Half way point? You were going for 10 miles? Crazy pony!

In high school. Not big school. My phone is tripping

Morning all! I'm a bit grumpasarus today. No reason. May be PMS, not sure. I am horrible at tracking that so the best I can do is go through old posts where I was complaining about it last time and see if that is the culprit. I'm at work and I can honestly say I want to move. Like walk. Far Far away. It's humid but not too…

You first have to upload them to an account like photocopier or tinypic. Then once uploaded you copy the (img) link and paste. But make sure you change the img to small case. I always forget that. For some reason this board doesn't like IMG.

My small success...I checked to see if my key still worked at the gym yesterday....that counts..right? Long story short, I have the fee auto withdrawn from my account each month. Last month, there apparently wasn't enough in my checking to cover it. The very next day they call my husband and leave him a nasty message…

That is awesome! My husband recently kicked the Pepper habit too. He switched to tea. I'm trying to get him to switch to just homemade iced T and not the 300 cals a can Arizona stuff he loves. I've been brewing it at home and putting it in an Arizona jug for him. :laugh:

I should clarify I'm not swearing. Don't report me. I've been reported on my neighborhood forum once today for saying "idiots"..I'm fragile. I can't handle a strike two. I'll edit when I get back to a computer.

160 calories? Pshaw...that's peanuts. Well technically, not even. A 20 minute walk tonight will take care of that. Sounds yummy. I'm glad you got all that out. Sounds like you made some steps towards working through it. Boo towards *mean* bosses. Everything is going to work out. New beginnings are great!

Dude...now that I know you are a dude...and you are walking almost 5 miles and at this for almost 50 days, I'm going to take a guess and say you are down way more than 20lbs. Now you got me wanting to know. I think your home scale is wonky.

How much do you think you weigh? Roughly? I think I bought a scale that maxes out at 400 for pretty cheap. Of course, this is the infamous lost in the closet scale.. but still. If you really want to know.. get a new one. Or if you want to just keep doing your thing and are close, I get that. One thing you can do, is just…

Y'all's couponing skills put me to shame. I sometimes grab an item with a coupon on it and am so proud of myself when I don't forget to peel it off at the check out!! The last time I did it though, the Walmart checker couldn't get it to work and after 5 mins of trying, I was so annoyed I said, it's only 55 cents, forget…

((Hugs)) My hubby and I both work for the State so we only get paid once a month too and it bites the big one. You'd think we'd be able to budget and tuck some away for the end of the month, but nope.. never happens. Money has to be one of THE biggest downers in life. The bills piling up definitely causes pure gut wrench…

HA! I am dense. I just NOW friend requested you Pat and saw you were a guy. Oops. I blame the avatar. :huh:

That is really awesome! That is a LONG walk. You should be very proud and accomplished! You too Karen and Dee! Think how far y'all have come already! What happens if we keep going? Do we dare? Muwhahaha. :bigsmile:

If mine starts on that, I tell him he has two hands, he can always help... that shuts him up.

Great advice!! One thing I notice when I am down is just getting up and doing something, anything productive always helps. The more I DON'T want to do it, the more it helps. My depression gets worse and worse the more I let it win and take over. So, even if I just get one load of dishes done. And some days, oh goodness,…

I finally looked up Still's. :cry: That does not sound fun at ALL. I have been on Prednisone numerous times myself. I used to beg my docs for it, because it helped me breathe so much better. The last few times though, I had really bad reactions and went a little cray cray on them. I don't ever want to go one them again.…

I have been struggling with this since it was brought up before when you talked about your 7 year old neighbor. I feel like I am a decent mom, but nowhere the best. I don't feed her the best food. She is an incredibly picky eater and eats too much junk. She watches too much tv, spends too much time in child care, sleeps in…

Woo hoo!! You lost the best weight of all! The big *kitten* jerk of a husband! Way to go honey! Proud of you! :flowerforyou:

I swim at our community pool. Last year I was doing laps for exercise when it wasn't busy. I haven't been too self conscious in my suit except for last weekend when we met some friends. I didn't really want them to see me in my suit and have since decided I really need to go suit shopping and find something that covers my…

I am outside right now reading this feeling like I was right there walking with you! Way to go!

I love you Karen! I live for your posts! The cop story..too funny! The fries...omg. I would have NEVER had that kind of strength. I'm going to see what. I can do to keep it to veggies, proteins and fruits. Take as much as I can with me. Eat the shrimp if I must. I know boiled shrimp is low calorie.

I agree. If it ain't broke, don't fix it! Especially if you are new to calorie restricting. It is better to cut it down a little at a time and see what works. My first diet was when I was 15 and because I was still a teen, I got the extra 300 calories. I guess that has always stuck in the back of my head because that seems…

We have a small cooler that we take for drinks and snacks for the kiddo on the way. Because we have her and the 120lb dog and our luggage and us it is always a tight squeeze and I tend to over pack. But I think with proper planning and a game plan, I can do this! My FIL is a great cook and the type that gets offended when…

Morning all! Karen, SO happy to hear y'all had a good talk. ♥ I had a rough night. Not sure what happened other then goldfish.. lots of them. I am blaming melatonin. That sounds like a good thing to blame. I was only up .4lbs though from the 5lb weekend loss so trying not to beat myself up too much. Going to be a light day…

Fabulous idea! I've done it before. My only problem is how not to have a bite of this, a bite of that as I'm bagging. Ack!

I just keep checking in and in and in. Making up for lost time last week. I am still finishing up late contracts but I am SO tired of hounding people, I am giving myself a break from it. I started off in a greeeeeeat mood today, now I am just boo. I went to the store at lunch because I didn't pack. NOTHING sounded good. I…

Welcome Elisha! First off, you are gorgeous! Way to go on your weight loss! I can so relate to how you felt not being able to go grocery shopping, etc. Just loading the dish washer was painful for me at my highest weight. We are on our way now though. Congrats again! You got this!

God Lord ladies. Hugs. Falling with the baby sounds scary. I do remember the lack of sleep. I slept sitting up for what seemed like months holding her. She was such an easy baby though. I do remember being tired but nothing as bad as up all night. Karen, definitely no rash decisions on an empty tummy. Sounds like a good…
