"I Gotcha," by Joe Tex.

I like women so much I feel like a lesbian.

I started at 478 a little more than two months ago and am now at 432 (46 pounds). I started at ten minutes of walking really, really slowly a little more than two months ago and am now up to 70+ minutes a day almost every day at 3.5 miles per hour. I, too, have a young son (12 years old) who I began to believe I would…

How wonderful. You are truly and literally an inspiration to others! I hope you're feeling proud because you've done a wonderful thing and affected others in a positive way!

Mrs. Third and I met when we were both 25. And after our first date, we both knew we wanted to marry the other. Within a month afterward, we were talking about it. In three weeks, we will be married for 25 years.

Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band, Austin, Tx., Erwin Center, April 15, 1988, because my oldest son was conceived literally next door to Bruce at the Four Seasons Hotel. By me... not Bruce. But how cool would that have been. ;-)

Oh wow... there ya go. Simply beautiful! Congrats on your wonderful success.

I must be doing something wrong. In the bottom picture, all I see is a shoulder and part of an arm in a red sweater. Is there some way to see the whole picture, or is that the whole picture?

My four sons nicknames are Moe, Larry, Curly and Are You Sure You're Mine?

No.

Seriously though, carrots have approximately 1 gram of fiber per ounce. All bran has approximately 10 grams of fiber per ounce. That doesn't sound like a big difference, but if you eat half a pound of each, the fiber is 8 grams for the carrots and 80 grams for the All-bran. And that IS a big difference. Good luck.

They say that laughter is the best medicine. So based on that, my answer is "poop." Thank you very much. I'll be here all week. Two shows nightly, three on Saturday. Don't forget to tip your waitress.

Yes, but that is necessary because of your dry senses of humor. :smile:

David - For the past four hours, I've struggled with how to respond to your note. All I can tell you is that children who have been raised with love and respect are generally very resilient and very forgiving. I hope that the message you took from my post is one of reconciliation, explanation and determination to make…

Nope. Just goes to show that ample lubrication is the key! ;-)

Every time I log one of my long walks, it said I walked with my dog. I'm scared to log sex because it might say the same thing.

^^^^^^ this!

I am 51 and have lost 40 pounds in 8 weeks. Long way to go, but let me know if I can help.

You are my hero, my motivation and my inspiration. Thank you for having the courage to share your experiences on here. You have contributed to my limited success so far more than you can know. You have my prayers for a quick, comfortable recovery. Scott R.

^^^^^ This!!!

I am morbidly obese. A little less than 2 months ago, I was 6' 1" and 478 pounds. I am still 6' 1", but weigh 440 pounds headed down to 220 or so. I can't speak for all card carrying members of the Morbidly Obese club. I can only speak for me. FOR ME, its as simple as Pavlov's dogs. As a child, I learned a connection…

Planned? Just kidding!!! Mrs. Third gets on here from time to time, so if it's ok, I'd rather not say. ;-)

I actually used "funnest" on purpose. You know how people always say, "tell us in your own words..."? Well, normally, as a lawyer, I have to use the words that everyone else uses. But on here, I get to make up some of my "own words" as I go. It's fun. Wheeeeeeeee....

If a child in Honduras sends you just 41 cents per day, about the cost of one cup of coffee, you are probably in starvation mode. If Leann Rimes looks fat compared to you, you're probably in starvation mode. If you eat a saltine cracker and get a bulge in your belly from it, you're probably in starvation mode. If someone…

<Just walking and following MFP, down 36 pounds in 50 days.

A 4 pound, 1 1/2 ounce box of Godiva chocolates, dispensed at the rate of no more than 4 pieces per day. Touch it and see what happens to ya.

Outstanding results. Congratulations! I am only barely into a similar journey. 50 days, 36 pounds gone. Long way to go, just taking it a food choice and exercise choice at a time. It's great to see others who have been so successful for so long. Gives me hope for my future.

I have been following MFP for seven weeks and am down 36 pounds. It CAN work, but you've got to work with it. 1. make sure you write down EVERYTHING you eat. 2. not eating enough is almost as bad as eating too much. Starvation mode is great for surviving times of famine. Not so good for optimal weight loss. 3. exercise,…

My turn to say thank you. I don't write these whatevertheyares for compensation. They're my way of saying "thank you." Thank you for all of the wonderful support that I have received on here in my effort to do what I have never before been successful doing. If my words and experiences can raise up, calm down or empower…

Thanks for the kind words!
