I'm saving my cals for this over the weekend! I cannot waitttt

I heard, too, about the life expectancy! I was so surprised! I think it's a big combination of things. Women aren't staying home anymore, preparing meals. Because of the economy, no one has the time. It's all processed/fast foods because they are cheap and convenient. I've been saying for so long - make eating healthy…

Amazing! You look fantastic good job!

Good I'm glad to hear it!

I read a thread yesterday where a woman complained because her mother in law OVER complimented her. Can you believe it? Complained about it!

I Love my hubby to death but I learned early on in our relationship that he does NOT know how to give a compliment. His parents never complimented him or one another and it doesn't come naturally to him. He's a good guy and he supports me in other ways (waiting patiently while I check the ingredients in every food before I…

Log everything and be patient! Also, make it a lifestyle change, NOT a diet. This is the new you!

I had to commit to "no alcohol for the first month" even though I had 4 great tasting beers sitting my fridge. I did that to get the idea of "I NEED a beer/glass of wine at the end of the day" out of my head. Now it's a treat (I had sangria this weekend. My first post 1-month drink. Delicious). I think swapping is a good…

I'm having the same problem. I'm going to grab some whole wheat pasta and add it to my turkey/veggie lunch. Great suggestion!

^ I'm with you here I dont see the problem at ALL. Your MIL complimented you! Repeatedly! Take it and be thankful you have a MIL who compliments LOL

I buy the butterball turkey strips that are already cooked (2 small boxes). I steam 2 medium size bags of frozen veggies, mix the turkey in then squeeze a fresh lemon on it and add some garlic. For me its delicious and convenient. Also I only spend $10 and it feeds me for the week.

Right. All the woman needed to say was "Is there anything I can help you with?" Customers do not need unsolicited advice being pushed at them when they are browsing clothes! When I go shopping for my hubby should I be pushed out of the men's section because I'm a woman and don't wear men's clothes?? No!

Lmaoooo I was like whoa this topic is apparently still alive and moving and the OP isnt even on this!!!!

the "above you" threads are primarily married people who want to be told they're hot ^LOL

When the green tea craze first started a few years ago my best friend at the time told me "Drink this and you will lose weight" and she became obsessed with everything green tea. Will it make you lose weight? No, but I do try to add a cup in a day and count it towards my water intake. But I like it - dont drink it if you…

Yeah but he is saying "I dont like the way you look, im disappointed in you now go put on some lingerie" So you can see why she isnt running to Victoria Secret for him. Now if he said "you're losing so much weight you look so hot and you really turn me on. Let's go buy something sexy" Don't you think he wouldve gotten what…

Yes! I read that and was like OK I definitely cant respond to this because yes I will bash a man who makes it clear to his heavy-set WIFE he doesnt like heavy women. God help my husband if he even tries to disrespect me like that.

LOL same here! I said just show up and smile! And we had a great night. To all those people who say "it's just a piece of paper" : marriage means a lot to some people for a bunch of different reasons, so don't downplay it just because you chose not to do it. I find that so annoying!

A friend of my sister's got the surgery and the same thing happened to him (he went from "Wow you lost so much weight!!!" to "Didnt he have that surgery? Why is he fat again?"). I agree - the follow up is extremely important and should be pushed! Good luck - you can do this!

21 pounds is awesome! I'll send you a friend request - we can all use some motivation.

This is the great debate!! I use splenda because it's everywhere so it's convenient and I like the taste. I know a ton of people will tell me it's bad (and I don't disagree with them) but for now i'm letting myself have 1 a day with my coffee. It works for me.

I was impatient but the time does go fast I promise! Started about a month ago....was very impatient. But before I knew it one day I turned around and i'm 7 pounds lighter! Can't wait to hit 10 pounds but i've learned patience.

What a great idea! Go you!

My co worker ordered a bunch of Pizza for lunch. I declined and stuck to my salad. Win!

This happened to me! 2 weeks went by, no loss on the scale. All of a sudden on the 3rd week I dropped 3 pounds.

Ohh. Interesting. Thanks!

Oh! Well thats that! LOL thanks.

I am so interested in different religions (ironically, i'm an atheist but I still find different religions and cultures fascinating). I once heard that Jehova's Witnesses feel that all non-Jehova's are doomed to "hell" and therefore do not matter. So they don't really associate/befriend anyone who is non Jehova because…

love this

This is another concern! The hubby is driving b/c I am a terrible driver. There will be sangria at the party - my downfall. So I am going to allow myself 2 glasses of sangria and that's it. I am DEF working out before I go.
