Keeponkickin 32 and old enough to know better! :wink: Only added the "old enough to know better" to be funny. I try...

10 pounds.

I've thought about refering to it as "wrestling", but really, my friends would KNOW what I've really been up to! :blushing:

Promises, promises.....

My husband and I will kiss each other after onions, garlic, whatever.... But before :blushing: I make sure that I smell nice all over, including my breath!

I, too, have never been thin. I wear the swimsuit anyway. I only had rude comments once. Teenage boys. I picked one out and pretended to know his mom! I didn't threaten to snitch or anything... just asked how she is and if she feels better now that the weather is beautiful... Generic things... told him to say hello to her…

Don't Worry Be Happy

So it's true that "Santa knows where all the naughty girls live"? :laugh:

I'm definitely nice, but I wouldn't mind if Santa put me on the naughty list just once so that I'd get a reputation. :wink:

Whatever you call it, it's awesome news and I'm so happy for you!

Forgive yourself. If I could go back in time twenty years to give young me advice, it would be to forgive myself for not being perfect, but to do the best I can. I really messed myself up by giving up on me when I "failed". (I use quotation marks because I can see now that I actually didn't fail until I gave up.) Forgive…

A friend pointed out to me when I first began that I needed to eat more protein and not just look at calories. I was grateful and do much better in that aspect now. Recently I pointed out to her that she has been low on calcium lately. She didn't notice and was grateful. Just be kind, and mention a specific concern, rather…

Forgive yourself. If I could go back in time about twenty years, I'd tell young me to forgive herself, and start fresh the next day.

Welcome to mfp! I have a lot of weight to lose as well, but I'm afraid of surgery. (Not trying to talk you out of it. I'm afraid of ladders and enclosed places, too. I don't wish my fears on other people...). I wish us both a lot of luck! Congrats on your success so far! Wishing you much more!

You are dressed for a party!

You are amazing! :flowerforyou: I need to lose a lot, and I find your pics inspiring! It CAN be done!

Chocolate martini or Apple martini.

Mixed feelings. I'm glad justice is served, but I feel bad for his kids. But then, I'd feel bad for any kids with a dad in jail.

Thank you for the heads up! I think I will ask my husband to share a BOGO Whopper with me! I haven't had one in ages, I like whoppers, and if I leave the fries alone, It will fit in no problem.

Brown it in the broiler. Slice two onions. Place one onion on the bottom of the slow cooker, the other over the roast. Now your choices are either bbq sauce, or lower sodium soy sauce. Sorry, I didn't measure. I judged by how it looks. Next time I'll measure though, as now I'm keeping track. :smile:

If he is going on YOUR (mom's) property to destroy your (mom's) property, I think you may need to call the police and have them deal with him, since he has threatened the manager. You should have legal recourse.

Same here, but I'm requesting animal print. rawr!

Mine too! But only when I wear dresses! So it's only been happening at Church! :laugh: My poor pastor saw me trying to avoid him in the back of the Church and head to the bathroom and asked me later if I was okay. I told him I need suspenders, and didn't elaborate! :wink:

Lulajze Jesuniu is beautiful. I cry every time I hear it, and I only vaguely know the meaning from when my mom tried to translate it for me.

Mary's Boy Child by Mary Boney.

I read that last year. It's still funny. :laugh:

Eggo nutrigrain waffles smeared with peanut butter, with a sliced apple on top, sprinkled with cinnamon. I didn't used to eat breakfast, but now I get cranky if we ran out of apples! :laugh: (I would NEVER allow us to run out of peanut butter :noway: )

Start now. Even if it is just to log in and get an idea of how many calories you are consuming. I know I was surprised about some things! Mainly cholesterol. I ordered a BLT salad at Wendy's and found out it contained all the cholesterol recommended for a day! I KNOW there is bacon in it, but I was still surprised it was…
