YAY!!! I have a B&J shop right around the corner from me! Gonna get me somma that yum yum yum LoL

Physically... I like a guy with a bit of a tum! Ive dated a body builder and a few guys with washboard abs, and it was their personality, not their body that attracted me to them. In contrast, when a guy is bigger and has that tum...any attempts to act like a lady are out the window and Im all over him way before I…

1) I log everything I eat and my exercise to keep track and hold myself accountable. 2) Water, water, everywhere! I have several bottles of water going in my home and car and at work. Always drinking. 3) No food is off limits, keeps me from going crazy to eat something I like, I just work everything into my day. 4) I allow…

I just lost 15lbs (Started in Feb) and have another 25 to go... but I try not to think about that. I only concentrate on the next 7 or 8 lbs at a time. I agree that setting a deadline for yourself isn't a good idea...no need to set two goals, just one, the weight you'd like to lose, is pressure enough! And as long as you…

I just log it as Pilates since thats an option on here. Just got myself an HRM though, so Ill be able to put in my actual calorie burn.. but yeah, I just keep it simple and use the Pilates exercise to log it. Adore Cassey btw...she is literally the only person I can work out to who doesnt annoy the heck out of me. I love…

Sugar is evil. But I'm a heathen, so it works for me.

But..the OP wasnt despondent about the foods chosen, but about not being able to eat the foods wanted. So yeah, definitely makes sense to show that being able to eat the foods you want is an actual viable option. For you, it seems to be different..like you said, if you cant eat a full rack of ribs, you dont want to eat any…

Let's? I believe we are all sharing our personal experiences...which are all different. Sorry to hear that you find every day of this hard, but not everyone is experiencing what you are so you cant speak for everyone (Lets? LoL)...thats not sugarcoating. For some of us, some days are easier than others. Personally, like I…

That is a big key that I didnt realize I actually do, but I think helps a lot. I *always* have a water bottle within reach of me...I have a water bottle at my desk, by the couch, and my car always has water in it too. I find that when Im mindlessly wanting to consume something, my water is right there. It also helps cause…

Im like that....I will buy a bottle, cause I like to have a glass with dinner, swearing up and down that bottle will last me 3 or 4 days...a few hours later Im like...WTF whered all the wine go?! LoL So for me, Ive resigned myself to it to only drink when Im not home...I dont keep it in the house at all. At home, I drink…

Not to put a damper on! But I find that the first week is actually the easiest for me, because Im all motivated and when that initial water weight comes off, Im all excited and *in it to win it!* Its the second week that is the hardest for me...cause the loss isn't nearly as big and also, the reality of trying to lose…

I eat what I want...just in moderation. I actually have been drinking more beer and eating more ice cream now that Im "on a diet" than when I wasnt... But thats only because before, Id consider them something I should avoid because of all the weight I gained... Didnt stop to think that maybe it was because I was eating a…

Im 5'10" , kiddos dad is also 5'10 and my daughter is a little pip-squeak at 5'3" lol!!! She was always the tallest in her class up until she got to middle school and then she stopped growing...she hit her final height the same time I did, when she was 12. Really thought she would pump out a few extra inches, but shes 18…

I used to always wear a size 10... 9.5 in open toe shoes. As of about a year ago...good luck getting into a 10 in anything...Im a solid 11 now. Ever notice...the bigger the shoe, the more glitter involved?! What is up with that?!

I make a huge leafy green salad with lettuce (100g), carrots..some bell pepper (25-30g each)...( total @30 cals), then mix a can of drained tuna (@100 cals) with my mayo, mustard and relish carefully measured out to whatever I cals Im working towards...about half a Tbs (@6 grams) each come to @50 cals. Then mix all of that…

Yeah, probably a bit too true!! INFP You’re single because: You idealize the crap out of potential partners and then get upset when their reality doesn’t measure up. You’ll get into a relationship when: You meet someone who also wants the rest of his or her life to resemble a Nicholas Sparks novel.

Just eating at a deficit. Not barring foods...actually Ive been eating more types of foods than I usually do and having a blast now that Im cooking my meals from home and finding new recipes to try. But yeah, I dont do any special diet, or eat low fat, low / no / reduced foods. Ive been walking as well... Just went Dragon…

I don't mind dating someone shorter than me ... as a teen I dated a guy who was around 5'2" (though, that did get awkward...only cause I was still a kid and well...he was a sweet guy though) and then more recently dated a guy who was 5'5. We still hang out all the time and I don't even notice the height difference. What I…

Old Navy jeans fit me (Im a 36" inseam) but I wouldnt recommend them to anyone...they are horrible quality and stretch out looking all mishapen and rediculous looking within half an hour of having them on. But I have a disproportionately large behind, and their Sweetheart jeans are the only ones Ive found so far that gives…

LoL and I am 5'10" and need 36" minimum...otherwise I look like Im all ready for the great flood. I met one lady shorter than me with my inseam, and when I was 18, I used to snag Levis from a guy who was 6'6 cause we had the same inseam! Anyway...yeah, to me anyone who can wear heels and only come up to my height isnt that…

Im glad you did some research and posted this...your first comment about how the anecdotes about eggs made you think it was just picky eaters and special snowflakes really threw me. Kiddo eats everything from eel to goat to well...a myriad of foods that many people have never tried / would not want to try. I have an…

My daughter has a bad reaction to eating eggs...not if its cooked in something and a small amount, like with cakes or whatever... but to just sit and eat quiche or scrambled eggs etc... within a couple hours her stomach is in knots and she feels pretty horrible the rest of the day. By the next day she is fine though.…

I think...well, find, that on the dating sites, people often say things to make themselves appear more interesting...but in reality, not too many actually have "traditional" hobbies or would admit to them. Like...I love to crochet, Im not putting that ish on a dating profile LOL!!! So for hobby / past-time I put down…

What is your starting weight listed as in your log? If you gained weight over your starting weight, your weight loss may still be over that number..until it dips below that you wont see a loss. If you go to "Check In" And "Edit Previous Entries" you can change your starting weight to the correct on, then youll start seeing…

Not *AS* a diet...but within one. Really though, the thing is....if you dont want to eat burgers, chips or any other specific type of food ever again, no one is saying you should... Nor is anyone saying that anyone should only eat burgers, chips and junk *as* a diet. If someone is trying to lose weight, that would never…

Seriously! If I have some extra calories left, I feel *way* better using it to have a treat...! Banning foods from my lips that I enjoy *foreverrr* because "Im on a diet" is the most depressing weight loss thought ever. The mental stress of never allowing myself to eating certain foods ever again to lose weight and keep it…

Miami... not rare to have guys yell "Oye Mami!" from their cars as they drive by... Or complete strangers walking up to me asking to be my "special friend" ... Special friend?! What?! Its unnecessary rudeness... just something to do to make someone else feel very uncomfortable.

Awe! No worries!! Come on over and join in! :smiley:
