  • Buddies-flirt-hot affair, in that order please
  • I'm not a mom, but I am an emotional eater/food addict. I am taking control of my life and I'll tell you, dealing with the stress in my life without turning to food (especially sugar) and having just quit smoking, has been extremely hard. I have a stressful job, am taking 3 classes (working on my bachelors) and have just…
  • I've been on the site for about 3 weeks now and am rapidly becoming addicted to it.....not like I have an addictive nature or anything :tongue: I am a lifelong emotional eater.....I come from an alcholic household that was constantly in chaos. My maternal grandmother was my primary caregiver. She was a food addict and…
  • Before I started on here I had already quit eating pork and beef (for humane reasons). The things I miss the most are bacon (it's the gateway meat) and country fried steak with milk gravy. I have craved it sooo badly. I've only been tracking my food for about two weeks now and haven't had to face the temptation of fried…
  • Hi there, I'm 40 and am divorced, no human kids just three furry ones :smile: I like to cook but struggle to cook just for me, especially as I have had gastric bypass surgery and don't particularly like left overs. I'm now cooking for the week on Sunday and just reheating through out the week with a lot of salads thrown…
  • Your starting weight for August: 280 Your personal goal for August: 276 Your personal self-challenge for August: Work on being under my sugar grams each day and add strength training the workouts I do at least 3 days a week Weigh in dates: 8/7 8/14 8/21 8/28
  • Hey now, let's keep this topic clean......jk! :tongue: We're going to do some White Wolf Changeling Saturday night......I'm so lucky to be surrounded by other gamer geeks. We're like...hmmmm...we're all broke but we want to get together and have some fun....what should we do? GAME!
  • Hola other folks who dare not put their pics on "Hot or Not" :drinker:
  • Thanks so much for the information. Glad to know I can start off where I'm comfortable and focus on the exercises and not my anxiety about how badly it's going to hurt putting pressure on my knee!
  • Maybe, at least he's a guy so there's a chance :tongue:
  • I had gastric bypass in July 2004. I started at about 500 lbs. I lost down to 230 at my lowest point and have regained up to 284. Now I am here to help myself really get control of my issues. I am a sugar addict and that has never changed. I am so glad I had the surgery. At least now I am at a healthy enough weight that I…
  • Kiss, lick, bite, spank...wait, who took away spank? :)
  • You are a hero....seriously.....there are people who have been "in shape" their whole lives who wouldn't have attempted that. I know you feel like death warmed over, but this accomplishment will always be with you. No one can ever take that victory from you. I think you're awesome! :glasses:
  • I can't help with the sugar grams the way I make it, but I can tell you how I make it and you could use artificial sweeterner if you use those.....you can buy Bustelo espresso powder at Publix. Put a tablespoon of it in a cup, add appropriate sweeterner, add water to about half way up the cup to disolve. Add ice.....top…
  • I'm currently a project manager in telecom, but I'm in school for psychology. I have about 3 semesters left to get my bachelors and then I'll go to graduate school for rehabilitation counseling. My ultimate goal is to be a therapist in private practice, probably focusing on issues in the Queer community, especially…
  • Before I had gastric bypass surgery in 2004, I weighed about 500 lbs. I was able to do Leslie Sansone's DVDs so I definitely recommend them like many others here. Also fun are the Zumba Wii game and it can really kick your butt! Start off small....don't overwhelm yourself with impossible goals in the beginning. If you fail…
  • We used to be avid campers, and we tried a few times to game while in the woods.....it invariably rains everytime we go so after a few ruined char sheets, lost dice, poor tequila worms used as props, we gave up and left well enough alone :wink:
  • They are sort of a peripheral villian right now. The biggest issue is the extra planer beings called the Skeergra. They are sort of beholder esque without being psionic. They are causing problems all over the place, every time we encounter serious issues they always seem to be behind it. They are actually puppetiring the…
  • Gamer girl here! I have been gaming with the same group (give or take a couple of members) since I first started gaming at the age of 19 (it's been 21 years, you do the math). We mostly play fantasy campaigns, but we have lots of folks who are into White Wolf as well. We're in Atlanta and some of my friends did play…
  • It's sort of convuluted....one of those games that started off with one person running it and then someone else took over. It's high fantasy, set in a world where a thousand years ago a race of lizard men (sauron) came to our world to take over and mine octarines (high point power stones) that are abundant in an area of…
  • Especially if its 420 while you're gaming. The calories add up fast!
  • My friend James has that book. He hadn't broken it out in years, but someone is playing a female half-devil in our current game who used to be a temple prostitute and has spells like "Ecstacy" etx. James broke the book out so we could decide what spells she needs to take next :wink:
  • Thanks a lot! I am totally down with joining that group......I have never played whatever game that the skit came from (I'm not a video gamer) but my friends who are had to show it to me. That's the first thing I thought too, whoever wrote that knows what they're talking about :laugh: I am the only female gamer in a group…
  • Thanks robdel for posting that link to body types! I'm not sure though what I really am.....I have never been a healthy weight my entire life so I can't rely on memories of adolescence to help determine. The only test that gives me a clear answer is that my thumb and middle finger overlap when encircling my wrist, so maybe…
  • "Are there girls there? I want to do them."
  • It happens
  • And the Mt Dew! :tongue: It's funny, my friends and I were talking last weekend about how, as we have aged, our gaming food has gone from Doritos and Mt Dew to veggies with dip, more homemade stuff, better choices......but we still have to have the pretzel rods at every game.
  • Hey fellow Georgian!
  • I totally understand where you're coming from....most of my friends are married with kids, we don't go out much anymore....when we do it's to gay bars with our gay friends and well, the view might be nice there but it's not doing me any good :ohwell: I've tried the online dating scene, but the only place I've had any…
  • I figured it out! I'm public now :blushing:
