I live in Austin(just three hours South of Dallas) and even though we didn't have an ice storm we got some freezing rain, but it pretty much melted as soon as it touched ground...Thanks for sharing these...It's been awhile since we've had anything like this in Austin.... Reaan

Great job! Reaan

I'm five nine and my ultimate goal is 170 pounds...They say I need to eat, about, 1400 calories/day to lose 2 pounds/week...It is pretty consistent with me...I get a lot of exercise on my job, but it is still slow going ...I have gone thru menopause and the weight doesn't want to budge...I am, also, on some medication…

No, I don't think there's anything wrong with a guy liking salads...In fact, I would think that he just cares about his body as much as I care about what I put in mine...Interesting question, though... Reaan

Good job! Reaan:bigsmile:

You can friend me if you wish...One of my friends just left MFP recently... Reaan:bigsmile:

Yes, it IS harder to eat healthy in the winter...But you can do it if you really think about it...I think the main thing is to try to get enough exercise...Even though it's cold, go out for a walk...It will perk you up... Reaan:bigsmile:

Good job! Reaan:bigsmile:

Anything skinny--or water... Reaan

I am single because I have had several relationships that haven't worked out...THAT--and that I am picky... Reaan

FANTABULOUS jOB! Reaan:bigsmile:

ANY kind of pint of ice cream... Reaan:bigsmile:

Walking is very good exercise...Here in the States they recommend doing thirty minutes a day of walking, most days of the week(five)...This amount should tone you...I'd increase to an hour to lose weight...Keep your caloric content at, about, 1200 calories, and you should lose weight.... Reaan:bigsmile:

Somebody at work noticed that I had lost weight! Reaan:bigsmile:

Skinny hot chocolate! Reaan:bigsmile:

I weigh every week and take my measurements when I remember to do so!... Reaan

I need to lose, about, seventy pounds...Although I am not in chronic pain, I have osteoarthritis, which can be painful...Good luck in your journey... Reaan:bigsmile:

Congratulations! My cholesterol is, also, a little high...I'm not on medication, but I'm sure that if I had gotten any heavier, I would be...Thanks for a great story! Reaan:bigsmile:

That I stayed UNDER calories in spite of having two homemade enchiladas and a piece of chocolate cake for dessert!!! Reaan:smile:

Get a walk in...If I am up this early, I try to get in my exercise! Reaan:bigsmile:

I, also, find the weekends very difficult to NOT overeat...I try to make up for it by getting a lot of exercise...I don't know...It is tough for me period... Reaan:smile:

We have a PE program through my job...One of the emails I got recommended this site...I had/have been trying to lose weight, and it was free, so I thought I'd give it a try...I LOVE this site...You're right--you learn a lot about yourself, too...I have lost nineteen pounds, so far in three months... Reaan:bigsmile:

Feel free to add me, too...I have lost eighteen pounds and need to lose severnty altogether...Celebraing every ten pounds is a GREAT idea... REaan:smile:

Terrific loss! Reaan

You look so happy in the last photo! Keep it up! Reaan:smile:

Unbelievable! What an incredible story! Congrats! Reaan:bigsmile:

I'm, about, five nine and would like to get down to 170 pounds...I have been there before and it is a good weight for me...LONG WAY to go until I reach goal!!! hahaha Reaan:laugh:

Congrats on winning third place! Reaan

I am fifty six and I NEVER wanted kids of my own...I like children and they like me, I've just never wanted the responsibility, for various reasons...I don't regret this decision, in fact, I think it was one of the smartest I ever made...To each his own...Most people know if they'd make a good parent, or not... Reaan:happy:

Good question!--especially with the holidays coming up... Reaan:happy:
