated! I think…
