Indeed! Your midsection went from ( ) to ) ( Be proud!!! :bigsmile: I needed to read this, too, b/c I just did my first day of 30DS this morning. Talk about motivation for me to keep going!!

Yup. This is exactly what popped into my head when I read the title! :laugh:

My thoughts exactly.

My boobs have not really changed AT ALL over the last 10 years of up and down weight gain, mostly due to pregnancies. I can gain 40 pounds or lose 40 pounds and I've nursed 3 kids 10+ months each and am currently nursing the baby without seeing much change at all in the firmness. My sister gave me grief one time when I was…

I'm not a big fan of PJs and slippers out in public. That said, when I was preggers with my now 2 year old, I came home from work one day and promptly put my purple fuzzy flip flop slippers on. I forgot I had them on when I ran to CVS to pick up an Rx for one of my sons - until I looked down while I was sitting in the…

I weigh myself way too often. I really need to have my hubby hide the scale and only let me weigh in once a week. :grumble:

I'm nowhere near the size I want to be right now, but I don't hate on anyone who is in better shape than I am. They did the hard work to get/stay there. Me? I'm a work in progress. :) I think a lot of women who put down other women do it out of a place of insecurity or jealousy. Years ago, I worked in a daycare and one of…

etc/ETC = etcetera. My caps are probably what confused you b/c it made it seem like I was using an internet lingo abbreviation. Sorry.

Bahaha. Apparently, he didn't like the lack of support he was receiving.

ETC seem like such simple letters to type, but they leave a whole lot unexplained that would probably justify your wife's behavior - if how you have handled this thread is any indication of what you are like IRL. I would be interested to know, too, which smileys you were using exactly. There is a huge difference between.…

Preach it, sista.

Because coming here and complaining about what happened will make her more open to the idea of you using MFP for support and friendly interaction, right? :huh:

Tank and panties is way different than complete nudity or body parts that should be covered by a traditional bikini being shown off, especially when they're cropped pics that show nothing else.

It's probably already been said in this thread, but I don't feel like looking to see if it was... For those of you saying we don't have to look at the pics, it's kind of hard NOT to look sometimes when they're in the OP and you have no idea they are going to be there. The one mentioned in the OP of this thread was a…

So very well said. It stands to reason, too, that I would not be a part of the "cook kid" culture as an adult since I didn't care about being part of it as a kid. If I have to be willing to put various body parts on display and talk trashy with strangers on the internet in order to be "accepted" or deemed "cool", then I…

No, you're not the only one. There is only one man whose body I care to see that much of and I'm married to him. I get that some people are seriously proud of the weight they've dropped and are enjoying their rockin' new body. But, I don't understand how weight loss and inhibition loss seem to go so hand in hand on this…

Apparently what you really need to get is a sense of humor b/c I was totally kidding with that comment. :indifferent:

I have a towel rack and I use it to dry my towel, but it still starts to smell "damp" after 2-3 uses. I used to use a separate towel for my hair, but have resorted to wrapping my body towel around my head after I dry off since I usually have a 2 year old either A) in the shower with me or B) banging on the shower door…

Lord have mercy. I'm going to buy new toothbrushes on my way home tonight...and a UV sterilizer. :sick:

I always try to pick out one part or feature that I like and focus on that. Usually it's my eyes, hair, or boobs. lol

It's better than people poop! :P

Hopefully a movie night tonight with the kiddos. Airsoft with some friends tomorrow. Church and family time on Sunday.

Happy birthday to your boy, mama. :) I'm sure God has great things planned for him!

:drinker:

I use my towel 2-3 times, max. Towels get washed in warm water with bleach. My kids use a new towel each time. I thnk I am going to teach them how to wash towels soon. :wink:

I love that the few random responses now have me imagining people kissing their electronic devices. lol Sleep deprivation FTW! I love Burt's Bees and I'm also a huge fan of the Nivea lip balm.

I figured location would inhibit your ability to re-create the first date thing. I hope you figure out what you can do that will help you all reconnect quickly and with as little awkwardness as possible. :) Oh - and I forgot to say it before, thank you and your wife for your service. God bless!

Is there any way to try and re-enact your first date - or a favorite date? If you can plan something like that, I think it would be really sweet. I know I would be touched if my hubs did something like that. If you're able to pull something like that off, then maybe you can spend the ride back to your flat sharing the…

I have decided that I officially hate the scale. It's actually a stumbling block for me in all of this. I stepped on it this morning and was super frustrated with the number. Then, I went to my closet and got dressed. I pulled out a dress that was kind of tight on me when I was 3 pounds lighter the last time I wore it…

I think it's strange that you can set a weight gain goal, but it does not track the number of pounds you gain. Have you tried submitting a topic about it in the help section?
