Good morning, team! First of all - Anita, Sheila - off yer lazy butts! Otherwise, That'll wake you up and get you movin'! Lisa, are you just getting back from work? If so, I have fluffed the pillow and turned down the douvet. Pretty sure I spelled that wrong. But, that is your fault for having something besides a quilt or…

Dear Dave, I am glad you are not dead. You often annoy me. Sometimes on purpose. But I am still glad you are not dead. You keep it real. The end. That is all. Deal. Kristi P.S. Chop chop

Jamie, what the heck, give it a try. If you feel faint, or have headaches, you are probably not eating enough. Well, traveling pants, hmmm... Since I am nearly as tall as LI4G, I am pretty sure I will have to pass on everyone elses pants. And, NO ONE wants my pants. Unless we made a tent out of them..... :wink: It will be…

Welcome loula! Glad to have you. And paddlemom and Cindy - WOW I love the way you both put those thoughts! It really is so much more than just a diet, isnt' it!

Wow, if this didn't do it, he's dead! :cry: I can usually get a rise out of him. Cuz I'm the cheer leader type. Not a mollycoddler (that really is a fun word, thanks for using it!) but less "pull the rug out from under you" and more "hey, come on here is a better rug to stand on."

Ditto that! Welcome!

Pesky photobucket! Well, someone has to help you eat that cow! Dinner sounds good! What can I bring? Hey, just tried honey flavored fage. HOLY DOUGHNUTS!!! It is so good!

Go Cindy, Go Cindy, Go Cindy!!! And all the rest of us! Great day here, so I am thinking outside is a better place to be than inside behind the computer! Good job team, Check in you lurkers! And, Blaze, all the best, my dear! Everyone have a great day! :flowerforyou:

AJ, what a wonderful poem - thanks for sharing it! It is so true, isn't it. We are quick to celebrate others successes, but seldom see them in ourselves. And, good job on your goals and strength yesterday! Li4g, I saw a receipe for low carb margarita mix and thought of you. :wink: Am wondering whats on the BBQ today, in…

Hello, Caliecat, you asked if I am a diabetic - no, I am not, but was definitely on that road. Hopefully now I can avoid it. I followed the Protein Power Plan some years ago, and other than now, that is the only significant weight loss I've experienced. I have modified the carb-protein-fat ratio on the food diary to more…

Good job, MPJS! Can't wait to see that ticker move! :flowerforyou:

SWEET! And we knew you when! Congrats!

I was running a bunch of errands today and realized I hadn't eaten in quite a while and I was feeling a little weak and faint. And I thought to myself, "Oh, if only I had sum hummus and a couple of Kash crackers to tide me over!"

Bumpin yer thread, Max. I once had a kid in a Sunday School class I taught that crushed smarties up and snorted them up his nose. Idiot.

Don't know if you have a spot, but if not, I'll wait. I've lost a total of 51 lbs, 32 since joining MFP in February.

Caliecat, you may want to get an effective carb counter. I have done Proten Power in the past and the carbs in your veggies only count if they are effective carbs. Fiber is also a carb, but is not digested, so those carbs don't count. So, for example, lately, I've been snacking on lentils. I just take some raw lentils and…

Thanks!! :bigsmile:

Hi, Helen - welcome. If you've been here for more than a few minutes, you will see that Dave and I are seldom on the same page about anything - but his advice and that of others about doing this the old fashioned way is spot on. Even if the Alli helps you jump start your weight loss, you still have to make some life…

Check under Cleaning in the cardio section.

Ok, one last thing. I came accross an old notebook with my measurements and weight at my heaviest back in 2006. I decided I wanted a record of the whole journey, so I posted those numbers in my check in section. I see now that it back dates my ticker, too. So, I don't want to seem like I am cheating or something, but I did…

Here is a little secret about the tape measure. I went to a fabric store and bought an extra long one. Its 120" At my heaviest, my hips measured 71 inches. That's half an inch more than my height. To put it even more in perspective, I am 5 feet 10 and one half inches tall. :embarassed: :cry: I am pleased to report that…

Good morning team - or rather almost good afternoon. Nice to spend a leisurly morning reading your posts while having a leisurly breakfast. adopt4, you being at the grocery store at 6:00 am just makes me tired, so quit it! :laugh: :wink: I am really starting to feel the effects of my weight loss, which is wonderful. I have…

Its a drag when your weight doesn't move on the scale, which is why its a great idea to have a couple of other things to go by, like clothing, or the tape measure. Also, I am copying a section from a post by another mfp member I have mentioned before, SHBoss aka Banks: So, the scale not moving might not be a problem at…

Hey, LI4G - I was sitting here with a glass of chocolate milk when I had this brillaint idea: I shot your cow!

Thats a good question, and i don't really feel qualified to answer you. Remember, you and I have vastly different needs. Sure, we are both 50 year old women, we're both smart, funny, and we make a mean tag team! However, you need to lose (according to your profile) a total of 56 lbs. I, on the other hand need to lose a…

Hi, gang! Just a quick post for me. Gotta exercise. At weigh-in, I last another 1.5 lbs, so thats all good. 4suredistime - have a great vacation!! Post when you can, we'll be sure to hear from you when you get back. reedwoman, I agree with southernbelle - either nothing at the pc, or ay gotta measure out your snack and…
