Happy Birthday! Think of it this way... Are you planning to NEVER have take out again? You already made a great move by having a piece of cake, just a smaller piece. Why not do the same here? Start NOW eating the way you plan to eat for the rest of your life. Why restrict yourself now, lose the weight, and then not know…

Hi! You'd find it eventually, but to get you there sooner, up at the top of the page you'll see "Groups"... Type in "Gamers" maybe even "MTG" and there will be some specific groups you can join and find fellow gamers. Good Luck! :happy:

Bump and in the Austin area. :happy:

^^This :happy: Just reinforcing what everyone is saying... It's just for a few days... You'll hop right back on track. Enjoy your family! Enjoy the food! Also think of it as practice for the fast approaching holidays (Enjoy the day (Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc.), then back on track). We'll have a lifetime of…

I kind of found this out by accident.... But for a while there our garden was producing squash and zucchini faster than I could eat them without getting burnt out on them... I made a fruit smoothie one afternoon... While I was getting the ingredients together my eyes landed on the pile of squash... I thought about how…

I want to hear about your trip next year. :happy: Friend request just sent. :happy:

Then stick to the fun stuff. And trying to justify the elliptical by shaving 2 minutes off (88 instead of 90) just intensifies that it's becoming a problem. Again... Mention it to your doctor.

^^THIS^^

Then you're just leading yourself into another unhealthy lifestyle. Please at least mention it to your doctor. He or she needs to know all the variables (and that's a big one) so they can help you.

I mean no disrespect and I'm no expert, but maybe ask your doctor about your excessive exercise. And no rest days? You need to give your body a chance to rest and repair itself. Leisurely walking your dog is one thing, but everything you're adding to it on top of it? Everyday? If you don't exercise as much, you won't need…

Congrats on the progress you've already made! About to send you a friend request.

Glad that I could help change your (and hopefully others) mind(s). It was worth the little bit of embarrassment.

^^This. And if you're going to eat low fat to reduce the side effects then you're wasting your money because this is their sole purpose.

Short and (not so) sweet... If you eat pizzalike foods the discharge will be orange. If you eat olive oil based foods you discharge will be green. The discharge is pure oil... Oil and toilet water DON'T mix and oil floats. It DOES smell. The smell lingers and is hard to get rid of. It DOES stick to the sides of the toilet…

Friend request about to be sent. :happy:

Congrats on your success so far! Friend request sent. :glasses:

Hi! Add me if you'd like. :-)

Hi! Add me if you'd like. :-)

Enjoy! As long as you plan on getting back on track tomorrow, there's nothing wrong with going over today (I am. :-) I do on weekends and makes it easier to stick with it during the week. Besides, today is National Ice Cream Day! :-)) Just try to drink a little extra water tomorrow to help with the sodium.

Hi! Good question. Wish I had the answer for you. Maybe ask it on one of the other Forums where you might get a better response from those who have been here longer. :-)'s

Hi and welcome! I would stick with calories. Basically start learning now how you plan on eating for the long run (unless you planning on staying low carb permanently). Yes, low carb works for some people, but they usually gain it back when they get off it because they didn't learn how to eat in the meantime. That's what…

:bigsmile: I love when this thread pops up every month or so and more friend requests show up in my in box! I love the friends on my list, but it's always nice to welcome some new ones. Have a great rest of the day everyone! :bigsmile:

True, but wish I was better at it. TNP likes vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup rather than just chocolate ice cream.

The standard response... A real bathing suit (not a tankini or shorts and t-shirt (not even going to dream about a bikini (yet?))). P.S. Not to stir up any animosity... But if you decide to give out your $100 (which is a great idea), please consider donating it to an organization of you choice instead. I know there are…

Hi! I'm far from college age anymore :-), but wanted to remind you (since you're not new you should be aware of) to use the "Search" and "Groups" options. I just typed in "Christians" in both and came up with results in both. Many :happy: s

I know it will seem like such a small thing (and it is :-)), but I take my multivitamin, b-complex, and energy b12 (Vitafusion brand) in the form of a gummy drop. I take them after I eat lunch so it actually helps curb the little sweet tooth I get after finishing my savory lunch. :happy:

Let me start of by saying I'm a yoyo weightloser/weight gainer also, so I mean no disrespect when I say that with being a yoyoer, you know the drill... We go through these spells/ups and downs. By knowing this you can now work on pushing through it. Reread your profile to remind yourself why your here, add to it to…

Giving up sweets was what works for you. Everyone is different. To me, being successful is finding a balance (of food and exercise) that you can live and be happy with and can maintain and become healthier (whether that's losing, gaining, or maintaining your weight) in the process. I'm just letting the OP know she doesn't…
