  • He felt crappy because he WAS trying to help me. I will make it right tonight.
  • it wasnt public (thank GOD!)...it was just us. No one else.
  • I appreciate all the respones. Even the mean ones. :) Sometimes "mean" is what we need I guess. I will make it up to him tonight...in the best way(s) possible. Thanks everyone.
  • 35 in *gulp* 5 days. But I just tell people I'm 29. Again!
  • great idea! Thanks!
  • So if I log my weight it'll show a 10 lbs increase...but its for the better good? UGH. I guess its a step in keeping myself honest. But I cant say I'm not SAD about it!
  • Welcome!
  • Totally! I think support (and peer accountability!) make a HUGE difference!
  • Wow...this exact scenario is one of my biggest fears with losing weight. I've been with my husband for 11 years...and in the beginning we weren't AS overweight as we are now (I was pretty overweight but an easy 60lbs less than I am now and he is more than 100 lbs heavier now than back then). Anyway, I don't think I'm a…
  • I'm also looking for fun and motivated friends! I'll send a request. I'm 34 and have a goal to lose 100 lbs. I think the motivation and encouragement found through this website are incredible! You can do it (and so can I!).
  • Wow...GREAT information everyone!!! I think before I take ANY otc supplements I'll have to clear it with my Doctor (no thyroid, had it removed a few months back). So I'm not sure what I can take or what I should avoid (other than Soy). That being said, I really like the water intake and lotion advise. Although, the cream…
  • Oh boy, my genetics are NOT great. BUT, I'd rather be flabby and thin than have it all stretched out like this! Thanks everyone! I need to find out what MSM is. I desperately need to make a day trip to the local GNC and learn about what I should and shouldnt take. :smile:
  • ME! Born in Chehalis, currently living in Tacoma! :happy:
  • I'm there with you girl! I'll send a request and we can motivate each other.
  • Welcome. :smile: I'm fairly new, but I'm trying to be really involved with this program as I am in DIRE need of motivational support and accountability. Feel free to add me as a friend!
  • WOW! I have the SAME problem! I started getting migraines in 2nd grade. They've eased up a bit since I entered my 30's. But still when I get them I get hit HARD and i crave salty carbs. Namely, cheetos and a coke. :huh: But its wierd because i honestly think it helps. Or I guess it COULD be the meds kicking in :smile:…
  • :smile: hey there! I'm ALSO looking for support! I think its something we are all looking for. I'm going to add you! :smile:
  • Im right there with you! This is my first try with MFP, so far so good I'm 5 lbs down. :happy: I have some unique challenges BUT I still think reaching a healthy weight (and better self image) is attainable! Actually...I have a good self image. I think thats whats sort of gotten me INTO this mess. I just dont SEE a girl…
  • What is "C25K"? I'm just trying to eat balanced meals (and avoid my trigger foods like taquitos at 7-11) and I walk every day at work for my lunch break with my friend. I have a desk job so unfortunatly I'm pretty sedentary. :frown: I'm going to do TJ tonight. We could help each stay accountable! Good luck to you too!…
  • HI! I'm in Parkland! We are practically neighbors! :) Im 34, married, two boys (9 and 13). I have just steadily gained weight since having my first son when i was 22. I'm 5'7" I was 150 lbs before kids, now i'm up to 270 (scratch that, after todays weigh in i'm 268). I recently had my entire thyroid removed because of…
  • Hi everyone! I'm originally from the Chehalis area, did a stint in Fairbanks AK, and currently live in Parkland WA (near Tacoma). I'm hoping to meet and connect with people in my area and hopefully encourage each other to meet out goals! I am BRAND NEW to this site so I'm not entirely sure what to expect. But I will say it…
