I use Daily Tracker to record my weight, it's for Iphone. Does a simple graph and gives weekly averages (plus monthly and yearly) There may be better ones out there but this one is free.

I've read Gone Girl and Sharp Objects, both were really freaky I thought. (Freaky in a good way. :laugh: ) The end of Sharp Objects will blow you away also. I have Dark Places on my reader but needed to take a break after Sharp Objects. I think I will need a three day weekend with no plans because it was very hard to put…

Thanks for the tips

My DH hates these kind of jokes, I can't wait to go home and annoy him. :bigsmile:

Often, most of my 5:2 diet group are from the UK so some of what they eat makes me scratch my head. And I have a friend in Austrailia that I often check her diary and wonder - the last two days she has had some kind of husks. Hmmm and rocket melon. I need to ask ...

My boss once hired a woman just BECAUSE she was fat; fatter than the boss is. The boss wanted to feel smaller than somebody I guess. The lady even got bad referrences. It was a year of hell before we got rid of her.

I don't weigh through out the day because I think that would be just too depressing but I have been known to weigh 4-5 times in the morning. Before the shower, after the shower. After the morning tea has had a chance to filter through.. sometimes I even hop around a little to see if it moves. :bigsmile:

I think I'm going to give it a try starting tomorrow. The evening workouts are just not getting done and I've been busting my butt eating right with very slow results. If a few early morning workouts can get the weight moving I'll be very happy. But not at 4am :laugh: , luckily I don't normally get up until 7:30 so will…

Great job! You look amazing.

Great job!

"bump" is a way of marking your spot so you can pull up the thread again under My Topics. That way if you want to read it again or see additional responses where you left off you won't have to search for the thread again.

I keep Hershey kisses in my drawer at work, each is 22 calories. Usually 2 will do me.

What gets me is that she was 30 years old and a mother of 8! :noway: Wonder how much coke those kids drink? I've heard of the Mountain Dew addiction in the Appalacian mountains, maybe they have something similar in New Zealand.

Maybe your wife is missing doing things with you and suggested it as a way to go out together? As for your mother, yeah moms are like that. Looks like you are doing well dispite them so keep up the good work!

Thanks for all the posts and pictures, I am 57 and have been "fat and happy" for the last 10 years. I want to be healthy and happy for the next 30. I love the before and after pictures, gives me hope.

Great job, you look amazing! I love the pictures from the dressing room, can't wait to do that. Thanks for the inspiration.

thanks for the updates, I wonder if Swiss Mocha powder would work for the hot chocolate powder?

sounds good!

sounds great, will try them

stayed the same, 180.6

good post, but beats me. I'm 57 and live in Croc wedge sandals, work pants and crinkle shirts I got from K-mart because they kind of hide the fat. My casual wardrobe consists of t-shirts from JCP and "relaxed shorts" from Sears. I feel frumpy, fat and old. At least I won't be fat for too much longer but I'm sure not going…

I'll bet your mother and father don't think you are a failure or useless. I'll bet they are thrilled you are not dead from a drunk driver or hooked on drugs. Bet they brag to all their friends about their son who is in college and going to the gym 4-5 times a week. Frankly, looks to me like you are WAY ahead of the curve.…

Oh this!! My husband and I can get competitive in some situations and I might get snarky if I'm "losing". Sometimes he calls me on it and I feel bad for hurting his feelings. I know how frustrated she must feel but you need to let her know you need her support. I also agree with the others to go to different meetings. She…

I started it yesterday - first fast/500 calorie day. I did not find it to be as hard as I thought it would be and today I found I was much less hungry than expected and after my normal lunch I felt stuffed. There is a MFP group for 5:2 which you should join, there are a number of people there that have been doing it for…

182.0 today

What a great story! You've done an amazing job both on the weight loss and also in the motivational story.

Back up to 183.4 today :explode: Was 181.6 yesterday - rats. Can't think of what I ate to hold so much water. Oh well, should have a good loss next week.

5 and 1/2, had to give The Bible only 1/2 because I don't think I have ever read it all. Thanks for the link.

A vendor who had not seen me for a few years before I got married came in one day and said "Wow, what happened to you?!" I told him I got fat and happy. :wink: Sorry for all the ignorant things people have said to the rest of you.
