triple shot of espresso around 8am, and a 20oz diet coke with lunch. Or another 2 shots of espresso.

I just had a non calorie counting day 10 days ago for my birthday - not ready for another one yet! I will count calories.

Great idea, Jemhh!!

Beans, beans, beans. Boil a big pot on Sunday and dress it up different ways through the week. Work in rice and eggs as a supplement. You can usually get frozen veggies, onion, garlic, and potatoes for pretty cheap. The more you cook with basic staples, the cheaper your bill.

Skinny Puppy

Scorpions

TONS of INXS...probably too much... Lourde is a pretty decent little singer, you should check her out. The Allman Brothers Band

H no! Guns n Roses

A whole pizza (market pantry, spinach and goat cheese), jalapeno poppers (with cream cheese filling), doritos, a pint of Ben & Jerry's NY Super Fudge Chunk, and, of course, diet coke...in one sitting... Yes, it was pathological. Still working on it.

Ha! One song... Lourde

Groove is in the Heart - DeeeeeeeeLite

Insane Clown Posse

Bon Jovi

Beyonce

Coroner

I wonder if my coffee is cool enough to drink yet.

I was in the same boat with my son. The OB sent me to a registered dietician, who gave me a meal plan that kept my weight gain to a minimum (I think about 16-18 pounds at term). After birth, I found I had actually lost a little weight from the time of conception. The key is to have enough nutrients and calories so that you…

Egg and veggie frittata. Yum!

Some employers offer a flexible spending account (FSA) where the money is taken out of your check at regular intervals, pre-tax. Since this makes your 'income' smaller, you may end up paying less in taxes at the end of the year, which will make it cost less. You are reimbursed as you pay, which is handy, because most…

My ortho steered me away from Invisalign, even though he is one of their top providers. I got clear braces instead. They are actually cute. You can't even tell they are there from a distance. The clear braces are less expensive, too.

Interesting discussion. There is a huge psychological component, with differing roots, that goes along with morbid obesity. I am going through the peeling of the onion now. People can lose the weight, but unless these issues are addressed, the likelihood of reverting to negative behaviors is significant.

Go you!!! Keep it up!!!

WOW!!!! Keep it up!!! :D

two words: dried beans one more word: eggs

The whole family is on the same bandwagon as me. They can eat a little more if they want to, but nothing different. I have a hubby and two teens, fwiw. I've tried making separate meals; it's too time consuming, creates too many dishes, and the temptation to cheat (or feel irritated because you can't eat what they're…

I've been trying to weigh in a couple times a week, but even though I'm getting smaller, the weight has been pretty much at a standstill. Really, that's OK by me, because as long as my behaviors are on track, I know that stupid scale is just...stupid. :# Measurements about once a month are a good idea. Any more frequently…

The ebola thing is really hilarious! I've always been bigger than my friends, and am sad to say, I have mindlessly said some of these things. Open mouth, insert foot. I never intended for these things to be hurtful. There are some people I really need to take out for coffee and apologize face to face. I want everyone to…
