I have not personally experienced it but I have seen both sides of this equation. At work, I had a lady feeling the same way as you. She started weight watchers and instantly became their poster child. OMG! She was having amazing success and her results showed right away. She was a kind person and did not mean any harm,…

I would almost always have my juice for breakfast, with some sort of protein. Recently, I have been doing more smoothies than juice because I noticed with juice, I needed more fruit to make it palatable. With smoothies, I can add way more veggies without gagging at the taste. I use spinach, frozen broccoli, cucumbers, etc.…

I totally agree...can't think of any scenario. Yes, predators and con artists groom people but how much grooming and "conning" can be done in that short period of time? This was almost immediate. It seems she would have handed that child over to anyone, so if it wasn't this creep, it probably would have been another. God…

What kind of charges is the mom facing? Being "suckered" is knowing someone, trusting someone in your life like coaches, church and family members and teachers then they turn out to be monsters. But to hand your child over to a stranger? She didn't get suckered, she was a participant and she is responsible as well.

Nicely done! Congrats!

Hahahahaha! Dude got defensive real quick, didn't he??? That's how it usually is though. Oh well....

Coatesville, PA (Chester County)......gag :(

We did not elope, but had a destination wedding on the beach in Hawaii. We sent announcements but did not "invite" anyone except our parents, my Godmother and my husband's best friend of 30 years. We weren't interested in anyone else being there....Do what makes you happy; however, make sure you spend more time planning…

Same here! I drink a "HULK" smoothie everyday... cucumber, green apple, kiwi, spinach, frozen broccoli, and banana. I could not choke that down as breakfast each day in whole form...oh, and with a side of boiled egg whites. Bottom line...juicing and smoothies are not for everyone. Its so weird that people act like they…

Fabulous job!

Akron in the house!!

Hello :) Where are you from? I've never heard of most of the things in your diary.

Congrats!

Yes, I had some pretty good success with low carb diets. I was never hungry, I felt great and ate good food. Not bricks of cheese and mounds of bacon like some people envision. I didn’t follow Atkins, just my own common sense LC version. I did gain the weight back but not because I ate a carb but because I ate ALL the…

God bless and congrats on your success so far. I am sending a request!

I will take some motivation! I’ll be honest…I don’t really need it right now because I’m on fire! But I would love to have you on stand by! :bigsmile:

Fortunately, not this time. I have treats built into my regimen that keeps me focused and have been going strong since October. However, in the past that was always an issue but it would take me weeks, maybe even months to get back on track. Good luck with everything!

I sent you a request!

Wow! Congrats!

I also juice in addition to eating a very healthy diet. As far as "just eating it instead of juicing"....I hate beets but I will drink the juice. I hate kale but I drink the juice. There is not enough time in the day to eat all of the extra nutrients that I get from my juice and smoothies. With that being said....I use the…

Same here! I introduced him to MFP and he was instantly addicted. We work out together, he trains me on the weights. He has his own goals and we are each other's biggest supporters!

I weight every morning...the fluctuations don't bother me because my diet and exercise are solid. Also, I have "gained or lost" a pound just by moving the scale across the room! :laugh: If I work out hard and I wake up sore, the scale is always up 2-3lbs. I don't know what it would take to discourage me but as long as it…

I was thin or normal size as a child. Into puberty and early adulthood I was very shapely with a very tiny waist, thick thighs and boobs. As I approached 30….it was downhill from there! So, I have never been “thin” as an adult and I don’t want to be but I do want my “boom-boom-pow” body back!!:bigsmile:

Yup! :smile:

I introduced my husband to MFP on Thanksgiving Day (of all days!!) and he has been hooked ever since. So, if you can get him to log a day or two, perhaps it will be enough shock to get him on board for good. :smile:

Not much to say but...WOW. Can't think of anything bigger than that! Awsome job, you should be proud!

I also gained a bit of weight after I got married. I am almost back down to where I was when we met. Sending a request, I would be an awsome diet buddy! :happy:

Fruits and veggies equal no prtotein and all sugar? Awww...well, aren't you precious. :ohwell:

My go-to smoothie is 1 frozen banana 1/2 c. coconut water fresh or frozen berries (depending on what I have on hand) 2 cups of spinach sometimes added flaxseed or protein powder.

I'm going to do a 5-6 day fruit/veggie fast.
