If you think he might have hurt feelings from your conversation this morning, I would make sure that you tell him you love him NO MATTER WHAT SIZE he is or ever will be.

^^This...definitely^^

[/quote] How much do you weigh? 8-10 is not a *lot* of water at all. You should drink 1/2 your weight (in ounces) in water per day. Give or take depending on exercise level. YOu need to drink MORE to flush out your body. Sounds weird, but the science is - the less water you drink the more you retain to keep your muscles…

I lost my 4 year old nephew! He's 47 lbs.

Holy...wow...just wow...you look amazing. Keep up the great work!

Funny enough, I used to be very upset by the jiggling. Now I look at it this way, ...the more it's jiggling, the more likely it is to stop - sooner rather than later!

Oh, I've got to get my credit card. I must buy it. Maybe I better not... My personal trainer would probably make me eat it.

I originally wore size 24/26 pants and this week I've worn all size 20 pants that I bought! (New goal NSV, to shop for clothes in the 16 and 18 sizes - ALMOST able to shop in REGULAR sized sections, NOT plus sized!!!) I stuck to my fitness routine 7 days a week without fail for two weeks (on Sunday). At the gym I was able…

My mom is 67 and can outpace me anytime. She just celebrated her 14th year of weight maintenance after losing 40 lbs and looks better than ever. Health is just as much in your mind as it is on the outside. I would reply with, "I'll be as old as I feel, and I feel 20!!" right up until the day I die!

Toughest decision EVER. I'm so sorry. It just sucks, it really does. I will tell you, do what's best for the dog, whatever you feel that may be. It sounds like you and your family are the best owners ever, and know that your dog is the best example of living in the now so just spend every last moment loving her as much as…

I currently strength train with my personal trainer 3 days a week. The other four days I am doing cardio. I do interval aerobics and I'm about 30 minutes or so including 2 minutes warm up and 2 minutes cool down.

^^THIS^^.. Frankly, I think your friend considered his insult in regards to you a compliment to her. Lots of my "friends" in the past were much smaller than I was, and the few that used me to make themselves look better are no longer the type of people I surround myself with. I remember walking down the street, on…

^^OH THIS!!^^

I love the red dress! And you look fantastic in it...you're amazing, and you look 10 years younger too...wow!

"The Dress" is gorgeous (as are you in the dress). Congratulations to you, one of the best NSV's I've ever read!!

What an EXCELLENT way to put it. I am in control of me. :flowerforyou: "I've been single for a while and I have to say, it's going very well. Like...it's working out. I think I'm the one." -Emily Heller

Excellent post! Thanks for that. What a great read and powerful motivator! **I read some of the other posts and wanted to edit my response. I am morbidly obese and working my butt off not to be. As I got older I feel my confidence has done my in good stead...I AM NOT upset when someone calls me fat anymore...mostly because…

What she said! Delicious...

I did something similar the other night but added: 6-8 bite size chunks of Thai flavoured Chicken Breast (or any spicy or not spicy chicken you may want) sprinkle of blue cheese (or cheese of your preference) spinach strawberries pecans Dressing (1 TBSP fat free mayo, 1 TBSP white vinegar, 1 TBSP splenda). This dressing is…

^ I can't believe you EAT SNAILS. ...with dill and not garlic. Mmmmm...

Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries! These are a little different than a cake but SOOOO delicious! Emily Bites recipe on emilybites.com has a recipe for Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries. I use both her version and an even lighter version...you could absolutely sub in your bars! Hope you find something great! We're talking 35…

Feel free to add me too. Can always use friends! I like to comment and give lots of support (I'm so addicted to MFP) and have met some wonderful people on here, hoping you do too. I was absolutely sedentary and have tried EVERY diet I believe ever has been created to lose weight. I love to laugh, have fun and be positive,…

^^This^^ I seem to recall a study I read recently called "Serial Killers Don't Like Ice Cream either". She's probably a test subject...stay away!

So inspiring...thanks for sharing this. You look fantastic!

Hi Sashoi! I'm 5 ft 9 and started at 316 lbs. I started on May 1st of this year and as of today I'm down 44 lbs. You've so got this, and I love tall friends, then I don't feel like the jolly green giant! Feel free to add me, and we'll do this together. I have 89 more lbs to go to get to my goal weight of 179 lbs. I had a…

Excellent news...I'm thinking of surgery when I get to my goal weight as well...thanks for this!

I drank Diet Pepsi and then Diet Dr Pepper daily, and a lot of times a day. The ONLY reason that I've cut it out was because I had a lapband surgery and they don't like carbonation of ANY kind. I can, on my surgeon's advice, still use Mio or Crystal Light in my water if I so choose. I was starting to hear at least once a…

What a great story!!! Thanks for sharing and Happy Friday! Welcome to your hubby as well! :flowerforyou:

Of course you can - what a wonderful thing to say. I'm in Saskatchewan...

Want to let everyone know that although that is a significant amount of weight to lose in 3 months...it's not safe for everyone. I'm under the care of a Physician, RN, Nutritionist, Exercise Therapist and even a Psychologist (Lapband surgery includes psychology whether you want it or not) and I had Lapband Surgery on May…
