So, this is at least the 2nd thread with either lgbt or lesbian in the topic title in the last few weeks that has been deleted very soon after it was opened. The mods said the other was deleted at the OP's request. Now I'm wondering if it isn't more about homophobia. :grumble:

I love your story......the courage and willingness to start on a path to a healthier you! When I look at your photos, I see FREEDOM! You dedicated yourself to your release! Kudos to you!!! :flowerforyou:

Hey, quit your yolking around! :angry: I take my eggs serious!!:wink:

My go-to daily drink is Celestial Seasonings Bengal Spice herbal tea which has a slightly sweet and spicy flavor. I make a big batch in the morning with several tea bags and only a small amount of boiling water. Throughout the day, as wanted, just add cold or hot water, and dilute to taste. For a low, but not zero, calorie…

These are amazingly good and have a nice texture: http://www.ambitiouskitchen.com/2013/07/flourless-almond-butter-dark-chocolate-chunk-cookies-with-sea-salt-gluten-free-amazingly-good/

Lots of great suggestions so far! Our local hospital has made a series of exercise videos designed with larger people in mind. The 20 minute warm-up got me started on my path to a healthier me and I now do hour long workouts full tilt. I had to get willing to be completely soaked with sweat and not be worried about what…

Bump is a word often used to indicate that the poster wants to see the thread on their Home page, to refer back to later....or maybe indicating that they are bringing the thread back to life on the message boards. Either could be true in this case.

For those of you who, like me, didn't take trigonometry.....this is math related! :ohwell: PS: I didn't want to look like a complete dunce, so I googled it instead of asking here.....:wink:

OMG.....can't stop watching! LOL! ......I hope they were all okay! :ohwell:

Here's a tip for the trolling for tips on tipping........just. don't. :noway:

I think you're asking about main dish comfort foods, but......when I think of a comfort food, I think of baked custard....made with milk, eggs and some sweetener ( I use maple syrup.....the kind that comes from the tree :wink: ). You could also try this for a main dish:…

Since you are sweating a lot, I wonder if you may need to replenish your electrolytes which can be depleted with lots of exercise and sweating. Many sports drinks have added sodium chloride and potassium chloride. I occasionally take a supplement with 7 cell salts which addresses more than sodium and potassium, because I…

I concur: 10 lbs should do it! Lovely dress and you will be lovely in it!
