A got cookie sheets ( I didn't bake) and a fire extinguisher from an old boyfriend I now fondly refer to as "the thin-lipped balding b@sterd." Who says romance is dead?

Congrat's on the great results!

<My retro outfit? A vintage early 1970's frock, originally slated for eBay, but I decided to keep! Stay groovy!

You look amazing! (This picture is so pretty!)

Try this. Go to tinypic.com. Upload your photo. When you get the url for the photo just change the upper case IMG to lower case img - it's shown twice in the url. Then paste the url into the body of your post. You don't need an account to do this. Good luck.

I also had probs using my photobucket, even though I changed the IMG to img. I recommend using tinypic.com instead - it's quick and easy. You still have to change IMG to img.

I have a pair and found that my baby toe didn't like being spaced out. Maybe it's just the shape of my foot/toes, but they are okay for a while, but get more uncomfortable if I wear 'em longer. Across the top of my foot, it hurts if I wear 'em longer. Perhaps I need to just break 'em in? Or is it my weird feet? Anyone else…

WOW!!! Your loss is VERY noticeable!!! You look fantastic! Great job!!!

An 80 pound loss is OUTSTANDING - and you have every right to be proud of such an accomplishment and share this with those you know. Why does he begrudge your "feel good" moment? Perhaps insecurity on his part? I always, ALWAYS trust my gut. If I felt it was right to do, I'd do it. There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with…

I just started using an elliptical just last month and have quickly worked up to an hour workout, and have the exact same thing. NUMBNESS in the left foot. I have found that changing the placement of my feet on the pedals throughout the work helps tremendously. Sometimes, I move to the back, the sides, the front, but I…

Thank you for all the compliments and words of encouragement! I appreciate every single word! For those who expressed comments about bravery - thank you. I was a bit intimidated, almost second guessing posting these, since I have such a way to go. I am nowhere near being a hard body. ;-) But if you could have told me in…

Here's three that I hate: "nipple" - "pimple" & "pus".... Ugh... And don't even think of using all three together, Ugggggghhhh.... Which reminds me of another: "vomit"... :-P

1. Do you eat back your calories - Some, but not all. If I can have 300-400 calories to the good - I don't eat 'em back. 2. Are you losing weight consistently - yes!

My stock response is: There's 24 usable hours in every day. We don't think twice about plopping on the couch watching a movie for 2 hours. I just choose to invest that time in my health & well being. Doesn't that make sense?

Thank you for your kind words of encouragement! It helps so much when there's a long road to travel. I'm just keeping my eye on the prize and focusing on 10 pounds every month!

Low Carb isn't magic, but it truly works for me. Magic implies that it's some power other than your own free will, discipline and excellent "real" (unprocessed) food choices. I did my homework on the low carb way of life. It requires planning to have the right kind of foods in stock and at hand at all times. It takes…

I have two blubbery cousins who take turns at cheap shots. I join them for dinner at an elderly uncles house to give the "old guy" some company. First there was disbelief, when I explained that I needed to make different meal choices, like there was no way weight loss was ever going to happen. When the first 20 dropped one…

Beautiful picture and a remarkable difference! Congratulations on the great work!

I'm a bit put off by passing judgement on those who consider surgery, as if it is something frivolous. In my early 20's, I had a baby that had chromosomal defects that caused an excessive amount of amniotic fluid. My belly was stretched from here to Kingdom Come. Two days after birth, my baby died and I returned from the…

Fabulous! It totally shows! You carry your weight very well and look so pretty! You not only look thinner, but much younger! Keep up the fantastic work!

Congratulations!!! You look amazing! Taking off those 20 pounds has made a dramatic difference! Keep up the good work and thank you for sharing!

Your results speak for themselves. What a difference in your two pix - you look great!! You know that saying, if it's not broke, don't fix it? Well, I think if your "going over" isn't affecting your loss, keep with what's working - don't waste energy stressing over it. Congrat's again on your success!
