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” 
it should be an image of a trophy… a rhinestone walker or dinosaur in a bikini.

To Skinnyjeanz's question: Assuming cloning were perfected and you could clone yourself with no medical risks, would you do so? Would you want a baby who is a perfect genetic replica of you? I would not clone myself, but I would clone my child... He is 14 and so kind, generous, and loving. He is also incredibly…

I am feeling much better today! YAY! :bigsmile: I went to my therapist today and was telling her how men are like Oreos to me now... The sweetness may be tempting, but you don't really know what's in that filling, do you? AND right after you have either, the satisfaction is gone, and you are left with only an empty cookie…

Tuesday Goal- to keep going, even though my hip won't. I felt so blessed to wake up on Sunday pain free. I did great at the Renaissance Festival, and didn't go as hard as I normally would have. Monday, I woke up with pain, but not nearly as bad as it had been. Yesterday's walk was so painful that I realized that I have to…

I basically just focus on making my breathing calm... and I slowly repeat the serenity prayer in my head. I am not AA, and I am not super religious- but it makes sense for me. God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

@Lin - WOOHOO! Great job fighting temptation! I know what you mean... That store sucks me in every time. I am not GF, but a good friend is GF in addition to being a serious foodie. I am amazed at some of the terrific and tasty foods that have come out lately. The gluten free choices remind me that there are options with…

@Morgori- Turkey legs are tasty- and I would have never guessed how bad they are! I even considered having one, and the primary reason I didn't, outside of money, was because I didn't know for sure how they were cooking them. Same with the corn on the cob- it seems innocent enough until you find out they soak it for hours…

@morgori- Thanks for the emoticons!!! :bigsmile: You are a scholar and a gentleman! I was tempted by the turkey legs.. but they were $9!!! (probably better for my girlish figure that I stuck with the sandwich I brought) :laugh: Your farmer's market haul looks terrifically tasty! (did I just make up a word?) @jtconst- great…

Thanks Robin and Skinnyjeanz! I don't feel like such a meany for declining people now! Skinnyjeanz- you are a terrific friend because every time you log a fast walk or run, I am inspired! You don't have to comment or post on someone's wall in order to be a good MFP pal. Just saying... I appreciate you here, where you give…

@Tina - Holy Moley!! Excellent job on the activity levels. (Love the new profile pic too- you have gorgeous skin- probably all of that water you drink?) :drinker: @Christine - I hope you had a good night's sleep. You have such an inspiring way of "bouncing back" and overcoming the hurdles that are placed in your way.…

I walk! I started slow... My goal is to have the endurance to jog eventually. I have seen others (with worse health issues) do it- so why can't I? :smile: I smoke AND I have asthma- (and some nasty hip problems) - - not a good combo. First change I made was healthier food- I still do *some* processed junk, but on the days…
-
@Monarchris- I am so sorry you had to go through that today! My heart hurts for you and your son. ~hugs~ Regarding the squash- I have cut acorn into squares and kept it in the fridge a couple of days. Maybe you could blend some into a smoothie? Friday fitness – Well, I got the steroid shots in my hip (this time for the…

Well stated! Thank you for sharing! :drinker:

coffee with coconut milk, cinnamon & nutmeg... tasty :) I bet almond would be good also, like one person suggested here.
-
Wait.... nobody told me about the fairy dust!!! ;)

Soooo glad I found the new thread! I thought for sure that I would come back from California, and lose you all!!!! (Thanks for making it easy enough Robin!) @SaniD - I will ALWAYS love self help books- it is not a sign of weakness, but of strength! It means we are brave enough to change. There are many folks who can't say…

Greek yogurt, Frozen Yogurt (Julie's organics makes a terrific low fat frozen yogurt bar), low fat string cheese, Jello fat free/sugar free pudding.... Or, there are those days where I will have only a spoonful of regular ice cream (yes, I log it). It was only a month or so ago that I couldn't stop with just one…
-
YAY Water!!!! I like to put fresh mint in mine :) Also great with chia seeds :)
-
YES!!! AND I taught my 14 year old son to do the same- when choosing between two products, he holds one and I the other in order to see which is "best".

I personally don't log household activity unless it's a hefty (not standard day) task. HOWEVER - a few months ago, even doing the dishes worked up a sweat and increased my heart rate, for many reasons. Had I been using this site at the time.... "walking to the mailbox" would have been something I was proud of... so I…

Do what your doc says- but pay extra attention when they say proper nutrition and exercise. I have taken meds, but also added vitamin D (blood tests and doc recommended) and magnesium. The best thing I have done is to accept what I don't have control over and change what I can control. I am certainly not "healed", but I am…

There are a gazillion technical documents on proper hydration - I am sure of it. I am too lazy to look them all up- so much easier for me to just have a glass. ;) Here's my experience- 30 days ago, I was forcing the 8 glasses down, and some days, it was only 4 or 5 glasses. I saw all these folks drinking tons of the stuff-…

So glad you asked this question! I am still teetering between clean and not so clean... so the responses have been very helpful for me! Thanks :happy:

I am so inspired by your story- thank you SO much for sharing. :happy:

^^^This^^^ - well said- :drinker:

I don't know... I see a lot of great explanations, but I want it too!!! :)
-
So glad you posted this question--- I go through this every day!
-
There are some key factors- my kid needs a role model, my doctor kept using the words "morbidly obese" on her reports... A couple years ago, I suddenly became "more single", and started dating these guys that were either nuts, or "just not that into me". I kept giving these men the benefit of the doubt, continuing to fall…

That is so cool that you and your wife decided to lose the weight together! Way to go!!!

http://www.wacoal-america.com/shop/bras/sport/ --- if you have a Nordstrom, they will be on sale for the Anniversary Sale (right now I think). My girls aren't as big as yours, but I run a D, and they are happy and secure when I am wearing this one (the underwire version)
