If you want to send me a message, I'm always glad for challenge friends!

Just added you!

This is how my DH and I are, also. There's only so much I can control about how he lives (and vice-versa), but we can both control how we react to it - and a wicked sense of humor makes it so much more fun!

Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey - we have three of us lifting (spouse, son and I) so I have started to order the 10-pound bags from Amazon for $111. We have Amazon prime, so no shipping ;) It's one of the best for no additives, and doesn't have sucralose (which I can't stand). We add things depending on who's making…

I should probably note that I stay within my macros - I lift heavy three times a week, I do cardio 3-5 times a week (depending on what else is going on in my life) so I have a lot of calories to work with. And I've lost 80 pounds in a little over a year (still have a lot to go). It's just that I'm wondering if anyone else…

Wonderful - and Happy (belated) Birthday!

The Zombies, Run app is awesome - there are several out there to make the routes more interesting. :)

I finally tried cauliflower rice for the first time last week - and I'm making more tonight. I could literally eat it at every meal - perfect flavor and texture. I saute'd mine with minced garlic, parsley, 1 tablespoon of butter, and salt and pepper. One night I sprinkled with a little Parmesan, another I mixed with…

To finally feel that I look like I match my spouse in looks and fitness level.

OMG - best post today.

We were just talking about Tate last night with the kids (I'm a parent of 5 teenagers, and don't bother to filter their media). The girls think he's sexy, and regardless of his character name from the other seasons, every year we continue to call him Tate. ;)

This is the movie that made me officially say "I will no longer watch animal movies". Not ever. Even now, the trauma hasn't faded. *sob*

And now I think I love you. As a recently relocated, former Texan, we need to stop putting Texas governors in the White House. Seriously, just don't.

I do too - and yes, I think it's a lot more normal for women than we are led to believe!

Me too - I keep telling my spouse how hard it is to make friends as an adult. We're either busy with work, kids, activities (or for me, the gym 6 days a week). At this point I consider him my closest friend, and we have a blast, but I miss having a group of "girlfriends".

I understand, trust me. My fiance' and I met when I was 22 and in a post-divorce thin phase. He was then deployed overseas, and we didn't reconnect until last year (that's a 13-year gap). While he loves me and chases me around the bedroom, I feel terrible that I look/weigh what I do now. But - I finally confessed what my…

:( I'm sorry. I did this in October, and it totally stalled my efforts for over 4 months (I had alternatives, I just chose to be an *kitten* and whine about not being able to run instead). I hope it heals quickly!

Ahem - I don't do *this*, but very, very similar things with other songs. (shame on me) This is the singular paragraph, out of the last week of not doing jack s*it at work, that made me bark out a laugh loud enough to get my boss' attention. Good grief, that's funny.

Whoo hoo! That's my first goal, very proud of you!

It's a personal challenge, and it's a difficult one. But I feel fine (truly). Breaking that food addiction and resetting my tastes a little are the major motivation - the quick weight loss really isn't. I'm all too aware that that water weight will come back, etc. And if it makes anyone feel better, I am being Dr.…

Confession: Today is day 8 of a 30-day "Reboot with Joe", which means today is my first weigh-in day. I'm down 11.2 pounds. While I'm sure that half of that is water weight, I'm still relieved that I saw a huge loss because I modified the juicing a little to fit my workouts (protein shake after my weight-training days,…

Lol! Perfect.

I agree - that's a back-handed compliment if I've ever heard one. On the other hand, you're damn attractive and I wish I looked as good as you now! ;)

Oh yes, she has a hard time putting on weight. And you know what, I don't want that problem either. I earned my fat with some really, really good food over the years, and I like my curves (just a lot less curvy). I've lost 70 pounds over the last year just eating human portions - now that isn't working and I've had to…

I confess that I'm feeling a little stabby towards my 100-pound co-worker who is happily munching on Wendy's fries and a burger while my stomach is loudly protesting. It's not her fault, and I'm glad she can literally eat what she wants without worry... but it would be so much easier if I didn't work in an office of…

MFP needs a like button. Or a +1. I'll take either....

My (soldier) husband is 38, and can still literally eat whatever he wants. Tasty Cake? Sure. Fast food lunches? Okies. Huge steak dinners? No problem. If he notices a little chub, he stops eating like that for 5 days and it's gone. Sometimes I get so jealous of this it makes me sick. (On his behalf, he loves my big butt…

This - we have two, my husband uses one exclusively and use both - I just record the more flattering one.

Coconut oil - my husband licks it off a spoon, and I just can't manage to mix it in my oatmeal. Bleck!
