Just saw The Big Sick. It was great. :)

My mother did that diet in the 1980s and started having major heart palpitations 3 days in. No thank you.

Cake from a bakery. A big moist cupcake that was freshly baked, piled high with frosting, is my drug. Ask my husband where he ranks among things I love, and he'll tell you that he's somewhere after cake (and our cats LOL).

jeeeeeeesus! congratulations!

I'm thinking about asking my company for one of those standing desk brackets, because sitting all day for sometimes 10-12 hours a day is taking its toll. I was finally able to break my worst habit, which was hitting the vending machine down the hall every afternoon for a bag of Fritos and some chocolate chip cookies. Ugh.…

Ooh! I just thought of another one. A couple of years ago I went to see Vincent D'Onofrio do this weird spoken word performance thing at Joe's Pub (at the Public Theater) in NY. I'm waiting in the theater lobby waiting to get into the pub space, and Chelsea Clinton walks by (pretty cool)... then this tall dude in a…

Spectacular! Thanks for the inspiration!!!!

Westville is absolutely delicious... the food is mostly veggie (although the salmon is awesome) and there are several locations.

5' here (4'11" on a bad day). Always looking for new friends for motivation!

I've done WW probably 7 or 8 times over the years... Quitting them for good was, for me, a few things: - having a hard time fitting the weekly weigh-in into my schedule, which made me frustrated and prone to skip it - everyone around me was trying to cheat the system -- one of my meetings was next door to a Dunkin' Donuts,…

"Holding on to resentment is like taking poison and waiting for the other person to die." "It's better to prepare and prevent, than repair and repent." - a former WW leader of mine "Losing weight is hard. Being overweight is hard. Choose your hard." - unsure of the originator, but I read it here on the MFP boards and it's…

I took it back when it was part of the Fen/Phen combo a lot of doctors were prescribing. It gave me headaches, but that was my only big side effect. It felt like a miracle, I'd eat like 1 shrimp at dinner and feel stuffed. Lost 15 pounds in a month and felt like I'd found my miracle weight loss solution. Then a co-worker,…

I'm a big fan of turkey roll-ups -- taking a slice of deli turkey (such as Applegate, which has less junk in it) and wrapping it with a slice of cheese around cucumber sticks and sliced peppers. Put a bunch of the rolls in a container and you have high protein, low carb, and some veggies all together. Also -- as you start…

Just finished "Stick With It" last week (all about the science of habit change)... it was so helpful I'm planning to read it again in another month or so. Before that it was "In Wilderness"... fantastic piece of fiction, unlike anything I've read before.

Having been through something similar with my dad, I know what a toll it can take and how eating something pleasurable is sometimes the "self-care" your brain goes to in order to have some enjoyment in your day. I'm so sorry you're going through this. Feel free to add me as a friend in case you ever need to vent. I agree…

Easiest recipe ever for chicken breasts: coat them in hummus and squeeze a bit of lemon juice over them before putting them in the oven. The moisture from the hummus keeps the chicken moist, but the outside also crusts up a little bit. Absolutely delicious!

Saw "The Big Sick" (great movie) Cooked a lot Cleaned the house Practiced my drums Mani/pedi (my reward every time I lose another 5 lbs) Bought a smaller pair of jeans that I hope to wear in another couple of weeks :smiley: Hung out on the patio with the hubs and listened to tiki music as the sun set
-
@SuperDivvy - in the same boat as you -- about to turn 47 and weighed in at 220 a couple of weeks ago. Just got a mani/pedi yesterday, it's the little "carrot" I'm using to help incent me to stay on track -- I can only get one once I've lost 5 lbs since the last salon visit. :)

I met Richard Hatch (Battlestar Galactica) and Sigourney Weaver when I was doing extra work on TV and movies over the years. And some guy who was on Gossip Girl, I forget his name. Sigourney Weaver is super nice and like 8 feet tall. I worked in NY until recently and used to run into celebs all the time -- Damian Lewis,…

Me too!!!!!

Chicken in a balsamic cream sauce, and stewed zucchini with mint and basil.

Congratulations! And love your style -- the Spring 2017 dress is totes adorbs!

Sleep disruption is super tough the first week or two. My husband and I bought some Natural Calm at Whole Foods (recommended by W30 for this) and it helped. Just be sure to take the small dose they recommend and work your way up... too much and it'll act as a laxative! LOL
-
Philly in the house! :)
-
@gearhead426hemi , I've never seen chickens that looked like that. I'm so curious, what's the difference?
-
Sherri, good luck with the sleep study! I did one a few years ago and it changed my life.

Morning, everyone! Jumping in to share a behavior yesterday that I'm really proud of. Yesterday my team had a meeting in my company's training center... as part of the fee you pay for using a training room, you get breakfast, lunch, and morning and afternoon snacks. You're given a paper wristband that allows you access to…

I'm 5' as well (4'11" on a bad day :smiley: )... My goal is 110, but I have a lot more to lose than you. So right now I'm at 1440 calories until some of these first pounds come off...
-
Yay! Season 2 was just as good, I was so bummed that it didn't come back...

Yes! Kalua Pig... OM NOM NOM!!!!!
