and Muscodine wine. Is there anything better on a hot summer night sitting on the porch watching the kids chase lighting bugs sipping home made Muscodine wine?

Mississippi. Lots of Louisiana people in my family and deep back water Mississippi country folks that grew their own food and spent weeks canning everything. If we didn't grow it, chances were our neighbors did or other kinfolks did and we traded canned goods back and forth like some people traded baseball cards.…

American. Specifically Southern American. Did a tour in the Navy, spent 7 months living in Japan. What I missed most there was Watermelon. I finally found one in Tokyo and it cost about $15 !!! I bought it anyway. It was tiny, nothing like the sweet ones we grew in the backyard growing up. Never saw a pumpkin either. Ok…

I upped mine to 1510 for 4 months. Gained 7 pounds. They did not go away. I have went back to what worked before, now I am down after several weeks 5 of the 7 pounds. Still have 2 more to get off. If after the "stabilizing period of 4 weeks" you still are up and it's climbing reasses what you are doing, you may not be one…

Congrats on your body. I could only dream mine had done that. Before pregnancy at age 21, delivered my 9 pound daughter at age 22, I was in the US Navy and weighed 142 pounds at 5'7" tall. During the pregnancy I had bad edema (swelling issues) Coupled with severe morning sickness. I dehydrated twice in the first 3 months…

strange side note. Since I have for the last week gotten back to 1200 or a bit less in calories, my skin has stopped breaking out. My stomach has started losing puffiness again. My hair is not dry anymore and the natural moisture has returned I am also sleeping better. Even better 2 of the 7 pounds gained on that disaster…

eat more to lose wieght! hahahahahahahah

I can add, and subtract, multiply and divide. My "TDEE" is actually 1510, 20% less of that is 1208. not 1207, not 1209. 1208. Not bitter. Just sick of people telling me what should work. glad it did for you. As of now I have lost well over 40 pounds, closer to fifty. When you have been here just a wee bit longer than 2…

Which still means I wasted 6 months of time failing at weight loss. That 1510 minus the 20% is 1208. Which according to everything that the eat more folks preach is going to starve me to death. do untold damage to my body. Now account for the scale inaccuracy, becaue I am not going to personally spend 3 grand on an…

The road map thing that people around here love to push as gospel and follow it, follow it, follow it or die by starvation! gave me that number as did Helloitsdan via PMs. I followed it, gained weight. But ya know what you are so determined to be right when you don't know me, my lifestyle, stress level or jack diddly about…

GAINING 7 pounds is failure. My actual TDEE worked out to 2300 a day in calories minus the 20% crap following the links set forth in the road map post. No I do not lose at 1400, nor at 1300. You forget even with a food scale there is still the margin of error all scales except calibrated yearly analytical balance scales…

I walk in my job about 5 miles minimum a day. In theory I get plenty of excersize. I do not have a desk job. I tried the in place of a road map thing. I tried it religiously for 3 months. I GAINED 7 pounds. I am done listening to other people's "eat more crap" Those 7 pounds took me 3 months to lose the first time and I am…

Blue pants, Blue shirt. Mechanics blues with my name on one side, company on the other. But that doesn't truly sum up this uniform. The pants are butt ugly, "susan fit" according to Cintas. Now I'm not sure who susan is, but I know one thing they should not have used her to model pants for the rest of the women in the work…

I actually tried it, or attempted to try it. Made it 3 weeks. I can safely say that prediction is a damn lie.

yes. cake, vodka, waffle house, steak, more cake, and more vodka and yet more cake were involved in my birthday celebrations. no regrets either. Happy Birthday to you

thank you.

nutella and graham crackers cheese and croutons and chicken lunchmeat yogurt and strawberries those are my go to snacks, one of the above is an everyday occurence.

I used to make "mac N Cheese" using only the powdered packet of cheese from Kraft over squash for my kids. They seriously thought for numerous years that squash was the noodles. My youngest was about 6 when she figured out the deception. A friend she went to playdate with had scooby doo shape noodles from kraft and she…

You are there. in the range you fluctuate, if you were to track it daily for months, you are in maintenance now. Congrats to you.

I just thought since the negatives of my state are known by all, natives to Mississippi and non natives, that a few of our positives should be mentioned. While we are the fattest state and poorest, we also outrank every other state in the union in terms of charity and our generousity. Mississippi's people give a lot to…

I live in Mississippi. That right there should tell you everything you need to know about if it is normal or not. I see more obese people using the scooter carts at the grocery store than truly in need handicapped people. I'm starting to be an oddball again. I fit into normal sized clothes, I freeze everywhere, even in the…

felt as if I got sucker punched in the stomach by really bad news, kept my cool and didn't break down when my husband needed me. I went to the gym and I ate. This week we start discussing with my second Mom her wishes for her funeral, since the cancer is back and time is running out. Docs, say she will be gone before…

completely self centered and excessively vain reason. I am now at 38 a goth woman, I was a goth before it was ever cool 20+ years ago. Goth clothes only look good to a certain weight and body build size. I possess that build when I am sized smaller and hellishly expensive clothes I want to wear again. Besides, have you…

for a while mine was a sushi place that is local to us, then it swapped over to a shoe store ad, currently it is jewlery. I think it follows your searches on the net.

I can and probably will end up buying boobs. skinny I can't buy.

I know the week you speak of. I live it, and will most likely be living it for a long time to come. My day starts at 0400. I leave for work at 0445. I finally make it to work at 0630. Eat breakfast at work, begin work. Have lunch at 1100. Off work from job 1 at 1530. Make it to the gym about 1625, work out for about an…

today is the first birthday I have had on this new lifestyle. I am having my cake. Last night I had alcohol. Tomorrow there will be no more cake, no more excessive alcohol consumption. And back to the gym. It is what it is, and I have enjoyed it.

I went from Halloween until roughly December 24th with no change. No scale movement at all. During the holidays I worked, so extra party type food and get togethers with calorie bomb comfort food did not happen. It is very frustrating. Since Christmas I have went from 175 to 168. I upped my calories slightly. Added a lot…

sometimes when you start a new exercise program your body will retain fluid, making it appear as if you gained weight. In all reality you have not gained weight, it is just the body holding on to fluid to cushion your muscles and try to repair damage or unaccustomed strain. drink your water, avoid salt like it carries…
