*hugs* happy holidays and know you're never truly alone!

Dark roast black If I'm feeling especially festive I'll put a shot of sugar free flavor in it

Gorgeous!!!! <3

Congratulations!! Do you mind me asking what kind of tumor it was? (I used to work with a neurosurgeon and loved it #nerd) Wishing you many more tumor free years!!

.

I absolutely *love* that you took before and after photos of your hands/rings. Great work dear!!!

The same way some people's rings fit tighter after a day of overeating/indulging in high salt foods, my jeans will fit tighter over my thighs. Water retention, bloating, can happen in your thighs, yes. Also if you've done a new leg-heavy workout they can swell up (muscles holding water for repair yada yada). If it's water…

Yes! All. The. Time. I feel like I'm going to cave and buy one of those padded covers for the shoulder strap eventually lol I've only ever seen them used by legitimate old ladies though so it makes me feel like I should just suck it up >.<

Double post... MFP lying to me and telling me that it lost my post... =/

I know this is from some time ago but try placing a pillow between your knees at night! MUCH more comfortable!

Oh no! My DVD player stopped working and I've been trying to find Level 3 somewhere to no avail. Does anyone have an idea of where I might be able to find it online? I'm so close to finishing haha :s

^ agreed! This is something I could really see myself getting into! I would love to hear of people's experiences in adult gymnastics classes

This is so beautiful AS ARE YOU!!

Bump!!

I'm only 1 pound away from reaching the halfway point to my goal! And I am only 6 pounds away from my mini goal!!! That mini goal is the lightest I've been in my adult life (only saw that number for like half a second one time bahaha)

Glad I got to see this post! Bumping it so even more people can enjoy it!

I have to say that one soda/pop in the afternoon likely can be fit into your goal if that kept you from craving all the other things. Maybe you keep that one afternoon drink and think of it as your afternoon snack? Then down the road, when you're ready to change something else, you can either make it a diet one or try one…

Just had to say that you are incredibly beautiful! Great job on all your hard work :smiley:

This! I too have noticed this change and while the like button is useful on really busy days, for the most part I really try to write something supportive to my friends on here. There's just something about a comment that feels so much better than a "like".

Yes! Don't fall into the trap of letting people's words get to you. I was halfway to goal and the lowest I had been in years when my mother and two sisters started in on me with this stuff. It was around the holidays so I was around them almost daily and their words got to me. Before I knew it I was slowly gaining back all…

Something that often works is taking your before and during pictures and covering your face/head. Leave them somewhere like that and look at them again in 2-3 days. I can't tell you how many people have tried this and been shocked at the change. It's hard for us to see differences in ourselves but generally easier to see…

Except that it IS irrelevant because I never used that as a reason for why they shouldn't exist. I provided legitimate reasons as to why I don't believe people should be breeding them. I only pointed out that they only exist by human intervention because the person asked how they would exist if humans did not breed them.…

What? Lol did you read what I responded to? That was my response to the question "how exactly does it ever live if people don't [breed] them?" I was stating that they don't. They don't exist if people don't breed them because they are not found in nature.

Yay! Somebody saw it! :smiley:

Umm I'm sorry but how are ligers "useful to humans"? House cats and dogs are bred for companionship or jobs that assist humans, yes. What are ligers bred for? People are choosing to breed them knowing that they will live a short and painful life. You support breeding a hybrid animal knowing that it will be living in pain…

They are not animals that would ever exist naturally in nature. Humans choose to breed them because they are a spectacle that people will pay money to see. I've worked with ligers and tigons that were cast aside because of their incredibly expensive medical bills. They all lived short lives but the people who dumped them…

I'm glad I could help :) let me know if you try it what you think of it! Oh and just as an FYI, the first two DVDs on the program are slower/more instructive (one is mainly lower body and the other mainly upper) so if you decide to try it make sure you do more than those two haha.

You look great!! Incredible change! Keep going after your goals!

Ligers and tigons usually suffer from gigantism or dwarfism, respectively. This causes their hearts and other organs to struggle and they generally live short lives. They're prone to things like cardiomegaly and painful bones and joints. I wish people would stop breeding them just for the sake of making lots of money off…

I'm 26 as well :smiley: hiya!
