It's none of my business how other people raise their children. That being said, respectfully, if it were my ten-year-old, no, she wouldn't have a cell phone. I still go by my father's way of thinking, "when you earn it, you'll have it." Maybe old fashioned, but it teaches responsibility and respect, and that there is no…

Fantastic! What a difference! I can't wait to reach that 100lb mark! High five to you! :)

Chair covers may look nice, but they really are a waste of money. If you have extra to spend, spend it on centerpieces that will make the tables look nice. The first thing I notice at a wedding reception are the tables, never paid too much attention to chair, they're just something to sit on.

You are assuming it's a sphere, when in fact, it could likely be a disc. :wink:

Between the OP and the responders, I nearly blew a blood vessel laughing so hard. Thanks, I needed that today. :laugh:

To be able to dance at all four of my grandchildren's weddings, and maybe get to meet and hold some of my great grandchildren. :happy:

Thank you for posting your story! You look absolutely amazing! You are an inspiration to all of us still on our journey. Hugs! :flowerforyou:

LMAO! ^^^^ And yep, what this gentleman said.

I laugh at people like that. Their lives are so miserable and misguided that they have to try to make others feel bad to make themselves feel better. Karma will come around and take a big bite of their semi-bony *kitten*. What you put out there, comes back three-fold.:laugh: Keep on going and pay no mind to the useless…

You look fantastic! Thank you for posting! Very inspirational! :)

You're right. You should hand them a dictionary and tell them, "there's a huge difference between obsession and dedication, look it up."

Totally agree, TLC used to stand for "The Learning Channel." Now it should be DDC (the Dumbing Down Channel).

I'm willing to bet that the show crashes and burns with a quickness. She's an annoying little brat with no manners. I wouldn't let any kids watch it either, for just that reason. Could you imagine living with that, day in and day out? I blame the parents more than her, it's the horrible way she was raised.

Okay, this is going to sound crazy and I thought so too, but my Mom and Dad both swear by it and swear it works. Take a plain bar of ivory soap and put it under your sheets of your bed. For some reason, this works for leg cramps. I have no idea how, but it does. Reference:…

I agree, nothing replaces eating healthy and hard work. I've been through just about everything at one point or another and MFP along with a healthy diet and exercise works better than anything else I've tried.

Take a bubble bath and have a couple of glasses of wine. It will all work out. I don't understand about waiting till the week of the wedding to get a suit though. That's cutting it quite close, especially if alterations are needed.

I keep a big bottle of water, some sugar free hard candies, and fruit for these occasions. I used to eat out of boredom too. Now when I recognize it, I chug some water, eat a piece of candy or fruit, or just do some exercising and it passes :)

Personally, I used to be addicted to their fish sandwiches. Although at first blush, it seems like a healthy choice, alas, it isn't. But I won't deny myself that treat every now and then, if the craving arises. :)

Congratulations! You look fantastic! Thank you for being such an inspiration! :smile:

This is a story I read awhile ago, and a great reason why you should not wax the girly bits by yourself. 'The Wax'. My night began as any other normal weekday night. I came home from work, fixed dinner for my son and we played for a while. I then had the thought that would ring painfully in my mind for the next couple…

Mornings for me. Exercising energizes me and if I do it too late at night, it takes a while for me to wind down. If I do it in the early morning, it wakes me right up and I'm ready to get on with the day. Not to say that when I'm bored I don't do extra throughout the day. :)

Very wise advice, can't top that.

Good luck Pam! I too am losing because of a history of diabetes in our family. I would love to have you as a fitness pal. Sending you an invitation. Have a fantastic day! :)

The toughest birthday I had was, believe it or not, 25. I had this thought that "oh no! I'm a quarter of a century old!" *gasp*:sad: 28 years later and I'm 53, and I know it sounds cliche, but age is just a number. My mind says I'm 18, now if I can just get my body to cooperate, I'd be golden. LOL!:laugh: Take it in…

Both. :)

Oh honey, how can you be down with all that you've accomplished? You look fabulous! You're a lot heathier! And look at your beautiful face and smile. Just keep plugging away. It eventually revs up again. We all go through those times when our metabolism is lazy, even if we are far from it. Big hugs! And keep up the good…

Sorry to sound harsh here, but there is no legitimate excuse for treating others badly. Your friend obviously forgot what it feels like to be mocked and taunted due to weight issues. She's turned into a self-righteous bully. This is the same as the smoker who quits and then badgers others who have a hard time doing so, or…
