Have not been on here for a while. Did not see this. Thank you for the compliment. :0)

My father in law has celiac and we lived with them for 6 months after we sold our house and before we found our apartment. Basically she was on a gluten free diet for 6 months and still had the same symptoms the entire time with no change. My husband tested negative for it when he was tested.

Ha ha ha... Sleep. lol. Seriously I have insomnia that gets bad with stress. I was taking 5 classes in college last semester and working 60+ hours a week and this semester I have cut back to 2 classes and now I am still working 2 jobs but only 30 or less hours a week. Exercise may not be the entire answer but it is a great…

Thanks everyone. I have to get back on track. Was almost to 40 lbs and $@#%... I am disappointed in myself mostly. My kids need a good role model and not sticking with my goal and keeping healthy is not being a good role model. I am, however, only human. So, time for this chick to get back on the wagon and back to my goal.

You look fantastic! Way to go! Love the new you.

I definately would say that is a plus though. Too many long term, irreversable back problems associated with larger breast size. I have lost 37 lbs so far and am still a D but I went from a 38D to a 36D so no change in the cup size.

Wanted to post something a few days ago. My phone was not letting me... Anyway you look amazing! Great job. You are an inspiration to the rest of us!

Why are we all so afraid to post that we had sex? Be loud and be proud! :smooched: :love:

YUM!

You are very right.

I weigh myself 3 times a week. Moday to see if I did any damage over the weekend, Wednesday just for curiosity and Friday to see if I have accomplished anything. I only update my weight when there is a change that lasts more than a week. Being a female our weight fluctuates so much its rediculous! lol.

I completely agree. I work in Human Services and sometimes see the worst kinds of bullying. I work with children who have Autism and DS and Chromosomal disorders and what I see other people say about them disgusts me. The pain it causes the ones who can understand what is going on around them to that level is tragic and…

I am the same person online as I am in RL for the most part. I sometimes seem like I am handling stress much better than I really am but that is just who I am. I have no reason to hide behind BS. Life is much too busy and demanding for me to make up another personality. lol. I love to joke around and have fun. Too much…

I keep myself at or near 1000 calories a day. I had been eating too little for years and was unable to lose weight cuz my body was in starvation mode. Now I am on track to my goal. A slow pace of weightloss that is steady and positive. I not only count the calories but make sure that the calories I eat are, in general,…

oh no. well... fruit is a no no then. fish is high in great calories. Nuts are super. I have to stay away from them cuz I over do it right away.

I also only try to eat my recommended calories for the day. I do not figure in the calories burned. If I did that I would never lose weight. Make sure that the calories you are eating are not all carbs. Get your protein. Drink a protein drink or a smoothie

Damn right! 30 is not only the new 20 but it is a way better 20!

Great to meet you. I am also renewing my vows this May. Must be the year for it. This site is great. A perfect motivator!. Good luck. Friend me if you like

Schnecksville, Pennsylvania... Had snow for Thanksgiving and was out without a coat on New Years Eve at 1am. Yesterday it was almost 50 and today it is about 32. Roller coaster weather.

Well, I am in a semi loose fitting size 12 now. I am up to 32.5 lbs lost! I have over a month to go before Christmas so I need to see if I can lose another 6-8 lbs. before I go get a dress.

Thanks everyone. It is so great to have this wonderful support system! <3

i would love a chat room. It will eventually hppen on here i am sure. I will have to look up that link. :o)

Fantastic job! This site is a great way to stay motivated!

I have always had a very level head and made rational, well thought out decisions... Except for when it comes to my hair. I didnt see your age but i figure you are old enough to work and earn the money to pay for the hair color and style you want. Its more important that you like it and have confidance in your decisions…

Great to have you on board!!! Welcome to MFP! Such a great site! I just sent you a friend request. Best wishes. :0)

I am in the process of restarting mine too. The body gets used to any routine and adjusts so you have to adjust with it. Hang in there.

i tend to log mine as calisthenics. Pushups... Sit ups... Crunches... And ............ :) i also do actual sit ups and pushups and crunches on a daily basis.

Super awesom ideas. Thank you all. Keep em coming though. I have not had to shop for something positive in nature in a long time and I hated shopping before since it seemed I could never fit into the nice stuff. I finally can start to enjoy shopping.
