It doesn't sound like you need to change a thing. :)

I LIKE that idea! I'm already working full-time, but maybe I can squeeze in there on the weekends. :-D

Right on. Exercise and diet changes do not cure chemical imbalances. Please.

One thing I'm pretty good at is tracking even if it isn't pretty. Yesterday's foot long sub + 2 cookies ended up making the day fairly ugly, but I dutifully plugged them in anyway. As for cheese.... I cannot keep cheddar in my house. Ever since I was a kid, I've had a problem with just steadily cutting off slices and…

Hmmm. I guess I have a few: 1. I was raised on computer games, and they'll always be one of my favorite things. I can easily go a whole day with my only movement being trips to the fridge and bathroom if I'm not careful. 2. When I'm with other people, I have a hard time not eating what they eat. Whether it's giving in when…

The best I can tell, mine are 18" across. I was messing with some old marching band uniforms, and the 46 I tried on fit my shoulders almost perfectly.

I dumped my fiance in May. After four and a half years of putting him first and letting his needs trump mine, I can now focus on ME. I can do everything the way I want it, and I don't have to worry about how anyone else feels about it. I don't have to be concerned about what someone else wants to eat, or constantly hear…

That looks fabulous! Care to share the recipe?

My dad and his wife-at-the-time spent a bunch of money to get started on Nutrisystem. The food sat in totes in the basement after the first few weeks. When the wife left, Dad and my brother went into bachelor mode. My brother survived off of premade cookie dough and those terrible, terrible Nutrisystem meals. He's not sure…

Buying nice clothes at your current size is what jumped out at me the most. That is something I've never, ever been able to do. I keep wearing the same old clothes, even when they start gathering stains.... I just pick those shirts for days when I don't have to see people much, or I hide them under a hoodie. I still have…

Hell March, from the Red Alert soundtrack >.> I have no excuses.

I agree with the posters who have said she might be feeling neglected, in addition to projecting her "failure" on you. Maybe you need to make time for a weekly date night or something along those lines. Just make sure she doesn't feel like she's playing second fiddle to your fitness goals. If you're going to try to get her…

In 2007, it was something I could only find in specialty stores. Sometime between then and now, it became a thing in the US and you can now buy it at any grocery store, next to the peanut butter. It's sweeter than the European variety.

QFT. I think you've gotten some really solid advice. If you two aren't capable of discussing it without getting heated, counseling is where you need to go. Since you've been married for 16 years, I'm taking your word for it that he's not and all-around jerk and this is the main hang-up. It's likely that, as others have…

Having TWO dates in the same week wears me out. Five would put me in a coma.

I haven't yet. When I was at my heaviest, I was actually cycling through my boyfriend's shorts and my pajama bottoms. I probably should have been in 22s or even 24s, but I wasn't able (or willing) to buy myself anything new. When his shorts got too big, I was able to fit back into my old 20s. In July, I tried on a pair of…

The blood work I had done in March showed I was low, and I'm now on a daily OTC supplement. As for the symptoms, it's hard to tell.... The test was done to find a reason for my constant exhaustion. A month later, I was diagnosed with narcolepsy. It's impossible to see where one ends and the other begins.

I seem to be going face first, thighs last. I've been losing inches everywhere except my damn thighs. It's keeping me from being able to go down a pants size. :(

I'm not sure what to tell you about that. I use the Activelink, but the only calories I log in MFP are the ones I'm doing on purpose, like the gym or walking the dogs. I usually get 50% or more of my Activelink goal on Wednesday mornings at work shuffling boxes of produce around, but I'm not going to try to figure out the…

I just double track. I usually put things in MFP first (because it's faster) and then put them into WW. I usually put it in WW as I go along, so I know how I'm doing, but sometimes it waits till the end of the day. I removed the sugar and added fiber to my diary, that way it's easy to plug things into the WW calculator if…

My ex, who had a new girlfriend within two weeks of me kicking him out, texted me earlier today asking if I still had the pictures from when I tried on wedding dresses last year. He "never got to see them". If he keeps bugging me about it, I think I just say, "How about I send them to your girlfriend and you can get them…

A few questions about your fatigue/exhaustion: - do you feel miserable in the morning even when you got 7-9 hours of sleep? - are you tired all day but then have a hard time falling/staying asleep at night?

I went to my brother's marching band competition on Saturday, which is always fun. Then I made him come over yesterday to help me eat a pizza and watch The Sum of All Fears while he took apart and cleaned his saxophone. Other than that, a pretty quiet weekend. I did get my kitchen cleaned, my dining room table cleaned off,…

+1 for "I'm sorry, I can't hear you over all of the weight I'm losing." A+, you win.

I assumed that she was talking about adults who should know better, but this is a good point. It's important to teach kids to be empathetic/not *kitten*.

True life. I've had times when people have played "keep away" with a candy bar I'd just purchased or something, and they learned that was a bad idea real quick. You do not mess with my food. But really, I see a lot of posts like this from people with terrible family members/friends. My family is pretty dysfunctional, but…

I just got out of a 4.5 year relationship where I felt more like his mom than his fiance, so I know what you're talking about. I'm only 5 months out, though, so I'm still in "happy to be single" mode. There is a difference between taking care of someone because you want to and taking care of someone because they won't do…
