Adore you already! In a similar spot, so, yep!

Thanks Joan...it's not easy, but I really like this thread - it seems a little easier to pick a couple of small things instead of looking at the bigger (pun intended) picture! So JFT: 1. Drink 5 glasses of water (I met my goal of 4 yesterday) 2. Log everything 3. Not beat myself up if I go a little over in calories (focus…

Just for today (Thursday, November 5), I will: 1. Log everything I eat 2. Drink 4 glasses of water I'm getting started yet again, I'm tired, I'm depressed, and I'm not at all feeling my usual motivation as though I can do it, but I want so much to get back to where I was. So today, 2 small steps.

Bump and I think I own this cat.

HA HA - got a funny story for you...my house was broken into a couple of years ago...when I was going through with the cops and my mom, in addition to a ransacked bedroom, in the MIDDLE of my bed was a bright purple toy...TURNED ON. Yeah...that just happened. But I figured I am a grown a$$ed woman, so whatever!!!!

What really got me serious was a diagnosis of Hidradenitis suppurativa (which is fun to say but SUCKS to have) - short version is it's kind of like reverse acne in places where your skin rubs together - for me, my armpits - and the lumps are a heck of a lot bigger than regular acne. This is gross, but when the "zits" pop…

You had me at bacon.

Adore mine - I'm on my second model in two years. It motivated my whole family and now there's the totally *friendly* competition going on where I kick my brother's *kitten*!!! Although none of us can touch my father...seriously, the old man needs to slow the fudge down. If you're into data or want a more accurate idea of…

Because his profile pic is a Baywatch style slow-motion-exiting the water pic.

Do I even need to address this? Yeah, I think like a 12-year-old-boy sometimes.

^^ Exactly ^^ I don't think I've ever seen a video with so much win and fail simultaneously. Can't decide if I'm impressed or horrified, but really want to see someone use this in real life...while I watch...and eat popcorn...and video tape...because this has funny video potential written all over it.

LOL!!! Hey, sometimes kids need coffee too! "I'm not sleepy mommy...I swear..."

THIS! THIS FOR DAYS!!! You just made my taste buds explode....

Never say never. I always thought it was the ultimate deal breaker. Then I found myself with an 18 month old son, pregnant with another baby, in a new house, and a husband who announced he was having an affair. Suddenly it didn't seem like it was the ABSOLUTE deal breaker. For 2 months we worked on our marriage -…

Just break up. And I say that in all seriousness. I was married to a guy like that. It never changes, it never gets better. It will drain every ounce of YOU away. You're lucky you found out BEFORE you married him. The guy I'm seeing right now has made it clear with words AND actions that he finds me beautiful, sexy and…

:wink: How YOU doin'?

Sadly, I'm usually the textER not the textEE. It's why I now hide my phone before I drink! :drinker:

Paige, you are SO eloquent, open and honest...thank you for sharing this journey with us! Big kiss!

I'm not done, but definitely a change... edited: stupid image size is way off... http://www.ldparker.me/conversations/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/ThenNow2.jpg

Animals know how to have fun...we should be more like them...

Sounds to me that your activity levels on MFP may be set wrong. Do you have them set at Sedentary? If so, kick them up a notch or two. It sounds like you're a lot more active than you give yourself credit for. Also, do you have FitBit and MFP syncing automatically? If not, I would do that...that way it will figure itself…

Smile usually. :happy:

OMG is EVERY Forum Topic about bacon this morning? MUST. RESIST. BACONY. GOODNESS!!!

Seriously...I wake up, venture into my first forum of the day and am met with breakfast porn. I :heart: you all...so much.

That in spades!

^^ That ^^ And incredibly impressed to have that particular piece of insight from a guy... Bravo to you GeekyJock!

Tell your friend there's only one secret...

Yep...I use mine on the elliptical every day.

Adore my FitBit...I wear it 24/7, and wear my HRM only during workouts. After the workout I'll enter my data from the HRM into MFP and then it automatically synchronizes with FitBit to account for the overlap between the two devices, and adjusts my calories accordingly. LOVE LOVE LOVE! Can't say enough positive things…
