I'm glad to hear that you and your partner are safe. That is great news. I personally have not experienced that situation before, but I can assume it's a scary feeling. Stay strong and I'll keep you both in my prayers... :heart:

I will keep you, your town, and the man in my prayers and I will ask my family members to do the same... Keep safe and stay strong! :heart:

Be safe, drive safely, and have a great time! Enjoy. :heart:

Once you reach your goal weight and are trying to just maintain... will you continue to ALWAYS use MFP or do you think that one day you'll be able to control your portions and calories to maintain? :smile:

Congrats Sweetheart. You deserve to give yourself a nice meal every once in a while... do not worry about it. Enjoy the evening! :heart:

I think I'll be alright with out the bat, but thanks! :tongue: Much appreciated, haha.

Ha. I was thinking the same thing.

Thank you for the sweet and kind advice. I have taken it to heart. Thanks to everyone. :happy: This topic wasn't even about me, but you saw I needed advice and help. Thank you soo much. I will talk to my man today. :heart:

THANKS! I will. :tongue:

Oh trust me... it's normal! Haha.

Thanks! In no way does he take me for granted. It's just a busy schedule and being tired thing and us having to get off our lazy butts to make time for one another I guess. If that makes sense, haha.

HAHA! :laugh:

:laugh: Wow, that made me laugh.

Of course. Some of us just have longer horns than others... :tongue:

Aww, thank you. That is truly sweet and I am completely flattered... but I do not believe you because I am at that stage where I can not comprehend why someone thinks that about me. But to be honest: I just wish my Boyfriend would tell me these things. I work at Lowe's. I am surrounded by men and I get compliments every…

Angel? Is anyone on MFP an angel...? :wink:

I love the picture idea! So cute. :heart:

Haha, sorry. I guess that's what I get for not being confident with what I look like... I don't feel beautiful. Come on, no one else feels that way? Just me?

I love my Boyfriend and I know he loves me... but what do you do if you have busy schedules or the spark is dying? We have discussed it, but can not really get to a solution... I'm really just starting to think I do not deserve a nice date anymore. :cry:

EXACTLY! Hehe. :flowerforyou:

Awww. This Board was about Ty and his date... I did not mean to turn it to be about me... Sorry Ty. :frown:

Ha, he is NOT a bad guy. He has school and work. I have work. I work from 2-11 A LOT of the nights and he is always so stressed from school he does not want to go out. So I made him a basket with all these "de-stress" items in it... like his favorite candies, and favorite magazine, some Tylenol for headaches... I do the…

He is so busy with school and work that I guess we just do not have time for a date. I always ask, but we just end up sitting on the couch watching a movie. :cry: It gets old after the 100th time.

:cry: We just do not have the spice anymore in our relationship. I do not know... I can't remember the last time I was on a date. (He's actually on this site to record his calories for weight gain, but he never uses the board. Haha.) I do not know... maybe I do not deserve a good date after so many years. Anyways... Does…

I personally like the simple dates. Not things over the top. I love just going to dinner or even better a picnic and walking around downtown just looking at the buildings, walking into stores to browse, talking, and enjoying each others company. :smile: You do not need to spend a lot of money or do anything extravagant to…

You better know... that everyone is going to be sad that they aren't on your list... Haha. :tongue:

Splurge... it's okay. To be honest... The weekends or days that I do splurge I lose more that week because my body is freaking out that I'm eating all this food and my metabolism speeds up. Enjoy yourself and congrats! :heart:

I just bought a new bike and since my lazy *kitten* hasn't really got off the couch in the last two years of my life due to college and pregnancy... I just recently learned that my cardio endurance sucks and it never used to be like this. I'm going to keep going out and try to build it up again... but it sure is…

All my clothes are bright... I have a lot of black too, but I prefer to wear my favorite color: Bright blues! :smile:

I've read the book and to be honest... still love my chicken and steak. These women do not really or truly know what they are saying... some of it might be the truth... but some of the things they say are just terrible, misleading, and trying to scare people skinny.
