It won't be the last time, that's just the nature of the beast. We have bad days, we make excuses and bad decisions about what we eat or why we don't exercise because of those bad days - it happens. The important thing is to learn from it so that it happens less and less, keep going forward and don't beat yourself up for…

It's a house. Whatever happened there didn't happen to you, why make an issue of it? If it's a safe neighbourhood and a sound home, then any other issues you have with it are just that... your issues.

Yup... living in Fredericton! :-)

I'm on Effexor and, though I have heard bad things about it, they are working miracles for my anxiety. As for the eating disorder, I find that once my anxiety was under control, everything else just seemed to fall into place as well. Everyone is different and react differently to medications, so you may have to try a few…

To be honest, weight is a number and as long as I'm healthy and happy, that number shouldn't dictate what I do/don't do. Every body is different (different shape, age, health concerns, frame, etc.) so one person's 150 may not be the same as another person's 150. Do what you feel is best for you, be individual in all…

I would think (and this is just my opinion as everyone is different), that because we've been reliant upon MFP for keeping track of calories, workouts, etc., that it will take time to ease out of that daily accountability. I would say log every second day and when you're comfortable skipping a day, log every third day…

Whiny, "me me me", unhealthy attitude towards food/exercise, etc., friend collectors who don't interact with you, nothing in common... those are usually the main reasons for me to un-friend someone or don't accept friend requests. It's easier to keep the friends list to a minimum, that way I can give my time and attention…

that's awful!! I hope they get caught or someone's dog takes a bit out of their butts!!

Yummmm!

yep, recipe builder :) I know it can be tedious but it's the only way to be accurate, really

hehe... I second this ^^ :o)

there's now drool on my keyboard ;)

two thumbs up :drinker:

bump! looks awesome :)

You both look fantastic! Way to go!!

Very well said :) Everyone's a critic and thinks their lifestyle is the only lifestyle. It's frustrating when we're all trying to find our own path to weight loss/health and we're bombarded with "advice" about it, even scolded like little children! Good for you for standing up for yourself, you've made the right decision.…

bump! just discovering how to use my crock pot and I'm loving it so far :)

1. Eat... good, balanced meals - and lots of it, don't starve! Learn what a portion is (weigh/measure), eat as little unprocessed food as you can manage - whole foods are much better source of fuel for your body than processed! Think of your body as a car - you want your car to run smoothly so you give it the best gas you…

This. Can't spot reduce (otherwise I'd lose the belly and keep the boobs!). It might be the last place to lose, but it will go once you lose body fat all over.

^^ my thoughts exactly! Well done to you for your determination and perseverance, what you're doing is no small feat and you should be proud! Small-minded people like that should be ignored - you know who the bigger/better man is :)

bahahahahahahaahaaaa!

When the boogeyman goes to bed at night, he checks under his bed for Chuck Norris Chuck Norris can unscramble an egg. Superman owns a pair of Chuck Norris pajamas. Chuck Norris can make a Slinky go up the stairs.

^^^^ this! It's the little things that make a big impact, not the showy displays or gifts. Every morning before my husband leaves for work, he comes and gives me a kiss, even if it's 5 am and I'm sleepy. Means more to me than you can imagine. He also once commented that he appreciates my generosity - what I do for others,…

Our stats are similar (same height, I'm a little heavier), and seeing your success story really is inspiring me to keep on going :) You look stunning, thanks so much for sharing. Well done!!

bump... gonna try this with Coconut Dream!

"actually..." (said in a snotty way) when they're correcting you, like what they're about to say is superior to what you've just said... "just saying..." (loathe that one) "just so you know... " (not a favorite either)

I think it's kind of shallow to judge a person by his height (my ex was 6'4" and a total *kitten*)... my hubby is 5'6" (I'm 5'7") and there ain't nothing wrong with that :) height doesn't define a person, great people come in all shapes and sizes! I get that men are wired to appreciate healthy "child bearing" women and…

younger... I'm 41 and I get anywhere from 32 to 35... no complaints here :D

Brighton Rock Haywire Glass Tiger (^^back in the '80's when I was a teenager) The Tea Party Jann Arden Bryan Adams Nine Inch Nails Aerosmith U2 (<-- the best concert I'd ever been to, b.t.w., last summer in Moncton NB, outdoor concert) ... I'm sure there's a few that have slipped my mind but those are the ones I remember

I've worn it front, backwards and side - just to see if it would work cuz I'm weird like that lol - and got readings each time. It might be different for different HRM's; mine's a relatively "cheap" model though and it seems fine. And although I only tried it once in the alternative positions, I generally put it on with…
