Mmmm!!! Sounds delish! BUMP for sure! :happy:

:noway: Wow! You look great! Congratulations!

No offense, but avoid. I just don't swing that way :wink:

Stationary bike for 45 mins plus 15 mins of real good stretching. I've been super lazy lately, but now my brother got me a Fit Bit for Christmas.. no more excuses!!! Gonna get my rear in gear and drop this last 45 pounds! :drinker:

I'll second that one! I hate feeling so down on myself when I know that I'm better than that. Trying to get healthy body AND mind wise so I can recognize that I am a person of worth and dammit - a guy should be lucky to have me! :happy:

I'm in the exact same boat as you as well! Chugging right along like a speeding train until Thanksgiving and then BOOM... brakes hit. I've actually been putting weight back on the past 3 weeks. I also get told by a lot of people "You just don't want it enough" and "You're not willing to make the lifestyle changes" and all…

Gorgeous! And your dog is so cute! :happy:

LMAO!!! Agreed! :laugh:

I'm so sorry that happened! What is it with people?? I went to pick up a prescription once and the pharmacist goes "When are you due?" I said "Due for what?" And she goes "Your baby." Umm... not pregnant, and you're filling my freaking birth control prescription!!!! It was over a high counter too and so many people were…

Yes, someone finally mentioned Duck Hunt for Nintendo! Also, my very first cassette tape - Ace of Base. Gotta love those Swedes! Or, how about all the boy bands? Hanson, Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC, 98 Degrees, etc.? ::swoon:: :heart: My day started off really, really badly... thank you all for making it a million times…

Ugh, I'm a HUGE binge eater - especially when my emotions com into play. It's a vicious cycle, but just know - YOU lost the weight and YOU proved to yourself that you could do it. Screw anyone who tries to put you down for that. If they don't notice, psh.. tough noogies for them. YOU are amazing and I agree with the others…

Oh man, i'm so sorry you're in so much pain! Sadly, i can't relate on the mouth pain level, but I have IBS and sometimes it gets to an extreme level. The only thing I can recommend (if you don't want to mess with your meds) is to drink a TON of water. My docs always tell me to drink lots and lots of it to help... soften up…

LOL!!!!!:laugh: Awesome. I completely agree. :happy:

You look amazing!!! Psh - i totally see a difference. You were already gorgeous, but good for you! (btw - i LOVE your shoes in the "after" pics!) Keep up the fantastic work! :flowerforyou:

I do the same thing. Instead of changing my eating habits, it's like "oh, well i can still eat crap as long as it fits in with my calories". It's just being lazy and not making a lifestyle change. I'm so guilty of this!!!! It just takes time, you may keep losing but then when it comes time to maintain your weight, you'll…

:noway: Holy cow!!! Amazing job - you look gorgeous! :flowerforyou: Great job! You're an inspiration!

BUMP!!! This sounds delicious!!! :happy:

You look gorgeous!!! I am so sick of people (even doctors) telling me there's no way to get to my goal weight due to how heavy I was. You have proven that there's no such thing as impossible. Good for you!!! You're truly inspiring and thank you for sharing your journey! :flowerforyou:

BUMP! I definitely need higher protein and lower sodium :ohwell:

^^ LOVE this!!! :laugh:

Very cute! I could never pull off a style like that. And that's awesome that you donated it! I did it years and years ago (roughly 17 inches) and it's so rewarding knowing you're helping someone else. Good for you! :flowerforyou:

I don't know if this will help you, but I have a couple blood clots (DVT's) in my right leg from my groin area to my knee. Doc told me absolutely NOTHING high impact, so I do a recumbent bike for my cardio. I've also just incorporated strength training as well. I don't use my hand weights yet, so soup cans work for me!…

Definitely seafood - ick. And MUSHROOMS! Know what they are? Fungus! Know where else fungus can grow? Feet! I hate feet too! (i know, i'm weird - leave me alone, LOL) :tongue:

You'd be the last one standing in a horror movie. :laugh: (Now THAT'S a riot because i bet i'd be the first to die, LOL!)

Ugh, i know the feeling. I'm in a similar situation - i'm sick of putting forth all the effort. So, now i'm saying screw it, i'm done. Time to move on and find someone worth my time! You should definitely do the same because you deserve SO much better :wink: Good Luck!

Nope. I make myself accountable for the good, the bad, and the waaaayyyyy ugly. In truth, having MFP friends is good because I know I'll get called out if I start screwing around. I love having the support and motivation (aka kick-in-the-butt) i need to stay accountable. :bigsmile:

LOL!!!!!!!! Awesome :drinker:

You look beautiful! And your legs look absolutely stunning! Keep up the great job - you're a great inspiration! :flowerforyou:

BUMP! :bigsmile: This sounds amazing! Thank you! Perfect for Thanksgiving - grandma ALWAYS comments on my weight...

^^ This! And milkshakes! I'm an ice cream & cheesecake addict :bigsmile:
