I totally agree. I only have friends I know in the real world, and some select people who I feel are very helpful, or that I know I can be helpful to them. I get tired of the "I'm cleaning out my friends list tonight of people who haven't logged in five days" kind of crap. When people do that, I delete them. I'm not here…

I had to set mine private because of the ill-informed and not-so-helpful comments. I have a chronic health condition that, unless you have it, you wouldn't have a clue what my diet should be. And I am my own worst task-master ... got tired of all the comments. Some, of course, were well-intentioned from friends "in the…

Nope, I'm into brunettes with short hair.... and dark eyes... :)

Shouldn't paint all non-gay men with the same brush. I'm not into all that macho bull**** and all my lady friends seem to really think I'm just awesome. Sorry you are having such a hard time.

Okay, my doc prescribed Bentyl (Dicyclomine, 20 mg.) He did it months ago and I only took it twice, felt light-headed (half stoned) and discontinued. I'm one to usually try to go the natural route. But now I'm getting to the point where I may try the meds. Anyone have any experience with this drug? Here's a handy…

It's like the stock market - you gotta be in it for the long haul. Don't watch the kettle boil or it will seem like it never will. Keep up your good work. Soon, you'll see the results you are looking for and you'll have positive momentum to carry you forward. :)

I love you and I don't even know you. I do so appreciate your thoughts and the way you've shared with me, and allowed me to share with you. It means a lot to me and is very helpful. But don't worry, Jenna has my heart! LOL! :)

I got a new doctor today. I was all excited. When I mentioned my symptoms and saw him put his notepad and pen down on his knee and raise his eyebrows, I knew I was in trouble. I got the same ol' same ol' - excercise more, take Benefiber, yadda yadda yadda. What part of "I've been doing that for a year" don't these guys…

Over 40! Woohoo! Poundin' Jenna (my treadmill) hard to make this goal! :)

I watched it all the way through and I still eat meat. And I raise chickens for meat and eggs.

Cut most of it out. IBS sufferer. :(

Of course you won't die, silly. What the hell are you thinking? Your weight will just transfer up to that last person who commented before me ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^... :)

Insects. I see these people on tv eating chocolate-covered grasshoppers, etc. NASTY. I did eat a few garden slugs in my lifetime, but that was by mistake ... hazards of being an avid gardener ... those things can hide inside your green onions, etc. If anyone's interested, they are like Anbesol - totally numb your mouth and…

Thank you for keeping it on the down low, as we agreed. :)

I have MFP blog about my love affair with my treadmill. I use 'em and abuse 'em. On my third one, haha. :)

I'm too old for that. :(

Right on.

Over the holidays, I ate well under the MFP calorie limit. I was so proud of myself. I had 500 calorie deficits every day. I worked out 30 to 40 minutes on my treadmill every day. But my weight went up five pounds. After two weeks, I still had that five pounds. WTF???? Those five pounds are gone now. Looking back at it and…

But look at you! 34 pounds down. You are doing GREAT!!! Thanks for the honesty. I tell everyone it's like the stock market. You will go up, you will go down. You will have good weeks and you will have bad weeks. It's the overall trend that counts. Keep your eye on the goal, not on where you are on the track. Don't watch…

OMG I'm old. Didn't recognize hardly any of the groups/songs that were posted thus far.... no requiem for an aged Pink Floyd fan... :)

Thank you so much for sharing this. It's just what I needed to ready to confirm that what I'm doing is really working, and why.

What a fabulous and AMAZING story! You have my deepest respect and admiration for the progress you have made - and by not looking for an easy, miraculous way out, but to chart your own path and work your *kitten* off. Literally. Great job!

I'm a guy. Sex calories don't go over the single-digit, haha. Now what do we do? :)

It's like the stock market. Don't sweat the ups and downs. Stay focused on the long haul. My weight went UP five pounds the last two weeks, despite my having doubled the intensity of my workouts, eating right, etc. It was all water retention - though I ate reasonably, I was eating saltier-than-normal foods for me - summer…

Trying to lose mine, haha. :)

I went UP five pounds over the holidays, despite doubling my workouts and eating small portions. Turns out that in my weigh-in today, it's back to where it should be - six pounds less. I believe it was water-retention. Sure I ate right and exercised, but I was eating foods that were saltier than I would normally eat -…

I get a kick out of watching people on MFP stressing about how much or how little they can eat. While we worry about WHAT we can eat. I can not eat many of my favorite foods anymore... :( Sunday, I made a spicy curry chicken with spicy Indian rice (used brown rice) ... it cost me time off work this week as I was too sick…
