Cornwall, On. Lost 32, still have 35 to lose.

I drink water and when that does not work, I chew gum. I never used to chew gum but I have found a few flavors that really give me the illusion that I am having something sweet. I only chew it for as long as I get the yummy taste then get rid of it. (I never was a big fan of gum chewing in public, it just looks too…

I was at a factory outlet in Orlando this January and went to my favorite stores as I do every year. This year was different, I did not even fit in a size 18 (I had been creeping up gradually to eventually end up in a 16). But, to not fit in an 18 was devastating, I had to start going into stores that specialized in plus…

You look like a lovely brunette, my guess is you would make that pink dress look stunning. Pink pink pink.

I give conferences and teach a method of reading body language.

Chocolates......I just can't trust myself around chocolate. I always say: I'll take just one or two squares but end up eating the whole bar in one sitting.

Lobster: steamed, broiled, barbcued, thermidor, boiled.............any which way you care to serve it except raw...

When I was younger (in age) I decided I would never "grow up". It's worked for me so far: I've had 2 fulfilling careers and once I retired, I decided to try for another one. So that makes 3 so far and I'm still having a blast. If something does not work for you, don't be afraid to switch it up. You never know what's around…

Watercolorist here, I studied Art in Ireland and in Canada.. Put it aside while I was raising my daughter but came back to it in my retirement. I did volunteer work teaching watercolor for 5 years in a little country school (in the middle of a cornfield, if you can imagine that) near where I live and loved it. Now they…

Don't feel so bad about not needing this much water, I know I'm going to get a lot of "flack" for this but you should read this article: http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=eight-glasses-water-per-day Not everybody needs the same amount.

I have been told by a dietetician that sugar is sugar, your body does not know the difference and processes it just about the same way (some sugars a little faster and some a little slower) but in the end, it's all the same. Now I don't know if this is true but I know that for me, in my eating habits, I have switched back…

Don't worry about it, same thing happened to me last year when I lost weight. When I asked my daughter, my sisters in law and my cousins at a family function they said that they noticed but were afraid if they mentionned it, that it would mean they thought of me as fat before. They just did not want to hurt my feelings by…

Legs and thighs so far.

6 for me 1078 so far for MFP

Ask her, with the sweetest smile, if she does not have children of her own to mother. After all, you are an adult and do not need any mothering and advice on what you eat because you're doing just fine.

Since I work out at home, I wear yoga pants and an old bathing suit that is too old to wear in public. Nobody sees me so it does not matter, what matters is: its just so comfortable.

I've used the recipe section and it seems to work beautifully.

Unfortunately daily, and it's driving me nuts with the ups and ups and not too may downs. I officially check in my weight on Mondays.

Takeaway is what we call in America "Take out" food.

I freaked out when I reached over 210.....I had deliberatly NOT looked at a scales in months as I suspected (nah....I KNEW) I had gained a lot.

Actually, my dreams are made of cheese too...

When I was little I used to sing Rudolp the red nosed reindeer: "............then one froggy Chrismas Eve" and always wondered what frogs had to do with it. (was raised speaking French and only knew a little bit of English, just enough to sing songs) I also sang: "I'm bringing home a white Christmas".

I'm a 5'7, 63 year old and my starting weight was 211. I've only been on for approx. 2 and 1/2 weeks and have lost 6 pounds. I have a long way to go as my goal is to be in the 140/155 range (Less would be good but I'm trying to be realistic here). Nice to know there are so many people with similar goals. Good luck to all…

Thank you, sometimes I makes no sense to me but I'm learning.

Dear English speaking MFP friends, Please enlighten me on this, my native tongue is French and I find that after all these years, I am still learning the language of Shakespeare. I find myself puzzled when I read that people are "shredding fat"....or when I read "fat shred". I thought shredding something was tearing it in…
