Thanks so much!!! I appreciate you taking the time to do that for me. I (obviously) don't know a whole lot about this yet but I AM learning!

I'd like to know the answer to this too. My left kidney woke me up this past Saturday night. I'm on antibiotics now and it feels better but there is still a burn. I'm wondering if it may be due to too much protein.

My husband could have written this. Maybe with the exception of being able to mimic. He is brilliant but sometimes makes bad first impressions.

I'm a long way out fitness wise but I AM going to do one. I am determined. It just looks too awesome (and hard) not to do. I may send some of you add requests, I'd really like to follow you and see how it turns out. Exciting!!! :bigsmile:

I buy 8 O'Clock Hazelnut whole bean and then grind it as fine as the machine will let me, usually espresso grind. I brew it strong, probably double strength. I use splenda to sweeten and real half and half. A 16 oz mug of coffee runs me 44 calories. I've tried the fat free and sugar free creamers and I just really prefer…

Yup. Brought a tear to my eye and reminded me of a couple doctor visits. I AM off my cpap now, my doctor said I'd cured myself. Isn't in an amazing feeling to stun your doctors?! My next stunned doctor will be next Tuesday. My OB/GYN told me last year that I would never be able to have children. I've lost almost 100 lbs…

:love: Married, very happily.

I weigh every day but I don't log unless I reach a new low weight. I fluctuate wildly up and down about 3 pounds.

That pouch of tuna fish in my desk drawer.

Oh Bacon, Where Art Thou?

I was a 9 before I gained. At my high weight I wore an 11. I'm in a 10 now.

To run. To be slim enough that it won't hurt my knees anymore and to be healthy enough to run for at least an hour. To gain muscle and lose fat. I don't need to be "ripped" or to "be able to wear that bikini". I want to be FIT. When I obtain these two goals I want to do the Tough Mudder. I will finish it and I will be…

I have the same, exact problem. Let me tell you what I've done and maybe you can use some of my information. I purchased ProFoot inserts (cheaper than Dr. Scholls and they work great) and I switch them to whatever pair of shoes I want to wear. Also I purchased an Ace arch support brace. Basically, it's a wide piece of…

My husband and I bought our house in October of 2010. It is in the country. We have planted 15 fruit trees, 6 grape vines, blackberry, blueberry and gooseberry bushes. We built a chicken coop and have a rooster and five hens. If you are wanting good, large, brown eggs (this is what I prefer) and gentler chickens I would…

I had forgotten about that! So glad you posted about it :bigsmile: Thanks!!

I just recently (last week) got my HRM. I was thinking that MFP was over-estimating my calories burned but instead, according to my monitor, it was under-estimating. Also, and this is helpful to ME to see how you are reacting to your HRM, you and I are very close to the same size. I am 5'7" and weigh 268. I have been going…

I think a lot more people go through this very thing that what we realize. I have had people pull away from me and then, I have had other people get closer to me. It is odd how certain people react to seeing someone go after and succeed at bettering themselves. It's like they don't know how to handle it or maybe they're…

I vote for a T-shirt that has "I may be fat but you're an a**hole" written on the back of it. LOL But seriously, way to go, Dude. I need to get my fat*ss out there with you. Great job, keep it up!!!

Eye contact and then smile. Good eye contact impresses me.

Yup, the dehydration thing. Just be sure to up your water and you should be fine. I won't give up my beer either :wink: :drinker:

:smile: I am an owl. That makes sense. )OvO( The owl is the tranquil face of the bird personalities. A creature of great integrity, its quiet demeanor accords it an air of mystery and diffidence. It is known as the serene, wise observer of human society. Always well groomed, it is a noble individual with elegantly chiseled…

This may sound silly but I tend to look at 1 pound of fat as a block of Velveeta cheese. Then I imagine how big the stack is. Always makes me happy :happy:

367 down to 269 right now :flowerforyou:

Dude, you look about ten years younger. Great job!

Maybe what I need is a good pedometer then.

Gorgeous babies!! I have always had Rotties myself. Also similarly vicious as your pups are. They are great family dogs and some of the biggest, sweetest babies EVER. Thanks so much for sharing. People need to know.

Tinned Willy. Sounds like a British rock band =)

In America we avoid spotted **** if possible. I'm thinking it must be something else but heck if I know what.

This ^^ If your body is not used to that much exercise your muscles will retain water. The muscle tissue will develop micro-tears and water will build up to protect the tissue until it heals. It's a natural process but it can make it appear that you've gained weight. Also, if you are burning nearly every calorie you're…

Scared to death over the loose skin. I already have it on my arms and legs and stomach, it isn't totally 'deflated' (for lack of a better term) yet but it is bothering me. I have lost a total of 99 pounds so far and I have another 80 or so to go. I worry I might need the surgery to remove the excess and in the same breath,…
