I am so glad this thread is still going around-- I fell off the wagon over the past few months and gained about 13 pounds back! This is so inspiring!

Very true! I am going to try the baggy idea, thanks.

I hadn't thought of it that way! I like that thinking. I'm about to go for a bike ride, burn some of that off. Thanks. :)

Logic? What's that? Haha. It's not good logic, I know. But I am a bit compulsive and fashion an excuse out of anything.

I'll keep that in mind. He's pretty great, though. :smile:

K, so, I have no idea how to post a picture. So go here if ya wanna see us. :) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v306/beautyxschoolxdropout/MeAndJustin.jpg <3

Date numero 4 was last night. He came over at 9 and we hung out until 5am, just enjoy each other's company. Annnd... Drum roll please... It's official. We've achieved boyfriend & girlfriend status. We were talking last night about how much we both care about each other, so soon. It's scary, but like I told him, it's a good…

My belt is about the only place I can see my progress. My friends and family tell me I look great, but I see myself all day everyday, and I'm still in pretty much the same size, which was discouraging until I put on the same belt I've been wearing for a few years. The first couple of holes were worn and frayed from where I…

-Strawberries -Cucumbers -Wheat Bread -BBQ!!!

I am going to pledge 1 mile this week. :laugh:

On the nights when I want to eat real bad and know I shouldn't, I'd take a light sleep aid if I needed help, and just go ahead and go to bed. I always felt better about myself in the morning for not giving in, and it's easier to not eat when you're sleeping, lol.

I think what you're having may be similar to what I was having trouble with. Although maybe not. Google posterior shin splints, see if that helps. Ice and rest are recommended either way. :wink:

I don't even know what this thread was about. I didn't read past the topic line, asking 'should I quit?' ...No.

I own nothing leather. Hahaha.

I have no earthly idea what to wear! Haha, he's wanting to take me out on his bike, and his 4-wheeler. I have to find appropriate outfits for both! :laugh:

I'm a slacker. :blushing:

180 calories and 11 grams of sugar works just fine for me. I've actually had more success losing weight since I found them than I did before. I think it depends on the person.

Oh my gosh, me too. This is making me crave one. Haha.

And one other thing. Why was it necessary to show each girl's height & weight at the bottom of the screen? Would they do that if it was a normal stupid reality show with the size-2 girls they were talking about? Of course not. It just makes the whole thing a spectacle in my opinion, 'Oh, look at these fat people trying to…

I was thinking the SAME thing. And yeah, why the big guy? He's a cutie, but it's like they did a heavy version of 'The Bachelor' with these girls who for the most part aren't even comfortable in their own skin! What kind of message is that sending out?

Tight stomach? Nope. Don't know anything about that. :laugh:

Ditto! I used 3 pound weights as well, and keep my arms moving and usually bent at all times, as well as boxing. My neighbors are probably getting a show, but my arms are looking pretty good. :) I haven't had any pain from it yet, and god knows I'm a klutz-- if there's a way to hurt myself doing something, I will find it.…

Bahahaha. I don't know you, but I love you. It could be that it's 8am and I'm just coming off of a 12-hour shift, but I am cracking up.

Aw, thanks kevinsgirl! I'm trying. Tonight I went out and bought a ton a of fruit and veggies and such so I have no excuse NOT to eat better, but I just lack the desire to do anything. I'm at work now, and will be until 8am. I'm hoping I'll go for a run or bike ride in the morning. I have a date Saturday night, I gotta get…

K, so, is it too late for my to join in here? And how does this work? Someone break it down for the sleep-deprived girl. :smile:

Thanks for posting this!

I ate 1/4 of a lemon pound cake, 2 brownies, and oreo pie on Saturday, along with hard lemonade. And had Bojangle's for dinner last night. I'm back in healthy mode today. I just considered it a little vacation. :laugh:

I usually bring a sugar-free jello pudding cup and tell everyone it's my slice of birthday cake if they ask.

I love the wal-mart brand chocolate slimfast. If you stick it in the freezer 'til it's icy it's just like a milkshake, at 180 calories.

Hahaha, that's what I was thinking, if the night ends that way, I might be able to deal with that. But not if it starts off that way! And no, there is nothing quite like, and I'm assuming here, getting him to hold my hair back on the 2nd date. And I'm pretty sure there'd be no goodnight kiss. :laugh:
