I don't want kids (age 26)....but I've never been that girl who "oohs and awws" over a baby in a store or the baby of a fellow church member. I love my niece and nephew to death though :) Plus...I'm dating a man who already has kids (ages 13, 15, 16...I think lol), and they're amazing. I love them with my whole heart, and…

I give myself a little leeway on the weekends. I just always try to make sure I drink at least 12 cups of water a day to counter the amounts of extra sodium I usually get in on the weekend. o_O I think you need days that aren't as strict.

thomas honey wheat english muffin with a mixture of 1 T Raspberry jelly and 1 T light cream cheese - 200 cal. I eat that when I get in to work at 7am and it keeps me full until at least 9:30am when I normally like to snack on almonds or a fruit.

WOW!! You look amazing! and congrats on the 5 year maintenance! :) You are an inspiration!

Woot woot! Congrats on your clothes transformation and good for you for donating :) Keep up the awesome work!

Wow girl!!! Amazing transformation! Keep up the awesome work! You can do this!

This is an awesome NSV! I'm glad you're seeing that your body has it's own shape and that you are creating even more of one as you get healthier and healthier :) I'm excited for you to reach ONEderland also :) Keep up the awesome work!

That's an awesome NSV! I forget about watch bands needing to be tightened (as opposed to belts, etc.) Congrats!

WOOT! Awesome NSV! Especially coming from your doctor :)

Wow!!! Awesome transformation!!! Great job and keep up the good work! :)

ANY of the Jack Reacher Novels by Lee Child My Latest interesting read was Life of Pi by Yann Martel I've recently started re-reading The Hunger Games series for the 10th or so time (LOVE) The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo series is amazing also! And of course, Jane Eyre...because you just can't hate a classic.

Oh my gosh! That was very rude of her to say! I'm so glad she apologized and congratulated you on your weight loss! You're doing a great job! She can just shove it :)
