I guess there are badges now. It says: It may as well say, “Struggling with weight since the dawn of time, yet still alive, kicking and fighting” :D it should be an image of a trophy… a rhinestone walker or dinosaur in a bikini. :D

  • @jtconst - I know what you mean... it seemed like a couple of months ago, I put anything into my mouth and it was 500 or 1000 calories, didn't fill me up, slowed me down, and it was always too much! Now I have to work hard to get up to my calories! I do some dried (no sugar added) fruit each day. 5 prunes is around 100…
  • @Kelley - You were missed!!! Great job on the vacation- glad you had fun and it sounds like you did okay :) When I travel, I also retain water pretty bad, so that may be part of your 3#. @Dough - I can't wait for the day when I say, "I ran again last night and almost didn't make the entire 3 mile loop." Your "almost…
  • You are fabulous!!! Thank you so much for sharing! :)
  • Thanks Annie! I did walk tonight and though I was tired, I was not in pain :) :) yay! Some day soon I hope to be talking about how I ran for 40 minutes! Way to go girl!
  • WOOHOO!!! Fabulous! Thank you for sharing!!
  • :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: OMIGOSH I am pretty sure I cried down my leg a little!
  • My Wednesday wish is that I wasn't so stinking tired today. :yawn: I didn't sleep well last night (I'm a worrier) and so I have been dragging all day. I have an internal debate going on right now as to whether or not I should walk tonight, because not only am I tired, but I am not hungry... and walking means that I will…
  • Lauren- You are a ROCK STAR! You look fabulous!!!
  • Hi y'all! Busy day today... Tuesday is not only "Tuesday Goals", but it is also piano lessons night for my son... so I am always in a crunch. I am glad some of you found a chuckle from my Taco Bell poetry... Some day I may share my "Silly Poem About a Tomato Plant" :wink: Or I may save you from my silliness... well, at…
  • Checking in for Monday! I am a more hyperactive version of myself lately. I am friendlier, happier, and much nicer to be around. I have never eaten so many fruits and veggies in my life, as I have in the last 45 or 50 days. Is it possible that what I was missing in my life, the one vital component, was natural nutrition? I…
  • I read somewhere the human brain weighs around 3lbs... hope this helps!
  • LOL - I get ill from fried foods now.. I don't even miss them. Last night I was out and they had all of these fried appetizers... my friend's pal kept saying, "Please help yourself".... I finally said, "Thank you for your generosity, but I AM helping myself by not eating that."
  • ^^This^^ I am sure a supportive partner is great, but for me, I enjoy the ability to do what I want, when I want. I don't have to work around any schedule, except my son's and my own.
  • Coconut water is my favorite source of potassium... cabbage is also a great source...but when I was looking this up for myself, I found this... http://www.healthaliciousness.com/articles/food-sources-of-potassium.php Some of my faves on this list are pumpkin seeds - I buy raw pepitas (shelled, no salt) at Trader Joe's and…
  • Thanks for all of your support about my evil hip! I am going to try doing my normal walk tonight.. this will be the true test! I think it will be good though. @Skinnyjeanz... Mmmmmm "Taco Bell" - That place is a deal breaker for me also. I actually avoid the road that leads to Taco Bell, so that I do not have to feel it…
  • Terrific! Thanks for posting!
  • @Jana- YOU are fantabulous for using such amazingalicious words! :happy: EXCELLENT on the hourglass shape too! You have earned it for sure! (also LOVE the analogy about eating an elephant! So true!) @Sara- Thanks for the tip on the yogurt! I will look for it. @Laurie- Ziplining??? You are such an adventurer and it inspires…
  • ^^^^This^^^ is my favorite--- the vanilla is best. It's great with vanilla almond milk. It is a great alternative to soy and animal protein powders. It is not as smooth as some of the others I've tried, but I get great results!
  • FABULOUS! Thank you SO much for sharing!!!
  • I'm allergic to Imitrex as well, so when they gave me Topamax, I thought it was supposed to be the wonder drug... I had a terrible reaction to it. I became very "unstable" mentally, very quickly. I dropped it quick. I have heard great reviews from others, though I had no success. I have found, after years of suffering,…
  • Thanks Lin- the pic is a few months old- but it WAS right after a haircut! OH! @Raven- I am SO glad that sweet looking pup didn't do something terrible on purpose! He does look like a lover, not a biter. :smile: Heal up soon! Regarding a "group" vs "thread" - I am in either way. This "thread" helps me so much. I have made…
  • @Cia_Clayton- TERRIFIC!!!!! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: I am so happy for you!!
  • @Toots- Super scary about your mom! I live next door to my sister is always bravely confronting crazier folk than she is. It scares the heck out of me! I am always so torn between cheering her on for her bravery and kicking her tushy myself, for putting herself in a position of potential danger. I hope your mom is feeling…
  • I'll grab some- I've got meadows mommy, janak, skinnyjeanz, shrinkrapt.. shygur, morgori, linder4866, trmjnnmln, akelts, trhjrh06, GrammyWhammy, oh and Kelley is on vacation I think.. so not on last thread- so I will send to her too! gigi_to_4, I will tell them to forward on as well. We'll get them all :smile: YOU are such…
  • Thanks Annie! It is just not worth the trouble and stress to stay here. <BUT> We have been told that there is a company buying us and the papers are being processed... so everything is kind of "up in the air", in addition to all of the craziness. I have stuck around the last couple of months, mostly to see what will…
  • @patty-- My son is starting high school in a couple weeks also! I took him yesterday for the football meeting at the school, and almost cried. They grow up so fast, don't they? :sad:
  • YAY!!! Well done! You look great!
  • Well said, Robin! You are a rock star! :drinker: I read somewhere, "Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change". I find this to be very true. We don't always have a choice in what happens "to" us, but we do have the choice in how we respond. I'm not sure who said this either... “If you do what you've…
  • Thursday truth: I don't like my job... :sad: I used to love it (been here over 5 years) but they started piling the work of several people onto me, and there is harassment and bullying going on here that makes it difficult to push through. I wish I could just go to school. I love school. Here's to school! :drinker: I am so…
