I'm not going to give you a success story, because I just had a setback, myself.... but really.... if you've worked THIS hard... to get SO FREAKING CLOSE to your 100lb loss... you can keep going! We ALL have bad days..... today was yours. Brush yourself off, girl.... and keep your eye on the goal... and start over again…

My husband's physician told him that the flu shot is the same as last year.... meaning it's the same strand, so if you got one last year, you should still be good this year. Plus, we never get the shot, anyways. We get sicker than if we get the actual flu.

AWESOME!!! I saw a similar recipe on the Betty Crocker site, and one of my new favorite hobbies is getting recipes and lightening them up, and comparing their differences. You did a great job lightening this up!!! Thank you!!!

Sounds amazing! I think this is going on the grocery list for dinner this Saturday!!! :) Thanks for sharing!

Last week, I did almost a pot of coffee here at work by myself. Got the rumbly in the tumbly, and went jogging for the potty.... nothing. Absolutely nothing. I'm not feeling stopped up, but I'm feeling like the low, TOM crampy style of annoyance. But I'm not ready for my cramps for my TOM, so I know it's not that. I feel…

Thank you! I'm going to start going for the 25g's daily. Going to get some fiber one cereal bars as a snack!

Sorry.... it's public now.

Forgot to add: if you find a student in photography who wants to start or update a portfolio, or even a friend or relative with great photography experience, that's a major moneysaver right there. We also printed our homemade custom invites that we got from Walmart and decorated them with a bow that matched the bridesmaids…

I'm going to the bathroom for #1 up to 10 times a day, though. Could I be losing water in that way, causing what little bowel movements I get to be almost non-existent?

I searched the photography schools in my area and was going to get a student photographer, but I also put an ad on craigslist, and my photographer was free. I also found my videographer for $250. I went to a local flower place 2 days before my wedding, and I did my bouquets, and the groomsmens boutineers, and with my and a…

Mature. :grumble: It's a serious question, and I'm interested in what people have to say with maybe a previous experience. Please, no kidding around because if this is something I need to see a dr for, I'd like to have support. Not smart-*kitten* responses.

If you look at my fiber intake, it's normally pretty close to being the recommended suggestion for my diet.

I'm in a slump, myself. I finally broke down and bought a scale for my house, and it's almost 10lbs off of the scale that I normally weigh myself on here at work, and NOT for the better. So, I've changed my weight on here to reflect the scale that I'll be using at home, and it's just a big depressing change. It feels like…

Congrats on the ink!!!!!!! Love it! And you certainly deserve it!!!!! :) I'm addicted with my 8... and i want more! Because of the position, with the clothing rubbing it, and also, all of my "all black" tats look like they scabbed and flaked a little earlier than normal. It's also possible to squeeze a bit of ink out too,…

Ugh.... I have neighbors that first off..... I live in the country.... and they purposely moved the original plan of where their house was GOING to be to as close as f'ing possible to mine. So, their house is less than 100 yards from my garage. Second, they have a Dennis the Menace type of son that they show absolutely 0…

Agreed!!!! Some turkey meatloaf with a homemade bbq sauce over it is great the first night, but even better the 2nd day as a sandwich!!! :)

I had lap band done in June of 09. I went from 228 to 214 in the week before surgery for the pre-op diet of the Medifast, but I was also sick from drinking so much water, since the Medifast is so high in sodium. I got "all the way down" to 200lbs and found out that I have a massive leak in my lap band, so in reality, it…

Love the idea!!!!! That's awesome!!!! Thanks for sharing!

I normally take leftovers from whatever I've made from the skinnytaste.com site :) LOL I limit myself to maybe 4 or 5 Michelina's Lean Gourmet meals a month, due to sodium, or a nice batch of "tuna salad", with 1 or 2 cans of tuna (50cals each), 4 tbsp lite Miracle Whip (20 cals/tbsp), chopped onion, s&p, and I get two…

I work with two of my friends, and I met one person from here. It was a bag of mixed feelings.... I found out how bad a person with severe OCD can be, and someone who doesn't seem to care enough about their family to spend time with them, so he would eat obsessively through the day (up to about 4000 calories, on average),…

Another item to use that's just AMAZING for a "crust" is an Indian Naan. I get mine in the frozen section of Jungle Jim's in Cincinnati (Garlic flavor, of course) and it makes a HUGE meal, especially if you add a salad with it!

I love these things!!Thanks!!

I've been really digging my new Carmex. It's in a skinny, dark silver tube, and it lasts for a LONG time.

How about "Awww, arent you cute? F off." That's been my mental thoughts lately.... especially here at work.

It's possible! For example, if your lips are chapped, and you keep licking them, (adding what you think would be moisture), it only dries it out more. You need a different kind of moisture that only lip balms contain. Sounds like some good ol' Chapstick is in your future! :)

I just had a co-worker tell me tonight that he brought a huge bag of Halloween candy in, and even though he knows I'm dieting, if I feel like falling off the wagon, the candy's there. Well, f you very much. Now, I'm even more determined to stay away from his desk. And GOOD FOR THAT CUSTOMER!!!! ugh. that irritates me!!!…

We all don't feel right commenting on what others are eating.... ..well... at least those of us with consciences don't. My friend and I here at work have started this weight loss journey together.... and at least once a week, one of us will make extra of whatever we've made for lunch and bring it in for the other to try.…

That happened to me at IKEA once, before I started losing weight. I'm 5'3" and I weighed 228, and to top it off, I carried my weight like a pregnant woman. Of course the lines are mile long at the check out, and some older lady... maybe around 65 or so, told me and my husband to go ahead of her, so "his pregnant wife can…

If your friend has asked for your help, why don't you? She obviously wants the help and motivation.

When I commented on the post you were talking about, it was because of a so-called friend, who maybe weighs 140lbs... probably more like 130.... and she's never dieted in her life, but proceeded to criticize ME.... her FRIEND... for wanting to have a "cheat" meal. In reality... it's not kosher for someone who's never had a…
