It was just about 2 years before I started to feel better after ending my marriage of 20 years. I still have my moments but I think about how much better I am without him and all his drama, emotional crap and that improves my mood. You will get there :)

Currently 145? days logged in and about 20 lost.... since joining MFP I'm down 110

The reason I ask is that I always eat breakfast and lunch but usually never get hunger pangs but the last few days they are running amuck! I can't seem to go more than 2 hours with having them anymore.

It's an "I'm extremely proud of how far I've come and am happy with where I am". I took it just a bit ago after running around all day. Besides, I needed a new profile picture ;)

I started out wearing a 24/26 in jeans; currently a 10/12. I'm thinner now than I was in my mid to late 20's :) You should be extremely proud of yourself!

Grew up with both, had a cat for 15 years.... DOGS all the way at this point in my life. Daughters cat has gone to live with her dad. I love cats, just don't care for them if that makes any sense.

Marysville here... Born and bred here :)

I wish I was one of those plus size with awesome self esteem! I do know quite a few plus size women who have the wonderful self esteem and carry themselves extremely well; I admire each and every one of them in addition to being in awe of them

Been there, done that... DO IT!

I'm laughing so hard right now.... for the shear reason you've all made me feel SOOOO much better! Let's see 2 doughnuts earlier this week and I only logged one and these aren't your normal, every day, run of the mill doughnuts! These are "evolved" doughnuts; like malted milk chocolate cream filled, peaches and cream cake,…

My ex is 2 hours away and in some aspect that's still too close... be thankful you don't have kids.

Welcome to Wherever You Are.... Bon Jovi It's gotten me through A LOT of stuff the last 3 years.

My daughter had hers out a couple years ago and didn't have to change her diet too much simply for the reason that she never did fast food, fried foods, more unhealthy foods a whole lot. I know she discovered there were things she could no longer eat, but I have no idea what they are.

Sadly no. I have quite a few friends who are extremely close with their families and I have to admit it makes me extremely jealous. Unless it's a holiday or something like that, my family is rarely in the same place at the same time and the only time I see my brothers and their families.

Nature Valley oats and honey granola bars, Wheat Ritz crackers Fiber one granola bars Special K fruit crisp Diet Coke Skinny Cow/WW ice cream bars/sandwiches Popcorn Cheese/peanut butter crackers

Person scale on the floor, food scale on the counter Measuring EVERYTHING Not a lot of fried food Not a lot of junk, cookies, cakes. Crystal Light everywhere, Water bottles everywhere, granola bars everywhere....

You look wonderful but I don't care for your shoes :bigsmile:

Flavored water is the ONLY way I'll drink it.. .Propel or Crystal Light ( I prefer CL cuz it's cheaper). I've done fine with it.

Been fat all my life (though my mom says I wasn't) and grew up in a house full of athletic brothers. I stopped looking in the mirror at some point which was probably after I went beyond the weight I said I'd never go past (went at least 30 pounds beyond that). I finally decided things needed to change in my life and have…

I think most of us feel that way... I grew up in the same household pretty much... plus sized women run amuck and I refuse to follow in their footsteps. I don't want to die at barely 80 years old while looking 10 years older! I'll be more than happy to add you and help you along in your journey.

I've got pictures of mine on my profile! Little mixed breed is Kloe (rescued her from a shelter 2 years ago) White poodle is Koda Phantom poodle is Axyl (notice the markings are the same as a dobie). They are both from the same breeder and half brothers. I have no idea how to post pictures on the message boards.

I'd make a phone call.... something is NOT right and she may hate you but better than that in prison for murder or dead (God forbit either one). And while you may never know or hear it, she'd be able to thank you for making that call.

chips, crackers, candy, cookies... if it has a pieces count for servings, I count them out.

5 ft. 1.5 inches currently 168 started losing at 275+ I have 33 pounds left to go to reach my ultimate goal. Anything more than that is a bonus. Please feel free to add me :bigsmile:

I can tell what length my grooming clients are looking for when they say "just take half off" without even thinking about it. I can groom a poodle like no other I'm a neat freak OH! And my most secretest talent? I'm organized at being UNorganized! Appearances aren't always as they seem :wink:

I am a certified master groomer.... I try my hardest to make works of art out of some really messy doggies! I love what I do, have been doing it more than 20 years and make some damn good money for no college degree.

Broiled fish which is odd because I don't care for fish :laugh:

I couldn't imagine a better NSV! That's so exciting to be able to exchange something that important for a smaller size and to tell everybody how you started out with one size and had to exchange it for a smaller one! Way to go!!!!

:flowerforyou: :heart: Sending you the biggest hugs I can possibly give you :smile:

If a size 6 can be deemed plus size in the model world, then I'll be on cloud 9 and a size 8 or 10 to be normal in the real world.
