My mom is in her early 50's and I'm afraid the same thing is going to happen to her (she doesn't smoke but otherwise eats horrible with tons of salt and grease and never exercises). Your mother did die way too young, and I'm sorry. Actually seeing mine so 'old' at her age is a big motivation for me as well...losing weight…

Childhood development Psychology (even of crazy serial killers)

Absolutely!! I'm really, really sorry that you're going through this. Breakups suck SO bad. Give yourself permission to grieve it, but not to forget that you deserve and are worth healthy food and exercise. Unfortunately, relationships come and go but YOU will always be YOU and you have worked so hard. I was already taking…

Because of the length of time you can go between 'changes', I've never had this be an issue. It's never been difficult to time it so that I'm in a private bathroom to do that. I would NOT like it if someone did that in a public restroom I was in.

I ordered mine online.

Instant oatmeal eaters....I like that it's 130 calories (or around there depending on flavour) but I haven't eaten much because I was under the assumption it is sky high in sugar. Is that so? (I guess I *should* just get up and check the box. Lazy moment. :oP)

I use a little of everything, including one of these. I thought it was Diva Cup, but it has the stem and different shape. I bought it quite a while ago though so it might be another brand. It IS gross and icky...but I find periods gross and icky in general. I do as much of the cleaning/reinsertion in the shower as well.…

I wonder about this too. I am 5' tall and even under all this fat, my bones are fat, too! I have a heavy frame to be accounted for...there should be 3 BMI scales (and I have seen them somewhere before) for those tiny bird boned people (yeah, I'm jealous :oP), medium frame, and built like a brick sh!thouse types likes me.…

I would count it, since I'm set on sedentary settings. So what if it's not purposeful exercise? Calories are being expended whether you are doing it for that purpose or not. To me, it only makes sense that if you are rigidly logging your calorie intake, you should be equally as rigid about logging your calorie burn. I…

I'm sorry this happened to you. :( 21 months ago my instincts were going off like crazy and I confronted my husband. I have rather good instincts and he is a rather bad liar so I was able to find the truth before any sex happened...he had only met the woman 4 days before. I gave him the ultimatum that day and let him sleep…

In the past, I've had the same problem regarding breakfast and one of my "usuals" became a bagel w/cream cheese made up the night before, wrapped in tin foil with tin foil between the two slices because I hate when my bottom cream cheese and my top cream cheese stick together. lol I'd just grab it and go and usually wolf…

To my understanding, having an active job like that should be included in your profile set up (I don't remember the categories, but definitely not sedentary) and MFP will automatically give you enough calories to account for your work, so you wouldn't log that.

I really think you should talk to your doctor about it. Even being genetically predisposed to being big, weight loss should be possible following that routine!

Any special recipe you'd be willing to share? I just bought some of that today, actually.

Okay...Ima gonna use dat! :o)

Alan Jackson in November. I wish more concerts even happened here. :)

You're gorgeous at any weight, but you're healthier at this one! Great work!

Here's something unique. I am a recovering emetophobe...that would be the fear of vomit, vomiting, others vomiting. I had it my whole life but didn't realize what it was until a few years back when, as the mother of two young children who were prone to throwing up everywhere with no warning and passing the germ to me, I…

Yes, I've noticed how cool I am because of that! :smokin:

Baths rock. I love baths.

Okay, I just did this really quick and suggestions are very welcome!

I've been seperated for over a year and a half. I didn't want it to be happen and it's brought much hardship, however, it has also set me free in a way I have never been in my adult life. I have been on a self improvement marathon since then (not just physically, but really setting myself up to succeed in the rest of my…

I might be able to rig up a little something. Can anyone come up with a short slogan to go with the team name, which I think has been unofficially agreed to be the Vertical Challengers?

OMG, this thread made me LAUGH OUT LOUD! I have been too busy considering the size of my butt to even thing of my boobs! I have a feeling I'm not going to fare much better than some of you have. I didn't grow them until I was 18 and starting to chub up, so it's possible the DD's will be all gone with the chub. lol

Wow...I guess I am just a 'natural donor'. I donate every 2 months fairly regular since I was 18 (I'm 35) and I never gave a second thought to preparing or anything like that. I've never had any side effects, except I think sometimes it might trigger a migraine but that could be coincidence. I will consider myself lucky. :)

I think she might be a bit extroverted. lol I've seen women walk around naked to do what they need to do...get dressed mostly. Most of us walk around in our towels to get to/from showers, etc. I do think it is strange to spend excessive amounts of time nude in public areas...not in a bothersome way, just unusual. Of…

I've was a stay at home mom for many years, and then became a working mom for about a year and a half before my contract ended, so I just spend the summer as a stay at home mom again, this time a single SAHM....hands down, staying at home is harder. I love it, but it is definitely harder. Working out of the home may be…

I have to disagree with this as well. The way I look at it is...if I'M a decent, normal, regular person looking for a stable long term relationship, why would there not be decent, normal, regular men looking for a stable long term relationship? The way we lead our lives today often makes it hard to meet others regardless…

It's just a start, but a bunch of us are setting the goal of 3 lb lost by October 14. :)
