Wow. With all these comments, it's no wonder some people wake up disappointed that they didn't die in their sleep. I'm one of those people. I don't venture out of the house unless I need to, try to work out during off-hours and hide behind bulky clothes. Regarding the OP - the 'sister-in-law' is just plain awful as a human…

Weight Watchers. Under $50 and pretty accurate.

Why do the pens at the bank never work? Is it because they are tied down and lose the will to write? Why is it that one encounters every single red light when they are running late for an appointment?

I've had pretty good luck with the Truvia Baking Blend. It's about $6-7 for a somewhat big bag and you use maybe half the amount you would normally use sugar in a recipe. No one seemed to notice the difference in taste or texture.

You're not alone regarding your sister. My sister also despises overweight folks and lets it be known. She is very fit and trim - she just boasted to me that she got rid of her muffin top with Jillian Michaels. She used to smoke and now gets pious with people who smoke. But I wouldn't trade places with her for anything.…

Completely agree. Truth is that losing the weight will be harder without the support of your family but you can do it! Try to ignore the noise coming from them. And... withhold the whoopie. :devil:

Both. Can't make my grandma's deviled egg potato salad without the Miracle Whip (and a pound of thick sliced bacon). Love dipping french fries with Hellman's. Light Olive Oil mayo is so incredible with turkey and swiss on whole grain.

Corvallis!

Kudos to you for getting to the gym!! That's the first and hardest hurdle to step in the door. Don't worry about the other people in the gym - they should be focusing on their own workouts. If they aren't, they are a waste of time and air. Have fun being awesome at the gym.

I can't really tell you about the price around Munich but that seems about right for food costs for average to nicer restaurants near Hanover where my in-laws live. The hubby and I would go to the cafes and even hit food carts for really tasty inexpensive eats when we were out. Curry wurst is so yummy. The breads, cheeses…

Haven't smoked a cigarette since Christmas - bought a e-cig as a gift to myself. I feel so much better and have been complimented on my skin tone. I've even cut down on the e-cig. There have been days that I never used it. Sure - I'm having problems losing weight but I take into consideration that I haven't worked since…

I use the rice cooker to make quinoa - use the same proportions to cook it as rice.. ie. 1 cup quinoa with 2 cups water... I use the quinoa to make veggie burgers (http://allrecipes.com/recipe/quinoa-black-bean-burgers/detail.aspx) - these are delicious! The carnivore hubby actually likes them.

^^ this! Everyone has their own likes and dislikes so you have to find out for yourself. I hate kale but I do throw a leaf into a smoothie to hide the taste. Love persimmons - they are like a cross between an apple and a tomato. I can eat blackberries like popcorn. Can't stand most leafy greens. So you'll likely have…

What do you find inside a clean nose? Fingerprints Sadly, that's my best.

Totally feel your pain (as I'm staring back at a pan of nutella brownies). Trying to clean out the cupboard of sweets and ingredients so we transition to low carb / diabetic friendly. I used to pack extra in my kid's lunch box so she can share with her classmates. There are a couple kids in her class whose only hot meal is…

I generally stick to the bulk foods and produce section. The deli is insanely expensive.

Torrid is pretty good. Lane Bryant is hit or miss. Eddie Bauer is great for office gear.

Osterizer. I've got 2 of them - they were given to me by my parents and are probably older than me (40s). They still work great. Just priced them online - they aren't more than $40.

Yeah!! Congrats!! :smile:

Congratulations on this wonderful milestone! Absolutely count this as NSV - check your blood pressure and blood sugar. If these numbers improved, that's another victory for you.

You are going to need a young priest and and old priest.

Can I ask what your normal blood sugar 2 hours after a meal is? Very interested in learning more about nopales - my BG is out of control.

<<taking notes>> On a serious note: copied the original post and pinned it on my work corkboard. I need these as daily reminders as I fell off the wagon again.

Well I'm not buying this bogus witchcraft you speak of. What has worked best for me is eating shrimp and grits that were in the fridge a couple days too long, waiting 24-48 hours and barfing my guts out twice by the side of the interstate when returning from a company potluck. Sure the room is spinning for a couple of days…

Ehow has some articles on exercising while sitting down. Google "exercising while sitting". You can do a variety of things with a couple of 5 pound weights. Go see another doctor who won't ignore your concerns.

Holy smokies this thread slayed me. Farts that smell like what I just ate are the worst. I have a love hate relationship with mixed veggie cream cheese for this reason.

Do you consider kettle corn dessert? I make coconut kettle corn with: 1/4 cup coconut oil 1/3 cup popcorn 1 tsp sugar It does have a strong coconut taste to it. Doesn't bother me - love the stuff.
-
That's awesome!

Never. Again. with. Metamucil. I was worried I wasn't getting enough fiber so I had some (according to instructions) for the past two days. It's been a constant pain in the lower gut. I've guzzled water, taken olive oil straight, drank hot drinks, and moved around to get things going in the GI. Ugh. Really bummed -…
