What a way to start the day!! Congrats :D .. I'm looking forward to seeing the 160's, 3.3 lbs to go :D

I have this issue too... and in short yes, being constipated and not going for a week or more can cause you to "retain" and you may not see any weight loss on the scale, once you've had a BM you should see the number change a bit.... I eat alfalfa sprouts, prunes, ample fruits/veggies and drinks tons of water (10 cups plus…

Bacon....

Congrats! hugely motivating.. I started at 221 as well currently 178, aiming for 130 as well :) Hope I can do it too! thanks for sharing you look fantastic!

Amazing job! You are an inspiration for everyone! Way to rock those bikinis!

when you reach up and can only touch something with the tip of your finger and no matter how hard you reach it just pushes it further back LOL... I use spoons and tongs to reach things from the top shelves and in the cupboards.

I like coffee, I wouldn't want to cut it out... that would make me sad! If you're not drinking excess amounts of it and have no medical reason why you should avoid it then by all means have a cup!

Like others have said, take it one day at a time. Dont' be discouraged if you don't meet your dates for weightloss... dates or times (in X amount of days I want to be X amount of weight)don't always pan out how you think they should.... you can only control the here and now... so do your very best every single day and…

I have personally drank Javita.... it tastes AWFUL!! and gave me the wicked diahrrea (tmi sorry lol)....plus expensive, not worth it

hahaha this is so funny because as I sit here in Northern ontario Canada with the 3 feet of snow on the ground and -30 C and below temperatures I'm looking at hot destinations to GTFO ... Northern BC canada like Jasper or Banff are nice!! Have you gone skiing before? do you want to cross country or downhill ski? it's…

My dad passed away when I was 10, didnt' deal with very well turning to food. When I was about 13 I overheard my mom talking to her friend about how large I had got and how fat my face got (I was maybe 130-140 lbs) 5'4... she even did hand gestures to excentuate my face size.... almost 15 years ago and it still hurts...…

Feel free to add me! I log every day, over 90 days straight now...I don't always post on every status update but I'll do my best to stay in the loop with what you've got going on :)

Amazing! great job!! :)

I took the time to really weight and portion out my food. I thought I was eating good realistically I had no clue what an actual portion size was! I played with my daily meals with foods I loved and tried to incorportate new foods that all fit into my calories for the day. I learned quickly that i'll be GD-hungry if I ate…

To not eat all the baked goods sitting in the kitchen...

H1N1(Swine flu) and the influenza vaccination aren't the same thing.. Unless they've made a hybrid vaccine that combines them all I am unaware of. Besides, Good bout of swine flu will make sure you don't get the swine flu again- that's what our immune systems are designed to do, build antibodies against the viruses.... in…

It's brutal! I baked my *kitten* off all weekend and left it at my boyfriend's because I'd totally eat it all! LOL I am headed to California feb 1st and don't want to undo all my hard work lol

But you'll shoot your eye out! I want a fitbit scale!

Well said!

OP- It sucks when you have to put up with things at work you aren't supposed to. I can understand how it would be annoying, especially if you don't like kids to start with! I work on an industrial Mine site and kids aren't allowed on the property... cyanide, arsenic and PAX don't mix with little grub hooks lol I don't hate…

I'm passionate about this topic... oh and apparently a troll...

Well folks, I know you'll be sad to hear I must go... I know, I know I wish I could stay longer too! :)

Thanks for the link

I have a dark and twisty sense of humor ...plus in the beginning the people were trying to argue how dogs were better than kids... it was the only baby becoming a dog joke I could think of

Proud moment!

Yes and no. Initially when this thread started it was titled "Why are dogs so needy?"...me personally not liking them posted I hated them... They all ganged up started insulting me and calling me names... I tell them why I hate dogs (my daughter was killed by one in March 2006) and they told me it's a fake story and I'm a…

I was productive! :)

No tuesday doesn't work, how about thursday? ;)

sweet baby jesus... You're pretty :)

I do love a good book by the fire... I'm in!
