if his reply was just 'idk' then I would think all the same things about it not being official or he's open to whatever. it was just the 'you might know her' that threw me off since we don't know any of the same people, he doesn't have FB, and LA is such a big city. but this is all very helpful.

I don't disagree with anything you all have said. and I appreciate your replies. I have told myself all of the above. I have tried to get over him but there is an intense gravitational pull. it is gross. my reply was: "if you are with someone I might know, I want to throw up." though since we don't know anyone in common -…

sorry - just think texting me from his phone was skanky. I know she was a girl he hooked up with a few drunken times. she's not a skank - her behavior was skanky....to me. .

Touche. It's so much easier said than done. Tell it to my heart :/

You are right. And I know this is going to sound like an excuse for him...but he's a Marine with PTSD. He's had it rough coming back.

I want to! But I can't seem to let go. Could he be referring to me?

Thanks for answering the drinking question! What is your weight set up at home? And how did you come up with the 1350-1500 before adding back exercise calories...RMR? Thanks!

Ignore this one - please see below...you answered one of my questions already! Hazy, cloudy, wavy, gravy brain today.

Awesome! Rock on! \m/ btw...did you ever drink during the losing period??

To all those that actually read my post in detail and have either just responded, been supported, or gone out of their way to defend me, thank you. I was just nervous before our date, and I reached out to see if anyone else had been in this situation. You are all entitled to your opinions. Just as a follow up, we had a…

Actually, the first thing I say about him is that he is a really lovely guy.

Thanks for all your responses. Even the 'holier than thou' ones. Obviously I said yes because I value him as a person. I'm just being honest. After all, some people don't date people because their fat...and most people can lose weight. It affects his teeth and and his cheek and well - I know for a fact that some people…

Saute with non-stick spray, some garlic powder, pepper and a pinch of salt. Mix into some Fage 2% Greek yogurt for a delish side dish or dip. I just grab a spoon and go!

I agree with all of the above but add one caveat...if you get discouraged easily 'because you're not keeping up' then don't set yourself up for failure. The BEST exercise is the one you like and will stick to. If you are motivated by the challenge...GO FOR IT!!!! Just do all you can to set yourself up for success because…

Unemployed since Jan 3rd. Started weight loss Feb 8th-ish. Was on a roll until mid April but since then I keep losing and gaining the same 5-7lbs. Lower overall but the boredom and lower TDEE is a killer...even though I work out 5-6 days a week pretty hard. It messes with your mind...at least mine...and it feels like…

I've done 4 tandem jumps and LOVED every single one! 2 @ 14K in Indiana, 1 @ 10K in San Diego, and 1 @ 18K in New Zealand. 18K by FAR the best...supplemental oxygen on the way up but way longer freefall and it helps that it was with views of Fox Glacier and the Tasman Sea. GLORIOUS!

Bahahaha! I feel ya! Boooo... Will row, row, row my boat til I can sexercise! Hahaha!!!

Trampolines, Booty Camp, Pole Dancing, Gazelles, Good Ole Walking, Zumba, Spin, Swimming, Elliptical, Running.... Look at you guys! Kick *kitten*!

Sad but oh so true. Had 30 to lose at start. Took 3.5 months to lose 12. Got so tired of slaving for slow results, gained nearly 5 back in 2 weeks. Back on it but sheesh...so frickin' bs that it takes SO LONG to lose and no time to gain. Ugh ...

bump - trying to figure out something that works and I can stick to!

Thank you so much. As I felt really depressed tonight, I found myself over-eating. And I realized that I can't buy some of this other stuff that I've been buying like the tortillas and sugar free chocolate - for me even the cheese is hard. I wasn't really trying to do Atkins induction...just trying to stay under 50 net…

WHOOPS! I'll open it. It's set to friends only. Feel free to add me if you would like more friends :) And I believe in calories in/calories out as well!

Thanks everyone. When I said unlimited eggs and shrimp, I should have been more specific. I'm not looking to consume 2000+ calories a day. I still believe in calories in vs calories out - though I understand many people can get away with eating a lot. For me - it's just about developing good habits in portion control. The…

BUMP For this and other tips! Anyone else heard about the microwave pork rinds from J&J?

Hi! I'm new to low carbing...and am thrilled to hear your numbers!!! Congrats! So this means that you enjoy unlimited eggs, shrimp and other high cholesterol foods but they do not increase your cholesterol??
