One guy actually to me "Wow! You lost a sh*%load of weight!" What I'd like to know is, how much exactly is a sh*%load?

My motto is 'all things in moderation'. I don't pay any attention to all the diet and health fads because what they tell you this month is bad for you, next month they'll be telling you it's good for you. I eat bread, pasta, ice cream (Skinny Cow is awesome), hot dogs, italian sausage --- whatever I want at the moment. And…

Add me. I know how it is. I love the encouragement and support that I received since I finally introduced myself. I think I have almost 80 friends now --- after less than two weeks! Welcome, welcome welcome!!!

When a cat pees somewhere other than his little box it can be a sign of a urinary tract infection. You should have him checked out by your vet before you toss him out.

II have two dogs --- a porky little english lab/pit bull mix who is an absolute sweetheart, but she eats anything in site, so we can't leave anything out. The other dog is I believe part doberman and something hairy. And then, we have a nine-month old black and white cat named Sirius --- yes, a cat named after the dog star…

Yeah, I know exactly what you're talking about. Those whiners irritate me, too. They have two ounces in invisible fat on their hips that they need to lose and I'm sitting their looking like the Michelin Man's wife. But I suppose perception is reality to the person who is perceiving it, so I guess we should have a little…

Thank you --- I found it.

You've come to the right place. I just introduced myself a couple of days ago and so far I've received more than sixty awesome, inspiring replies to my post and dozens on friend requests. I'm fifty-seven years old and I know how hard it can be to lose weight at our age, or how easy it is to think, what does it matter? But…

So am I! And I can't tell you all how much I appreciate it!

Thanks for the tip about cinnamon. mint and raspberry to quell sugar craving. I guess that's why I've been doing so well by having a couple fireballs a day. They're basically made of sugar and cinnamon, but two fireballs a day is nothing compared to the sugar that I used to scarf down every day.

Thank you so much for your awesome reply. It was so well-worded and inspiring. So many of the things you wrote hit home for me, especially the part where you talked about using your fat suit to protect you. I know that's exactly what I've been doing my whole life and you're right --- It doesn't work. I know I've got to…

Read the replies that were sent to me and pretend that they're saying them to you, So many people said so many inspiring things that I can't take the time to write them all to you, plus I don't want to steal anybody else's thunder. What a great group of people! The things I liked best is the advice to just take it one…

Thank you all so much for the support. It's so overwhelming that I started to cry a few times. It's good to know that there are so many people out there who pay attention to what you have to say and care enough to take the time to respond. I'm going to try very hard to stick with it and really lose it this time. Thank you…

God bless you for quitting smoking. I give anyone who can do it a world of credit. I come from a whole family of smokers. I don't know how I managed to avoid it, but I'm glad I did. As to losing the 15 pounds,I just followed the calorie intake recommended by MFP and did my best to stick with it, having some days that were…
