We're nice in this thread :) I mostly hang out in here and not out on main threads too much.

And woot! I stepped on the scale today and my body finally released the stupid 2-4 lbs of water (it varied) it held on to for this past week and even gave me another -1 lb for my wait. So now I'm down 17 pounds. With another 23 lbs to go until goal. That makes me feel awesome. I've been feeling kind of…

I never saw the original post (thread moves so fast!) but I wanted to say thank you to Caitwn for the time you took to type that out. It's pretty much the conclusion I've come to, as well. I live in the Detroit area. There is no private sector job here with the security that government work can offer, none. I think I look…

I changed my pre-logged foods for tonight, so I should end up with 63% fat/27% protein/9% carbs. No exercise tonight, either, and I'll see how I feel.

I'm wondering if I should back off the fiber. The flax muffins I make have something like 15 g for 2 of them?

I think I'm at too high of protein as well. Everything that sits ok in my stomach is a protein shake, cheese, fat bomb. If I were to eat steak, broccoli, and cheese, I'd be in the bathroom sick right after. Unless I do the shakes and fat bombs, I have a hard time getting enough protein in. Sometimes all I can stomach is 1…

5'4.5, about 156-157. It fluctuates. I'm thinking of slowing down on the exercise for a bit. My deficit may be too aggressive right now.

I dropped that today, hoping to see what it will do. Vegs I have a hard time with, but I can do cooked spinach, avocado, or kale. I have stomach issues so broccoli, mushrooms, onions, all sit rough in my stomach.

Insulin Resistant/Pre-diabetic, I also had RNY surgery in 2009 so I still have a hard time digesting more than a couple ozs of meat at a sitting. A lot of veggies get "stuck" and cause dumping, i.e. broccoli send me to the bathroom within about 10 mins of eating. Last time my Dr checked, my A1C was improving and thyroid…

Bumping for help :)

I'll just ditto you, because this is ALL kinds of correct and exactly how I feel.

What I think- Oh.Hell.No. Nopenopenope There would be a come to Jesus meeting in my house.

You, I like. You can stay in this thread ;) I try Yoga. I love the stretching part but I can't get my Downward Dog to bend at all and I end up doing what I like to call the Flopping Fish instead. I like Zumba but I kina look like a deranged zebra. Walking fast and lifting weights is what I like more. I can do it, I don't…

Good job!

Think ours was a Thursday? At the courthouse in august, then we had the wedding ceremony/reception (his parents paid for it) in January. I consider January our anniversary but I never wanted a wedding. I did it to make them happy.

So… I mostly need a place to noodle this around and get it out. I work for my State as a government analyst, so I have to be kinda vague and can't get into specifics. I make decent $, not great. Job security is awesome, but I like $ and I like to be challenged. I have an MBA already and I’m feeling the itch to go back and…

I told ya! It was an awesome show. I was so happy I went!

The remake was terrible :( Kevin Bacon all the way!

Yes, I am, because I've lost 160 lbs and maintained that loss for 7 years. I gained 40 of it back from pregnancy and I'm on my way to losing that now, where I'll keep it off again. 16 of that gone, 24 to go. It stinks, and it's taking me longer this time, but I'll eventually get there.

I have 11 tats and they're all covered by work clothes (although my ankle ones are stretching it, it only covers if I wear pants, which I do). I'm very careful to always be professional looking at work.

My confession today is that I spent all weekend kind of in a funk because the scale went up 2 lbs. I forced myself to have a good weekend with the boys (went to the zoo/dino exhibit, downtown street market/fair, walked around downtown, rode the train, was outside tons) and then this morning the frickin scale was still up…

I lovelovelove Rob Zombie. Have all his movies, all the CDs of his and White Zombie lol... I'm a nut.

Oh please, please can I hang with the cool kids in the group too?! :D

I saw NKOTB/TLC/Nelly last Friday and it was an AWESOME show!!!! SO good! It was cheesy!

That made me snort lol. So true.

oh I missed this! Happy happy birthdays!!!

Yep, I didn't get the "carb flu" (which to me, is what that describes) until week 4. Now I'm in it. I was crabby/angry, hangry, now I'm exhausted and want to nap. I had 3 weeks of "Oh this is NBD; I feel great" and this week I want to combo "kill all the things/nap all day".

Yayyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm excited for you! Can't wait to be there myself!!! Awesome job!

Oh I totally do this too! And then when I recreate them, I try to fit them more into my diet plan. or if I can't, then I change the rest of the food for my day. I love pretty food. I'm totally a visual person/eater.

So my confession for today- I've lost 15 lb now (yay!) I think my body doesn't like it. I'm lazy as anything today, and yesterday I was too. I had energy the last few weeks, now my body is all "nope". My Fitbit isn't smiling at me, I just want to curl up on the couch, and I'm totally phoning in the exercise. I did my 15…
