I want to get one on my upper arm, something I can hide easily with sleeves. I love the outdoors, so I'd like to get a branch that looks like it's twisting around my arm.

Ugh, I hear the family drama. My family had something similar go down with my brother about two years ago and it was not fun. I'm so sorry you have to go through it. Feel free to PM me if you want to talk about it. I actually am also a nighttime teeth grinder. My dentist originally made me a bite plate but those cost about…

Hi all! I just found this thread and I'm glad I did. Alcohol is the source of most of my empty calories. Not that I want to stop -- a girl's gotta have her red wine -- but I do want to cut back so I can save money and carve out a kickin' body. My biggest issue is that since I've gone back to school full time, even when I'm…

I'm not losing for my wedding, but I'll be in the bridal party! My best friend is getting married in September and I want to be a cute bridesmaid rather than a chunky one. One of my motivators is my engaged friend; in preparation for the wedding she has lost about 30 lbs and kept it off. I'm cheering from the sidelines for…

Good luck to you! I am also a former athlete gone soft, and I know I'm definitely motivated to reclaim my body.

Nina74, thanks so much for your how to! It was spot on and helped me make my avatar. The only thing that I encountered that wasn't in your message was resizing the image so that it wasn't cut on in my avatar. I tried the resize tool in paint, but it only made the imagine smaller but my head was still cut off when I…

I quit about a year-and-a-half ago, so I'm with you in spirit although not in truth. You can do it! As an aside, I went to visit a friend and her fiance last night -- both smokers -- and I was amazed by how smokey my hair and clothing were just from being inside their apartment for a few hours. Making a good first…

Agreed! I came here from another weight loss/fitness forum specifically for the level of support that I saw here on MFP. I am happy to be a small part of that total experience!

Wow... Sometimes I am just amazed at the lengths people will go to in order to hurt one another. I have to give you plenty of props for disregarding his obviously bitter digs and making a better life for yourself!

Ovo/lacto veg for almost 7 years. Nice to see so many veggies!

Those are really compelling pictures! Honestly, I never really have thought much about my own sodium intake. I can't wait to see the results of watching it too (although maybe after I finish my case of Campbell's Tomato Soup).

Thanks so much for posting this. I used to be a believer in the starvation mode as propagated through diet and fitness media, but as someone with a science background I wanted to know why it worked. I tracked down the study that I believe started people talking about starvation mode and read it. (Yes, I read scientific…

Ooh, I like this thread! I have a Valentine's Day related vent. So my mom and I typically exchange V-Day presents but since I knew she was on a diet, I didn't get her any chocolates, just something practical and then some new reading material. She knows that I'm not happy with my appearance and I'm on a lifestyle change,…
