Thank you so much for the kind words, everyone! :)

I love my Polar FT7. Got it on Amazon for about $80 and it has been more than worth it.

Had to google it, but now that I've seen her, I'm super flattered! She is a babe. Thanks!

LOL, well fortunately VA doesn't print the weight on the license, but I will say that I've lost 30+ lbs since I filled out the form at my last renewal (last August)... and it's STILL almost 20 lbs less than what I actually weigh now! Haha! I don't know who I was kidding! Especially since my face on the license looks a…

Thanks again, everyone! I'm adding another pic because I think it's a pretty good comparison:

Just saw your message in your friend request! You actually weigh a fair amount less than I do - I'm at 178 right now (181ish in these pics) and 5'8". Very possible that we have similar body types though! I always carry a ton more weight than it looks like for some reason. Oh well!

Ahh never thought I would hear someone say that about my stomach! Haha thanks so much, you made my day :)

Thanks so much everyone! I really appreciate it :) and thanks for both of the sash votes ;) even though they were opposite lol!

This! Lol thanks :) By the way I'm not wearing either of the sashes in the pics. Maybe none at all! Haven't decided yet.

:laugh: That almost made me miss reddit a little less.

Probably.

Yep. Amazon broke the internet. I've read that Netflix is/was down, too, among other sites, all related to the Amazon cloud issue. ETA: Sorry, to clarify, I meant the Amazon thing is related to reddit being down (it is). Not sure if MFP is related to the Amazon thing or not, but probably.

I keep getting it too. The internet is pretty much broken today.

1.) Fitness/Weight/Training Goal for Christmas: I'd love to be in the 170s by then (currently about 15 lbs from 179) 2.) Gift/Item for Christmas: HRM, maybe a gift certificate to my hair salon (that I haven't been able to afford since January lol! Looking rough!) 3.) Dream Present (if money was no option): Oh, man. LOTS of…

I used to work full time for VS.... my collection got a little out of control haha

Only special occasions. Well, except for solid black and solid black, which I guess happens pretty often by default.

I used to be ALL ABOUT Red Bull, for years, probably beginning with my retail days, lol. I cut it out almost completely when I got serious about losing weight. I did have a sugarfree one once in a while, which was surprisingly not as disgusting as I expected. :) I will say, though, I had my first Red Bull in about a month…

Congrats on the good news!! I grew up in the DC area - lived there til I was 18 and plan on moving back once my husband's enlistment is up. It's a really great area. You're going to love it :)

I like my coffee black just like my metal. .....that is a lie. Nice and sweet and creamy for me. I'm not too picky about the brand - usually end up grabbing Donut Shop K-cups, which is apparently medium roast, extra-bold. I usually stick to plain ol French Vanilla creamer (Coffeemate fat-free) and - sue me - Sweet'n Low.…

I'm actually really nervous about alterations... I ordered my dress over 2 months ago, of course in the size that I was at the time. I was a 14ish in regular clothes, and the sample I tried on was a 16, and did zip fully closed, but was a little snug. So, I was strongly recommended to order an 18. So here it is in the 16:…

Jeans!

Just watched last night's episode. Pretty solid. What did you guys think? Glad they finally acknowledged that Clay's behind the break-ins. It's been clear that it was the ex-nomads for weeks now, and implied that Clay was probably behind it, but good to know for sure. Not really sure yet what benefit faking sick gives him…

My fiance is in the military. Over the past 3 years we've had 1 Thanksgiving together, 0 Christmases. No easy answer for you... it sucks, but you deal with it. As someone else said, have your own holidays together when you can (for example, if he's gone until December 28, make your Christmas on the 28th).

Ok guys, bear with me on this one - it's always hard to explain, but tends to blow people's minds a little bit. Look down at your thumbs. Bend the top part down (part A). Awesome. Now notice how you can also bend part B down, including when you go to make a fist. Two knuckles. Bends in two places. As you can kind of see,…

Amen to that. It's poison.

As someone else mentioned, definitely ditch the ramen noodles. That's a sodium party you don't want to go to.

Could be because there was the exact same thread a few days back, ended up getting a little out of control if I remember correctly! ETA: www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/765309-lol-planet-fitness

I have a WEALTH of experience on long distance relationships, if anyone ever wants to talk, lol. A year into my relationship with my now fiance, we had both been living in DC, and just about inseparable for that year. At around the same time, I moved to Chicago for school, and he began his USAF enlistment (first in TX for…

Seriously!!!! It was cute for, like, 5 minutes. Actually, no, it wasn't.
