Wow!

Love your story, love your attitude, love how you write!! Well done! Wishing you tons of success and happiness :)

I'm 5'10 (and a half!!). Started at 213lbs. Spent a year on MFP getting down to 173lbs. I have maintained this weight for a little over year, and am now getting back on track to lose a final 10-15lbs. Good luck! This site is a huge help!

The cardio machines at my gym are lined up along a window that overlooks the pool. Some evenings a mid-aged, slightly overweight man will swim laps.... in a thong. It's kind of horrific; you can't not look at it. But it's also funny to watch the other people on the cardio machines... you can see the moment on their faces…

A few tips from a (non-competitive) swimming instructor: 1. kick from the hip. Keep your splashes as under-water as possible and don't bend your knees like crazy; just keep your knees soft. 2.

So THIS is where you ladies have been hiding! With all the people on here losing weight for their partners and children, I was starting to wonder if I was the last single girl around. Love this thread :)

haha! :)

I feel ya! It can be totally intimidating. But when I get embarassed or self-conscious, I like to remember a line I once heard on Dr. Phil: "You wouldn't care so much what people thought about you, if you knew how seldom they did." Usually helps put things into perspective for me. The others in the class are all too busy…

When there are 10 cardio machines available all in a row, with equal access to TVs and fans... and somebody hops on the one right beside you. I understand there are rules for guys about not peeing in a urinal right next to someone. I would like similar rules to be adpated to the gym....

Thanks for all the suggestions. I made this last night and it was pretty good...

sounds awesome. Thanks!

This recipe is amazing. Curbed my craving for pumpkin pie and whipped cream, and anything involving layers makes me feel like a rockstar baker.

I agree that quality coffee is a must. Also, if sugar is your concern and not fat, I put 2 tablespoons of 10% blend cream which really cuts the bitterness.

I confess that I'm eating licorice right now as read all of your confessions....

I am in LOVE with Astro Vanilla Natural Balkan Yogurt, with blueberries, raspberries, and All Bran Buds. Mmm... tastes like dessert, but healthy and keeps me full.

Thanks everyone!
