Nothing. That about sums it up! lol Like someone else said, if it's not there, I won't eat it. I grabbed 2 yogurts for lunch in a mad rush, and they're long gone. Water, water, water! :)

That is a wonderful, awesome, fabulous idea!!! I think the biggest part of losing as much as we want to lose is learning all the little "life hacks" along way that will help save us from ourselves ;) My most important life hack is going to be eating dinner on my own terms. My sister is the cook in our house, and sometimes…

That's awesome, amylouize!!! Good for you!!! I bet he'll end up tagging along. Maybe not tonight, but eventually. Men hate to be left out of what looks like a good time :)

YES!!! I love this!!! I'm gonna be draggin' my 220 pound *kitten* all over the treadmill tonight, and I'm gonna do it like a rockstar! ;)

Like the others, I feel your pain. I am in a similar situation myself, right now, but I actually feel really positive about where I am *this minute* and where I feel I am going. I've used MFP before, with some success. The biggest problem for me is sticking to it! I am just now coming back after 9 months away with even…

You look fabulous, and soon, you'll be in ONEDERLAND!!!

While I'd love to be able to wear a swimsuit this summer without experiencing mortal terror, I'm thinking that just being able to toss on a pair of shorts and feel sexy would be a mission accomplished. I think this thread is a wonderful idea; I've always been a winter warrior! While everyone else is hitting the holiday…

Awww, you're so cute!!! Great post, excellent results, and I wish you all the best as you endeavour to finally rid yourself of a lifestyle that's now gone forever :)

Loved your story! You write beautifully; thanks so much for sharing. And... I think you look FABULOUS in the Halloween photo :)

I don't think a 10 lb cat is all that much to worry about... Jeez, my boy Jack was just under 30 lbs before I got him on a "program." Even at his max weight, he was in good health and still acted frisky; he just loves to snack even more than his Mortal Mama does :) We have to do separate feedings for our kitties, or Jack…

You are absolutely stunning! Thanks for sharing your inspiring transformation :)

You were already gorgeous, but now you are SMOKING HOT!!! I <3 your style, too! Congratulations :)

Work out in my makeup and gunk up my pores? No way!! Besides, it wouldn't look anywhere near *good* by the time I finished; I work them sh*ts HARD ;)

I feel like I puff up all over when it's my TOM. Even my eyes seem pillowy! I will say that I notice less bloating (and all the other rotten symptoms) after having an IUD installed. I really can't say enough good things about my Mirena; it hurt like a mutha going in, but the pain was short-lived and well worth it for me.…

LULZ!

I, personally, eat damn near all of my exercise calories back. I consider 1200 calories to be my punishment for not working out. I also have "swap" days where I'll not eat exercise cals back in order to compensate for being over my limit the previous day... Basically, I do whatever I need to do to keep my weekly total just…

I wore my HRM to determine precisely how many calories I burn playing MarioKart... does that count as "geeky?"

Yup, you definitely did something right! You look fantastic! Congrats :)

HA! That's the second time I've rec'd that response in this thread! No offense taken; I love her!

@ bkyoun: You have a bit of a Heisenberg thing going on... Own it! :D

This one has nothing to do with workout interference, but I just find it generally annoying when parents cart those massive strollers around on city sidewalks. Is it just me, or did strollers effectively quadruple in size over the past 20 years or so? Most of these bloody things take up the entire sidewalk! It's even more…

@ logicman69 Isn't that the one that makes people... Why thank you :) You should totally dress as one of the members of POISON, circa the deep, deep 80s!

I like it! She's so mean! ;) mdqt07, you could totally rock a Catwoman costume! Those eyes!

Neon: You'd make a great Sailor Moon. Hit me, MFP! No idea what I'm going to be this year! :)

If you wanna go the super-easy route, I've found that Kraft Creamy Poppyseed salad dressing makes slaw taste sooooooo yummy! They have a Calorie-Wise version, and it's just so good!! They also have a "Coleslaw" dressing, but I prefer the Creamy Poppyseed. I put that *kitten* in everything :)

Kingston, Ontario! Home of many professional hockey greats, The Tragically Hip, and Canada's first Prime Minister :)

OMG! GOLD! :smokin:

I agree with the others who have said she is likely doing it as a form of compliment fishing and attention seeking. I bet you could throw a fun monkey wrench into her fiendish plan by replying with something like: "I can sympathize, honey. We all have our fat days." LULZ.

This is not to say I advocate the force-feeding of little ones, but the idea of allowing them to choose what they will and will not eat seems a little ridiculous to me. When I was five, my "choice" would have been a chocolate bar every single time! Thank goodness my Mom made me eat real food, whether I liked it or not.…

Congrats to you! You look fabulous, and more importantly, SO HAPPY!
