Germans think Americans are insincere with our constant smiles... don't let it stop you. Be friendly. I felt safe traveling there - in general, forget the anti-theft purse and wear a money belt. Most Germans speak some English. And they will apologize for their "bad English" even though you understand them perfectly; most…

Excellent video. Your dad would be proud.

Do something today your future self will thank you for. Stop wishing. Start Doing. Failure is not falling down. But refusing to get up.

There is no diet that does what healthy eating does. Just eat healthy.

Two days did not blow it. It's a journey. Love yourself. Forgive yourself. Yesterday is gone. All you have is today. So get up and go for a walk. And write one of these messages to yourself, the one you need the most right now, and post it on your mirror!

The song was written about communist China and the 1989 Tiananmmen Square democracy protests & riots. Very unhappy times. ...........that said, most people listen to the song and don't realize the irony.... have a happy day anyway.

Bravo! Excellent work!

You are being real and so I appreciate this topic. Yeah, sometimes I do feel jealous (not mad) but usually not about weight. Other things that seem to come easy to people- I think about that and feel inadequate in comparison. But then again, I remind myself, I am seeing one of their successes. Most people don't share their…

congrats!

Crazy amount of calories??? Uh, no. A banana split has a crazy amount of calories. It takes your body longer to digest oatmeal - and you don't feel hungry. Try it in the afternoon a few days.

Add chia seeds to the shakes (to up protein), eat some healthy fats like raw, plain avocado 2-3 times a week, and try a week of eating at 1700-2000 everyday.

25%-30% female forms looks best to me! Male 25% as well...

Beautiful job! Very inspirational. (PS I love your grammar, punctuation, and spelling. That alone made the read extra enjoyable!)

I want to fit into my wedding dress again, just to know I can.... After 17 years- still have the guy, still have the dress, still have the love!

Eat an avocado 3 times a week! Yep, a whole avocado. Drink coconut water in a green smoothie. Are you drinking enough water? You will be amazed at changes in your skin. Once a week, eat a tablespoon of unrefined coconut oil. Also, as mentioned, you may have a mild milk allergy. Drop it for a month and see if your skin…

CONGRATS!!!

well put!

congrats! you look beautiful!

It is a sign of respect! Yes.

Yes, I often plan & log food night before but never register exercise until I've done it.

Ditto on the soda. Stop drinking all carbonated beverages! Here is link to a few support groups on this board. I am sure there are more as well: IBS/ Crohn's http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/1311-fighting-crohn-s-ibs-ibd Ulcerative Colitis (UC) http://www.myfitnesspal.com/forums/show/865-ulcerative-colitis Gluten-…

You might try a low fiber, low residue diet that is recommended for ulcerative colitis, a condition similar to IBS and celiac and crohn's disease. All digestive problems --- all gut-intestine problems!! I find with UC - limiting my amount of insoluable fiber helps. Oatmeal (Bob's Red Mill gf rolled oats) is OK and soft…

Different Types of Buddhism and Their Leaders Tibetan Buddhism: Master HH Dalai Llama Theraveda Buddhism: Master Ajahn Maha Boowa Mahayana Buddhism: Master Thich Nhat Hanh and of course MFP Buddhism - MASTER CLEANSE! ;) ** meant to lighten up the mood in here... or enlighten. **

just keep doing what you're doing. sound like she wanted a sale!

TOM? Water retention? High sodium? Eat back your exercise calories? You probably did not gain 10 pounds in a week - really- weigh yourself again in 2 weeks after being on your normal routine .

Yeah, my least favorite comment : "I've never seen calves that big on a woman". urrgh......

Sounds like his cheesestick is too SMALL... and his ego/need to obsess about what women in his life are eating is too LARGE. Ignore him as much as you can and NEVER share any personal info about your future job change plans. Listen to ipod/language program/books on tape when it is not your turn to drive the carpool.

Do not name your child: Jamze ( people will pronounce Jam-zee not James) Seventeen (really??? a number???) Morcedias ( Uh,,,,, just ...no.) Da'ki (Your Dah-key will become "Ducky" very quickly).

Travel more. Worry less.
