I was just thinking that this guy is a master... then I read the last bit. Seriously? The point of a joke is to get her annoyed, not to plant seeds of doubt into her psychy about your fidelity. She will never, NEVER 100% believe that you were joking.

Now, see, there ARE things to do that are fun without going too far! Jokes including feces are just nasty and I certainly can't imagine wanting to be married to someone who thinks it is OK. The plastic wrap over the toilet would be funny in the middle of the night so long as you don't wake up groggy and forget about it :-)

I know that check-in is officially Sunday but I had a quiet moment that I thought I would take advantage of this morning. Since I am just beginning I chose to cut the challenge goals in half for my own goals. I managed to succeed in two of them- Green days: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday Water consumption: 4 cups on W & F…

Oh, introduce myself- Um, 38yo, 5'8" but a hefty 257lbs. Feeling aches and pains that shouldn't be happening yet- knees and joints hurt, lower back KILLS me when I get very active, feet have issues. Every time I feel my shoulders and chest hurt I begin wondering if I finally overtaxed my poor, fat-encased heart and it is…

I up for the half-version. OK, so check-in Sunday!

THe hardest part of changing my diet has been the cravings. My diet has been significantly changed recently, not due to my own efforts, but my hubby's change in his own diet (which means, since I cook, it changes the whole families diet!). Here are my thoughts: 1) to help with heartburn avoid too much of any one thing, but…

Google a butternut squash chili. Sounds weird but it is incredible with some tweaks! I add lower fat ground beef, since it just seems to balance out the sweetness of the butternut. I also usually double the beans and vegetables called for in all of the chili I make. The biggest tweak I would advise with the butternut…

I have been 'bouncing' I guess. I loathe counting calories because it feels as is food has complete control of my thoughts throughout the day, but my efforts to lose weight without doing it has been dismal failures. :-( So, back again. I NEED to keep from gaining over the holidays. Losing would be icing on the cake…

My hubby is 5'4" and 130lbs. I am 5'8" and 265lbs. We both have changed since we married, but we went in opposite directions. He has recently lost about 20 lbs, at his current weight from 150lbs. I really dislike his weight loss- for the first time ever I now *feel* the discrepancy between our sizes. It seriously never…

Bump :-)

Wow! Thank you all so much! All the warmth and acceptance is a little overwhelming, but I can't tell you how much I appreciate that you were all willing to share you stories and give your support. (I have friend-requested those that extended the offer!) Over the last few years sharing my weight 'story' has become something…
