I live in northwest Florida.

QUOTE: I think we should start licensing pregnancy, so only the people who can afford children and who are physically fit can reproduce. And you shouldn't have pets if you can't afford them either. I see homeless people in my town that have "will work for food" signs AND a dog on a leash. I always wonder "why did you think…

Congrats! you'll smile every time you think about it. I check my own B/P at home and the cuff used to sometimes pop off my arm when inflating. This week I realized it doesn't do that anymore. It is funny I don't really know when it changed but it makes me happy. (especially since the scale isn't moving right now)

At potlucks I offer to bring a veggie tray or something else I can easily eat. Food is fuel, but eating is also social. People really don't care if you eat or not they want to include you in the group, which is kind of nice.

PEANUT BUTTER. I can use moderation with everything else but that jar calls to me from the pantry until it is gone.

People say all kinds of stupid stuff but you don't have to get into the conversation. I talk to very few people about my fitness and nutrition goals and if they make comments I just smile and move on. What you are doing is really none of their business and you shouldn't feel compelled to divulge information.

congratulations! That is great! Since I've been exercising my calves have really shaped up. I go around the house showing them to my family and looking back at them every once in awhile. It's beginning to produce a lot of eye rolling from the family. lol

This past (long)weekend we had company that stayed at our house that we hadn't seen in almost 5 years. I decided to not count calories at all. So after a couple of restaurant meals, late night snacking, some fried food, desserts, and some soda spread across 3 days- I am 1/2 pound lighter than last week. I happily realized…

You're doing great. He still loves you. Men and women are different. I wouldn't talk to him about it. Smooch instead.

Thanks to all that chimed in. I feel better knowing others experience this too. Like I said I am losing. It just isn't totally "linear". I fight hard to keep my salt low as I have high blood pressure(even when I was young and skinny) and I am on a diuretic. I believe this may be a "natural pattern" but I'm getting ready to…

I eat a turkey sandwich for breakfast almost every morning. the lean protein is good and I use an Arnold sandwich thin (which has a good amount of fiber).

Started SECOND LEVEL of 30 Day Shred... and I LOVE it!

WOW! Just WOW!

I can wear exercise shorts that I haven't worn for say...10 years! WooHoo!

Congratulations on your weight loss! Your hard work is paying off! You've improved your health, your looks,and discovered lots of cool stuff about yourself along the way. About your family- I totally understand. You must be my long lost sister. I always wanted a sweet supportive mother like I read about in books, saw on…

How can you tell your intestines are inflamed and swollen?

I'm a Trauma Center RN and we used to joke we should be anorexic,but it just didn't work that way. I would often lose 3lbs a shift but it would come right back on my days off. (I work in a slower smaller hospital now.) It just didn't seem to work for me like regular exercise or work outs. I also ate terribly at that time…

Level 1 is on Youtube and convinced me to buy the DVD!

While doing my 30 day shred vid yesterday I kept telling myself "get ready for the hard part". Guess What! The hard part NEVER came. WooHoo!

Salt!

oops sorry I assumed you were diagnosed as a juvenile.

the above and your pancreas could be working less efficiently. Especially since you are type 1 DM.

Kept checking the thermostat because I thought "surely the furnace isn't working". It still says 70 but i'm cold and I realized I'm losing my insulation!

There's a site called "woman within" that has several different styles. Lands End was mentioned and I believe Sears carries that brand in the store now so if you wanted to try on to check the fit. I didn't catch where you said you were going but I live in Florida and at the beach here folks wear all kinds of things. you…

You look great. It was a good year wasn't it ?:D

My NSV's: I can easily fold my arms across my chest. My wedding rings! I can wear them again! My stomach doesn't rub against my steering wheel. I can wear lots of clothes that were just stuffed in my closet...waiting for me. I have hope, I had given up that I could lose weight. Thanks MFP.

WOW! You look great!

Spectacular! You have done a wonderful job. I so get the Mom thing. My pounds just kind of crept up while I was watching after everyone else. Congratulations!
