Thank you. I thought I had opened it. Let me go try again. And I haven't measured lately, but the last round of no loss on the scale was also a no loss in inches. Let me go see if I can get that diary opened up

Hair is just a teeny bit too short for me to pull this one off. Looks VERY pretty though!

Which results? The sock bun "Fail" or the braid? :laugh: I forgot to take a picture of the braid. I will have to do it again after the gym tomorrow.

156.4 I have GOT to figure out what REALLY works for me. Apparently "Just Cardio" as the exercise isn't the answer either. Good thing my new weights class starts tomorrow. Hopefully THAT will show some flippin results for this round! :grumble:

Not sure about your husband, but I got mine to the gym by challenging him. "I can lose faster", "I can run farther" ,"bike harder", "Let's have a race", etc. It works for me because he is competitive.

Works for me Rach! See you next week! :drinker:

My car doesn't really have a name. Usually we just call it "The Car" or "Mommy's car" The Coffee pot on the other hand... We call him "Pedro" :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I very finely chop veggies or puree or shred and add them to all kinds of dishes (like soups and casseroles) then declare them "spices" when the kids ask...same goes for Hubby, but he's working on thinking about liking them a little more. I only do this because I do ALL the cooking and I am NOT eating crap (except on my…

Not really. I've always wanted to be what my goal is. Trim and muscled. I was always able to pull off Skinny-fat, but I never wanted to BE that. After making it to fat-fat and realizing there was a problem and I just wasn't making it on my own, I signed up for MFP and I am so very VERY glad that I did. MFP has shown me how…

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Thanks for the tip!

"It's a Great Day to be Alive" by Travis Tritt I got rice cooking in the microwave Got a three day beard I don't plan to shave And it's a goofy thing but I just gotta say Hey I'm doing alright Yeah I think I'll make me some homemade soup Feelin pretty good and that's the truth It's neither drink nor drug induced No I'm…

Something I might ACTUALLY be able to pull off doing!! So trying that tomorrow when the sock buns give me another "FAIL" :laugh:

I trying so hard to stay on track. I haven't seen NEARLY the results I'd like to this round. PLEASE tell me we're going to be doing this again?!

I really wish I did sweetie, but I am stuck in the same boat. Stats in height, weight et. all match exactly (except for the diet pop. I hate diet and I only have a soda MAYBE once a month? Depends if I mow the yard or not. I love my freezing cold root beer after kicking the lawns butt :laugh:) . It's so horribly…

My point exactly. And let's not forget ho-ho's, ding dongs, honey buns, toaster waffles, those little fried hashbrown dealies like what you can get at McDonalds (But it's "healthier" because she makes them at home in a frickin VAT of crisco).... I can NOT live off that stuff. Trust me. I tried. I lived with her for 6…

My sister in law once went on a rant about how I should become a vegan and I'd lose the weight. Though, I'm not sure she has any room to talk considering she has GAINED almost 50 pounds since she became a "vegan" and I have lost almost that much in a year..... and I just don't think I could live on Twinkies and ice cream…

My gym has a "coffee bar" and they have tons of coffee's and teas, as well as smoothies, "fresh" fruit, and baked goods. The baked things are like carrot cake, gigantic cookies, bran muffins, etc. Only their bake goods are HUGE! I'd never buy one. I always stick to the fruit.

Nope. Going to have to hit up some google because I have no idea what those are either :laugh: And I would TOTALLY rock a poof ball, just for a change of pace

All of you are so inspiring!! I LOVE the confidence running around this thread, so here is my contribution. I haven't bothered to locate my bikini yet this year (we've only had one day over 70 so far! ICK!), so you get this "goofing around the house" outfit instead. Blurry, hopefully sized right, but you get the idea.…

Want to trade? :laugh: I can't do a single thing with it. When I wash it (I never blow dry or put any kind of heat on it. Just kind of squeeze it a bit with a towel) it can take up to 3 hours to dry fully!! :noway: I have tried braiding it and leaving it in braids for up to 3 days. Within 1hour of removing the braids... It…

Ok. I'm SO not a dude, been doing this since July of 2011 and on MFP since January 2012, BUT I know exactly what you're talking about. I call it the yo-yo. Here's what happens to me: Calorie goal- meet it as close to perfect as possible. Don't lose a single ounce for 4-5 weeks. Yes- I know this for a fact because I weigh…

Honey, I rocked a bikini @ 9months pregnant. "Bikini Ready" is all a state of mind in my opinion. :wink: Here I am rocking it @ 6months along :drinker: And currently, I'd prefer to wear a one piece, simply for the fact that I want to swim HARD and that silly bikini never stays on properly for that. :laugh: Darnit. Not sure…

Hello and welcome Adam :drinker:

I go alone right now, but that's only because my husband is overseas. Once he gets home I'll have my gym buddy back! :drinker:

I've got 1a. I make the walls cry with jealousy. :laugh:

There's also a Tall Women group. lots of friendly ladies and support there too :wink:

The first was 13 days before my 18th birthday. Second was 6months after my 21st birthday. Third was 5 days after my 28th birthday. From that lovely spread, I HIGHLY recommend waiting. :laugh:

I love it when my husband makes me breakfast (in bed or just in general). Either way he knows it's his lucky day when he does the cooking. :wink: :love: :smokin:

I feel you on the "Life is crazy" right now Rach :flowerforyou: This morning has me back at 157 thanks to a salt loaded weekend. :sad: Hopefully the news is much better next week. *** Oh, and thanks for the next round in advance :wink: I LOVE your charts!!! :drinker: ***

Drat. Of course it only works with items I don't own. :laugh: :grumble: :explode:
