On thing that's starting to give me a bit better visual of things... At first glance I see the precious lovely cupcake calling my name. If it's home-made, I may consider what home it was made in (made by which co-worker). Knowing it didn't come from MY home, where I control what went in (GERMS AND ALL haha)...I may think a…

Interesting! I'd like to check this out. Can you link me? :smile:

bump

don't forget, if she's eating all that fruit, she's got to be crappin her brains out all day --- so that's where the weight goes haha.

Hi hi hi! I'm proud to say I'm 21 days clean today. lol I'm actually clean of fast food AND regular soda, 21 days today. What's helped me a lot - is to get an app on my cell phone that keeps track of days. Sort of like you've probably heard of a DAYS TIL tracker...til christmas, til my birthday, thanksgiving, etc... well…

no one? lol - or is this some kind of hush hush secret society? lol

Hi! Boy oh boy, when I read this post, I thought "I don't remember making this post" - but it sounds just like me/my story lol. I've found it more helpful to attack the #'s in smaller amounts. I mean who really wants to even bother when they see 200+lb weightloss looming infront of them, right? lol. For example - I started…

I often wonder, who put the bop, in the bop she bop she bop....

1st off - woohoo and way to go! 2ndly - if you're anything like me, that 1st day - just that push - that c'mon let's do this - getting in the 1st day is the hardest. Then you'll enjoy it more! Maybe go in with a set in stone gameplan? I figure you didn't go the personal training route yet - so maybe say specifically: "I…

yep I'm a water burper myself too - I imagine mostly because I tend to chug chug chug when I go for it, because I don't like water as a rule - so I try to down it fast. so I get a lot of air that way.

biggest helper for broke gal budget such as myself lol - progresso soups. i personally am not a soup fan naturally, but at only say $1.25 (or less) a can at Walmart - I can swing it. I have that, with some crackers, and sometimes if I can stretch things, I put the soup ontop of some steamer bag rice. think of.....quality,…

Sounds like PCOS. The options as far as I know, are the birth control as offered (but you said you were not into) - and I currently take Metformin er. while being on the metformin my periods are monthly again. (I never could pinpoint the date, but don't know that many can anyways? lol) - so maybe look into PCOS.

all great replies thanks everyone!

/\this/\ and i've just come to realize this, this month lol.

your initial posting is exactly why I changed to only weighing in 1x a month. i have a family member hide the scale til the 1st of each month. and each month since - the weigh ins have been successful. i was weighting in 2x a day - 1st when i wakeup and 2nd before bed. the p.m. weigh in would be so discouraging and i'd…

i saw a news report where this lady puts her running shoes in gallon freezer bag and freezes them between use. says it helps....

I know what has helped more this time than in the past - what's kept me picking back up and trying again every day even when I flub up a time or two on occasion.... ....is the fact that I am now head 1st into my 30's lol. I am 31, (32 in march) - and I kind of see the 'grown up' approach to the 'game' of life if you will.…

for me it's not so much about the 'meal' - it's about the #....but i guess that coincides with a 'meal' - because i know x-meal will put me over x-amount of calories so *tee-hee* i cheated lol.

You may find it more helpful to only weigh 1x a month - say at the start of the month possibly? That way - you go through say this month of september - and you weigh in on october 1st - and instead of just seeing 1.5lbs down for which you think you worked really hard and it should be more - you instead see say: 6lbs down -…

One afternoon I was hanging out and bored. I chose to read the ingridents list on my 20oz regular Mt Dew bottle.....there was something strange that stuck out to me: Brominated Vegetable Oil I thought, "What in the world? Vegetable oil in my soda??" - so I got on the internet and researched that phrase. Soon as I realized…

I read a few message boards ago - that you might try say, vanilla protein powder in your coffee. just a bit (not a whole scoop obviously) - but that way you get flavor + benefit.....haven't tried myself to know first hand - but read that and found it interesting idea...

the quote on your after picture - literal LOL moment - thanks :)

You might do yourself some good and have your thyroid checked out. I can't say it was ever painful enough to make me actually - cry - but the cramps i would get were very discomforting. Talk about, having me doubling over going OOoooOooh Ahaaaaa Ouch!!! you know? severe. Not your everyday cramp lol. I had had a total…

Big reason why I switched to only 1x a month weigh-ins. My period has me eating like a mad fiend for a week - so there's my gain or stall. But then after I'm over I tend to level out - and possibly even lose. So i changed to 1x a month so I don't get pulled down by fluctuations - just whatever happens on the 1st I go "it…

27 inch pythons brother! Only because half of that Hulkamania arm is body fat haha! (it's late...14 hour shifts at work...just excuse me lol) :)

frogs! and snakes!

lovely! bump!

From top down - i like #2 and #4.

I knew I loved you before I met you, I think I dreamed you into life. I knew I loved you before I met you, I have been waiting all my life.

the finale of Dawson's Creek when Jenn dies when her Grams is there in her room in the hospital with her. Jen looks over at her (as far as i remember, been years ago now) - she sheds 1 single tear, then rests her head back on the pillow and fades out. they had been making a video for her baby - earlier in the episode -…
