I can definitely relate. I am getting closer to my goal and I notice how thin I look in certain areas of my body. I always lose in my upper body, face and arms first. And of course that is where everyone looks first. So when my clavicles and cheek bones begin to show more and become defined people think I am good. That I…

I agree this could be the case. But in that instance leaving is the best option. I am very verbal with my husband and if a time ever came where I found myself in love or thinking about being with another person in a serious manner, I would tell him and then leave. Yes it would hurt and yes it might make him pissed, but…

^^^^ This.

Non Scale Victory = NSV :happy:

It isn't the clothes, it's the way you wear it. A confident and beautiful woman can wear a paper bag and still command respect and look sexy as hell. It's about how you feel about who you are. Take two women, each wearing a little black dress. One looks like trash because she is obviously trying to get attention,…

Since I a not at my goal yet I can't say if I will be totally happy with myself then, though coming close I think it's a matter of you being happy with you. If you're not sure what to do, I would suggest maintaining for a while, let your mind settle into the new you. Work on self esteem and being happy with who you are.…

That is a Fabulous artwork of Drizzt! :love: :love: :love: :love:

Love how you think!!! Zuko, I forgot about him! Inuyasha.... yummy.... though I was a Sesshomaru girl, I'll take brother if I must.

Kakashi from Naruto. My husband already knows if he was real, he wouldn't stand a chance. :love: :tongue:

I find one thing wrong with this study. They didn't say that the cause of divorce was because they shared the housework. For all I know this percentage of people all cheated, or perhaps were abusive. Unless one refuses to do any housework and the other murders him or her, then I don't see how housework is even a subject.…

Personally I always advocate honesty in a relationship, if he can't handle it now that you're married, perhaps you should have talked BEFORE the marriage. And I should have quote someone who actually said your spouse doesn't have to be your best friend. Seriously? Okay, I guess yeah having a BFF that is someone outside of…

LOVE the story, and one day I will have that feeling too. You look fabulous and obviously you feel even better! :love: :flowerforyou: :drinker:

Sorry, my wrist has lost fat. Gotten smaller. According to the calculation, I have a small frame. Hahaha Yeah right! I have super wide hips, that even now well overweight and still pretty far from the normal range BMI, I can see my hip bones when I lay down. I'm not trying to be mean, but this calculation is bunk. Unless…

Bump

Not only do you look fantastic! But that photograph of your after is stunning! Composition wise. I should know I used to be a photographer. Great job! Love the shirt too btw.

^^^ This. Ignore the smart a**es. They are amusing, but not very helpful. Lift heavy, make sure you're getting your protein, and good luck!

Shrinking boobs :sad: :sad: :sad:

Bump for later

Merlin :heart: :heart: :love: Dr Who already started but a biggy on my list! :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :love: :love: Once upon a Time :love: :love: :love: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Supernatural :heart: :heart: :smooched:

Change your activity level to lightly active or sedentary and then eat back half of your exercise cals. Make sure everything you put in is correct and try sticking with 1 lb a week. 2 lbs a week isn't really healthy anyway. Every 5 lbs you lose you should recalculate, because as you lose weight your body will need less and…

I would want one of two things. A Subaru Outback (doesn't have to be brand new, but in really good condition at least) Or a large house in the country.

Fantastic! :love: As for me. Going to be an elf. I'm against tramping up the holiday so it will be an elf that wears actual clothes. A wood elf probably, with autumn colors.

This^^^ If you go over in sodium, the worst you may find the next day is a pound or two (or more depending on your sensitivity to it) of water weight. That if you drink enough water, will go away within a day or two. That being said, constantly going over sodium isn't good for you. Like everything else, moderation.

I am with you! I love my big teddy bears! Now I don't want them the size of a mountain, but a little thick in the middle is okay. I will also except those large soft muscled guys. Sounds weird but I've seen them. Big round muscles with a layer of fat over top. Yum. I want a guy that feels nice when he has his arms around…

You said you aren't logging, so you don't now 100% sure that you are staying within those calorie amounts. Plus, I cannot say to those people eating under 1200.... they may be short, with tiny frames and don't need as many cals as others do, however if they are losing fast then (and this is again, unless they have lots to…

When I first started MFP I set a goal for 180. I bit high I know, (I am 5'10 so it's a bit different for me) but I haven't ever been that small and I didn't know how I would look at that point or if I was even able to get there. Now that I am getting closer I can see the finish line. However my weight loss journey isn't…

:laugh: here here! :drinker: :drinker:

This^^ I am all for healthy school lunches, but as with everything, moderation. Especially young kids going through that, I won't eat anything but this, faze. My youngest is going through that faze now. I make a deal with her, if she eats this ex...carrots.. she can have chicken nuggets for lunch. So we compromise. But if…

LOL......LOVE your mom. She's a wise woman. If this were me I know I would have trouble going back to that gym. But I would eventually make myself. We can't let others have that sort of power over our lives, even though it's hard to do that. But as time goes on, your inner strength will overcome this sort of thing. Ooh rah…

Omg! I always thought it WAS bathroom on the right! :laugh: :laugh:
