LOL...I'm THAT someone in the crowd? I believe in finding your happiness doing what you love. I'm not going to say a word about anyone else. If I want to walk on the treadmill or run a marathon, what difference does it make? That's all I'm saying. And yes, as we get older, we do have to take it a little easier--at least…

Different people, different goals. I'm sort of confused by the fact that you seem to think it's everyone else's shortcomings that they don't have the same goals and drive as you. I'm further confused by the replies. I certainly don't feel the need to give you an explanation as to why I'm not in the gym six days a week.

Nutella. It starts innocently enough and ends with me eating it straight out the jar until it's gone. :(

Sent you a friend request. Yes, I sound a lot like you. The difference this time is that I'm not trying to lose weight for my looks, but rather my longevity. Differences this time include giving up diet soda and all artificial sweetners (I've actually began adding real sugar to my coffee after many years with a Splenda…

I'm not into vodka....can I just double up on the Twinkies and still lose weight???? Seriously, I love your post.

Texans are not southern, aside from geographically being so. I'm from Texas, so I know. I've lived in Georgia and Mississippi over the past twelve years, so I know the difference. That being said, I've also travelled all over the world (being in the military). Everyone is different, and labeling people doesn't set anyone…

I lost about 20 pounds in 12 weeks at the beginning of the year eating at 1200 cals a day and exercising. It was sort of a biggest loser contest at work. After that I upped my cals and lost the rest of my weight over the next two months eating at about 1400 cals a day and eating back all my exercise calories. I finally…

Maybe...but you'll probably regain it pretty quickly.

Just read it...wow!

Nope.

Well, I would report them, but really...I haven't had anything like that happen and I've been on here quite a while. Hmmm....not sure how I should feel about that. :-P

Well, they are a lot of work, but they are also part of my family. As of about three weeks ago, I have three dogs. One lab/chow mix, one Jack Russell (mutt) and just recently we rescued a 15 year old Chichuahua whose elderly owners could not take care of him anymore. They are all different and wonderful. I have a huge yard…

I wouldn't give so much concern to my diet, but would try to make sure I was taking in enough fluids and resting enough. Curiously, I find that when I am feeling like I'm coming down with something I tend to want high calorie comfort food, I know there is no real food that is going to make me feel better, but…

I'm from South Texas (San Antonio) and don't really have any accent. Currently live in a rural Mississippi community. Just yesterday I got asked if I was from "up north". Nope, Mississippi is the northern-most place I have lived in the states. :)

We have three dogs. Shelby, my Lab Chow mix; Presley, my Jack Russell and who knows what mix, Bo, a 15 year old Chihuahua we just took in. We also have two cats. Hudson, my fat cat and Sofie, my little girl. We also have six chickens, but not sure they count as pets since I can't name them because I can't really tell them…

This is so lame! Seriously? I'm a single mom who works full time with two dogs, two cats, six chickens and three acres. I take care of everything and I only log my workouts. If I don't have a problem with you logging your cleaning efforts, you certainly should not make assumptions as you just did. My answer on this, as…

Well, this is about five pounds from my MFP starting weight of 162. The picture that I really call my "before" pic is a hard copy presented to me at work for an award I received. I will eventually scan it and post with a decent "after" pic as well. Anyway, here goes, hope this works. Before....me in December 2011. Roughly…

I've always been small, so when I gained all the extra weight I hated being bigger up top. Back to being an "A" and very content.

Sugary soda and fried anything.

This happened to me, too! I had it done at a studio, so don't know if it was just a bad piercing or what, but my body actually pushed the ring out. I had never heard of anything like that happening. I'm not left with a horrible scar, but there is one if you really look. Also, the piercing itself took a long time to heal…

I'd go with the machine, too. However, I found that for me, even the machine burn was grossly exaggerated.

Exactly. Thank you!

That's exactly how I started my quote, but I have no earthly idea what you're talking about. Again, to each his own.

I'm not a vegetarian, but I can go meatless for days at a time. I'm just not a big meat and potatoes type person. What really does throw me is the fake processed meat substitutes for vegans/vegetarians. I supposed those are simply for people who choose to go vegan/vegetarian for animal-ethical reasons. I mean, if I want…

Well, I understand the point, but I really don't mind if someone brings something in that's not healthy. I just pass it by...just like I do all the candy bars and pastry that are in our break room "snack bar" every day. We also have monthly pot lucks. I can eat anything, but it doesn't mean I have to eat a lot of it. I…

Of all the ugly words out there, I have never considered "fat" to be one of them. I certainly don't think obese is a better choice.
