I am on day 12 of Bright Line Eating, and am having a pretty good time of it. Would like to connect with others doing the same program. Just bought the book, not interested in investing in the Boot Camp. My daughter lost about 40 lbs on this and a year later has kept it all off.

I am about to start this Bright Lines Eating program...second kick at the diet can. Hope this one is different! I have about 40 lbs of medication induced weight gain to lose.

Approaching the 200 lbs mark on the scale + having a harder time stretching & exercising.

Still together... I knew we should be together after we were married for seven years and had our first child. Going on 20 years now.

Yup, that would be me.

If you are Bulgarian, you have soup for breakfast. Never too early...

Well, since you asked... I am leaning hard on my spiritual traditions (Eastern Orthodox). To prepare for Xmas, we go off dairy, eggs and meat. So I find it a little easier to avoid most Xmas treats. Of course, we also are supposed to fast from offending folks, so if someone gives me something directly, I will take some,…

After years and years of having to work nights, I think I can say, "no." Interrupted sleep is a major cause of weight gain, partly because the body seeks more calories to offset fatigue, and one's resistance (to temptation) is lowered. If you must eat more, try doing so within reason... But...I think I just saw you are…

Yes.

I second that emotion.

Drunk food... I have just learned a new concept. I am a teetotalling skinny pig, but if I were to consume, say a teaspoon or two of very strong wine, I wonder if my soba noodles would qualify as drunk food. Oh dear, I forgot that I am physicaly unable to vomit. Yet another thing that keeps me from the cool kids... Sigh.

Not a rodent, no, although I have met many fine ones. I am a cavvy, a skinny pig, a hairless guinea pig.

Oops, must now rate faceoff4. What can I say? He is a gentleman's gentleman. His sportsmanship is exceeded only by his penalty minutes. Faceoff4? I think not. Face off 10 more like. He has a splendid sense of style, at once sylvan and yet arrestingly comfortable. He inspires confidence. He does not despise cavvies like me,…

The exquisite Ms Andrea Ellen (if such is really her name) is a person of the highest quality. I am compelled to give her a 9... 3 for beauty, 3 for intelligence, 3 for purity of spirit. Ah, yes, dear MFP friends, you may be inclined to judge her alone on her appearance, but I caution you against this. She shows kindness…

We so need seven words.

I love soba noodles. They are delicious. Cats love me. I am delicious, as you can see from my profile picture. Hungry crows also fancy me, but my tastes are decidely feline. If you want the BESTEST ode ever written to a cat, google Christopher Smart's Jubilate Agno, "For I will consider my cat Jeffrey..." With love from…

Hmmmm...... Do you have any interests that could get you out among people? Bollywood dancing? Mixed Martial arts? Creative ceramic tiling? Tatting? Sorting food for the food bank? Photography? Contemporary Christian Martyrdom? Learning to speak Tagalog, or to cook excellent samosas? Beer making? Artisanal joint rolling?…

Big bag carrots $4 Cabbage $2 Oatmeal $4 Mori-nu tofu x 2 pkgs $6 frozen berries (good one!) $5 multigrain bread $3 peanut butter $3 Tuna $2 eggs $1 I am assuming the pantry contains some vinegar, soy sauce and olives...and some kind of oil, perhaps some flour. The following week I would buy some noodles and the week…

Skinny Pig!

I am a part time vegan -- about 6 months of the year I am vegan, about 2 months ovo-lacto vegetarian and 4 months omnivore. Veganism is great! No you don't need protein pills, with or without fish.

Ok, ok... So these are two very separate questions. How long until I knew this one was the one I wanted to be with? Ummm.... I have known it off and on for the last 20 years. We have been married 19.

I would like to see more pictures of skinny pigs eating soba noodles.

No problem. I am so with you.

So good to know I am not alone.

So good to know I am not alone.

As you can see, I am a cosmopolipig: I love soba noodles. I am generous and have a beautiful singing voice. I am a little pear shaped and bald, but I have a winning personality. No one night stands please. Reject me if you must, but I say MARRY ME!

As a purely Canadian skinny pig, I certainly do smug superiority better. :happy:

YAY! I want to want to run.

Give yourself a year, for heaven's sake. It took you about that long to get to term. All best. P.S. Are you nursing your little one? That should make about, hmmm.... 400 calories a day difference.

Right, here I am. Now I can say, in reply... I hadn't realized that sexual pleasure was only for the pretty. My bad.
