Here's a fun p.s. to my umpiring post from earlier today. Because of my NSV, everything on the field seemed brighter, clearer and sharper to me. I was so happy to be out there with my shin guards inside my pants legs. At the start of the game, I took my place behind home plate, pointed at the pitcher, and yelled, "play."…

My stomach burbling after a big (but healthy and lo cal) breakfast (egg whites, mushrooms, and torn up white meat turkey franks with garlic jalapeno hot sauce).

I will stop using that word now, because "any way you want it, that's the way you need it." Thanks for the rant! ;-)

Yay... boobie talk!

My best tips are contained in a post called, "66 pounds lost in 101 days on MFP." You can search it by that phrase. I would be happy if they would help you.

Think about it for a second. You have to eat 3500 less calories than you burn to lose a pound. I am eating at 2000 calories less per day than my TDEE, and still eating around 3000 to 3500 calories per day. That SHOULD result in a more than 1/2 pound per day loss.

ummm.... yes. And a fairly old one. ;-)

A speaking scale told me, "hey, one person at a time, PLEASE!"

Where does she park her broom when she comes to visit? :grumble: :angry: :explode: :mad:

Lost 62 pounds in 3 months drinking an average of 2-3 artificially sweetened beverages per day. Sounds like myth to me. Plus, as an added benefit, my remains will stay essentially intact for many decades due to all the preservatives. Win-Win! ;-)

That would be me! ;-)

I thought the only food consumed from within a body part was Scottish haggis. I would prefer not to eat anything that is dipped in a bowel. A bowl, maybe. :noway:

Uhhhh..... yes!

Yay! I've lost an elephant's penis, on the nose. Perhaps I should rephrase....

This is going to sound cold or uncaring, but it is not intended that way. If you've been around here for 4+ months, you know what you need to do. Either you are doing it.... consistently and successfully... or you are not. If you are doing it consistently and successfully, you will experience weight loss. The simple…

On July 25, 2012, I was 478 pounds. On October 25, 2012, I am 418 pounds. So I've lost 60 pounds in 3 months. I "only" walk. Lately, I have been wanting to jog. I haven't jogged in about 15 years, but I am scared of what it would do to my knees and ankles at this weight. Yesterday, I incorporated five "jog steps" into my…

I grew up dirt poor in a federally funded housing project. Went to high school, college and law school full time AND worked full time for 10 years. It nearly killed me. I am now one of 42 directors who run the State Bar of Texas for 90,000 licensed attorney, and a board certified civil appellate attorney for the past 26…

60 pounds since July 25, 2012 (almost exactly 3 months). But I still have at least another 198 pounds to lose (depending on where I ultimately end up).

I would like to thank all of you for your thoughtful ideas and input. I expected to feel a bit better by simply unloading what had been troubling me. I did not expect the outpouring of caring and positive, constructive suggestions and advice that I received on here. Y'all are a huge blessing in my life. Scott R. in…

It's actually Judiasm, which is the foundation (Old Testament) for much of Christianity.

I agree wholeheartedly with this post. And I totally agree this is a serious matter. However, I do find a small bit of irony in the advice to "turn her in" coming from someone whose MFP name is Snitch1.

Wow... I guess that from now on, I should bring the notary public from my office when I walk. That way, if something like this happens again, I can take a sworn statement from the other person to verify that it happened. Thanks for your comment.

I posted what follows just four days ago. I hope it is helpful for you: According to Wikipedia, "the Doldrums" is a colloquial expression derived from historical maritime usage for those parts of the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean affected by the Intertropical Convergence Zone, a low-pressure area around the equator…

Yay, I think I am stick of butter guy from your story. Even if not, you look totally fantastic! So pleased for your success and look forward to us cheering each other on the rest of the way to the finish line. Huggs!

I agree with you wholeheartedly. That's why one of the assumptions in my post (at the start of the fourth or so paragraph) is: "And then, for 'no reason,' it happens. Days, weeks and even months pass when the scale barely budges a smidgy. This happens even though we know that we are eating within our calories and…

I am sitting here with tears in my eyes. This morning, I reached 50 pounds lost with about 200 more to go. A little voice in my head was telling me, "you're never going to make it. Give in and have that stack of pancakes you've been thinking about." Then I saw the stories of all the folks, mostly older than my 51 years,…

Oh no.... ANYTHING but that!

Mrs.TheFinalThird.

I couldn't possibly be any happier for you. Or more proud to have helped to make a difference!

I find that I exercise more during my wife's period. Anything to get away from her!!!
