Thank you!! :) I think, what I may do for the next 3 days, is to stay away from the sugars but not track. i.e., if I am craving, have an extra piece of cheese or lean meat or veggie. Once i get over the hump, I can get back to my normal eating plan. I forgot about the whole detox thing - or whatever you call it :) when you…

Date ((if I were single - but I thought I'd play for fun!)) :)

I have to admit - before coming to this site, and reading some of these threads, I firmly believed that there were only a small portion of men, on the odd side, that only liked EXTREMELY heavy women - i.e., 100 + lbs overweight. So then you get into the this scenario - what if you are not 100+ overweight (anymore!!:) ) but…

:flowerforyou: :drinker: (((HUGS)) to you as well! :heart:

I think she looks beautiful and toned.

thank you!!

Thank you! :) thanks to everyone!:)

Wow! Thanks everyone. I just can't wait till I hit the 100 lb mark. Then there wouldn't be any doubt in. My mind!

My husband was high 300's when we met, and is probably between high 300's and low 400's now. I love him dearly, and am waiting for him to be 'ready' to do this journey with me. we have done this over and over (dieted etc) for the past 18+ years we have been together. These kinds of questions baffle me. My question to you…

You, my friend, are one Amazing woman - Never have I known anyone like you, and you radiate confidence and inspiration like no one else. Great FREAKIN JOB!!! :) :heart: :drinker: :flowerforyou:

I agree that weights are better than straight cardio - though a combo of both is good. One thing though - I'm totally NOT opposed to a cheat day. Actually, not opposed to having them a couple times a week. it's all relative. All about how fast you want to lose - or how slow. the amount of calories you consume in say a…

Bump?

you LOOK GREAT!!! AWESOME JOB! :)

Wow. The idea that the highly sexual centered posts are perfectly acceptable even though many may be offended, but one about religion gets reported and hated... baffled. And sad. Unbelievable..

my own lower cal version is actually my favorite at the moment. I prefer it over any pizzeria pizza, cheaper, fresher, and ready in 8 minutes :) under 500 calories for the whole thing.:)

Here's the thing: If the airline could not guarantee her departure AND her return, they should never have sold her the ticket. End of Story. In my opinion, they accepted responsibility by letting her take the plane THERE, and then stranded her in another country. I don't care who you are, that's just WRONG. If the airline…

Wow. All this negative thinking around taking a diet break once a week is amazing. Who cares? I mean even if it did slow down your progress by one day, and in the big scheme I don't believe it does because it helps to keep your metabolism from adjusting to the same calories daily, but even if it did... this is a lifestyle…

I follow almost the exact pattern. But what I am finding is the more I have the free days, the less I enjoy them. Kind of like reverse psychology. I am now to the point I can't stomach the smells of most fast food. My husband still eats it, so I pick it for him, but I usually get nauseous on the way home from the smell. I…

Lol! My frog Cake wins? hehehehe...

lacroyx - first pic bottom row- Great SMILE!

LinliAnne - I'd guess around 145-155- (this IS hard)

I think I was watching too much TV today. When I read this, for some reason, I thought it said 'Zombie Buddies'. :) eta: I'd like to Try Zumba sometime - don't know a lot about it.

Manny - 175?

OK - I Love you. Seriously. no. I mean it. Say it again? LOL!! I actually have considered making that my GOAL weight, if that helps any ;-)

only see your face, but I'd go with 145?

I blew them out of the water :-). But, I did succeed in not eating until I was sick all day :-) I was very full after lunch. But not horrible the rest of the day (not good either). Didn't finish the one piece of pie that i had, but had a lot of taters and gravy :-)

Yep. I planned on it and heavens, if we can't have a cheat/splurge day on THANKSGIVING, when the heck CAN we? LOL! I actually have been experimenting over the past few months, playing with maintenance and losing a couple of pounds over all. It's coincided with some extremely stressful weeks at work, and a medical issue I…

I wanted to thak all of you very much for the kind words. I really am not as bad off as most people. We have food to eat, a warm house, 2 cars, and 2 jobs and then some. Its just that .. well.. we both had planned on, from before I was pregnant, that I would stay home with the kids should we have any. I worked until my…

Thank you both very much. I have assured him that I want him to be happy. I don't want him to feel bad about this. 3 years without work was a tough shot to the ego, and I don't want to hurt him. I've been picking up part time work for the past year as well as my full time job, and we have a young child. Now I have to…

I think you need to try it both ways... there's something about it that makes it taste more like PIE this way
