While I cannot relate totally, I can say that my now husband got cold feet once. It was nerve wracking, so I can imagine some of the pain you must be feeling. For me it worked out, I patiently waited 24 months after his original proposal to start planning the wedding. Almost 4 years married now but it isn't easy, part of…

My dog does the same things with carrots, never will eat them on the kitchen and they make a BIG mess in the dining or living room carpet. But he loves them and they are good for him.......my solution was a rubber backed carpet in the kitchen for him to eat his treats on. Unless of course you were BS'ing in which case I'm…

I love that feeling when someone who you see everyday notices that hey there's less of you in the office these days 8-) Gongrats! Feel free to add me as a friend, always here to help motivate and share tips.

Awesome job on the weightloss! Sorry things aren't going so well for you. Keep your chin up.

Plan ahead your meals and snacks, it really helps and takes your mind off food for the rest of the day. Then when your having your meals/snacks you're really just fueling your body and enjoying the experience. I plan in calories for my treats and exercise more if I know that I want to induldge. If you have a dire craving…

No way, not for me. I scar really easily. Interesting way to utilize his craft though. What will he do when Apple redeigns the ipod, have his magnet implants moved to accomodate the new design? Cannot imagine having a magnet, or several for that matter, within my body - wonder how stong the magnets must be to hold on to an…

I tried this as well for about 3 months, didn't do anything for me - at least not that I noticed anyway. I switched to green tea supplements for a while and then to plan old brewed green tea and now I notice the difference I feel on days when I don't have my 3 cups. I have a lot more energy with the green tea (brewed) and…

WOW! Well done!

Congrats! You look fantastic! Good luck on the last 13, you're dedication is impressive and inspirational.

I'm in the same boat and this is the same thing I've been hearing. Don't worry too much, stress can wreak havoc on your progress and overall well-being. I firmly believe that in time the scale will start to move and the benefits I'm reaping along the way (health related) will be there when the scale finally catches up with…

Went in for a check up at the doc and when I got on the scale I couldn't believe how high I'd let my weight get. In my case some of the weight gain was adjustment due to all the medication I'd been on, surgery recoveries, lack of ability to be physical and overall mental health (wasn't good) but I'd gained 25 lbs without…

Its tasty!

I usually stop counting after 10. I'm always thirsty and it helps my belly stay full feeling so I don't snack.

I went with Mirena and it really wasn't so bad. If you've ever had a thin-prep pap test then you've basically experienced the pain associated with the IUD insertion. And if you've ever had children then its nothing at all.....However, I did have cramping and nausea for about an hour afterwards. I had mine done on my lunch…

I drink mint green tea - the Moroccan Mint made by Stash is my favorite. I drink 2 cups a day at least. I sweeten mine with Stevia.

Down 17 lbs and counting, I've never cut my carbs.

My rule of thumb - If I can't live without it forever, then I am not going to give it up. I've gone up and down on the scale from 125 to 205 over the last 15 years that I couldn't even tell you how many different size clothes are in my closet. Granted there was a baby in that time frame, but still. My committment to…

Here's a link to the recipe we're going to try on Saturday: http://www.skinnytaste.com/2011/03/cheesy-zucchini-enchiladas.html#more

I found some on pinterest that I am going to try. Are you a member on pinterest? If not, I'll send you some.

Oh and thanks for sharing - good giggle!

What the hell, why? Does anyone seriously think that is attractive?

I'm in! Starting 157 Goal 147

Same here! I'd been cooking 95% of all of our meals for 7 years. Last year my husband's work schedule changed and he now gets home 3 hours earlier than me each day, so little by little I've been teaching him the basics of cooking. He watched me prepare some hof his favorite meals and how to's. I will say, we've eaten some…

Do you have exact measurements for this? It sounds like an awesome post morning workout meal/treat. Thanks!

This I found that this means that I have to literally earn the calories for my treats a.k.a. useless calories. I also go over my protein count every single day - I have to in order to stay full, or at least not feel like I could gnaw on my desktop =-) My calorie goal for weight loss daily is 1200 - 1340 which doesn't leave…

Awesome progress!! Keep up the good work!

Hi - I'm a foodie too but what works for me is sipping green tea pretty much all day. I'm not sure if there is a placebo affect or what, but it does help. And it has enough caffeine to keep me going all day.

I need the same thing! I'm on every day - let's motivate each other!

I'm 5'8 and started with MFP at 174 - I'm stuck at 157 since January. I'm hopeful to pass this plateau and get down below 140 - would be fantastic if I got there by summer but I'll be happy to just get any closer to 140. June 22nd is my goal-line, that's the next time I'll be wearing a suit on the beach =-O
