Meeting the guy means nothing. If she spends more time talking to him than you then I'll bet she feels like something is lacking in your relationship and is looking elsewhere for whatever it may be. The problem is, even if she isn't cheating right now the closer she gets to this other guy the further she gets from you…

ew 245 lbs !

The only way to lose weight is to lose fat, if you lose fat you lose inches, hence why people are asking if you've lost inches, you can't lose a lot of weight without losing mass.

your ink (and body) really rock that dress! Love it!

salad... seriously, for a while I couldn't get enough of it , no dressing, nothing fancy, just letttuce, tomato, carrot, green pepper and sometimes cucumber. I went through a TON of veggies. Now for some reason I can't stand the taste of it lol I have to force myself to eat salad .

Surgery is not the cure all, if you don't learn to live a healthier life you would most likely just end up gaining the weight back anyway . You CAN lose weight , nothing is stopping you and you've proved that by the weight you've already lost. Keep going , we are all here for you!

wow so maybe everyone around me has weird thumbs because my thumbs look completely different from theirs ? Lol

well like i said before it bends very slightly but not to the extent that I've seen other people bend theirs and you can't see any knuckle (as shown in pic) at the base

yea I can move my whole thumb across my palm and bend the second joint to touch the base of my finger but it doesn't actually bend at the base of my thumb

I have no clue, I got down to an acceptable weight last year (and gained some back after my dad died) and I really didn't feel any different, maybe it was just all the sadness I was going through at the time. I can't say "i'm getting a tattoo" even though I'd love to because I have five kids and who knows If I'll ever be…

I didn't purposefully look for a man who was almost twice my age , my husband has always looked very young, he didn't have a single gray hair on his body, he was fit with smooth tight skin and a very charming smile. I just assumed he was 25ish and I have always unfortunately looked older than I am so he assumed I was at…

Super ridiculous reply, at a 2 lb loss per week it would only take about 8 months to lose 70 lbs. it's not magic, it's dedication. Anyway Great job on your weight loss!

pizza! I know it's bad and I don't care, I will spend the majority of the week trying to make healthy decisions , but sometimes I just need some pizza and I won't deny myself these foods anymore, every time I try to I end up falling back into binge eating and gaining the weight back. Having these unhealthy things sometimes…

My husband is 18 years older than me I'm 23 he's 41 , we have five children and have been happily married for 5 years. My mom and step dad have been together 20 years and he is 10 years older than her. My husbands father is 20 years older than his wife and they have been happily married for 15 years. Age means nothing.

Spent the day hauling bucket after bucket of dirty water out of my in ground pool. Gotta scrub it down tomorrow. fun fun.

It could, I know when I was thin my bust was much larger than anything else so I would have been a triangle.

I'm still a straight rectangle lol

I'm a rectangle , but yea I saw that one coming lol,

I wasn't "skinny" but I wasn't fat either , I was just too lazy to work out so I had no muscle lol . I didn't gain any weight until I had my second child , well I gained weight with my first but it all dropped off within 2 months. I ended up at 200 + lbs and am now 157 (WAS at 145 last year but my dad died last summer and…

Plus it's much easier to play hide and seek, tag, red rover etc. when you have most or all of the people living under the same roof :D

Some of us grew up in families with a lot of children, so imagining a life without that type of atmosphere is a strange concept. I never thought I wanted kids , but the truth is, I wouldn't have it any other way, I loved growing up in a big family , my siblings were my built in friends :)

I have three biological and two step kids, ages 17(boy) , 15(girl), 6(boy), 4(girl), 2 (boy), the youngest three being mine. I definitely do not want anymore, after my third child i made hubby get fixed lol

I believe i dropped 15 or more in my very first month on MFP simply bc I NEVER drank water before that and I had a ton of water weight.

@ Ironmanpanda - 4th pic crazy ripped calves!

Not everyone is thick skinned and being female gives us a disadvantage because most of us feel very strong emotions. I have learned to hide my feelings, but that doesn't mean they aren't there.

That is just terrible, but remember that we all feel down about ourselves sometimes, don't let that guy determine the way YOU feel about YOU. He doesn't know you he doesn't know what you have been through and he could probably care less about your health and only wanted to boost his own ego. Just remember, you have a LOT…

There was this one time... oh wait , that was a movie. Nevermind. :P

only on days that end in y.

It might have just been a bad day, I've had days where I'll give the kids snacks not thinking about it bc I'm so busy , but it's not a normal thing. It is easy to get overwhelmed with kids and snacks usually do get them to leave you alone for a bit so yea it can become a problem if you don't realize what you're doing.…

I never have trouble staying asleep it's only falling asleep that's difficult so oranges are a perfect quick snack to get my stomach to leave me alone long enough to get to sleep :P
