When you get angry at your significant other or children when they snatch something off your plate because you already logged those calories!

Have fun at boot camp! You will do great! You'll probably be a bit sore tomorrow morning or the day after, but that's like battle scars that you can be proud of!

I don't know how anyone noticed the duck face, the camera, or the chest of the last girl. All I noticed was the weird short bushy eye brows.

DANG! We have a lot of good looking men on MFP! You are all making me miss my husband who I haven't seen in 6-1/2 months. He's been working in Antarctica all winter with not much to do during his free time except to work out, so he is looking more cut and hotter than ever in the pictures he sent to me. I can't wait till he…

I had to view this post because one of my best friends is Scottish and she says "No whinging!" to our kids every time we go on an excursion together. . It cracks me up. So my American born daughter of 5 years old knows what that means. My high point is that I am ready to take my Taekwondo Black Belt test this Saturday: 2…

This was my breakfast this morning: Isonatural - Pure Whey Protein (Unflavored), 1 scoop West Soy - Non Fat Plain Soy Milk, 0.25 Cup Pineapple - Fresh Fruit, 1/2 cup Trader Joe's - Plain Non Fat Frozen Yogurt, 1/4 cup Calories: 218 Carbs: 19 Protein: 32 It came out smooth, thick, and yummy, like a pineapple milk shake. I…

Enell front closure....must have at least 10 hooks, complete compression, absolutely no bounce. I have been wearing these contraptions for at least 10 years since I weighed over 250lbs. and was a size 48DDD. I'm only a 38DD now, but I still won't exercise without these. I wear them jogging, and doing all kinds of jumping…

No regrets here either! I was lap-banded 4 years ago this month, on June 23, 2008. My mom had gastric bypass surgery about 28 years ago and is still maintaining a healthy weight loss. She sometimes says she misses being able to eat a lot at social functions and holidays, but then admits that it is what got her fat in the…

Taekwondo... I enjoy beating up teenagers in the dojang since I'm not permitted to beat up my own at home.

I will be 4 years post-op in 3 more weeks. I had lap band on June 23, 2008. I'm still working on my goal. I have short bursts of successful weight lost followed by long periods of plateauing. Then I gain a few pounds back and have to go back to my WLS office for a good kick in the butt and then I start to lose again. No…

Don't eat the Cadbury eggs sold in the US. They are not imports. They are nasty balls of high fructose corn syrup just like most other major brands of American candy. I have been fortunate enough to find a few real British imported candies here though. It depends where you live. I rarely eat candy, but when I cross the…

I met him Salsa dancing. He kept asking me to dance and annoying me with questions like, "Are you married? Do you have children? Do you have a boyfriend?" When I was leaving, he stopped me and asked, "Are you leaving?" I said, "Yes. It is Thursday and I work tomorrow." Then he asked, "Where do you live?" I thought,…

Sorry, I didn't see your post until 3 days after your surgery. I hope you are doing well. I am going on 4 years post op and am glad I did it. Best of luck!!!

Great job with your walking! I have to agree that walking and water aerobics are great. A ballroom dance class would be nice too. The important thing is that find something that you enjoy. Then you will keep it up. And after doing doing those exercises regularly, you will soon find yourself wanting to do something more…

I've been trying to find a no-sugar brand of natural peanut butter that I don't have to stir. Is this even possible? I don't want to make my own, it's more for my kids than for me. They put it on their toast for breakfast frequently. I prefer to eat a 1/4 cup of whole nuts or peanuts rather than peanut butter. I did buy…

That's interesting because that is a Chinese Medicine remedy that I use to bring down a fever. It really works, but tastes nasty in my opinion. Only, I've never tried just sticking the ginger and pouring hot water over it. I always boil a few slices of fresh ginger on the stove.

Thanks for the post and all the great suggestions! I have the same problem with my Taekwondo sparring gear and uniforms. Sunshine alone doesn't help much. But here in Seattle, I haven't seen the sun in at least 5 months. I will try the vinegar trick next time and look for Tide plus Fabreeze Freshness Sport for my uniforms.…

After you can have solids, you should try ProtiDiet Instant Maple Brown Sugar oatmeal. I buy it in the tub size at DietDirect.com. I keep some of the individual packets in my desk at work for emergencies. http://www.dietdirect.com/proamino-protidiet-oatmeal-17oz.html 1 serving is 90 calories, 15 grams of protein, Aspartame…

How exciting!! Good luck!

I just love it at my gym when I have to take my 5 year old to go potty. The only bathrooms are in the locker rooms. Sometimes, my daughter points at naked old ladies and yells, "EWWWWWW!!!!! SHE'S NAKED!!!!" My husband hates taking her to the gym day care without me because if she has to go potty, he has to take her into…

I'm in! I need to take measurements after work tonight. I weighed in at 173.2 this morning. The 64 oz. of water is extra per day or extra for the week?

I met my husband salsa dancing. He kept asking me to dance. He annoyed me because he wouldn't stop asking: "Are you married? Do you have kids? Do you have a boyfriend?" etc. When I was heading towards the door, he stopped me and asked, "Are you leaving?" I said, "Yes. It is Thursday and I have to work tomorrow morning."…

Hi! I'll send you a friend requested. I was banded on June 23, 2008.

I think it depends on what you are looking for. I did both. I find Sean T more entertaining than Tony Horton. Tony's voice bores the heck out of me for some reason. P90X involves using weights, chin-up bars, exercise bands, etc. I prefer the simplicity of Insanity. I couldn't finish P90X because it was so boring. but I…

I love etsy.com. ArtFire.com is great too!!

Hi everyone! I signed up for this group, and then didn't think to check back until today. I was banded on June 23, 2008. I've been on a roller coaster of losing/plateauing/gaining some back/getting back on track/losing more/plateauing again/etc... But I MFP helps me to get and stay on track.

Bump!

I'm an Iowa native, but I've been living in Seattle for 18 years. I got my bachelor's degree from The University of Iowa. My family are in Waterloo and near Iowa City. I get to file Iowa income tax each year for my rental properties there. I just visited there this summer with my kids. I made my step-son spend the whole…

They count Friday as part of the weekend? Isn't she willing to trade a weekend with you since you need to work?
