Awesome job! Keep going!!

I would say this only works till you get to a certain.... *cough* age.... lol

I freakin' HATE people who smack their lips or chew with their mouth open. Oh, now you're looking at me & wondering why I'm gaging? Yeah... it's cuz of you. I promise.

Did you check your measurements when you started?

I have a couple of questions regarding the email from the personal trainer: So... like the OP, I'm ALL legs. Each of my legs is nearly the same number of inches around as my WAIST. I'm really QUITE bottom-heavy. I've been walking on a HARD incline at the gym for an hour for the past few weeks. By walking, I mean like...…

Thanks everyone! I couldn't help but sit here & bawl my eyes out reading all of your comments. Why is it so hard to just be happy? Why does everything have to be so difficult?

Hey... you're still here. To quote a running mantra that my friend invented? "One More Fence Post". That's it... that's all. One at a time. Focus on one thing, move on. And yes... I know I need to be looking in the mirror when I say that. I'm working on it.

So unbelievably disgusting. Found another article that shows a guy being wheeled out of the place into an ambulance! People CHEERED, they thought it was a publicity stunt! Wow.

I kinda wanted to gag myself when I watched the video. I couldn't BELIEVE people would eat burgers with buns coated in lard! So gross!

Oh... good luck to you. MY potential future Mother-In-Law is a religious NUT. You can't even say "dam" in that house if you stub your toe! "Dam" for me? Yeah... that's WATCHING my language!

PRICELESS. :drinker:

Being in therapy isn't a bad thing. Paying someone to listen to your crap? That's not bad either. Spewing your crap on your family & friends who aren't trained to listen, help, & cope with what you've told them? THAT is a terrible idea. Never think that going to therapy is wrong. Don't think that medications are wrong…

Cucumber slices. Or Celery. I can munch on near-zero-calorie snacks ALL DAY & it won't hurt my success. I feel like I'm snacking... but they're essentially no calories. And I like them too :) When I get sick of celery every day, I swap out for cucumber, & in a week or so I switch back.

AWESOME idea for any woman (and some men too!) young/old, works REMARKABLY well for Mother's Day, Grandmothers, Baby Showers, death in the family... Believe it or not.... it's HOUSE CLEANINGS. Get a quote for what it would cost for someone to go in & clean her house/apartment. Then get her a gift certificate. If it's SUPER…

I've never had a huge weight loss. I've only lost 20lbs. BUT I do get told CONSTANTLY that there's no way in hell that I weigh 155lbs. People guess me ALL THE TIME at 145-ish. Hey, I'm not complaining, I'll take it... But at the same time? I used to be 145-ish pounds & FULLY a size 9. All my size 9 clothes fit perfectly.…

He's probably not going to get on board. He has to do it for him, & you nagging him to eat well isn't going to do good things for your relationship. Cook what YOU want to eat for dinner. Feed it to him too. If he complains, tell him he can cook his own meals if he wants to eat that way. He'll either a) eat healthy but only…

SW: 175 CW: 154 GW: 135 9/1 - 154 9/8 - 9/15 - 9/22 - 9/31 - We shall see... I started the month with a camping trip... so I didn't eat my best!

Miles & MILES of CELLULITE!!! GAAAAAAAH!!! The white stretch marks? Yep... those too. They're kind of silvery & shiney... but I don't want to go through that whole chemical peel thing to make them go away. But I cover up, so no one sees... & everyone thinks I'm nuts for saying "NO REALLY.... THEY'RE THERE...."

It always makes me crazy to see people post this kind of thing. 1) CLEARLY you don't have issues eating enough calories or you wouldn't have gained weight that you need to lose, & CLEARLY you wouldn't be on MFP, complaining that you can't eat enough calories. 2) If you've just started losing & moved from drinking fizzy…

Just because someone's an adult doesn't mean they know how to use their brain. Personally, I hope she's just a troll, being ignorant and stupid for her own entertainment purposes & doesn't REALLY believe in what she's spewing. If she does, it's just a classic example of what's wrong with western civilization. We don't beat…

I think it's purple & eats flying people. At least... I've never seen a flying purple people eater eat a purple person, so I'm going with what I have here. But flying people does make sense... I mean... we have jets, cargo planes, helecopters, hang gliders... if he was purple & ate flying people, he wouldn't starve in…

Speaking as a Banker, I wonder if my own white, Western Culture is getting it wrong. I see bank accounts from all different races... I see financial statements, and I build financial plans. And as a white female, I find that white people make BY FAR more mistakes than any other culture. I see Asians... mostly from India,…

It shouldn't matter if someone's black, white, yellow, red, or purple. Ok... maybe we draw the line at purple people. Unless they're choking. Then you should probably help them out.

But see... that's part of what worries me. I have suffered low blood pressure my entire life. Checked it last week? 107/65. Resting Pulse: 60. That's like... SUPER low, so I've heard. But it'll drop? I've heard a woman's max heart rate should be 226-age. That, for me: 197lbs. So that means... at 180bpm I'm at 91.3% of my…

I did the same program. I ran at 5.8 on the treadmill. Then I was planning to do the Bridge to 10k... & a friend told me to just drop my speed & RUN for 60 minutes. Which I did. I slowed my speed to 5.0, & just DID it one day. That was kind of IT. I'm pretty proud about that. But at the same time, I don't have the speed…

Ok... so the way it works is to ADD things to it? I throw mine into Almond Milk with a scoop of frozen berries, or 1% white milk with a teaspoon of Jell-O Fat Free Pudding Mix to give it a little milkshake taste if I wanna feel like a bad girl. I find it easier to take because it doesn't taste like disgustingness, sort of…

I think it's ok to LOVE your kids, but not like how inconvenient they are at times. I can see that. But... their ages... are they in school where you are (you said 5 & 3 when you started, how old are they now?) because if they're out learning to play soccer or running around a playground with kids their own age while you…

Clearly, you don't have problems eating enough calories, or you wouldn't have gained weight to start with. We ALL have a tendency to overeat, that's why we're here. What you need to do on days that you're low on calories is add a salad to your meals because the dressing will get you extra calories, & help keep you feeling…

They want all the old ladies to go back to bikinis at 61 then? That doesn't sound right....

I'm 5'8 & 155lbs. I'm a solid size 9 jean... but a 7 dress pant? Makes no sense to me...
