I know that you are not supporting or endorsing it, but MFP frowns upon VLCD as a rule (not going to look for it and link it but I promise it is there). I do not support or endorse that either, so please don't flag my post :) I wish you success on your weightloss and in finding people that support you. The following is…

I like a lemon cilantro cayenne when I feel a bit kicky :) Orange slices are yummy too. Sometimes I do lemon and ginger (just peel it, smush it a bit, and drop the chunk in with lemon slices). I even freeze the fresh ginger root and scrape it with the microplane sometimes when I want a pop of flavor. Watermelon and lime is…

For me it is opposite.....I got more attention and body compliments at 150+ then I ever did before, which was when I GAINED weight and lost muscle. So I really wouldn't put any consideration into the "attention" the good body will get you. Do what you want for you. I actually started wearing my greatgrandmother's diamond…

This is perhaps the best NSV I have seen in awhile! Feeling so good that you went farther and took it outdoors because that is what you like!!!!! HOORAY!!!
-
Holy Moly is what I said out loud :) This is FANTASTIC! I am also today at halfway to my goal...our numbers are a bit different but this is incredible! I am sending you a friend request! BTW.....I think the big 50th in your case will be the little one :) you seriously look great.
-
Then gain it all back on due to feeling a failure..... THIS is the issue here. You know how to lose weight. You have lost enormous amounts of weight multiple times. You don't need to "kickstart" the weightloss. A plain old fashioned slow and steady plan will work just fine! I would suggest looking into that (the gain due…

YAY YOU!!!!!!!

I took some time off (sick and all) but still counting calories and losing! Will give it a go again after july 4th
-
You'll have to let me know what 140 looks like! I'm at 162 from 190 so I am halfway to goal! But honestly I think at about 150-155 I will feel pretty happy. Anything above 160 and I get a little jiggly :)
-
THAT gets you to the gym? :p Also....THAT gets you to the gym?? Ramblings from the peanut gallery of rule 6 (I think it was 6 but I take issue with 2 as well) Being overweight or out of shape or whatever isn't necessarily failure. We can also have real issues (oooh let's pick medical disability and handicap because that is…

I love this! Just go all Olivia Pope and keep asking...... WHAT DO YOU WANT????? I am slowly, ever so slowly, making progress. Less than a pound a week or so progress. I am sedentary, couchbound, and many times on bedrest. I am disabled and perhaps handicapped although I really don't like either of those words. I am sick,…

Today at the doctor's office, the nurse stared and stared and stared and stared at me. Finally she blurted out "look at your waist, it's so....TINY!" :) ME....with a visible waist. I know I am just shy of halfway to my goal, and that it only gets harder and slower. But boy do I feel like million bucks. And I am wearing my…

WAHOO in only 8 months? YOU FTW!!!!! I agree completely with the slow and reasonable goals! Granted, I started out heavier and have a bit more to lose, but I too am going at less than 1 pound a week. CICO. Nothing crazy. Nothing off limits. Just conscious mindful eating, and only when I am hungry. Way to…
-
Lol this is AWESOME! YAY you!!!!!
-
I use the word victory loosely here.....but today it is humanly possible to cram into my old bras and panties. Yep....36C, mediums.....AND my old pants pull all the way up but they won't button. So now I am at a totally awkward point where the fat clothes I own are just too big, even the intermediate stuff I bought last…
-
Today at the grocery store I opened the doors to the pastry case just to SMELL the donuts. That's right. I didn't even want one and knew it would give me a tummy ache and be a total waste of calories. But they were just sitting there looking so pretty with the sprinkles and the glazes and of course the peek of jelly on the…
-
You can totally do this! I think the weight will come off rather quickly without the calories from the drinks. Congratulations for taking steps to become healthier! Another thought if you truly have been drinking a lot for a regular time period...is go see a doctor right away, like today. And watch for shaking, sweating,…
-
Well....I am sorry you are behind bars so to speak! This is by far my favorite thread I have seen in many many moons! Would you be inclined to post pictures of your meals? I am curious what you eat regularly, but also in how you plate it! :)
-
Really awesome job. Incredible. Seriously dude. Way to go :)

What about a taco salad for dinner? Use lettuce instead of the friend tortillas, and salsa for dressing. You'll eat way less calories, and taco salads taste better than tacos in my opinion... :)
-
OK...don't totally go off the board on how I bastardized my salad dressing. But I make an oil free vinegar dressing that is quite good. Here's what I do: I mix 50/50 or half and half balsamic vinegar and plain rice vinegar. I mince up a clove or two of fresh garlic. I add some mustard (I like dijon but that yellow squeeze…

Did you eat pizza before? Will you eat pizza again? Of course you will, it's pizza! So, dust yourself off and get on track today, right now, right this second. Fit a walk in, and make a mental note of how the pizza made you feel. If you feel sick, next time try less pizza. I did it with in and out many moons ago, and had…

I am losing at a rate slower than 1 pound a week, and slowly yet surely it is finally becoming noticeable. According to my math and general idea, if you lose a pound a week that is over 50 pounds in 1 year! Sounds pretty incredible to me :)
-
LOL vanity sized does not explain how great your arms look! And, I can relate to how nice it is to fit in a large! They make regular cute clothes in size large! I love your dedication....and recommend putting the ice cream and spoon down and looking at why you are doing that. Maybe you can meet a close friend over coffee…
-
Not my area of expertise but I have an idea...Is there a local recruitment office? Perhaps they can hook you up with others in the area who are also training? Nothing like a running planking push up jumping jack buddy to share in the *joy* and kick your booty in gear! I know some folks that are out of service that LOVE the…
-
BAHAHA yes, the middle finger. Pretty universal. Not sure about the indecency, but if your bits were hanging out then she is a great friend and perhaps SHOULDN'T be hushed :wink:
-
3.2 pounds a month sounds like losing almost 40 pounds in a year if you stick with it. And, that's quicker than me so YAY YOU :) Not sure how much better of numbers you wanted to see...but that is pretty fantastic in my book! My doctor recommends losing at a rate of 0.5 to 1 pound a week if it is to be a long term…
-
I totally was thinking that!!! I see your profile pic and you are beautiful. And, as far as he goes, it doesn't matter how much weight he will ever gain or lose or how much he can lift in the gym, he will ALWAYS be an @sshole. Perhaps you will look prettier when he isn't looking at you :p Find goals and aspirations you…

Sorry I was totally distracted @ My_Butt .....look at those abs ;)

It might sound like boring plain old advice, but for me I like quick healthy foods I can make in under 15 minutes. So lately, I will chop and prep my veggies and lettuce for salad fixings all at once and have them in separate containers in the fridge. It makes putting a salad together take a minute. I also like things like…
