  • I am at 10 days this morning! It's really motivating to have this group to keep accountable to. Thanks to all!
  • Hi All, I started with MFP a year ago Monday - and lost almost 50 pounds in the first 6 months of religious logging on MFP. Lost my posting streak at around 210 days, and then went lax... Surprise, surprise - have plateaued ever since, and even gained back about 7 pounds! I am soooo with you on this challenge! Cheers,…
  • I'll jump on this train - I've stalled for the last 6 weeks at 50 lbs down and need a boost to remind me of how far I have come.
  • I am also in the "I have a glass or two of wine almost every day (more on weekends) and am still losing" camp. You'll be just fine - enjoy :wink:
  • Ursula the Sea Witch!
  • Purchased a pair of size 22 jeans that fit nicely - and put the old size 26's into the donation pile!
  • Trooper - Raise A Little Hell If you don't like What you got Why don't you change it If your world is all screwed up Rearrange it Raise a little Hell ... If you don't like what you see Why don't you fight it If you know there's something wrong Why don't you right it Raise a little Hell ... In the end it comes down to your…
  • When I was in Venice last year I was at my heaviest - a size 26 - and had no problem whatsoever with getting in/out of the gondola or any stability issues with the boat while I was riding in it. Venice is so lovely; you are in for a treat. There is absolutely nothing to worry about, so just relax and enjoy!
  • I'm using a charm bracelet - down 10 lbs means adding another charm (lots to be had for under $20). I use a pic of the next charm I am working towards as the lock screen on my cell phone, so every time I use it I see what I am working towards. Also, since the charm bracelet is on my right hand, whenever I reach for…
  • Have you tried changing to a different mask? A nasal pillow type mask (if you are comfortable with it - I know from experience that finding the right mask is a very personal thing) might help as it would have less points of contact on the skin to irritate. I use a NasalAire II and have found it to be the least intrusive…
  • Glad someone mentioned Gypsy! It is my all time #1
  • My Mini is dark blue, with a Union Jack flag on the white topper. His name is "Nigel"... as in Nigel "my spy car is a Mini" Powers. Groovy, baby!!!
  • Ok - since we're doing pics.... I had posted these already in another Cosplay thread, but here were my three looks for Calgary Expo this year: BTW mruntidy your prop-making skills are amazing!
  • One of my main motivators is getting my body to a point where I would be more comfortable Cosplaying a wider range of characters. Not that my current weight stops me - I've done Carmen Sandiego, Princess Fiona, Agent Scully, Medusa, Lady Stoneheart, The Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam, Diva Plavalaguna and more.…
  • Mix it with Montreal Steak Spice and dill (or whatever spices you choose) and you will have a very yummy dip for your veggies
  • Thanks so much - next up is Vanellope von Schweetz from "Wreck it Ralph"
  • Me, too! While I am a strong advocate of the Cosplay if for Everyone philosophy, and most of my costumes so far I have worn at my heaviest, I do think I will be more comfortable portraying a wider variety of characters as my body shrinks. I complete every year at Norwescon with a costuming group, and it would be great to…
  • I Cosplay with a group of friends for various events, and we compete once a year at Norwescon in Seattle. Having more options for which characters I would be confident in dressing up as is one of my motivators on this journey. Here are the three characters I did for this year's Calgary Expo (hope this works, first attempt…
