37 - I almost said 36, though. Oops...forget my age. :) Wait...maybe I cam 36...that is what my profile says. *confused* heh

I try to drink lemon or lime water every day - usually in the morning. When I don't drink it, I tend to get heartburn/acid reflux. It is supposed to make your body more alkaline and aids in liver fuctioning. It has been noted to help digestion, skin problems such as acne, prevent/fight cancer among a host of other thing.…

I find by eating a small breakfast, I actual eat less for lunch and throughout the day because I'm not starving when lunch time hits. For breakfast, I usually eat greek yogurt, fruit, nuts, or hard boiled eggs. Sometimes, I will have a shake or smoothie. Rarely, a replacement meal bar. If I'm running late, I'll grab a…

LOL! I was getting ready to type the same thing. Only I was going to say, onions and ketchup on rice. :)

Sometimes our parents teach us the most valuable lessons in the most unexpected ways. I'm happy you learned from their misfortunes; but I'm so sorry they were not able to make the changes you have.

Congrats! :)

It is amazing what you have accomplished! Keep with it - it's obviously working! :flowerforyou:

You look awesome! And you are SOOOO cute! Keep up the good work and you will meet you GW in no time! :flowerforyou:

WOW! You look like a different person! :) great work!

It is really hard to say. There could also be a difference in the calibration of the two scales. I know when I've weighed myself on different scales, I got different readings. I've also seen a 7 lbs difference between clothed and sans clothes on the same scale. Also, if you weighed yourself during different times of day…

Exactly!

There is debate whether sunscreen actually CAUSES skin cancer or prevents it. We slather chemicals all over our porous skin because we think we are doing the right thing never thinking of the damage these chemicals have on us. My whole life I've been told to wear sunscreen daily even in the winter or on overcast days. It…

I actually originally had mine set lower then I discovered http://www.mybodygallery.com/ and increased my goal weight by 30 lbs. I think in my head 130 lbs seemed to be ideal, but when I looked at pictures for my body type and height, 160 lbs seemed to be more of what I want to be.

I never had a problem dating, but I also never had a self esteem issue despite my larger size and most of the guys I've dated have been extremely fit. I've dated a lifeguard, a former hockey player who was into body building, a prison guard who was also into body building, another guy into body building, and a guy in the…

Yep - I gained 3 lbs this last time. It's frustrating, but you have to realize that it comes off quickly after your TOM is done. Like everyone else said - drinks lots of water! :)

I sure hope he is out of your life for good! NO ONE deserves that kind of emotional abuse! Add request on the way.

No way! Your new self looks like your former self's daughter! Very good job!

I thought this started today ... but you are counting from yesterday.... ? Or does yesterday count. I'm confused! :indifferent:

Yes...water retention is the worst!

I know what you mean. I usually only friend ppl who are actively seeking friends for motivation. Then, they drop off the face of MFP. :grumble:

The research I've done on low carb dieting would indicate low carb eating is primarily good for sedentary lifestyles. If you are a runner, you should eat carbs before your work outs.

WOW! The changes in your face are amazing! I had to double take because you don't even look like the same person. :flowerforyou:

How old are your running shoes? Maybe you need a new pair - they may be too big. Some times when we lose weight, our feet shrink as well. I may be way out there...but it's just a thought.
