I looked like a little frightened crab scrabbling around Great visual!

Damn! My butt is sore from the kicking and I sooooo appreciate it. Each and every response said exactly what I need to hear. This right here is one of the many reasons I love MFP. If I had called one friend, or my sister or debated with my husband about what I should do tonight not one of them would have motivated me like…

You deserve those compliments and more! Only thing better than recognizing how great you look is getting unsolicited positive feedback! :drinker:

Love to offer and receive support so feel free to friend me. It just sucks at times, but we all know it will be worth it in the end...at least that is what the successful people have said. :smile: I am in this for real, no giving up regardless of the speed bumps, road blocks or set backs. Cheers, A:drinker: p.s. love your…

Ha! funny you should say that, The first thing that my husband thought of was that I was pregnant. That would be great, but not the case..mainly because I am 46 and pretty regular with my cycle I think that the real answer is the exercise component. There is nothing regular about my work out regime and that needs to…

I have found my people. I am a bi-wino (both red and white) I love sailing, therefore I am a bit addicted to rum I look at my evening glass (ok..vase) of wine as my just dessert,.just need help accepting that when you have a lot of weight to lose you really shouldn't eat dessert every night. :drinker: :heart: :drinker:…

Sugar Berry That is kind of what mine does!! I swear, if I move it to different parts of the bathroom (and the floor is completely level so that isn't the problem) my weight can have a 5 lbs difference. I think I need to go to a brand new digital. It is definitely worth the investment given the funk that I can get in if…

Thanks Elana. You are doing a great job organizing this and I am confident that I can speak for most of us in saying that we really appreciate it! Cheers :drinker:

5'7" @ 193 and wear 12 or 14, depending on the day :)

Trying one more time..after that I will just g Have to hand draw a pumpkin.:noway:

:sad: I can't make the banner work! Dang

It's Monday night and I am doing my Sunday ck in...ha! Just one day late...:laugh: I have made great progress on my water intake. Discovered the joys of crystal light. Today I parked in my normal space (but mainly because I was late to work, not because I was being lazy) but I did take the stairs instead of the…

I am not one of your peeps..but hope to be at some point. Laughing makes all the difference. I really enjoy reading your posts..your humor and candor are refreshing. Humor gets me through everything. I can guarantee u that your peeps appreciate the recognition and adore you. Xoxo Anne

Just today I started adding CL to my water and it has made all the difference. I am drinking far more than I was, peeing quite a bit and very happy with myself. I am using the Crystal Light Pure Fitness strawberry kiwi and it is very tasty. The benifit of drinking enough water compared to the nominal calories that are…

How about we call the challenge "Costume Changers" I am dying to take off this current costume of fat I am wearing and with at 10 year child Halloween is so hard for me! :drinker:

I'm in! 5% of my current would be almost 10 lbs so that would be EXCELLENT! I am ready and willing. :happy:

You get up, brush yourself off and remind yourself that you are worth it to keep going. You haven't failed....you just hit the " hold button temporarily. Don't be so hard on yourself, look at the # of people on this site. We are all human. You are here and starting again, you are far from a failure! Cheers:smile:

Just what I needed to hear as I face another Monday knowing that it doesn't come off anywhere nearly as easy as it went on. Not going to get frustrated today, just going to breathe deeply and keep your msg in mind all day . Thanks!

I am totally in. Very interested in the increased accountability and connection support that comes with challenges like this! 1) Work on body image issue by limiting, if not eliminating, the negative thoughts and self loathing comments towards myself , my current weight and my body..especially in front of my son 2) park…

Welcome! I am new as well but really enjoying the support I have experienced int the week I have been here. Feel free to add me as a friend. Cheers:drinker:

One time I had a woman at a dry cleaner ask for my license because I was writing a ck for my stuff. When I showed it to her she commented by saying. "wow, you use to be really pretty when you didn't have so much weight on you" This happened years ago and I have NEVER forgotten it.

MA----RI---VA---MD Love New England but found the love of my life in Maryland :drinker:

With you 100%! None of us want to be a "typical" anything or anyone. You are unique, you are beautiful AND you are honest! Cheers and good luck girl!:drinker:

Will do. Did you and hub start off by designing your own menu or going with one of the pre-arranged 2 or 4 week deals?

Thanks!:flowerforyou:

But you are at twenty and that is damn spankin' good

Xoxox:drinker:

Such good.. Logical and solid advice. Hearing from people who "get it" and don't chastise me for being weak helps so so much.

U r my buddy.. Thanks for sending your thoughts..can't tell u how much it helps to know someone out ther hears me and understands.:heart:

Thanks for the response! That is just the type of validation I needed. The soup I picked weighed in at a hefty 500+ calories and I FREAKED out. I might as well have had a donut! i am going to go with something mid-range. Next time I will pick a gentler looking cafeteria employee to query. Thanks again,
