Thank you so much for posting this - I've never heard of this family, but the race was very emotional... I'm subscribed now. ;)

I don't see the pics - you'll have to get the HTML for the location the pic is in (I think). Doesn't Photobucket have a spot on the page with your pic that gives you the image source? I've never posted pics in the forum, so I'm kinda lost too! I rely on the smartypants people to do it - haha!

Last July (2010), I was scrolling through some Facebook pics that the neighbor was tagged in. We had had a big bash for the 4th on our street and people were snapping pics left and right. In this one picture of a kid, I completely dominated the right side of the photo with my side FULL BODY profile. I was so disgusted with…

My first running 5k was in the middle of August this year. I actually ran the whole thing and ended with a time of 37:42 I think. I know it was 37:something. Just recently, I ran 5.1 miles (twice in one week!) and kind of amazed myself since I swore I would NEVER run anywhere unless there was a serial killer after me. I…

I use RunKeeper also combined with a HRM to figure out calories burned. Endomondo is good too. My hubs had the Nike+ and it was a pain to calibrate his stride, so he never thought it was accurate for him.

Congratulations! What an amazing accomplishment (and adventure!)!

Not sure if I helped the pics or not, but congratulations on your loss!! :)

Shoot...I EARNED this smaller size! I consider new pants/shirts/etc a reward for my hard work. While I realize it can get expensive, I NEVER pay full price for clothes, no matter what. Old Navy has great stuff on their clearance racks, but I'm learning that MACY's has an incredible clearance rack that is usually an extra…

Apron - haha - now I've never heard it referred to as an apron. That's cracking me up. I have worse words for it, but apron sure describes it well. I just assume that since I can never afford plastic surgery, my apron will shrink over lots of time, but never fully go away. Just the reminder of the person I once was...

Congratulations! I'm approaching that number myself and can't wait to get there (well, I've still got 31 to go)... You must feel so awesome! What a fabulous commitment and gift to yourself...

Katy - you are SO AWESOME! You have done such a great job and I'm so proud of you! I'm excited to have shared part of this journey with you as your MFP friend! (I love your little dude's diaper butt too!) Keep up the good work, honey!

I had no idea you could set the pictures to that; where no one else can see the pics you've been tagged in. Even losing 64 pounds, I'm still untagging myself from pictures. For me too, a picture on Facebook prompted this journey. I was browsing through a friend of a friend's pictures and I saw a picture of this woman's…

Congrats to you!! I'm hoping to run a full 5k by the end of the summer. I did a 5k this weekend - my first one that involved running. I would say I ran about 75% of it and I finished in 39:22. I'm hoping to beat that time next time... So, I'm not trying to toot my own horn here, but what I'm saying is I understand your…

I have large breasts too and I got a bra by Freya. I think you can get them online at barenecessities.com or through the UK at (I can't remember the name of the website!) but it's for larger chest sizes. Totally worth every penny. I have size 38 I (yes, that's the letter I (eye)) boobies and this bra contains them. I also…

I know sometimes I don't take the time to log things that are green, like lettuce, broccoli, zucchini and other veggies. I know they're low, but do have calories. If I bust the calorie bank eating veggies, then hurrah for me!

This was a question that I mulled over too when I first started here on MFP. I decided to lose some weight before I even attempted jogging because I could already feel that my knees were protesting the walks I was doing. After losing 50 pounds, I decided to revisit my decision to do C25K. I am finally doing a program that…

While I hear your frustrations (mine are semi-similar), I'm impressed with your husband that he: 1. Thought about you 2. Took the time to purchase something for you 3. Took the time to bring said purchase to you This has never happened to me in my 17 years of marriage! :) Lucky girl!

Absolutely amazing! Jasmine is a beauty - and she sucks fat off your *kitten*? You're one lucky guy. Congrats on your successes...

Usually real sugar and ALWAYS real butter. Sometimes I put Splenda in my coffee, but I am trying to steer myself away from that...

Good for you! That's such a cool goal! I just realized I am 4 pounds away from my driver's license weight! WOW!

A box of Girl Scout Samoas An entire recipe/pan of Rice Krispie Treats (homemade) A large bag of Peanut M&Ms A full bag of Ruffles Sour Cream and Cheddar chips A full bag of Chili Cheese Fritos Homemade quick nachos (half a bag of nacho cheese doritos and half a brick of shredded cheese). Sometimes I wish I could just…

I just looked up banana nutrition info this evening and figured out that a banana is roughly 25 calories per ounce...

Look at you! Tucking your shirts in, even! Congratulations on your successes (including your anniversary)! Have fun at the beach!

You're looking so happy! Great job!

I can relate to what you're saying...that others have been aware of my weight - for them to notice it's different is kind of shameful. While it doesn't send me into a binge, it's a little embarrassing. I do agree though, it takes courage from other people to acknowledge your loss. They may have noticed earlier but not said…

I measure hips + girl flap...that way I know if the flap is shrinking too. It's not like I button my jeans under the flap, so I just include that with my measurements. Good luck! :)

What a crappy wake-up call! Sepsis is some nasty stuff - darn microbes! Best of luck with your journey - glad you're here to join us in our journeys too! Megan

I don't think one day will hurt you... I wouldn't recommend doing it consistently though. There's lots of topics on the subject here in the forum, you may want to do a search for it? It's really confusing, I know. I've been here for 6 months and I'm still trying to get a handle on it! Good luck to you! :)

YES - This one is one of my favs, along with the meatloaf and mashed red potatoes...

Hi there... I had my gall bladder removed about 9 years ago and I'll let you know what I've experienced since then... I can drink alcohol, although I've never been a heavy drinker - I drink 1 to 2 times every 3 months or so. However, my body's ability to digest high sugar or high fat meals has been greatly diminished. If I…
