I'm using this if I ever have a son.

Hubby. It just sounds so stupid and annoying.

I'm almost exactly the same!! LOL I'm 5'5", CW: 168, GW 125, HW 190.

my eyes, i suppose.

I don't want to be fat anymore. Sounds simple, but it's true. It's something that I'm insecure about and it's always on my mind. By now, it's part of how I view and define myself. That definition needs to change. I'm already gaining confidence and that's what keeps me going. Overall, I don't want to look a certain way for…

Hilarious how you can spot the stupid people based on how they responded to this.

I've been asked a couple of times. I'm only 20 and this was when I was 16 and then again at 19. The first time I was working at a clothing store putting away baby clothes and a woman (who was shopping in that section) asked when I was due. I said "I'm not pregnant" and she said "oh, I just thought you were buying all those…

No, thank God.

My guess is they're either insecure or think too highly of themselves. If they're insecure, they'll feel they don't deserve someone because they're not attractive enough, smart enough, etc. So they settle for less. If they're full of themselves, they'll likely have trouble finding anyone who meets their standards because…

I'm here to lose weight. But I've already started. Been tracking here for about a month and a half, been doing gym time for 3+ months. 23 pounds down so far and I plan to continue until I each my goal (about 40 more pounds) You can add me if you want someone to encourage/support you. But I agree with others about starting…

:laugh: Just to be clear- doesn't it say what our net calories when we check our calories for the week? It's like the average of the total number of calories we've eaten throughout the entire week, yes? So, at first looking at this posters info- I thought what are they talking about? How can they eat more than 1200 each…

Agreed!! Haha. Sounds like something off a Pro-Ana website :noway: Really you just have to keep track of calories, choose the lower calorie foods when you want to eat more, eat whatever you want in moderation and hold yourself accountable for what you're consuming. I think it takes some time to get used to it. I've been…

I used to be ashamed/embarrassed by my weight as well. But then I started to think about it....everyone can pretty much already see how much we weigh, right? I mean it's hard to hide. If someone is 250 and tells someone they're 120, you're going to know that's not right. On second thought, I suppose someone could get away…

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Happy early Birthday! You look fantastic! Great job :) My NSV has been increasing my intensity during my workouts. It feels so good to strengthen my body and know that I wasn't able to handle the workout I'm doing now a few months ago.

I don't have that problem yet since I haven't lost a significant amount of weight yet, however I can see that being an issue for me in the future. I think what would work for me is if I reset my ticker. Starting with my current, new weight and have that be my new starting point. So for example, that 60 pounds you lost…

Searching through inspirational quotes! Love them.

I think I'm confused by what you mean. If you've gained weight, did you record your new weight in? Once you do it'll be accurate with however many pounds you lost total, including the weight gain.

^ You seem like such a lovely person. /sarcasm It's funny how some people can't debate something without getting all defensive and rude.

I don't think it's a big deal. In your case, I think your wife over-reacted, especially if she was going to order something but didn't because you didn't. Sounds immature. And then to text about it while you are all at the same table? Rude. I would not have been happy if I was the daughter in that case. Why make such a big…

^Agreed.

I've lost 23 pounds so far, and I have about 40 more to go. I know that so far, I've had a couple of weeks here and there where my weight didn't change. Didn't think much of it. It's a bummer for sure, especially when you're still eating right and working out. But don't stress over it! I'm not going to consider anything a…

I don't really like the saying "tomorrow is a new day" either. I think we have the same way of thinking when it comes to that. Instead, I started thinking "Okay, I messed up today. But today is only ONE day. Tomorrow I will go back to being awesome and proud of myself." Same meaning behind it, I guess. This way of thinking…

Heaviest - 190 Lightest - 135 Current- 167 Goal- 125

Thanks for the reminder :) It can be easy to lose sight of all of the hard work we've put in thus far when we think of how far we have to go. We're all rockstars here :wink:

I need both. Not talking an amazingly hot guy with a fantastic personality. That's not realistic. But I need someone who's decent looking and interesting.

Red bull for me. Damn caffeine.

Are you in a position where having a child would be the most beneficial thing for you? Get all your ducks in a row before hand. Nothing annoys me more than people who reproduce because babies are so cute and they'll have something that will love them forever and ever and they can dress them up all cute, etc. Then again I…

One of my ex's (when we were together) would always look at me and say "You have a pretty face". That's the only compliment he'd give me, over and over. It felt more like an insult when he'd say it though because of his tone. Not sure if anyone knows what I mean, but sometimes you can just tell what someone's thinking. It…

I'm in Alaska...
