My husband's did too! He was only 18 when I met him and he already had some. It's all white now, but because he's a man, he looks 'distinguished'!

ahah :bigsmile:

My fav snack is 1T of almond butter spread on a banana! Yummmmy! I just ordered 6lbs of raw almonds and can't wait to try and make my own. I usually buy Amaranth? Something like that.

Lindor Truffles. That is all. :)

It bothered you so much because you were traumatized from being BEAT as a child. Get help BEFORE you ever have children. Been there. I'll also add that perhaps that child is autistic? You don't know them so please don't be so quick to judge. Did you offer to help him? Perhaps the father NEVER takes the kid out by himself…

Pumpkin pie is awesome without the crust. I use condensed skim milk in place of the full fat condensed and I use 2 eggs and 2 egg whites. We use real cream on top. If you want an even lower calorie recipe, Skinnytaste has one.

My grandson dips cinnamon rolls in ketchup. :sick:

When I was a kid, we didn't have money for food for a while and I ate that for breakfast for months. I guess it didn't taste so bad because I was hungry enough to eat anything. The thought of it gags me now. lol

Why do you even care what other people log. Does it affect your weight loss? No..

Everyday cleaning? No. Major cleaning yes! I also log gardening, mowing, etc. because I don't do that type of work DAILY! YES it counts and yes, I get other exercise in. I lost 40lbs without a gym!

Turning Leaf

2/3 healthy stuff, 1/3 bad stuff. Dessert, in moderation, if I worked out that day. Or I'll have 2 one half cup servings of bad stuff, since I LOVE cheesy potatoes and potato salad, and then whatever else that's healthy. I also NEVER go to a buffet starving. I'll eat a serving of fruit, nuts, anything to make me not as…

You look amazing! Congratulations both on your incredible weight loss, facing your past & learning how to cope with it, moving on, helping others and becoming a happier new person! Thank you for posting and showing others that you can take control of your life, regardless of the past. I'm so proud of you! :flowerforyou:

This!

Maybe I read it wrong but I thought that they were going to go back to an unused school 7 miles away? Great idea though, thanks for posting.

Yes, but mine starts in early fall! I crave baked bread, baked mac n cheese, tater tot casserole.. anything high in carbs and warm. Luckily for me it only lasts a few weeks, then I adjust my diet and make myself eat like I do in the summer with grilled food and tons of veggies. Today, we have a blizzard coming so I'm…

Mine was lagging and sagging, so I had a lift. lol:blushing:

Last year I decided that I wasn't going to be one of those people who would start working out on Jan. 1st then stop after a few weeks, so I started working out on Christmas Eve instead. I haven't stopped yet. :) Maybe some of your noobs are doing just that? Or perhaps they paid for a membership last Jan and want to get…

I'm sorry so many people are being 'snarky' with their responses. I'm sure that your question is more about calories than the fat content? If so, if you make an omelet, use 2 whole eggs and 2 egg whites. You can't really tell the difference. In baking you can use 2 egg whites in place of one whole egg. If you want to add…

Put in some earbuds, walk past the people who cuss at you and go for a walk/run anyway! You're worth the extra effort it takes to be healthy. Sorry, but screw them! big <hugs>

I had to have a motivation bigger than myself to keep going. This past year, I lost 40lbs by walking/running/biking 1,000 miles for St. Judes Children's Research Hospital. I had donors commit to giving me one penny for each mile, for a total of $10.00 per donor. Once the money started coming in, I KNEW I had to keep at it.…

I'm sorry that it bothers you so much. :( I used to be that way until I was a firefighter/emt, then nursing student. I found out what 'real' problems were compared to my 'fears', if you'd call it that. Since then though, I have found out I have high blood pressure, a cyst in my brain, a kidney tumor and a kidney stone. LOL…

My wrist is 5.5 inches, below that knobby bone that sticks out. lol

I tried drinking more fluids and I had the same problem, running to the bathroom all day. The first few weeks of my new lifestyle, I was starving because I was used to eating soooo much food. Between meals, I ended up boiling eggs and just eating the white. It is full of protein, had only 17 cals in one large white, keeps…

When I broke my foot I was able to ride a bike, as long as I had my surgical boot on. The only problem I had was with hills, I couldn't stand up on the bad foot so I pedaled in 1st gear, sometimes with only the good foot and it worked great, although at times I looked like the wind could blow me backwards because I was…

If you're already running, slow down so you're into fat burning mode. If you don't have a HRM, figure out what your heart rate should be for fat burning. I too, have tummy fat that needs to go and running doesn't burn fat as efficiently as walking does! I still want to run though, so I'm just doing it slower, even at…

"What do you want me to say? Congratulations or I'm sorry?" hehe

Only if I can swallow a dozen deep fried crappie fillets afterwards!
