No. When I cook, I cook for me and always make extras for left overs or for my family to join me. I live in a house with 2 other adults, so if they don't want what I am cooking, too bad. They are big enough to make something for themselves. In regard to when I have kids in the house, they really don't know the difference…

I stayed home alone and had a beer all by myself! It was also my Golden birthday! Not the recommended way to spend ANY birhtday! :)

I am ink free and will stay that way! Not a fan of tatoos at all! I personally find them unattractive. I do understand that those who have them get them for stong emotional or personal reasons. It is just not for me!

My heaviest weight was 353 pounds (on a 5'5 frame) about 6 years ago. I weighed 311 on Jan. 15 of this year and am currently weighing in @ 275.

How amazing you look! What an absolute inspiration you are to YOURSELF and others! You should be so proud of yourself!

I have a bottle in my pantry! It is available here (MN) all the time!

Nabisco Swiss Cheese Baked Crackers!!!!!!!!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them!

According to my doc and trainer...you burn almost double the calories in water due to the resistance than you would walking, running, using the elliptical. If you think the amount is too high, cutyour time in half so the calorie burn is lower.

I have lost just shy of 40 pounds and the only exercise I do is walking!

I was going to the gym every day...sometimes twice a day! Had lost over 20 pounds. Then, I tore my hamstring in my right thigh. Was laid up for almost 6 months. The tear was almost to the point of requiring surgery...but thankfully did not need to go there. Then, about 2 months later, I tore the hamstring in my left calf.…

You are fantastic! Your dedication is wonderful! You look awesome! I am so thankful that I have you as part of my MFP team! You are a great inspiration to me! Congratulations on all of your successes!

To feel good and improve my health!!!!!!!!!!!!! And, I deserve it!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did...same size as where I got fitted! :)

I should note that i was professionally measured last week. I am a 44I....Lane Bryant, fashion Bug, nordstrom, Macy's....they don't go higher than an H!

My dog's name was Cinder (due to her coloration) and my sisters dog who lives with me is Tessa! Cinder was a St. Bernard/Saymoa and Tessa is a pure-bred Black Lab

That is fantabulous! Congratulations to you! What an inspiring person you are! True dedication! :)

I have a friend who thinks I look like Lucy Lawless when she was Zena: Warrior Princess! Of course, that was a FEW pounds ago! LOL!

Lunch meat and Cottage cheese! I have had to learn to only use 1/2 a serving of lunch meat for my sammies....but a 1/2 serving of cottage cheese will not do! That only gives a 1/4 cup! LOL! :tongue:

Fantastic job! Congratulations to you!

I weigh on the first of the month ONLY! At the same time...and before I dress, eat, or drink. There are too many fluctuations throughout the month for me to weigh more often. And, it is not about the number for me. It is about how I FEEL! :)

Wow! Great! Definately see the difference!

READING, scrapbooking, walking, hiking, swimming, gardening

I am 5'5....but I only have a 22 inch inseam....VERY short legs. Because of this and the fact that I am very broad shouldered and hipped, I think that at my height, 150 will be great. I will be happy anywhere between 150 and 175!

Not sure what the calorie count is off hand, but it is yummy and satisfying! 1 cup favorite greens 1/2 pink lady apple (granny smith, gala, fuji work as well) 1/8-1/4 cup dried cranberries 1/8-1/4 cup pecans or almonds 1 - 1 1/2 cups veggies (carrots, cukes, radishes, peppers, onions, etc) cut/sliced Mix all together then…

Wind Beneath my Wings...Bette Midler The only song that causes me to be emotional! :0

June 1.....19396 step = 9.34 miles for me! Best day ever!

It is more important how you feel than what the scale says! Congrats on the looser clothes! What a great and positive sign that things are going great for you!

Go for it! Take me as I am or kiss my *kitten*! LOL! Be bold, confident , and outgoing!

I am generally an upbeat and positive person. But, now, I am HAPPY! Been so long and it feels so GREAT! I am finally doing something just for me and nothing but positive has come from it!

1. I can walk, at any pace, without shin splints! 2. In a size 24 from 28 3. Energy level and endurance levels are sky high! 4. I am PROUD of myself!
