way to turn your life around!! I wish you nothing but happiness!!!

This. I love avocado with everything - with (in or on top of) eggs, salads, sandwiches of any kind, burgers, etc. ITS SOOO DELICIOUS!

Add to this a non-drooler and you got yourself a winner.... haha

I checked your diary and I would suggest switching some of those sandwiches with something healthier - salads for example. Instead of the egg on english muffin, have an omlette with mushrooms, peppers, tomatoes, etc. and skip the bread. Have veggies with dinner as well. I noticed that there are very few fruit or vegetables…

I believe he is being serious - at the first hint that you might actually be interested in him, he jumped for it. Don't laugh it off or he'll think you are not actually interested and will never ask you out again. Let him take you out for VDay and see what happens... don't let your head over analyze (I do that all too…

I looked at your diary... looks like you had 1 piece of cake last week, but aside from that, nothing sweet.... I usually go for something sweet, but make it a light version (i.e. skinny cow ice cream instead of reg ice cream)... I dont think you need to cut it out completely, but even if you have a regular version of…

Where do you live? Skinnymeanieville? This is horrible!!!

You look great!!! Congrats :)

Do not send her flowers, but I would send her a letter thanking her for always being there for you, for taking care of you through your illness, etc and let her know that while you cannot be friends due to your feelings, that you will always be there for her should she need your support.

I agree with this.... you have lost weight and that's a great thing - you should really be proud of yourself, but constantly talking about those "morbidly obese" like they are somehow sub-par and labeling them the way you seem to isn't cool and I suspect its why you are getting the cold shoulder.

A wedding on a budget is tough and tough decisions must be made. I would say have a straight forward, but polite, conversation with him by phone or in person and explain the situation.

W-2 is what your job provides you so that you can file your taxes. You don't file that.

I have always done my own (free through Turbo Tax). The one time I tried going to someone, I got charged $200, did not get all the money I should have and ended up audited, so now I'm back to doing my own!! And mine are always complicated (used to be head of household, now married filed jointly, switched jobs, have…

Chewing gum sometimes helps me calm my nerves, but more than food/drink to calm down, try to focus on your breathing, listen to soothing music, and try and focus on the task at hand. This will help you more than any magic pill out there. Good luck!!

In the same boat... bumping :)

I, too, have a scale with a mind of its own - it gives me different readings in one weigh-in session- I take the most consistent number (if it shows up more than once)... I also meassure though, so that helps keep it real.

Hey, I did WW a few years ago and it worked for me - I lost quite a bit. However, what I love about MFP and why I would never go back to WW is that on MFP, you are not only tracking calories (points) but you are aware of sugar, fiber, sodium, etc. I try and keep all of those things in mind, not just the calories. Add to…

I agree with this. I am happy to hear that he is focusing on his son but your children's happiness will come from you! A happy mama = happy babies.. Nothing makes for a crappy childhood like a hurt and miserable parents. Put your happiness first. Do not let people treat you like ****. Don't treat yourself like that.…

HOW AWESOME!!!!!!!!!
