Unfortunately, nothing "gives" you success. You have to chip away at it and get it bit by bit for yourself. << Sad wisdom from an eight-to-twelve-pounds-a-year loser.

Holy carp! There's a tag below the photo: "This image has been resized to fit the page. Click to enlarge." AAAA! NO! I DON'T NEED SWISS CHARD THAT'S ANY BIGGER THAN THAT!! Well, when you find out what the frell that stuff is and how to cook it, please do report back. I'd love to know.

I started noticing my rings were getting loose after about ten pounds. My solution was to buy silver "guard rings" in my correct size -- thin little simple circles like people use for stacking bands. Now, after 44 pounds, my rings swivel wildly but they stay on my fingers. When I'm finally done and have maintained for a…

Yeah, well, I've lost about eight to twelve pounds a year, so I'm loving your half pound a week. You're doing fine.

"just sounds like an excuse to be lazy." "That's like saying, just because people like having healthy teeth doesn't mean i need to brush. Yes my teeth will not look as nice, and slowly throughout my life my teeth will start to wear more and then eventually betray me. But i'm not conforming to society, what do they know,…

Bleh.

Good Lord NO. No age limits on hair length. It's what your hair looks like and does that determines how to wear it. Older women can sometimes have thin hair, and length accentuates thinness (I think). That's why we cut it shorter -- to kind of fluff it up. But personally, I'mm'a keep mine between my chin and shoulders as…

Probably not. Oh well.

This thread is *still* going?

Depression is real, just as diabetes is real. Samuel Johnson probably had depression. Winston Churchill had it. My great-grandfather had it so badly that he'd sit for days in a chair in the corner and not speak. It simply doesn't rise to the level of things that will kill you (unless you kill yourself).

I'd have died at birth, so no, I wouldn't have been all that useful 200 years ago.

You're comparing women to restaurants and men to customers? Excuse me while I puke.

We care what men prefer because we are more likely to get laid if we look like what men prefer. It's the same if you're batting for the other team. When I was dating women I spent a *lot* of time carefully adjusting my baseball cap to just the right angle.

Once by accident. I asked a friend on a diet twice if she wanted some of my ice cream -- it was so delicious that I couldn't believe she would refuse it. And I'd forgotten she was on a diet because she made zero big deal about it. When I realized later that I'd been tempting her like tempting an alcoholic by waving a beer…

As a nice lady told me yesterday, her mom said when they were growing up, "You can eat it, or you can sit beside it." If they don't eat what you give them, they don't eat. Be prepared for whining and tantrums to increase before they accept the new way. This is called an "extinction burst" in dog training -- the bad…

40 pounds in 8 years. Five ... friggin' ... pounds ... a year. - Had my RMR tested: 1750. BMR: 1498. - Exercise: every day that I'm not sick (my husband has a heart condition so we have to walk, plus I lift and do Barre as well). - I weigh/measure everything, record everything including the two wheat crackers I ate…

The problem is, if you eat very few calories, you probably aren't getting all the nutrients you need to stay healthy long-term. I agree 100% with the idea of balancing out high days with several low days ... but if you go really really low, how are you going to get enough calcium and protein and potassium and vitamin B?…

^^^^^^^^^^YES I was doing okay till I got to this. Then my head blew up.

I had an obese fitness instructor who was excellent at pushing me, teaching me proper form, and -- very important -- teaching me how to do the classes so I wouldn't hurt myself because I, too, was overweight. She was a goldmine of information and she never let me off easy. Plus, she knew what it was like to be overweight…

I can't run any more -- permanent knee injury. I miss it so very much.

Yeah, "gutted" is how I'd feel too. I am so very sorry he was such a d*ck. It isn't you -- it's him. Incidentally, I wonder how many overweight men he's approached like that. Probably not many, because they're probably big enough to land a serious punch.

Jay Sus I hate people sometimes. I'm sorry that happened to you. I haven't forgotten the times it happened to me.
