yup! I wore a whole new outfit and couldn't stop grinning yesterday. Lucky Brand Jeans and a women's fitted batman T-Shirt! I've never looked "right" in fitted Ts before!

I bend the truth to people all the time if I feel I'm being pressured. "No thanks, I don't drink pop" "No thanks, I'm allergic to Red dye #3" "No, thanks, I don't care for pizza" "No thanks, I'm fasting for a colonoscopy."

Do you live with/near here? Ask her to go for a walk and talk about your concerns with her. I can only comment from a daughter's perspective, but my mom has been trying to lose a little weight (she used to be 130 at 5'10, after me she's stayed at 160 for the past 25 years). She's out of work every day at 4:15 and goes to…

*HUGS* Similar, but opposite for me. I struggled with bulimia in high school and college, and am a little worried that MFP is enabling me to become anorexic. I stress about everything I eat, log it immediately, and still feel guilty every time I eat. This is slowly getting better as I learn what portions are. At the start…

You aren't doing anything wrong at all. 4-5lbs is a victory! I am also a resolutionist -after losing 60lbs a couple years ago I decided it was finally time to go the rest of the way. The first 60 were from diet alone, but I'm not happy with how flabby I am. I've really been watching what I eat this time, and working more…

You're looking great! Keep going!

I'll join the anti peanut butter side! I only use it in peanut sauces and such.

Haha I don't have a month to month lease. I have a lease that states a guy that moved out in July still lives here with me and that there are no pets on the property. I asked for a new lease when I got the dog and when the guy moved out but she didn't give me one. I'm just fed up with her bs.

Thank you all for your kind words! My landlady is a nutcase. I have a "lease" written on a photocopy of a lease from a different rental company, with her "company's" name written in. After this encounter today I did a bit more research and her business is listed as "Operator of non-residential properties." Very…

Garlic! And Cheese! At least, I use them like condiments. Maybe I'm weird for not liking the normal ones.

I started running at around 270. I did too much too soon and wound up screwing up my hip, which only got better months after I lost 60 lbs primarily through a diet change. I started running again at 208 and the difference is remarkable. It's so much easier. You have to do what it best for you. Make sure you don't injure…

All of this, always. I like to do rosemary and oregano instead of cilantro though.

Fit into designer jeans I only bought because they were so cheap, even if they were so small (10)!! Jogged my first mile since surgery 3 weeks ago!

Fixed it for ya. Ice cream is yuck- B&J's especially so.

20 Breton Mini Garden crackers and 3 Tbsp. of garlic hummus has around 200 calories, and some carbs and protein to fuel a workout. Post workout I like to eat greek yogurt.

My FUNNIEST binge ever was when I ate an entire box of Fiber One bars. All I will say is, they do what they are supposed to.
-
in high school when I suffered my worst bulimic compulsions I would scarf a box of mac n cheese as quickly as possible for the taste gratification, then throw it all back up instantly. I used to take the pot of food into the bathroom with me so I could purge as quickly as possible. Now I cringe at the wasted grocery money.…

Whole wheat wrap with baby spinach, garlic hummus, and cajun roasted chicken breast. Liberte Greek Strawberry yogurt for dessert.

I also make smoothies. A favorite of mine is 1 C chopped kale, 1/2 a cucumber, 1 kiwi, and 1/4 c frozen pineapple! Can't taste the kale at all. If you don't have a good blender, blend the kale first on low with some water, then add kiwi and cucumber on medium, and lasty the frozen stuff on high/pulse.

Is there any danger of not consuming enough sodium? What level would that be?
-
This is what I had 3 years ago, and got again now to finish the job! Everything is just falling into place well and I feel so much happier just for having made the right steps!
-
Very cute before and after! And I love your common sense approach to things! great job!

My best friend told me once he would have dated me if I was thin, and also told me I had a pretty face and would "probably be hot when I finish losing weight" He's really shallow and hasn't had a lot of luck with women though, so I can brush it off. He's also very matter of fact and blunt. He has been a major positive…

Oh, another thing! Oftentimes when I go to the cupboard or fridge for a snack, I do squats or lunges while I try to decide what I want. Usually I realize I just needed to get off the couch and do something because I can't stand to be still for so long. If I'm still hungry, I like a couple tablespoons of hummus with breton…

WHEW!! Take a deep breath, because you're here. So here's the thing. It took me a while to make healthier eating choices, and I didn't dive in all it once. It sounds like you're getting overwhelmed, so grab a coffee with some milk and even a bit of sugar, make that headache go away, and just breathe. You just joined here…

This is important. Perhaps you aren't logging everything, but flipping through your diary it seems you are under by 700+ almost daily. TBH, and I know this is hard to hear, what you are eating isn't very good for you. There is a lot of processed foods and fatty dairy.You can lose weight by tracking calories alone, but the…

What did you do in the past when you had this problem? I would mention it to the doc again, maybe a different doc. What macros are you tracking?

Turtle- you look like Katherine Heigl!!! Gorgeous! All you ladies are welcome to add me. I live with my "skinny-fat" boyfriend who drinks Pepsi and eats crap all the time. I'm pretty new on here, too, and can use the support!

cleavage!!
