Yes, she is jealous. It IS harder for women to lose weight, but that doesn't mean you haven't worked EXTREMELY hard and deserve your success. Years ago my husband and I went on a "diet" together. (Yes, we jumped off the wagon, and we still carry the bruises :wink: ) It frustrated me to no end that we ate the same food (of…

I would take it as a compliment and return the compliment by commending their good taste!

11:59 p.m. The earliest I'll eat is 6:30 a.m. :wink:

This looks great!

God's help in my life. I have a FABulous husband. I can look in the mirror and see progress.

Bump

How very sad and boring their lives must be that the most fun they could think of having is being cruel to a stranger. I can't seem to recall what my friends and I do when we are bored.... Maybe that's because we are never bored when we are together. Apparently they find their own company less than scintillating. I do wish…

Three options... 1) When they mispronounce my name (they always do), I tell them there is no one here by that name. " My name is Mrs. Atrandom, may I help you?" 2) When they ask me how I am, actually tell them. It's not a problem if I tell them about TOM, is it? I mean, they DID ask... 3) Quickly tell them I'm not in the…

@evitwinkle makes good points. I think he may just be acting out of frustration about his health diagnosis. Ask him what he will eat that he is allowed to eat. 93% lean ground beef? Low fat processed foods like fat free hot dogs or Polish sausage or ham? (I don't know if he is allowed processed food...) Lean ground turkey?…

I thought that LL Cool J was addicted to mfp, too! :wink: I don't know why. I'm not really the Heat Miser. I don't even find his physique all that inspiring. Mainly, I just like the song.... Sometimes it is difficult to tell when people are kidding. About a month ago, someone wrote something sarcastic about someone who was…

Give it the three months. It sounds like a long time, I know, BUT aren't you motivated by curiosity to see what it says after three months? I bet you will be so pleasantly surprised, you will be extolling the virtues of diet, exercise, and healthy living then! (Thankfully, my gym doesn't have one of those! :bigsmile:…

A man with those attributes somehow gets better looking as we get to know him. I find strong calves to be eye candy! :smile:

Forgive yourself. If I would have done that 20 years ago, I wouldn't be in the mess I'm in... Now I need to forgive myself for messing up many times over, and I have. As a matter of fact, if I owned a time machine, I go back and tell me to forgive myself and begin again the next day so the next 100+ pounds don't happen!

Not in the mfp database. The only tarantulas in the database are either alcoholic drinks, or gummi tarantulas (which I'm sure are way healthier than gummi bears, being a protein source and all.. :laugh: )

Once a week, on a Saturday, while wearing my husband's favorite outfit. :wink:

Lent is coming up soon, too! I would LOVE to try these on a meatless day! If we like it, GREAT, if we don't, then, well... Lent IS a time of doing penance.. :wink: Thank you for sharing this!

@TexasRaised89 Your sassy and confident pose!

Arguments over finances? Telling you that you look like a slut rather than just saying he isn't comfortable with you in your under shirt amongst guys you work with? Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but it sounds like he is trying to control you. Ideally (in my opinion), spouses have some say so over one another. Would…

I've been to Arizona. (I'm from Chicago). I would LOVE to go back! Sedona was the most BEAUTIFUL place I've ever been. If you time your trip right, you can see lovely desert flowers in Phoenix. The botanical garden in the Phoenix area is excellent. We didn't have a chance to see the Grand Canyon, and I hope to go back and…

I do not keep potato chips or Ritz crackers in my home any longer. Unfortunately, I do find that my hand will sneak some into my mouth at a party when my mind is distracted by the scintillating conversation of those around me and not paying attention, so I haven't ENTIRELY given it up, but I am working on it.

@megansoriono Your eyes sparkle!

@nallbaby10 Beautiful profile!

BUMP

If I don't log on my bad days, then I won't learn from my mistakes. If I don't learn from my mistakes, I will never be any wiser. If I don't become wiser, then getting older will REALLY suck.

I SO wish I knew how to "borrow" pictures from this site! That picture is awesome!

Greek yogurt Oberweis fat free milk egg beaters or generic equivalent Tropicana 50 with Calcium and Vitamin D salsa

Hey Retro, We are in the same boat! I'm not restricting anything, though I have increased foods high in calcium and potassium since I found out on this site that I was far below norm. I also try to make sure that I DEFINITELY get the amount of protein recommended, and am willing to sacrifice carbs a bit, but not REALLY…

Hey LIsa! I took it out of the library last month. I enjoyed it, even though I didn't get past the introduction. I worked on the introduction faithfully and intend to tell my husband to buy it for me the next time he wonders what to get me for a gift. :smile: I am VERY overweight though. You might get further than me in…

I won't say that I can't tell the difference, because I can, but I like it. I think it gives a nice, different twist to recipes that call for ground beef.

I agree that you should ice it and take something for it. I would take Naproxen, but that's because my doctor usually prescribes it when I throw my back out. As for taking it easy, that depends on how you define that. If that means walking and light stretching instead of skipping and jumping jacks, great. If that means bed…
