I keep adjusting downward, and I actually need to stop. At my heaviest (way back in the day) I was 294, now I'm about 121. I'm having plastic surgery in October for skin removal and need to stop losing, because they estimate they'll remove about 6-8 lbs of skin. I'm 5'4.5 and was originally aiming for 135, then 130, then…

I cut out soda cold turkey as well as a variety of different food types, and I drank a LOT of Dt Mountain Dew (like 60 oz/day). 1) I have bad teeth and my dentist strongly recommended I stop, and 2) I have health issues that necessitate quitting. It made it relatively easy to quit, because it scared me to think of needing…

spices or cooking spray. Everything else (incl coffee) gets logged.

This, yep. I recently upped my workouts (mostly cardio, some strength training) and I am HUNGRY. I used to have insane willpower and think, "Well, I'll just go to bed hungry then". Yeah, no. Now that I'm in maintenance, I eat. And if I'm hungry at night after working out, I still eat more. I maintain a small deficit so on…

Grrrr I'm cranky... daycare called, son#2 is teething and has a fever of 99.4. WELL DUH he's teething! A low grade fever is normal. They insist we never gave them Motrin for him (we did) and DH has to come get him. He also has to be fever free for 24 hrs before we can send him back. HE'S TEETHING. Without Motrin, he will…

Right. He made ME Cringe, I can't imagine in person.

OH NO!!!!!!!!! Fingers crossed everything will be ok.

I like my eyes also. They change colors depending on what I wear and sunlight- sometimes they're yellow-gold, other times hazel and the green comes out more. I have them on my license as hazel, too, because gold-yellow-green with some ambery brown spots is too long to type lol :wink:

I'm 5'4.5 and started at 163.5, now at 127-128. Looking to maintain/maybe lose 2-3 lb. Pretty similar stats. You can do it!

I gained ridiculous amounts of weight both times due to bed rest, hyperemesis/forced IV fluids (IV fluids make you swell)- like I'm talking 60-80 lbs both times. I've lost it all and am now right about my pre-pg weight with #1, maybe a few pounds less. It helps that it was a lot of fluids both times, but sometimes your…

Poor puppy :( Fingers crossed!

I'm scared to death of fire and things like that keep me up at night. I was never a "kid person" when I was younger and still don't enjoy all kids (but I love my own and a few others, obviously lol), and I never got it when I heard stories of parents doing that but I do now. I in no way have a death wish but if it comes…

My 3.5 yr old tells me all the time that my stomach is so "wrinkly it's snuggly" and then pets it. I never yell at him about it, because 3 yrs old, but I hate it every time.

OK so I am back from my mini Vacation (we didn't go anywhere; I just had doctor consults and didn't want to be at work for a few days). Trying to catch up with everyone but with 900 new posts...not sure how well I'll do. Wed I had doctor consults for my surgeries all day and...discussed it with DH and I booked surgeries…

Yep yep I agree with everyone else! I went on a baking spree this past weekend and managed to not cram my face full of soy free/gluten free/dairy free cake and bread and PannuKakku and flapjacks... it was awesome!

This is how I feel. I eat lower carb, less refined sugar, watch my dairy, all because I have health conditions. I guess I kinda sorta inadvertently follow Paleo/lower carb/whatever the fad is this week. It helps my health problems when I eat that way and I feel a LOT better when I avoid dairy and soy other than trace…

I like the way they taste but they NEVER sit well with me and I always forget it until I try to eat them again :( I hadn't had any in like 6 months and then had 2-3 bars last week. Holy bloated, uncomfortable feeling, bathroom issues! And that was WITH eating them like 1/2 or 1/3 of a bar a day, so I spread it out. I…

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO :( I'm so sorry. *hugs*

I'm getting mine fixed. I'll need chest reduction, arms, and tummy tuck. Probably more but that's enough surgeries for me. We are not rich, and I am terrified of something going wrong, but...losing 170 lbs wrecks your body. I actually can't even work out the way I want without rubbing the skin, getting rashes, etc. :/ I…

Trying to catch up but I'm so far behind I don't know if I can even join in... May just start fresh today ;)

Um...lol that's 13 miles! Go on and eat your pizza!

Ah I've been so out of this thread I forgot she was leaving soon! YAY!!!! So jealous and HAVE FUN!

I did it once, too, and never again. I will never again be there at the exact last moment. When I put my ChiPom down, I held his paw and I can't shake the memory of how it was. I wish I could remember him any other way.

Mmmm Canadian bacon and pancetta... Everything else pork is pretty much meh to me.

And I missed this yesterday too. I'm so sorry :( I know taking a break from exercise stinks and the whole, ya know, getting something cut off you. GL!

I totally forgot to comment yesterday- I skimmed the thread but couldn't really post but I'm excited for you and Mr. Official Kyler :) We still want dating stories though ;) I live vicariously through people lol.

Our FDA is so bizarre :( And for the record, I can't stand fizzy drinks or the colored fruity pebbles type cereal, either.

I'm 33 and going back to grad school again for my MS. I worked full-time office work 50+ hrs/week on my way through my BA, BS, MA, and MBA- never had the typical college experience with drinking til ya puke and all that. Did some CLEP tests so tested out of stuff, community college, online courses, whatever I could pay…

We did the recipe from Well Fed. They turned out awesome. Same concept as IBIH pretty much

My body type is such that this is about all I could aspire to, too (assuming skin removal to even SEE the abs). I mostly want her pants and hair.
