Outstanding! I'm your man! Never settle for a six-pack when you can have a guy with a keg.

My bad. I'll try to edit better the next time I write.

Actually, I included the info about where I've been in my life to show that I (like everyone else), have had to work to overcome obstacles. As part of that, I have made choices. Big choices and little choices. Some have worked out for the best, some were very bad. But regardless, I've always tried to make the best of the…

192!!! Congratulations, and great success!

P.S. - Yesterday, I awoke at 3 a.m. to revise my powerpoint presentation for my speech later that morning, attended two different meetings for two different state bar committees in two different locations, gave my speech in front of 350 lawyers and judges, met son #2 for lunch, drove home from Austin to Houston, and…

When I was a kid, people encouraged me to take naps and eat. Now I get yelled at for doing them. What the heck happened? Anyway, happy birthday young lady! Have a wonderful day filled with love, laughter and happiness.

Morbid obesity is temporary if you work (through diet and exercise) to eliminate it. However, knee, ankle or hip problems could be permanent and require serious surgery if structural damage is done. Unfortunately, you don't know about that structural damage until AFTER it occurs. Why take the chance? I started at 478…

Thank you for the great tip about quinoa. I am going grocery shopping this afternoon and will pick some up!

Thank you all for your insights. I'm ok on the water front. Been drinking about 40-60 ounces of water before and after exercise. And I definitely did feel better after eating a good protein/carb breakfast (Pam-sauteed onions and red and yellow peppers with reduced fat turkey sausage crumbles and 4 egg whites. I will try…

Whoa... I understand the watching tv and working out... but peeing coffee? Incredible!

Hard to turn it off at the end of the day sometimes. Sorry!

Way to go, Helen! I firmly believe becoming conscious of what we're doing is the first step in fixing it. I am thrilled for your positive eating experience. S.R.

I'm six days into the great Godiva experiment. After selecting my precious allotment of four pieces (duly recorded in MFP when consumed) I counted nineteen empty slots in my 4 pound box. That means I'm averaging 3.17 pieces per day. So far, so good! Scott R.

I wish you hadn't said that. Now I'm thinking about George Costanza and his pastrami sandwich.

Most people talk about overeating as the cause to obesity. As one who presently weighs in at 451, but was 478 about a month ago, I don't think that's it. I think it's eating the WRONG things. Over the past month, I have retrained myself to enjoy cooked and raw fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean meats, and…

If you can, how about leaving. Make it a hurrication.

Houuuuuuuuuuuston, Texas.

Just looked up "night sweats" on two or three reputable health sites on the web. Apparently, they can be caused by unknown reasons, relatively benign reasons, or really serious reasons. I agree with the good, caring people who say it would be wise to be checked out by a doc.

My oldest son, who is now a PhD candidate at MIT in cancer research, got in trouble in kindergarten for trying to kiss a girl. He's a chip off the ole block (girl wise, anyway).

It's tough being one of the few guys on here who has a keg amongst the others who are only sporting a 6-pack. I do what I can to be nice to as many of the ladies on here as possible.

Public speaking. Which is weird since I have presented over 80 continuing legal education seminar speeches, and handled over a dozen jury trials. Once I've gotten the first few sentences out, everything is fine. But till then, whew!

A quick P.S. to the story. I checked his facebook page this morning and he posted the video of Adam Sandler singing "Back to School" from Billy Madison. That kid... errr... young man... cracks me up!

Her mom got busy. But they got together later in the day, so his tender 12 year old heart still beats intact. ;-)

I've had nothing to do with your success, and we've never even met. But I am sooooo proud of you and happy for you. I would give you a big hug if I could. Congratulations on such an amazing accomplishment. You are truly inspiration to the rest of us who are fighting the good fight! When I hit a vulnerable spot, I will…

I... uhhhhh..... ummmm.... uhhhh.... oh nevermind.

Outstanding! :laugh:

Welp, Jake learned his first lesson about women.... she didn't show up. Sigh. :brokenheart:

I guess I should have written my original post on the fun and games board. I was kidding. Trying to make people smile at my apparent inability to comprehend time zones. With daily life as hectic as it is, we all need a laugh now and then. Reader's Digest says it's the best medicine. I'm REALLY sorry I apparently ruffled…
