Awwww...Oh, girl. I'm so sorry that happened to you ;-( That was a very mean spirited and awful and yes, very COWARDLY thing for someone to do.

I love the Market Pantry Lime Margarita flavor ;-) I just *love* everything Target actually!

Your story sounded a lot like mine! I was 265 at my heaviest. I finally found a gym I felt comfortable going to and after several months, summoned up the courage to try group fitness classes. I was 50 lbs down when I took my first spin class (finished the whole hour ---but mainly because I went with a friend and I refused…

Agreed! I got the Garmin FR 305 with GPS for Christmas from my folks and it's amazing! It's a little bulky for my small wrists but it's so awesome. Not only can you monitor your pace and distance, but it will tell you your overall pace and your best pace. you can set alerts so it will chime if you fall below your set…

I totally agree! I've started cleaning up my friends list based on "one side" friendships. If someone wants encouragement and motivation & accountabilty, then they should reciprocate.

LOVE it! Enjoy that NSV, you've worked hard to EARN it ;-) So proud of you & glad you are my MFP friend!
-
Thanks for sharing, my beautiful friend! It's like you read my mind! Luv ya ;-)

Having LOTS of spare room between the steering wheel and your belly ;-) NOT fearing being seated at a booth in a restaurant AND again, sliding into said booth and having lots of spare room between the table & your tummy! Being able to comfortably sit in an airplane and NOT looking for people with that dreaded look on their…

Yep, I still see myself as that fat girl. When I go shopping, I still reach for the bigger sizes. When I'm at the gym, I still feel fat when I see all the other "thinner, fitter, smaller" girls walking around. It sucks and I think it just takes a long time for your mind/head to connect with your eyes. I still see my…

Girl! You know me, you know my story. You can read my profile again if it will help. Best decision of my life. it IS a TOOL.... It is to HELP you with your portions. it does NOT take away cravings nor does it take away the need for exercise. YOU still have to be accountable and follow doctor's orders & guidelines. There…

Go to Babies R Us and get those little bottle/plastic nipple cleaners.... A pack of 3 is like $1 and some change. Works great!
-
I had lap band surgery in Jan 2008 after being overweight/obese my entire life. Yes, I tried counting calories and exercising. I'd lose weight and then gain it back, plus interest. Yo yo dieting is just as unhealthy so if you find that works for YOU, then good for you. I work out, I have to watch what & how much I eat…

Hee hee...MY pup will go with me (wherever we end up ;-)

I've been a member of LA Fitness since Nov of 2007. I love it! it's the first gym I ever really felt comfortable going to. I *love* body works plus abs but it really depends on the instructor. I have been lucky in that I always manage to find really great instructors. If for some reason, I don't like the instructor, I'll…

Congrats on your first half ;-) You did fantastic! You should be proud. And your time was nothing to sneeze at. I did my first half on March 27 and I had "staggered" goals. My main goal was to finish the whole thing in 1 piece. Then my "I can be content if I finished at this time goal" was to finish in less than 3 hours.…
-
Very awesome! You look great :-) This is EXACTLY why I *cringe* YES, cringe when I hear people complain/gripe/***** & moan about people complimenting & noticing their weight loss by saying "wow! I can totally see it in your face." It is NOT a putdown but an actual honest to goodness COMPLIMENT. You can look younger, less…

I like chicken parmesan on top of white rice rather than with spaghetti noodles. I also like to mix in some black beans & corn & some skinless chicken...you can also add in some sour cream & shredded cheese.....yummmm! Or...add in a can of creamy chicken & mushroom soup....delish!
-
I love my *baby* girl ;-)
-
I know how you feel but honestly, I *cringe* when I hear people complain about this compliment. WHY? Because it really IS a nice compliment! Don't believe me? Go check out my profile, I have 2 "before" pictures. I look so freakin' bloated and it's hard to believe that was me almost 130 lbs ago. I have been a member at my…

Kate Gosslin...please....JUST GO AWAY!!!!
-
I'd have to agree ;-) I'm the same way, ice cream is my kryptonite....especially around TOM. I also cannot be trusted with a tub of ice cream. So as a once or twice a week treat, I go to Chick Fil A for the "ice dream" cone.... 170 cals and not as convenient as my kitchen, (and TONS better than Mickey D's ---but I've NEVER…
-
*VERY* well said!
-
I agree ;-)
-
I really like the Isopure Carb Perfect from Vitamin Shoppe but it's a little pricey. I still have some of the chocolate. I bought some vanilla whey protein "From the makers of muscle milk" at Costco....HUGE bag, like 5 or 6 lbs for under $30. I have perfected my absolute favorite "workout" day smoothie: ~ 6-8 oz of orange,…

Ditto ;-)

I also have a Garmin Forerunner 305 and I love it!!! Got it for Christmas from my folks. I love how it tracks your pace, gives you your average lap time, your best pace, etc. It is a little bulky for me but it is so awesome. I thought I had wanted the Nike+ but I had gotten some Nike+ shoes and did NOT like them at all.…
-
Agreed! I USED to just *loooooove* Facebook and I still log in, just not everyday. And when I do log in, I'm definitely not on as long as I used be! Absolutely MUCH more addicted to MFP. I just ran my first half marathon and I definitely got more pre-race well wishes & good lucks and then even more congrats & kudos here…

Measure, measure, MEASURE! I love peanut butter too and I have tried some of the other products. I bought the almond butter from Costco (Maranatha ..sp?) and was so NOT impressed. My mom got me some pb2 and that was okay (I'll use that in my smoothies to save on calories but still use just 1 tbsp of "real" peanut butter…
-
Way to go my friend! So glad to have you around for support. You are doing great!
-
WOW! That is perhaps one of the most mean spirited things I've heard....Sorry sweetheart, that is NOT a "friend" worth keeping. I'm prerry sure she knows what she's doing no matter what her reasons are. She's probably not likely to change anytime soon either. Make new friends. That one is not truly a friend.
