^^^^^ THIS!!!!!!! Also amazing, though, since I retired from the Navy!

I was attracted to my wife the day I set my eyes on her, and have ALWAYS found her sexy and hot. She has lost 65 lbs, and I still find her sexy and hot. Sexy and hotness are states of mind. The nice thing, however, is that as she loses weight, SHE is finally starting to believe that she is sexy and hot. Bottom line - your…

Well, Jesus isn't dead either. He died, was resurrected, and then ascended to heaven where He sits at God's right hand... so , even technically, he's not dead ... cause he didn't die again... Not sure who I'd invite ... maybe: Francis Julius LeMoyne - my Great Great Uncle who brought cremation to the US. I'd like to find…

I'm not home yet - Building 429

You are about where I was when I started (@ 5'9", 235+lbs). Quite honestly, no one can make you want to care, except YOU. like others have said, find external reasons for caring ... perhaps use the goal of having kids as motivation/inspiration. For me, it was a combination of things, but the main ones are: 1. Me being a…

The police report should be a matter of public record. Get a copy of the original report and see if you can get any relevant transcripts from your credit reports from the associated time period. You also need to have the owner of the gym provide PROOF (a SIGNED BY YOU) membership form from the time back then also. Explain…

Field service technician in the mailing equipment industry. I often have LOTS of windshield time, so I tend to pack my lunches. I make sure I take lots of things to munch on. I USED to be a McDonald's junkie, eating there (double quarter pounder meal with a coke) three or more times a week. (and I wonder how I got to 235+#…

For me, it was a combination of depression AND body image.

Hmmm ... kind of a tossup, but I'll pick... Boston, Van Halen, and Black Sabbath at Anaheim Stadium in 1978. A close second was The Charlie Daniels Band, The Eurythmics, and Spinal Tap, during Seattle's Bumbershoot, 1984

Depending on the circumstances and/or time of day, and/or day of week: Prayer and meditation music - Christian Contemporary - I usually have alot of drive time during the workday (field service) , so I usually have lots of listening time. That's good, because it helps me keep balanced and focused. Reading the message…

If she is as good a friend as you believe her to be, perhaps you should explain your position and anxieties to her. Given the friendship, I would expect that she would be considerate of your determination to change your life. Let her know that you are concerned about relapse, and therefore, until you get a good handle on…

I like a mix of Kroger brand Tropical Trail Mix and the Golden Temple Blueberry Flax Granola ... answers my sweet tooth. But I also like just plain red seedless grapes, or fresh strawberries. with both, no freezing necessary ... how simple is that????

August 2006. I was 235+ and almost 48 yrs old. I am now 158.5!

Good Morning - Mandisa - all calls

Well, wouldn't that count as exercise?

Baked Salmon topped with carmelized onions, and macaroni.

While I'm no protein bar guru, I like my Zone bars ... the double dark chocolate, dark chocolate almond, dark chocolate strawberry, and cookie dough are all my favorites.

What she said ... Also, bear in mind, that if your scale wasn't calibrated before you weighed in previously, then it was likely in the same condition when you weighed in most recently. All in all, a loss is a loss. Good job and keep going!

A person can fail many times, but he's never a quitter unless he stops trying. two of my favorites: It's not a stumbling block, it's just a stepping stone. Many people are afraid of opportunity because it comes dressed in overalls and looks like work.

I have lost all of my 75+ lbs by eating better and only walking as exercise. In 2006, I was 235+. I am now 159, and have been on maintenance for about a month. I hope this helps and provides the inspiration you need. The walking I do is NOT treadmill walking ... it's walking the dog ... We have two large Airedales that…

^^^THIS!!!! Probably the most important realization that could possibly have come from your past three days, and it's wonderful that you picked up on it!! What we sometimes think of as 'freedom' is actually bondage. Through this one last binge, you found out that the past is not as free as you once thought it was, and now…

Yay! Now to your question ... I don't log my coffee.I DO try to log everything else. I also,however,think my lifestyle is a little more active than what I stated in my profile, which MAY be good for weight loss, but it makes maintenance mode a bit of a pain.

I like my Zone chocolate chip cookie dough protein bars ... they DO taste like cookie dough, and I am a cookie dough conniseur! (more like common sewer... I'll eat anything cookie dough!)

Good upbeat songs: God's Not Dead - Newsboys Jesus Freak - Newsboys Move - Mercy Me Save Your Life - Newsboys Strong Enough to Save - Tenth Avenue North All the Pretty Things - Tenth Avenue North You are More - Tenth Avenue North Stronger - Mandisa What if We Were Real - Mandisa Good Morning - Mandisa These Days - Mandisa…

For the record, there are 28 grams in an ounce. So, 1 gram is 1/28'th of an ounce. Typical serving portions are 28, 100, 150, which would roughly be 1, 4, and 6 ounces respectively. Hope this helps.

Last album I listened to was Tenth Avenue North "The Light Meets the Dark", yesterday evening.

It does! True love, perfect love, does exist. I have been married and divorced. I have married for wrong reasons, and after my last divorce, swore off women entirely. An earlier response mentioned that the poster swore off relationships and began a rocky, winding road journey of self-acceptance. While I wish I had done…

I don't know if I'd be good for you as a support, but I do have one piece of advice: While it is admirable to want to lower your sodium intake, you mentioned your family history of thyroid issues, you DON'T want to cut out table salt (the idoized variety), unless your diet is high in fish. Companies started iodizing table…

One of my favorite bands ... they're coming to Louisville during the Derby festival ... I'll probably be seeing them then!

I like that song ...
