I built houses :) I am an architect.

I have been cheated on and I will never understand it nor say it is ok. If you are unhappy in a relationship and nothing changes even after talking, then grow some balls and end the relationship. Not only because of the hurt but because of all the diseases you can bring into a relationship. My ex cheated and he only called…

not surprising for me either, I worked with photoshop all the time while I went to the university and it works "wonders". Back in 2005 I have seen an interesting article about a really beautiful model and how she would get photoshoped: eyes mirrored, arms longer and thinner, hair thickened etc...Almost every published…

oh my god you really look fantastic, stunning. :flowerforyou: You have an amazing body and you really give me hope to be able to wear a bikini one day too. Congratulations!

bump for later :)

my ex told me in a club: hey go out of my way, you are fat I can't see anything. I am 5'7" and did weight about 148 lbs back then. my former best friend: ugly girls always have beautiful friends, gosh your friend is so hot family members after just I just lost about 20 lbs and weighting 148 again. well you could lose at…

I agree with this. If you have tried talking to him about it and he still "only" complains then it is time for you to reconsider if he is the right man for you. But we all can only tell you how we see it from what you have written and there is always more to it and never easy to end a relationship if you still love someone…

you look stunning and thank you so much for sharing your pictures with us. I have about 40 lbs to lose and my goal is 130 too...so now I know how I can look like if I stick to it. Congratulations again.

Hi Chris and welcome to mfp. I am Chrissi and my husband is in the military too (Army). I am sure that you will achieve your goal in no time and by joining mfp and chaning your eating habits you are already on the right way.

welcome to mfp :) Just take it one day at a time and I really find it helpful to log everything I eat to keep me from eating too many snacks or things that will have too many calories. Getting back on track is always the hardest thing but you can do it and you will do it :) So now it is the time for you to grab your…

welcome to mfp :) I had to look twice, you look stunning, I want to look like that when I turn 50 too :) I am sure you will reach your goal. Everybody here is really supportive and this makes it so much easier to stay on track.

I agree with the others, try to eat more and just my 2 cents a pound is a pound, so a pound of fat is a pound of muscle. So muscles don't weight more than fat. It is like 2 lbs of feathers weight as much as 2 lbs of concrete :)

I will log it, but have to really guess how much calories it will be since I cannot really weight how much I am eating. I just know it will be a lot of calories since we will eat cheese fondue with baguette. Since I only get that once a year I won't dwell on the calories too much and just work out some more during the day…

1. I want to have my husband back home (currently deployed for the 6th time) 2. getting closer to my goal weight which is still 30 lbs away...but each lb is one lb closer :)

It can work, but doesn't have to work out, you never know. My now husband and I were long distance for years since he was always stationed somewhere else or deployed. He was even 2 oceans away, Hawaii - Germany. I did never regret waiting for him when he was deployed and we both made a lot of sacrifices so we could talk.…

I lost about 27 lbs in 4-5 weeks, I stopped eating - nothing to be proud of...things went upside down, I ate again...slowly the weight came back on...I made unhealthy eating choices again - only drank milk for a few weeks...So everytime I started eating again I gained weight back, but not all of it ...I started working out…

I am so so so very damn, super duper proud of you!!! :) :flowerforyou:

I looked at your diary. To me it says positive. about 500 cal left, so no negative for me :) only the sugar is over (so a negative number)

thank you for sharing. I have Quinoa back home but couldn't find a recipe I liked so far and now I found several on her website I might try :)

I have some good ones, but am about to head to bed, if you write me a message I will mail you some German vegetarian meals if you want to.

Don't let it get to you. I think it is just something we all will have to face over and over again. You tell them you are a vegan or vegetarien and some people will start right away trying to change you and make you eat meat. I just tell them you don't tell me what to eat and I won't tell you what to eat either. I don't…

I agree to what you have said, but I am one of those who says "I can eat everything in moderation". That doesn't mean I can eat a pizza every single day or other things, but if I eat a slice of pizza once in a while (not talking about weekly either) it is ok for me, because I won't feel like "missing out" on something and…

Amazing, but I could never do it without hitting the floor with my face :)

I don't have any advice, but I just wanted to say "congratulations"!!!! :D

thank you for taking the time to write all this down!!!

I do that, wanted to know if she does it too :)

I know that and have read a lot about it, but since I am supervised and they told me not to eat them back I am not to. And for me it wouldn't work eating more again. Tried it, failed, gained weight...That is what I did the whole time of this year and even working out 4 times a week at least didn't help...

I don't know how tall you are or how many calories you should eat a day. I have been told that I should eat 1400 to lose weight in a healthy way and mfp told me 1200 cal. But mfp can't know all the background I told the doctors :) I don't eat back my exercise calories. I don't believe in eating back when I just worked out…

I second that, you look amazing and are an inspiration!!!

I think the others have already given you great advice and answers. For me it is a struggle every time to go to the gym too because it is on an army base and everybody working out there is in an amazing shape. BUT you know what it doesn't or better shouldn't matter, because I am going there to do something for my health…
