Go for it. I hesitantly agreed to a blind "fix-up" 2 1/2 years ago. My hesitation was mainly because I had put on about 30 lbs and felt self conscious, but I went anyway. When I first saw him I literally thought to myself..."surely THAT is not for me!" He was a hottie and I just knew that he wouldn't be interested in me. I…

Agreed! :happy:

My favorites: Leftovers from night before (because you can measure and control portions at home,) Progresso soups (lots of varieties--filling and low calorie,) Healthy Choice cafe steamers (a little better than the regular frozen dinners if you ask me,) If I have to go out, Wendy's chili with saltines, McDonald's southwest…

It's days like this when I am glad I found MFP. Before, if I had a bad day, it would turn into a bad week and then I would completely derail.

Smirnoff Ice 228 calories per bottle. :sad:

My Australian Shepherd mix was "herding" a mouse she caught in the yard. It would run away, she would follow, catch it and carry it in her mouth by its tail back to the "corral" (which was really the sandbox under the swingset.) I laughed all day.:laugh:

I do, but I have to see the new number three days in a row before I record a change. Ahh, the mind games we play! :-)

Obvious?

You can DEFINITELY see it! Look closely at your before and after pictures...your whole upper body is so much smaller! And trust me, as someone who has "linebacker" issues, I would know! You're doing great!!! Give yourself a pat on the back!
