22.7 miles on my treadmill! Still in it. It's encouraging to hear from all of you who are sweating it out! Rock on!

I will support you in any way I can. You are taking the necessary first steps! We're all in this together.

Be glad you have parents who: 1) are alive 2) love you and 3) take you to Outback. Enjoy your dinner. Sounds like you are doing well with your goals anyway. Eat sensibly, but enjoy your food, and their company. Signed, a parent of three daughters. :)

To that idiot who posted the "Why keep your food diary private" Forum post. Because I choose to, because I don't need people like you coming in and nitpicking everything I do. I'm not doing it for you.

My thoughts exactly... first thing that popped into my mind isn't suitable for this forum.

Love your snarkiness!

This is why you shouldn't take online health advice too seriously...

I am very open and very accountable. I am my own taskmaster. I had mine public, but started getting naggy, ill-informed and non-constructive criticisms from some people who had to nit-pick every little thing. I have a health condition that really limits what I can and can not eat. I got tired of dealing with it.

It's just my name.

I eat Quaker Instant Grits (150 cal.) with a tsp of butter or "I can't believe it's not Butter." Been doing that for years ... love it! Easy to make at work!

To whomever sext me TWICE last weekend ... wrong number. Seriously, dude.

Nothing. What kind of question was that??

I'm in!

Yeah, you're probably right. But we still rock anyway! Thhhpppttt! Happy New Year!!!

Well, those of you in the United States, that is. :)

You are figuring it out, Anna! Glad to see you here! You know you have been one of my abolutely favorite people the last decade or two ... I look forward to interacting with you here!

Across the Puget Sound from Seattle, Washington - on five, forested acres outside of a town called Port Orchard, Washington. We have chickens, huge, bountiful gardens, a green house and a fully functional observatory (yes, astronomy) on the property.

I have a huge crush on someone.

You need to report his behavior. Sorry, I know you don't want to, but it's the only way. Don't delay.

Never give up! Sometimes it's tough to stay motivated, but it looks like you are doing great!!! Keep up the great work. I wish you peace and prosperity in the new year and quick recovery from surgery. :)

Good for you! It's not weight or BMI for me ... it's waistline. I'm working to fit into a size pants I feel comfortable in. I don't care where the weight ends up. And I'm building a lot of muscle mass as I work toward my goals, so weight really is not a good benchmark to use.

I keep finding myself sliding more and more into gloom and despondency. Which, if you knew me, you would not believe. I've always been the life of the party. Always been the "Fixer," the one who comes in and makes it all right. This is feeling so out of control. This has been a very dark week.

yes. it doesn't bother me if a woman breast-feeds in public. Put a modesty blanket or towel over yourself, find a seat and feed your baby. Now without a modesty towel or covering, that would probably give me pause. But I think most women have some modesty. I have seeen dozens of women breast-feed in public and I was never…

My wife is very petite ... tiny. And she loves me! :)

It doesn't have to be just about weight, either. And family is the worst (in my case). They are all SUPER right-wing religious. I am not. I have my faith, but I'm not into spending my day trying to figure out what the will of the Lord is in every aspect of my life. So I'm the black sheep. I can totally relate to you (and…

huh..huh... you said 'removable paddles' ... huh huh...
