I want my girls to be happy in what they're wearing, and I'm not a dictator by any means - it really doesn't mean that much to me what they wear. But it means a lot to me if they're happy and comfortable in it. We're doing a destination wedding, so I'll leave the fabric choice up to them. So... I told them to wear their…

I agree with you too - you don't want to completely cheap out. But you probably also don't want to serve a 7 course meal (unless your budget can afford it, and you like that kind of thing!) We're having a destination wedding and we've decided on hiring the local soft-taco stand to cater our wedding (in addition to apps…

Thanks for spreading the word and explaining! It terrifies me how quickly they can get this. We just recently went through this scare with our own kitty, after acute kidney failure from a medication she was prescribed (metacam). She stopped eating on her own for several weeks.

Came here to say this. I'm not a vet, but used to work for one. Cats can get what's called hepatic lipidosis if they do not eat - sometimes it can come on after not having eaten for just a day or two. It causes fat to build up in the liver and the liver stops working. It has a very high mortality rate. Make sure you get…

Great outlook Scott! It's no wonder you have been so successful! Thanks for sharing.

What a difference! You are beautiful in both pictures, but you hardly look like the same person!

Congrats!! Very inspiring, you look fantastic!!! I'm hoping for a very similar result myself - getting married in May.

I've been there. You need to leave. They don't change. When you leave, he will tell you he'll change, he'll be a better man, go to counselling etc. But trust me, they don't change. He has issues that he needs to work out on his own. You can't help him, or you will end up in a box. (I'm sorry to be blunt, but this is where…

A bunch of people already posted about the brown sugar, but thought I'd add a trick I learned from my mom - you can mix molasses and regular sugar together to make brown sugar. Molasses lasts a really long time in the pantry, and is cheap. Make as much or as little as you want and not worry about it getting hard. The more…

I love bananas, and protein bars. Easy and filling!

Great job, you look fantastic!!!!!

I got a plastic ring guard from a jewelry shop - various size pack for $7. My next step when it gets a little bigger is to get this http://viewithere.com/ring_guard Good luck and congrats!

I don't do cheat days. I'm not against them, but for me it's a slippery slope. Instead, I incorporate things I love into my daily food. I really love peanut butter and chocolate. So I have a peanut butter and chocolate protein bar (or meal replacement bar) almost every morning. I bought PB2, to mix into things. I also love…

Feel free to add me too! I'm 196 (SW 210). Goal weights are: Initial goal weight: 175 Second goal weight: 150 Final goal weight: 130 (but these are flexible - I'm more about what is achievable and feels/looks healthy).

Thanks and bump!

Just log it, learn from it and move on. Don't dwell on it. I get bingy too. I try to avoid it by drinking lots of water and eating regularly. I find I binge if I wait too long to eat (usually because of work and not being able to take my lunch break on time). Don't punish yourself or overdo it, but go back to eating well…

bump for later, thanks for sharing!

Great choice Lizzie! I think you might just have more willpower than me :)

Also bump to read later!

Here you go: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/apps/show/fitbit I'm working my way towards one as a reward :)

This! I personally don't believe that a labelled "diet" is always the key to success. It may help people to start, but I believe it is more of a personal choice. Calories in vs. calories out is the way to go, IMHO :)

What a difference!!! Your hard work is definitely paying off. Congratulations :)

Don't be sorry - I don't really know either, but was trying to fix to help. LOL. I'm sure I would've messed it up more. I'm convinced it takes magic to post pics here!

That's fantastic!!!! That's a huge difference! Go girl! Edit - removed the quote because your pic was fixed :)

My personal favorite is Crispy Minis Crunchy Dill - they're only 90 calories for 12 of them, and they seriously do not taste like rice cakes in the least. So much dill and crunch!

Bump - thanks for sharing!

Interesting - thanks for sharing! Bump for later!

Semi-newbie here. Don't let it overwhelm you! What I like to do is try to make things easier for "future me". So I find easy to make recipes that I can prepare ahead, that use simple ingredients. I eat salads for lunch, with cottage cheese mixed in for bulk and protein. I use websites like skinnytaste.com - check out this…

Bump - thanks for sharing!

haha! Scott, you are hilarious! Keep up the great attitude, and thanks for the morning laugh!
