Interesting topic. bumpforlater

Don't let that stop you from joining a gym. Be proud of yourself for moving in the right direction and anyone at the gym will think the same thing. You'll get over your fear and start feeling great. Everyone at the gym is doing their own thing and no one will be mean to you. I found that everyone is helpful and you…

Thanks for the info !!

When You Are Engulfed In Flames by David Sedaris on my Kindle.

Adele.... Her album 21 is all about a break up and I found it at the right time. The whole album goes through the stages of a break up, all the way to getting over the guy and then having him want you back once he can't have you. It paralleled my life at the time. Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts…

Yes, I too have lost a significant amount of weight before, gained and now back to losing again. I definitely got freaked out. I would just stare at the mirror in disbelief. I couldn't stop feeling my collar bones and hip bones. The first time I felt my hip bone, I didn't know what it was!! Then I realized, Oh yea, my body…

Pringles (sour cream and onion) snickers bars nice craft beer ( an IPA) Ryan Reynolds :0 Brad Pitt Ryan Gosling That should just about do it ;)

Thank you so so much for posting your story. You are truly one of the most inspirational people I've seen here so far. You look fantastic, I admire your will to change and work hard and especially to not make excuses. You should be extremely proud of your accomplishments. I hope you're feeling better these days. Thanks…

very clever...thanks and good luck to you.

I can't pick up an item without reading the nutrition label. It takes me forever to go shopping. I agree, it's more expensive too. There are certain items I just CAN'T buy because I lose self control. I have to recognize that and live by that rule.

I love it. The hour goes by so fast and it's fun. Don't worry about not knowing the moves completely, the key is to keep moving. Everyone else is usually too busy concentrating on the instructor to care what you're doing or they're worried about whether they're doing right or not. lol It's fun, the more you do it the…

You have every right to brag. Way to go, it IS the small victories!!

Having trouble coming up with ideas at the moment but I heard a suggestion somewhere once that said each week when you weigh in, for every pound you lose put $1 or $5 whatever amount you set into a reward jar and when you reach a specific goal use that money for a reward. Just a thought. I'm seriously going to have to give…

Great, Thanks for posting this.

I find it sometimes difficult to deal with the comments that naturally come with a significant noticeable weight loss. It can sometimes, not always, but sometimes make me uncomfortable getting new attention from men that I didn't really have before. It's hard to deal with the things people say to you, whether they mean…

I have been known to go for long periods of time too being all fired up and then come crashing down and go for periods where I just don't pay attention. I have yet to reach my ultimate goal weight. I'm trying to change that by asking myself seriously each time I want to do something "Is this bringing me closer to or…

Beautiful!!! Congratulations to you and your groom. Thanks for the pics

Honestly, It's YOUR WEDDING. I would not even invite your brother. I repeat, it's YOUR WEDDING.

It's awesome, and I love it. I get weird looks from co-workers when I do it at work, but I just let them wonder. I don't usually explain what I'm doing. I think it's kind of funny. It is a huge time saver though seriously.

I'm sad to say this has happened to me too, more times than I care to admit. It is a struggle, I would say don't beat yourself up about it, but I know it's not easy. I have had the same thoughts, "if only I hadn't given up I'd be so far along right now instead of starting over" BUT...the truth is, you can't change the…

Happy Birthday, you look fantastic.

The Jack Nicholson clip made me bust out laughing......

Those Atkins muffins sound interesting. Thanks for the tip. :smile:

307 currently 240 but not for long.

Congratulations! :happy:

I cannot drink milk or V-8 juice from a plastic cup, it HAS to be glass. I can drink anything else from plastic cup though.

Okay, I couldn't post just one so here are a couple more for ya: There can be no progress without struggle- Frederick Douglass People are like stained glass windows, they sparkle and shine when the sun is out but when darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within -Elizabeth…

Loving this topic. a lot of great quotes. I like " What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us" -Ralph Waldo Emerson

Have been with my bf for 3 years, I got him an electric guitar- fender affinity strat with a portable amp. He has three acoustic guitars right now, Its' time to kick it up a notch. He plays- I sing.

I like to puree roasted red peppers ( you can broil them yourself or buy a jar of prepared roasted red peppers and then toss them in the blender.) It has a different dimension than tomato sauce, which can get old really quick.
