That's awesome! Way to go!! Those same guys were my friends, too. For nearly 25 years... I quit for the final time in March, 2011. Hardly miss them at all. All of my smokey friends make that tough sometimes - but, I know myself and I can't just have one here or there. I've got to be all or none - and I choose none. It's so…

When I'm on the elliptical or treadmill or somesuch, I'm totally into a book or TV show or trying to remind myself not to sing out loud, etc... so I never notice others, what they're doing, how fast they're going, levels, etc. I am totally oblivious to the rest of them. When I'm doing my weights or the circuit - I can't…

Amazing! You are simply stunning. What a transformation. I'm also 5"10 and am so glad to see that this sort of change is truly possible! Thank you for sharing your progress, such an inspiration!!

I signed up for OKCupid, as well. It's been hit or miss - but, I'm definitely having fun, and have gotten some great stories out of the experiences. :-) The above advice is very sound, and actually easy to follow. Just be aware and pay attention to signs and clues. Never knew MFP was also a dating site! HA! It's delightful…

Look at all these awesome Georgia peeps! Decatur, here - dotting in.

Lots of great suggestions, can't wait to check some of them out. I recently watched Extract - sure do love that Jason Bateman! and have just gotten into House of Cards - the incomparable Kevin Spacey really delivers. Both very entertaining - in completely different ways, though. :-)

I also weigh in daily. Like many, I am a data collector, and appreciate being able to use this information to see how water, sodium, alcohol, working out, and not working out affect my daily weight. Because my scale is connected to MFP, I need to figure out how to turn that notification off. I love getting the WTG!…

Good idea! I bet I can. I bet I could even get some co-workers to go in on the cost of it, as we'd all benefit from being able to bring in better options. Thanks!! We do have a cafeteria here, as well. So the times I have chosen to get something else, I can make proper choices from the hot or salad bar... I just have to…

Dotting in. :) I need some new ideas. I had been packing leftovers from previous dinners, and realized I don't care much for leftovers. They didn't reheat well in the work microwave, were too high in fats and carbs, and I'd find myself looking for excuses to get something else. Then I began bringing simple salads, with…

Thank you! This sort of support (and the associated encouragement) is why I'm on MFP. Thanks for bringing back the positives!! Keep moving toward your own good!

I am trying to do just that, as well. This is a lifestyle change for me, not something where making short term changes are going to be the solution. I don't want to stop drinking socially just to lose the weight, then find that I gain it all back when I think I'm done. Or stop eating carbs or having the occasional…

Fantastic information! Thanks for sharing.

Well said!! Saving this to my inspiration boards. Even though I am a very special snowflake, :-) I've got a mighty long road ahead, and am already planning for the days when I want to fret over the slowness, or look for an easier road. So, I have made a space of reminders and tools to help me focus on what I know... my…

What an inspiration! Thank you for sharing your progress, and amazing achievements. I've just started and wondered if I can keep it up day after day, and really kick this once and for all. You are proof positive that it can be done. :up: Simply fantastic!!

This has been so enlightening! I am a capital B! :-) Now to work on the weight loss, exercise, posture, and wear only pants that fit my waist. I'm so on it! I've been most concerned about this area. I'm so glad to hear that I'm not alone, and that it may change... And even if it doesn't all go away, it'll be a lot smaller.
-
Too many - soo hilarious! Dotting in to save my place.

May I steal this for my inspiration wall? :-) Wonderfully said!! I hope that I will be. I've just begun, so I'm trying to start with lots of positive mind bits. Start the way you want to finish, right?
