In our family the grandparents picked what they wanted to be called and all the grand kids have so far stuck to it. My dad picked PawPaw because that's what his dad was called. My mom picked Nana because it goes with PawPaw and couldn't choose MawMaw since my dad's mom uses that and she is still alive. My name is Elizabeth…

I'm right there with you. I wish I knew why it's so easy for me to slip.

I will usually just eat an apple if it's an early morning workout. Anything more than that and I'm going to be visiting the trashcan during the harder cardio.

Hi! Feel free to add me, I've been on MFP for about a year now and I'm now at 245 (5"7). It's been a slow loss but as long as it doesn't come back I'll take it however I can get it.

I still have a ways to go but even with 50lbs down I still see myself at my heaviest. The only thing that helps is when I try on my old jeans and can see how big they are on me.

I'm the same way, I'm not one of those people that can just eat one piece of fried chicken and be satisfied. One piece will always lead to another and the next day I'm going back to eating fast food every day instead of making my meals. I do much better when I'm strict on myself and don't let myself do a "little" cheat.

My grandpa and his then new wife gave me already opened/used Suave shampoo.

My sister gets a throat punch for deciding that drugs were/are more important than raising her son.

27- sister and roommate, sister's two cats, my dog, and roommate's dog.

I'm in, I definitely need another kick start. Thanks!

That's my #1 problem! I might not even like what I'm eating but I can't make myself throw it away.

Yes! I'm still at that stage that if I don't plan ahead and know exactly what I should get, I will order whatever looks the tastiest, regardless of calories.

This is Tucker, he was found as a stray by a co-worker. He was a jerk of a puppy and the co-worker didn't want to keep him because he was mean to her dogs so I volunteered to foster him until the no-kill shelter had room for him. By the end of the weekend I had fallen in love with him, even with his bad manners and…

1. Did so-and-so have a BM (bowel movement)? 2. No, the supervisor didn't tell me so-and-so was in the hospital. 3. Are you scheduled to work? Because I'm on the schedule...? Okay I'll go home. 4. Stop staring at me. 5. OMG, it went everywhere.

bump for later

1. Chicken thighs 2. Gala Apples 3. Eggs

I hate it when the people from the zumba class meeting after my high intensity class come in early and watch the class for the final 20 minutes of it. It's especially annoying when they don't wait a single minute to fill the floor once our class is over, they don't even give me time to roll up my mat before they are moving…

That's awesome, congratulations!

I've always been heavy so it was never about "letting myself go". Growing up we never had a lot of junk food but the meals were always fattening, even the vegetables came from cans and got cooked in butter/bacon grease. I knew that I was big, always being the biggest of my friends and classmates, but I could keep up with…

The only greek yogurt I've tried and liked is Dannon Oikos Greek. I first started out mixing it with nonfat vanilla flavored regular yogurt and mixing in almonds and bananas. Now I just eat the Dannon Greek Vanilla flavored. The transition helped me to like the taste and thickness of greek over american yogurt, which I now…

Same here! I work with adults with mental disabilities and it's bad enough when they sneeze/cough without covering their mouths, but when staff does it, I'm utterly disgusted.

I guess that I'm the only one that likes Honey Boo Boo. I don't watch it for the little girl, I'm fascinated by the mom. She is hilarious in a way that she's not even playing up to the cameras, she's just that awkward. And as much as I'm against child pageants, at least you know she's not forcing her daughter into it like…

Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne. I tried so hard to like this book but it read more of a geography lesson on Iceland or a textbook on rocks. I had to force myself to finish it.

I was raised by a southern dad and a northern mom and was surrounded by the different accents that make up the Army. People always complimented me on my "weird" accent because I sounded different from everyone. I moved to North Carolina when I was 11 and slowly picked up a southern accent. Now that I have lived in North…

I think the last time I was in 14s I was in middle school. I will be crying when I get that small too. Great job with your NSV!

This! I'll be too scared to backslide to ever live the life of a never-been-fat-person.

I definitely know how it feels to not be able to ride at theme parks. I had to get off the ship ride at six flags because I was too big, sooo embarrassing, I haven't been back to an amusement park since. Congrats on your NSV!

New tattoo, skydiving, boob job, and framing my fat girl pants so I'm reminded to never get that big again.

Jump squats and lunges. I made the mistake of telling my trainer that I hate them so she now makes me do them more often.

I have a weird work schedule that changes every other week so I get it in when I can.
