My doctor told me that I was about to fall off of a cliff and my obesity related health problems were going to really start damaging me. Oh and speaking of being blunt, I just had a plastic surgeon tell me to "quit being a *kitten*" because I wear a band over a big painful scar on my arm. That actually made me laugh.

I think I saw this (Crystal Pepsi) in a store this week, I'm almost sure I did.

Dijonaise mustard and there was a Wishbone diet raspberry vinegrette I used to love.

My biggest uniform pants were so tight that I've had to work with them un buttoned under my un tucked shirt. I can now button them and zip them up without a fight. My belt has gone down a notch too!

Your story sounds identical to mine! I drive a delivery truck, have herniated discs in my neck and because of a recent injury (dog mauling) I have gained 45 lbs. quickly. I also am addicted to food and have beaten other issues with no problem, like cigs and pain meds. I have considered the surgery but my brother really had…

you look fantastic and I bet you feel even better!

~The living dead. I saw night of the living dead at the drive in when I was a kid in 1968 or 69, and have had nightmares about them ever since. I think about them every day and always know the best place to run or hide wherever I go. ~Being the sole surviver at the end of mankind..but not being sure Im alone. ~Clowns..and…

My people! Sometimes keeping my mouth shut is my greatest accomplishment of the day!

Ive never had pumpkin soup but I do love pumpkin anything..is it worth the effort?

These are hysterical!!!!!

Losing 40 pounds makes quite a difference no matter how big you start out. I remember when I lost 40 and my mom didnt seem to notice. She fought her weight her whole life. Mom became very ill and I think that she was focusing on herself, as she needed to, but it was a sting that she was the only person that never commented…

Wow, a lot of these had me actually laughing out loud!! I have had so many stupid injuries I cant even remember most of them. Im a package delivery driver and years ago I ran into a factory that had a garage type door to the shipping room. I lifted it, got my signature, turned to run out ( I had one more priority stop I…

I was supposed to be born on Leap Year Day but I was late..March 1

I have had dizzy issues myself and it has turned out to be vertigo caused by a virus. There were no other symptoms. It was all inner ear. There is an OTC medication you can buy called Meclazene that helps but if it continues I would see a doctor first. It could be anything from vertigo to a heart issue. Good luck, I hope…

A floss stick thingie..but the night is young!

last week I went into work and there was..a huge sheet cake half chocolate/ half vanilla, piles of bagels in every variety, tubs of cream cheese and donuts, all in the breakroom. My weakness is cream cheese mounded on asiago bagels..I walked away..When I came back in the evening..I had a tiny piece of cake..like a pat of…

I have ben experementing too and find that I love cider vinegar but not by itself (yet) I put some in a jar and add Kens lite Caeser, put the lid on and shake..it cuts the dressing and the vinegar is supposed to be really good for you.

Yo know, sometimes those frozen bags of steamer veggies are a lifesaver! In 5 minutes you have a big hot bag of yummy food for few calories. I prefer fresh but these really help me. I also cook a big pot of quiona and separate it into cup size servings..if Im really starving I microwave this then dump the veggies on top,…

Listen, I overate yesterday..I knew I would and I just considered it controlled chaos. I didnt hog down cakes and pies and breads but I did go over my calories and I have very high calories per day because of my job..however I dont work on weekends, so going over is extra damaging. I just looked at it like a planned cheat…

Im no expert but when I eat quinoa I notice that it is pretty calorie rich, but good for you. If its bland either spay fat free butter (ICBINB) or a splash of low cal salad dressing. Good luck!

It was terrible, as most zombie movies are..I told my husband- who is NOT a fan of this type of entertainment, its stupid, so impossible! He said so is TWD, I said, no that is pretty realistic as to how survival might be, Z Nation tried too hard and was ridiculous. For instance..there is an infant in a car seat, probably…

Yes, I feel your pain. I am on my 20th day of starting over. I was very sucessfull before and was sure that I had it under control -then my life went haywire. I hung on for a long time then just lost all control. I wont bore you with the details but my friends all say they dont know how I got through it all...anyway... So…

Me and Mrs. Jones...cuz we both know that its wrong

your shorts are getting longer! haha! thats so cool, good for you, I wear a uniform too and it can be brutal when they get tight!

I like this thread! Im 54 and just jumped back on the wagon after losing 65lbs then re-gaining it. I wont bore you with the details but I am finally coming out of the grieving process that threw me off track. Its nice to read stories similar to mine regarding weight loss.

I dont even have the words to say how happy I am for you!!! Congratulations!

I sice them into little discs and freeze on a baking pan, once theyre frozen solid I dump them into a ziplock bag. I do this with grapes too..grapes are super yummy frozen!

I always wonder about that too, especially with soup/ chili type stuff. I know you add it all up and divide into portions, but is that it? I often try too find the closest thing to it listed already but that doesnt feel right either.

OH! I just got one myself, I love it! I need to put it in front of a tv or something though, I have it in my unheated sun room and it gets boring looking at the back yard. I got mine on sale for &599. at Sears.
