Sorry this happened to you. If you were friends first, I could see how she could think you were just hanging out unless you made it clear these were dates and you liked her. If you make that clear from the get go and she accepts a second and subsequent dates and then does that, she is wrong. If she thought you were just…

Guy at work using the "Oh are you losing weight?" to hit on me. I've been the same weight (well within 5 pounds) since I started this job in March. He didn't know me before I started and has no idea I have lost 130+ pounds. Drives me nuts! Probably more so since I was so heavy, I have issues with anyone commenting about my…

I just turned 40 and personally I wouldn't date anyone who was over probably 48 (50 at most). And even then they would need to be in good health and very active. I'm in my prime so I'm not looking for someone on the downhill slide to retirement. lol My boyfriend is turning 45 next month and the 5 year difference in our…

Best advice is a great bra both for everyday wearing and a super supportive motion reducing sports bra for exercising. Even at 40 and having been no less than a D cup since high school, my breasts aren't too bad considering I am currently a 38DD and have been as large as a 46G at my highest weight. I have gained and lost a…

BF has what he calls a back with a crack. lol Yep no *kitten*. Has to wear a belt to hold pants up no matter what. I can't say to much since I lost my butt when I lost my weight. I have a pancake *kitten*. lol

I'm not a traditional breakfast person myself. Occasionally I'll have bacon and eggs on the weekends, but generally through the week I either eat leftovers or a wrap made with a low carb tortilla with turkey or ham and cheese. Wraps are also good with just meat and some spicy brown mustard. Just eat whatever you like. It…

Losing weight to get back at my ex was never even a thought in my mind. He had seen me at both my highest and lowest adult weights while we were together. When I was at my heaviest, he would make comments and call me fat and lazy and such. I had dropped right at 100 pounds when I found out he was cheating (for the second…

I've always gotten compliments (from guys and girls alike) on my eyes and my skin. But I also have great boobs (38DD) and get lots of looks from the guys. I apparently also have great feet (according to a couple guys I know with a foot fetish lol).

Depends on what you're looking for. If you are strictly counting calories, fruit and yogurt are quick and easy for breakfast, get a 6" sub instead of a footlong and avoid the fatty, high calorie sauces, and for dinner maybe a piece of grilled meat or chicken with a baked potato and a salad. Eat what you like just stay…

Doing whatever you want, whenever you want. If you decide to go grocery shopping at midnight, so be it. If you want jump in the car and head to Memphis, Nashville or St Louis for the weekend with no notice, so be it. Go to a midnight movie 30 miles away on the spur of the moment, no problem. Stay in pajamas all day and do…

Love them. I currently only have one on my ankle but plan to get more very soon. My BF has a couple on his arms. I would love for him to get a half sleeve when he has the one redone to cover up a former GF's name. Moral of the story, if you are getting tats with names, get your kids' names or a memorial tat. Don't put your…

My body did this too. I lost 25 pounds on my one week clear liquid diet prior to surgery and the at my one week post-op appt, I was only down 2 pounds from day of surgery. I just attributed it to the saline IVs and having such a drastic lost pre-surgery that my body had already ridded itself of excess fluids. Don't worry,…

Just a minor setback. August will be here soon enough. Keep your head up and start practicing good habits now like not drinking with your meals, small bites and chewing very throughly, etc.

I'm 5'5" and currently about 190 pounds. I don't normally wear dresses. In pants or shorts, I wear 10 or 12s depending on the brand and shirts, I wear a misses large or XL depending on brand and cut.

Cream of Broccoli with Cheese is yummy! Lucky! I had to a week of clear, zero calorie liquids for my pre-op liquid diet. So I lived on water, tea, Crystal Light, Powerade Zero, diet soda, and SF popsicles for an entire week.

I take Centrum adult chewables. I also take sublingual B-12 for energy.

Give it a try and see. Most martial arts studios will let you take a class for free to try it out. I personally started kickboxing when I was about 225 or so. I love it. It is a tremendous workout. Just do what you can and the rest will come. :smile:

I was sent home with my medicine ball still hooked up and working. I removed it the following evening and never took any of the pain meds I was given. I hurt but more from the gas pains (in back and shoulders more so than my stomach). I didn't have any hernias repaired though and I thought the surgery was a breeze as far…

That early out there is no way you can get that much protein in. Just be sure you are getting some protein in and that you are drinking plenty of water.

^^^^^THIS!!!!

I have taken sublingual B-12 since surgery and my blood work is always great. However I find that I need 2000-2500mg a day or my butt is dragging. My doctor has offered for me to take the shot but it's not convenient for me to go to the doctor once a month for it nor is my insurance very friendly about paying for such…

As a non traditional breakfast eater, I rely on low carb wraps with turkey and cheese or ham and cheese. Sometimes I just grab string cheese and turkey pepperoni and eat those on the run.

I'm 5'5" and currently 189. My highest was 325. My lowest adult weight was 178 (about a year ago), Right now I am working on getting back to that but ultimately my goal weight is in the 150-160 range. I'm have a muscular build and large breasts so even at my current weight I look pretty good but I need to drop some more…

I like my veggies either raw or cooked to mush. No crunchy cooked veggies for me. Although raw is fine. lol not sure why. I also have texture issues with things like applesauce and oatmeal. Just can't do it. Reminds me of baby food although I'm perfectly happy with mashed potatoes, cottage cheese, mac and cheese. And…

I've never gotten "burnt" by a full blown beard, goatee or mustache. Now scruff or stubble on the other hand can be a bit rough on the old face and other parts. lol

This is what I take too. My nutritionist okayed them and they don't taste bad at all. Much better than the ones I was buying from my surgeon's office (they made me ill). And much less expensive too. They are around $10 for 100 (take 2 a day - one in morning and one at night). My blood tests are always great so I must be…

I ride "*****" with my boyfriend and a helmet and safety glasses are a must. Always wear real shoes (boots are best) and long pants. We ride in short sleeves in the summer, but if riding at night it feels much cooler with no sun to warm you so you will want your leather jacket or a hoodie at least. Oh we've tried the…

People who can't even seem to drive the speed limit. You get behind them in a no passing zone or heavy traffic where you can't pass and then as soon as you get to where you can pass them the *kitten* speed up to 65 or so and you have to go 70+ to get around them because as soon as you can't pass again they are right back…

I don't like my stretch marks, but I accept them. I got them from being so large and from pregnancy too. They are just part of me. They have lightened up over the years and don't even bother me anymore.
