That is both awesome and sweet!!!

50 First Dates :laugh:

That is amazing!!! Congrats to you!!!

lol....I must have the same kind you have!!

"You live in Missouri, the Ozarks?" "Are hillbillies real?" My reply....a resounding YES!!!! Those postcards that you see about the Ozark hillbillies...well, they are real. I moved here from Texas and will not ever say "you'uns". Also, I pronouce it Missouri, not Missoura. It has a darned "i" at the end, not an "a", lol.

{{{hugs}}} to you! I feel your exasperation and I think many of us get weepy at times, for sure us women and for sure during a certain time of the month for me, lol. You are doing great!!! As someone else said, she had a lot more to lose, so will lose it quicker here at the beginning, but she will eventually hit that…

I am the same way. I like to walk at a fast pace alone, not having to talk to anyone and being able to just think. Like you, I would wonder how to kindly turn the neighbor down.

I have kind of run into that with dating also. I have paid for some dinners, drinks, etc, especially when they hint about being broke and then I feel guilty for costing them any money. Ugh. And, I don't make much money myself at all as a single mom. I did go out with one though who wanted to buy me whatever I wanted in KC…

I like peanut butter also, but have found a couple other things that are high in protien that I also enjoy. I really like the Weight Watchers mazzarella sticks, along with the Greek Yogart. I am not a milk drinker so these things also provide some calcium.

I am so sorry for you and applaud you on your weight loss and the effort you are making. My situation is different, but I would be in the same boat as you if I could not get insurance through my employer. I am a cancer survivor and the radiation harmed my heart valves so have a mechanical aortic valve. Both things would…

My heaviest was 175-180 and my current weight is 137-140. My goal is 130 and a boob job :happy:

You look incredible!!! I have lost several pounds too but my boobs have dissapeared with the loss, lol. So not fair! We really should be able to pick what areas lose the weight. Congrats on such a great job!!!

lol...give it time bikermike...give it time :laugh:

I think the letter you wrote is wonderful and very thoughtful on your part.

As someone who suffered bulemia for several years, I know where you are coming from. I still struggle with bad body image. My counselor told me to journal my feelings, especially at the times I wanted to binge and throw up. My heart goes out to anyone with eating disorders of any kind because many times we face them alone…

You are in great company here!!! I am thinking that the majority of us have started this trip of better health and fallen many times; sometimes getting back up quickly, sometimes not so quickly. Hang in there and I don't know you, but proud of you.

I ballooned up while pregnant with my first and I had been 115-120 before that. I gained 75 lbs with her. I did better with my next two and it may have helped that I craved watermelon while pregnant with them and went through watermelon like crazy. I do have stretch marks which are discouraging but I am actually in better…

I drink a lot of water too so just walk around with my legs crossed, lol. I have the same problem, but guess it is a good problem to have as it shows we are flushing toxins from our bodies maybe?

For one thing, you have done WONDERFUL with your weight loss!!!! I found that I kind of liked doing 15 minutes on the elliptical and then 15 on the treadmill. I am assuming you are going to a gym. I enjoyed spinning classes also, along with a class called "Sculpt and Burn". This is at our local Y. I get bored with one…

Good idea!!!! You have done, and ARE doing awesome, incredible, amazing!!!

Shoot...I am at 137 exactly (was up to 175-180 years ago). I would LOVE to at least get down to 130 but maybe that is still fat based on this survey??? Actually, I would love to get to 125 but worried I will have no boobs left at all by the time I got to that..haha :laugh:

Wow...never heard of a deep fried cheesburger before but have seen where so many things are now deep fried. I think it is cool that you took em on and did it :drinker: You go girl!!! Just looking at the darned thing would make me gain 5 lbs, lol. I am dating a guy who can eat any darned thing he wants and not gain a pound.…

A pearl white 2009 Nissan Altima coupe...love it! Goodby mommy van :tongue:

I know you are very right on this. My situation is a little different in that I am recently divorced from a man I still very much love. He still plays with my emotions via text messages and phone calls. He knows it hurts me. You are right that I give him power in my tears and hurt. He seems to find some kind of sick joy in…

I agree with you here. Now...if I had a great, hot body...I might post in my underwear, lol. Waiting to get rich and get that boob job though.

I agree! Crazy huh!

That is great!!! You have so much to be proud of!

lol...I would have to click on that article too! Don't have any to share off the top of my head.
