The earliest one I remember was walking home from Jr. High. "You wouldn't look half bad if it wasn't for your fat *kitten*." The one that hurt the most is when some friends of my parents were talking about me. They were right in front of me and didn't realize I could understand German as well as English. In German they had…

that's amazing! Great Incentive to get up and be active!

lol I haven't seen that one in years. I also like the Fifth Element, Summer Rental and The Great Outdoors

I feel old. My youngest is almost 23 years old, and I still have the baby weight from her AND her brother! It never came off. :embarassed: So far MFP has offered me a good bit of success. :bigsmile:

I agree. Lulu? like Little LuLu? I'm showing my age. :) I don't belong to a gym right now, but when I did, I felt a little intimidated by the people in cute outfits. Those people were fit and looked great. I, on the other hand, felt like a blob when I was on the machine next to them. Someday I'll rock a cute workout…

Is Osteo BiFlex - over the counter? My leftt foot has been throbbing for the last several months. I just attributed it to getting older. If that works for you, I may try it. I have hip issues as well. Anything that could help joint pain go away would be wonderful.

If you like long books (1000 pages give or take), try Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series. It's historical fiction love story mixed with a bit of time travel. It sounds kind of weird, but give it a try. She writes with a lot of detail and I have a very hard time putting her books down once I start.

I'd have the Guinness with a half a reuben. :)

The shakes sound delicious. I've already bookmarked the website. Thanks!

Me too. I'm 5' 8 1/2" - Almost there! BW - 225 CW - 220 GW - 180; I'm really aiming more for a dress size in the area of 16 - 18. I know I'll still be overweight at that point, but I'm hoping I'll at least feel better at that point. Then I'll decide where I want to go from there.

I was teary-eyed all day yesterday, and I take comfort in reading these posts. I'm glad I'm not alone, and wish I had the funds to get some professional help. I've been trying to find a support group, but no luck yet. I'm tired of feeling low. I know it's irrational but just can't seem to stop.

The thing that drives me crazy is when someone I don't know calls me honey or sweetie-pie. It usually happens at the office, and I will express my disapproval to them. Then I introduce myself and ask them to call me by my name. There's a particular client who always comes in and speaks to the women in the office in that…

I want to get in shape because I have no energy and feel really bad about myself right now. It's a vicious cycle and I want to break out of it. I want to quit blaming my surroundings for my failure to control my eating habits. No one is putting the food in my mouth for me. No one is forcing me to sit on my butt. They may…

lol - my mom still can't talk about that subject without whispering. :embarassed:

My parents weren't horrible at all. I was the baby and they treated me that way. Sometimes they were just a little misguided. One thing very clear in my memory happened in Junior High. My mom was well intentioned. I was always one of the "husky" kids in grade school. Weight has been an issue my entire life. This carried…

I've read so many posts and can relate to all of you. I've been on so many diets that I've lost count. I'm hoping this time will be a success.
