well done! You can really see it in your face for sure!!!

I'm 5'1. And I just have to say - there is nothing better than a tall guy with muscular arms. ;)

I just looked at your pictures and that is not true! there is certainly a difference!

Ugh. I can't stop rolling my eyes at the ridiculous use of the current buzzword, bullying.

made this yesterday! I added a smidge more salt than it called for. Also added a little bit of lemon juice at the end. It was great! I know this says to serve warm, but I really like this cold! I put it on my sandwich and it was fabulous. Gave my sammie a little kick. Great recipe!

bump! Have my broccoli in the fridge. Can't wait to try this!

For those that have made this, when you cut up your broccoli, do you use the stalks and everything? I have my broccoli cooking right now and I figured since I was going to be blending it all up anyway, might as well use the stalks. Should I have just used to tops??

I have an Acura MDX (touring edition. Blue with black interior) and my husband has an Acura TL (with the technology package. Black on black and chromed out). Love both of our cars. When I get a new car, I'll probably get another MDX, or maybe a Benz. Same with hubby - either another TL or an E Class.

are you really asking if you should continue on the right track??

Your stepdad sounds like an a-hole. What kind of guy says those kinds of things to his stepdaughter. Obviously he can tell that you are doing well and is trying to bring you down and make you fail. Him making you feel small makes him feel big. It's sad, really. Instead of crying, just realize how pathetic he is. You're a…

I like subway, however it is loaded with sodium. (Though I'm not going to hiss and say you're going to die. lol). I am always puffy in the morning after I eat subway because, inevitably, I always go over my sodium levels for the day due to that one meal.

Just tell her to STFU and that if she doesn't like it at home, then to quit coming home. If she starts to get all mouthy, just stick your hand up and be all - you're being annoying. Stop. Seriously. Annoying. This is what I'm talking about. Annnnooooyyyiiiinnnngggg. Just keep doing it over and over. She'll finally get the…

Thanks so much, everyone! :)

The way I use my BMF is a little different than you, but this is what I do - I log my food into My fitness pal. I don't add any exercise stuff in that webiste. I view everythign on my Body media fit page. It syncs over my food and then I look at my net deficit there. I am for a 1000 calorie deficit per day to lose 2 pounds…

I call BS. I looked at your pictures. Guaranteed it happens. ;)

Thanks for the recipe! I wouldn't have thought to add basil. Do you use frozen or fresh broccoli? When you add a reply, it bumps the thread to the top of the category it's in. (So, it would be at the top of the "recipes" category). So, rather than having to look back a few pages, if you reply to it, it "bumps" it back up…

I had my thyroid checked about 2 years ago (along with a ton of other blood work like cholesterol, pre-diabetes, etc) and everything came back perfect. Should I go have it checked again, or since it was fine 2 years ago, that's probably not the issue?

"All I knew was cardio cardio cardio and DON'T TOUCH THAT FOOD!" This is me right now! I feel like I don't know what to do half the time! How much do I eat? How much is too much? Ugh....

Re - sodium -OMG YES! I almost died when I saw how much sodium was in my subway yesterday. What the heck!!! It was a freaking sandwich!!

Thanks so much for the replies. I think I will go to the doctor just to see if she has anything else to say. I have low iron and have a script for iron pills. I am on the Mirena (year 3) so going off the pill isn't a factor. It sounds like maybe I do need to up my calories. How do I know for sure? I am eating back most of…

I don't like it. It's nice for them to be supportive, but to be able to see everything I do and eat and say.... It's hard enough for me to lose weight. I don't need to be even more self conscious about it.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Mirena! It's seriously the best thing ever. I have a period every couple months and it's so super light. Don't be scared!

My sister has lost a TON of weight doing Jazzercise! So much in fact that she decided to become an instructor. She is seriously tiny now. They don't have a jazzercise center anywhere close to me, but I love doing it when I go to Texas to visit her. I'm always all sweaty and stuff at the end. She said that as instructors…

Yep! I do this, too! The smaller plate thing really helps a lot. I hadn't thought about using chopsticks. That's a good idea! I know for me, I love that "FULL' feeling you get when you eat someting heavy like chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes. I think it's just one of those things that's going to take a really long…

Does this not seem bizzare to anyone else?? My husband knows all my passwords and I know all his, however if I KNEW he was going through everything I did, I would be seriously unhappy. Logging on to Facebook or email every once in a while out of curiousity and/or to see what's been going on? Ok. Cool. Going through…

Married with 3 kids. We have been together since junior year in high school, so 16 years now. :) Neither of us are the jealous types. He wants to be with me or he doesn't. Message boards don't make people have affairs. Facebook don't make people have affairs. If a guy is going to flirt/cheat and/or act inappropriate…

Ditto! If this kind of thing makes you jealous or whatever, then there are other issues going on in your marriage that you need to address. If you truly don't have any marital problems, then you need to work on your OWN self confidence. I'm confident enough in myself that I couldn't care less if my husband posted something…

Ditto!! Put some "real" pictures of yourself on your profile and then send some messages out. Then you will know if someone is truly interested and not just a superficial *kitten*. I also would rather someone just not reply rather than sending me a message back saying they are not interested.

I hear ya! Vengeance is a good motivator. Whatever works, right?

Could that family picture be any more adorable?? I don't think so! You look fantastic! Great work. :)
