First of all, she needs to decide if she can live her life on his terms. If she can, she needs to tell him so, BUT also tell him that finding out he changed his mind about eventually marrying her in the manner she did was disappointing, and that any issues in their relationship have to be discussed with each other directly…

Oh yeah, and anyone who chooses not to dance because it is "lame" can run laps around the gym in the meantime.

Square dancing! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Okay, now seriously, how about dances like "The Cha Cha Slide" , "Cupid Shuffle", and wedding standards like "The Electric Slide" and "Achy Breaky Heart", interspersed with more modern dances they may actually like (I don't pretend to think that eighth graders…

Yes, I've gone through this phase. I'll make a long story short and just say that I have MORE THAN one hundred pounds to lose now. My best advice is to get on that scale first thing tomorrow morning and face the music. The longer you wait, the harder it gets.

Congratulations!

Well, add me to the list of people who appreciate the advice! Yes, I wanted to use today as a "free" day, but not "WILD and free". A few suggestions for how to enjoy the day without overindulging to the point where I feel guilty and discouraged tomorrow were very welcome! I really don't see the point to the criticisms of…

I pour out the oil from two cans of tuna into a pan. Then I fry onion and garlic in it. I add vegetables, and after they are cooked through, I add the tuna. Then I pour it all over pasta for two. I also like to add vegetables, green onions, low sodium soy sauce and tuna to Ramen Soup.

Cheese omelet with fruit on the side.

Don't worry about going over on protein. Many people here WANT to go over on protein.

What do you mean there is no Easter Bunny or Santa Claus? :cry:

Prayer sent for your granddaughter and you.

Calf muscles.

I've used diet sprite before. It came out well, but we prefer ginger ale. Yes, I am serious.

I have lost 44 pounds in the last seven months. My friends and family see it. When I look in the mirror, I don't. I think it is because we are very attached to our own perceptions of ourselves, both the good and the bad. I'm not even sure whether I'm actually even HEAVIER than I notice in the mirror because I've been…

^This^ I know she's your mom, and you are worried about her, but you've tried to help her, but now the best help you can be to her is to succeed achieving your goals in a healthy manner so that you can inspire her.

Hey Sophie! I have A LOT to lose, but I'm very satisfied with mfp. Logging in everyday has been a Godsend for me! Instead of THINKING I'm doing okay, I see exactly how I am doing, and when I "fall off the wagon", I see how very near the wagon is to me and that I can still get back on it quickly if I get up NOW! I love this…

Similar thoughts here, except I was also going to point out that I'm inexperienced getting my "sexy" to return, since I never lost it... :tongue:

Hahahaha! Sorry. It's been SUCH a long time since random men called me "Babe" or "Hun"... For the last few years, it's been "ma'am"... I'll take "Babe" or "Hun" back any day of the week! Besides. There are SO many worse things I could be called...

My local grocery stores don't seem to carry it yet. :cry:

Banana and an apple with peanut butter. You can toast a couple of nutrigrain waffles while you gather your things, spread the peanut butter over the waffle and eat it with your fruit. If you like Starbucks coffee, then get it. Your'e still saving money .

That's awesome! Good for you!

My cholesterol is slightly above 200. I'm trying to lower it without meds. I hope I don't have to eliminate red meat, but I will do that before I take cholesterol medication. I've made other gradual adjustments as well (more fish, less butter, one serving of bacon instead of three....). I hope I don't have to eliminate…
-
I'm trying to change, but it is gradual. For instance, I haven't eliminated red meat, but have it only once a week (Preferable a nice big ribeye). Eventually I may have it even less often (or choose a nice small ribeye), but for now, it beats how much red meat I was eating and serving my husband six months ago. (At least…

I used to hate eating breakfast (though I have always LOVED breakfast food...) in the morning. How do you feel about drinking a glass of juice or milk instead? I found that having SOMETHING made me ready to eat about an hour later. (That could just be me, though..) I actually feel better now, but that COULD be the thyroid…

I know that lies damage trust, but before assuming the worst, ask what is going on. If your SO asks you to trust, then let them know you did until you caught them on a lie. But don't accuse. What if it's like the old sitcom gag where they are planning a surprise party? Words cannot be taken back. Once they wound, it's hard…

I know. Some people will do ANYTHING to prank you! :laugh:

The people on this site are great at encouraging. Some of my friends tease about "duct taping" one another to the wagon when we fall off. It's a joke we all get, because we all have been there. Forgive yourself your past mistakes, and take this one step at a time with lots of hope for the future. I tend to eat when I'm…

Mom's are like this. My mom used to drive me up a wall for the same sorts of worrying when she was alive. "Did you pack a sweater? I'm glad you are trying to get healthy but are you eating enough? Did you ask a doctor if you could handle those exercises?" I miss her now, and when her sister or an elderly neighbor or friend…

A man was blissfully driving along the highway, when he saw the Easter Bunny hopping across the middle of the road. He swerved to avoid hitting the Bunny, but unfortunately the rabbit jumped in front of his car and was hit. The basket of eggs went flying all over the place. The driver, being a sensitive man as well as an…

Many people here have different opinions on eating back exercise calories, but it is my personal opinion that one is fine so long as they are "in the green" caloriewise, so eating back exercise calories if fine.
