I've also had 2 baby raccoons follow me for about a mile. They were cute but it was hard to get rid of them. lol

Eww!!

Well, you have taken the first step. Congratulations, you want this and I know you can do it! Good luck. :)

That is weird!

Ha ha! those are even scarier, especially the orange bunnies. Yikes

Oh my gosh, I would have had a heart attack. That is scary!

Oh gosh that's scary. I had one stomp it's feet and grunt at me once. It was a small doe also, but it was still scary!

That's hilarious!

Yikes!!!

This!! I always check out the menu online. I pick out what I'm going to have before I even get there. Easy peasy!

Wow you have gorgeous eyes! About goals,, I'd love to lose 15-20lbs by May and to increase my jogging to running speed. :)

I am so sorry for your loss and have tears in my eyes just posting this. It does get better with time but we never really get over missing them. I lost my dad nearly 3 years ago and I still miss him like crazy. All I can do that helps me, is to remember the good times I had with my dad and to pass on some of the fun things…

Congratulations on having your hard work pay off! I learned early on that I couldnt discuss diet or health with 'those' people anymore, including family. Until they are ready to do it themselves, they don't want to hear it. It's sad but we can lose 'friends' when we lose weight, when they should be happy for us. The truth…

I was freezing after weight loss until these joyful hotflashes started. It is a strange feeling though, because when you're fat, you (or at least I) are rarely cold. I was always sweating then.

Diced mushrooms and red bell peppers with fresh spinach out of my garden, if I have some! Delish! Oh and real bacon bits sometimes.

You are doing amazing! Congrats!

Weigh it on a food scale before you cook it. I learned the hard way when I had been measuring 1/2 cup of oats for a year and logging it as 150 cals. According to the package, 1/2 cup oats weighs 40 grams, when 1/2 in my measuring cup actually weighed over 70 grams. This could apply to any food. Weigh it!

I went through the same thing and it gets better. People can't believe that we struggle to eat 1200 but.. when you're used to eating say.. 1 cup of 500 calorie velveeta shells and cheese and switch to 4-6 oz of lean meat, nuts, 4 cups of lettuce, 2 cups of veggies at ONE meal, it takes up a lot more space in your tummy and…

Wow! That is an amazing loss for such a short time. Congrats on going 'healthy'. I'm proud of you!

I lost 40lbs from Jan to May 2012, just by walking approx. 2.8 miles per day. Since I've started running, I'm not losing much fat anymore. So now I'm running AND walking and I'm seeing a difference after just 2 wks. Lifting should help too.

I think that most of us are smart enough to understand whether a person means loose or lose. It's not that hard. Who cares?

Mine were the same until I started stretching afterwards. I used to just rub them out after a run, and that helped but it didn't keep them from getting sore. Stretch out your quadriceps, your calves and the lower muscle on your calf, that is close to your heel. If you need a link to the usmc stretches, let me know and I'll…

I'm not doing any low carb fad diet, but I do like some prime rib! I can't eat JUST fat though. It makes me ill looking at it, unless it's bacon, glorious bacon! Yumm

Recovered anorexic/bulimic here.....I just appreciate the fact that I am healthy, can do what I want physically and I'm happy. Yes, I care about what I look like, but now that I'm older, I know what is really important. :)

You are awesome and an inspiration for us all. Congratulations! And, you do look like that Mythbusters guy! lol

Why get over it? To me, it's totally worth the the 40 or 60 calories in my sugar-free vanilla creamer!

I'm snowwwww jealous! We are snow-deprived in IL this year. Boooo :( Be careful and stay safe out there. That's a LOT of snow to be lifting.

Be honest with yourself. Weigh your food! My container of oatmeal says that 1/2 cup equals 40 grams. Well, I weighed it and it was over 70 grams, nearly twice the amount of cals I had been logging. Cals add up fast, especially when the numbers aren't accurate. Log EVERYTHING that goes into your mouth. Don't cut out any…

There is nothing wrong with being addicted to something that will make you healthier! Unless you're on here 24/7 like I am. lol

Pony burgers? Yum :/
