Traveling to visit in-laws. I was worried we would be driving through the remnants of Isaac, but from the looks of things there is no worry. The hubby took Tuesday off as well, so we have a 4 day.

My birthday is Dec 13. The big 4-0. I already have as my goal to lose 20 pounds by then, this challenge will help keep me going when I feel like stopping. AND help get past that dreaded 4th Thursday in November. I can't wait!

I am pretty certain I CANNOT do this...and for that reason, I am in. I need something to look to or I won't move.

I know Nathan Fillion has a show already (I love CASTLE!!) and I think Jewel Stait and Sean Maher as well. Summer Glau is almost a big name now, she might be more difficult, but you never can tell. Same with Alan Tudyk. I have no idea what Eliza Dushku is doing currently. I would love to see Miracle Laurie, Olivia…

I get giggly just thinking about getting to see new episodes finally. tee hee!

Fabulous! Enjoy your pretty toes, and the satisfaction of your accomplishment.

My eating habits are (excuse me, were) so bad that I cannot let the sugar in fruit bother me. If I don't eat fruit, I will eat chocolate, or cake, etc. The sugar in fruit is a much better choice.

If you are still breathing and you keep trying, you CAN do it.

Pitfall!!! I loved that game!

I use bags. I bought regular and +pomegranate. The regular is fine, but I feel ill drinking the pomegranate stuff. And I LOVE pomegranates.

You don't even look like the same person. Fabulous job! Thank you for the inspiration.

I have been participating in the community side of the site for about 3 weeks now (just used the calculators and log before) and I have found it to be quite friendly, and a big encouragement. Welcome!

A very similar thing happened to me (minus the sports) We've been married for 15 years and still looking forward to 50 more. Take things smart. You deserve to be happy.

Good advice, Saltatoria

How wonderful! You re definitely an inspiration to those of us who are starting out.

I may not have gotten the "eat anything and stay thin" genes, but I got good cholesterol genes. (Always freaks new doctors out when they see 375 lb me and check the levels to find what they usually only see in vegetarians) And, since I have trouble getting enough calories and protein, I am going to go ahead and keep eating…

Fabulous! I can just imagine your son's hair blowing in the breeze as that stroller went so fast. Congratulations!

Looking good! Keep it up!

I assume you mean WITHOUT pictures of Disney Princesses or Sponge Bob?

Welcome! My advice, find stuff you love to eat that isn't going to hurt your health. Then you won't feel deprived, OR guilty.

Let's see, recent movies...The Hunger Games, at the reaping when Katniss volunteers for Prim. Less recently, ... Star Trek 2. Even knowing Spock will be ok, it still gets me. Also, My Girl The last 1/4 of that movie is one blow after another, as soon as my eyes dry, something else sets it off.

My doctor did recommend avoiding night carbs. Generally, I am trying to cut back on carbs altogether, so it helps keep it in my mind.

My personal goal is 20 lbs by my birthday on Dec 13. Add almost two weeks to that...I might be able to do 25 by Christmas. IF I can stay away from the pumpkin pie and gingerbread!!!

Beans Beans Beans ! Anybody got a good Cincinnati Chili recipe?

8 pages and no other 12/13 babies. I have met a lot in real life, but I guess few end up on MFP. :(

I was born in 1972. I do remember the 1980s fondly in a cloud of Smurfs, Transformers, Monchichis, and My Little Ponies..leading later into Madonna, Culture Club, and Wham! Big hair in middle school and parachute pants paired with a blouse with shoulder pads so big I looked like a line-backer. For birthday twin hunting...I…

I missed this thread earlier in the week, so don't really have a daily breakdown. However, we did go out last night and I ordered steamed veggies with my steak instead of fries. And they were DELICIOUS! I was very pleasantly surprised. I even ate squash! I never eat squash!

It is very possible he feels threatened, either by feelings of inadequacy for not trying to get healthier himself, or fears that if you lose weight things will be different. I have heard of similar things happening sometimes with alcoholics, family not wanting them to get better because the family dynamic has settled as it…

I don't think it is vanity to want to be able to shop at a regular store rather than ordering size 5x clothes online. I would LOVE to be NORMAL, skinny isn't even on my radar. Also, I would love to no longer have high blood pressure, asthma trouble, and intense knee pain. I'd like for my heart and kidneys to continue…

Like many others who have posted, I have been exactly where you are. I still am in some ways. Last month I visited the city I had lived in 30 years ago, but didn't go see any of my childhood friends. I could not bear the thought of seeing someone who had not seen me since I was a child. Some college friends have invited me…
