I had picked my daughter up from the airport after her visit with my sister. We were on our way home, waiting for the light rail. A woman walked up and asked me how much I weighed and proceeded to tell me how horrible a parent I was to my gorgeous daughter for being so fat.

Recipe here: http://www.raininghotcoupons.com/breaking-bad-cupcakes-recipe/ this one does use Rock Candy. lol

People are offended by entirely too much these days. I'm a recovering meth addict and I don't find them offensive in least. besides they look pretty. For anyone who hasn't seen Breaking Bad, they're just pretty blue cupcakes.

I've worried about the saggy skin thing too. I usedto weigh 351 lbs. I still have over a 100 lbs left to go, even after losing 80lbs. I'm 40 years old. It's extremely likely that saggy skin will be an issue. But I have come to the conclusion that I would rather have saggy skin that the giant rolls of fat I have now. :)

I'm 1 lb shy of a small bale of hay.

"The hardest part of any journey is taking the first step" and my absolute favorite: "Nobody trips over mountains. It's the small pebble that causes you to stumble. Pass all the pebbles in your path and you will find you have crossed the mountain."

Congrats! You look great!

I do a smoothie everyday for lunch. I use almond milk, yogurt, and a variety of fruits and veggies. Today I had Kale, peach and blackberry. Sometimes I use spinach instead of kale. Berries are really good for over powering the kale and spinach so you don't taste it. Sometimes, for breakfast, I'll have an omelette with…

Diet soda makes me hungry. So I don't drink it. I'll have water.

Mine is open. Feel free to message me for recipes, if you're so inclined.

We have 6 cats. We want a dog, but can't really have one where we live. I love big dogs. Hubby and I both want a Husky, but I also want a Great Dane and I want to rescue a Pit Bull. When the time comes, whatever kind of pup we get will come from a shelter.

I'm all for breastfeeding, although, sadly it didn't work out for me. I had too many problems. I won't judge somebody either way. If your baby is healthy and happy is all that matters.

What's made it easier for me, is just to double up on my veggies and eat those first, that way by the time I get to the rice, potatoes, pasta, etc, I'm full and don't eat as much of it. Veggies and protein first. It has helped me a lot. Good luck!

Umm... if she has heart problems it could. I have congestive heart failure. I can't have that much salt. OP, cook your own foods. I very rarely eat prepackaged stuff, it's all high in sodium. And yes, when they take the fat out of things they need to add flavor. Not to mention, sodium is a preservative, so double sodium…

I use stevia. Sometimes honey or agave nectar. But mostly stevia. The only problem I have with stevia is in hot drinks, it kind of gets an aftertaste, in everything else it's fine. Personally, I'm trying to cut way back on my refined sugar because it's addictive to me. I have a little and I want more. Stevia is perfect for…

I accept everyone. I mean we're here for support, not popularity and dating. Well, at least I am. I will accept and encourage anyone. If they turn out to be a douche, they get deleted. So far I've had no problems. The people who have added me comment and encourage me and I do the same.

My kids have done better since we moved to schools with no uniforms. At their old middle school, where they had uniforms, my daughter got bullied. Mostly for her hair, because it's frizzy and hard to tame. My son hated school and got horrible grades. Since we moved a year and a half ago and they have no uniforms they're…

I'm 5'5" at my heaviest I weighed 351. I gt down to 282 and gained a lot of it back. When I came to MFP I was 320. I'm now down to 280. My profile pic shows me at my 351 weight in 2011, just before my wedding and a little over a week ago at 283. I still have a long way to go, but I'm focused and I wiill get there!

Oddly enough...t he Move It Move It song from Madagascar. lol

What I see here is an addict making excuses and looking for an easy way out. You stopped drugs, you know what to do, do it. Go to Overeaters Anonymous. work your steps. Do whatever you have to do to work a program. There is no easy way out of anything. You ARE an addict. If you got off drugs, you should know this. Stop…

I use facebook, but I don't feed the drama llamas. I use it to keep in contact with people, I enjoy talking to and family. I also follow inspirational pages. I block games and remove anyone who starts drama.

I have mine as my profile picture. The first was taken just before my wedding in April 2011. I lost 70 lbs, but last year I fell off the wagon and gained 40 back. As of today, I have lost that 40 again. In 2011, I was 351 lbs. Today I weighed in at 280. I still have a long way to go. But I'm feeling better every week!

Yep, I agree with everyone else BIG difference! You look great! I couldn't see my differences much either, until I had my son take a current picture of me wearing the same dress I took a picture in 2 years ago. It's hard to see it in ourselves..

I am a recovering addict, ex smoker and ex soda drinker. If I can do all that, you can stop drinking diet coke. You have to WANT to do it. I haven't done drugs in 7 years, had a cigarette in 6 1/2 years and I gave up soda a year ago. I drink sparkling waters because I crave the bubbles. I recently had to give up coffee as…

Eat the ice cream. I get skinny cow, tastes just as good, less calories. Fit it in. :wink:

On here, I accept anyone. If they turn out to be a jerk, I'll delete them. Haven't had that come up yet, fortunately.

Tainted Love - Marilyn Manson Land of Confusion - Disturbed Sweet Dreams- Marilyn Manson And not better, but damned good - Another Brick in the Wall - Korn I also agree with AAF Smooth Criminal and Johnny Cash, Hurt, every time I hear it I cry. lol

You look AMAZING! Don't even look like the same person! Congrats!

My babies ♥:heart: Edit: Onyx, Shade and Silver are all rescued alley cats. Onyx and Silver were born to a feral Mama and I fed them for a couple of months before bringing them in and giving them a home. Shade was a lost stray no one ever claimed. Morpheus is still pretty much feral, but He stays in my garden, chases other…
