I feel your pain. I'm facing divorce. Using the lowest point of my life to get back on track for bettering myself for me and only me. I figure if I get on it now, I will be a lot less likely to be derailed in the future.

I know how awesome and brave my wife is for putting up with me all these years. You must be rather awesome too to walk in those same shoes! Hang in there. Meds can make your husband a whole new person just like mine did for me. It takes time to find the right combo, but it is worth it.

Hang in there WT. It can and will get better. I have 2 boys on the autism spectrum as well, one is high functioning and the other has Aspergers so I know the stress that can add as well. Sometimes you have to drop everything else in order to get yourself well. Only then can you begin to help others. Just remember, no…

I drink coffee all day at work. I take it black like my soul.

I eat instant boil in bag brown rice every day for lunch with a low sodium can of whatever on top. 2 servings per bag and they take about 10 minutes to boil in the microwave.

Soak a towel, wad it up and stick it in the freezer. Next time you feel that way, take it out and pull it straight.

Live as long as possible for my wife and kids. Teach my kids healthy eating habits and exercising as well. My selfish reason: To have as many motorcycling years as possible.

Ordered a Polar FT60 on Amazon for $125 today for my bday. Chest straps are mandatory for accurate readings. I don't see how you could keep an eye on one without a wrist piece though.

Gatecrasher: Red and Wet

I'm not in your area, sorry. But you can feel free to msg me any time you'd like!

Hope I'm not being creepy here but... Please understand that when a man (in general) gets to see naked breasts, it is such a great thing that we appreciate ALL of them. Sure, everyone likes to dress up and feel sexy when doing such. But when it comes time for more intimate conditions, we are generally not picky and quite…

Agreed. But I do go to WF for things like TVP and Tempeh. My local chains no longer carry TVP and their prices are actually lower for Tempeh than my local chains. Even better, I love shopping at my local Asian supermarkets. There I can get Tofu, Tempeh and "Magic Noodles" (0 calorie noodles made from tofu and yam flour).

Textured Vegetable Protein It's great for any sauces that call for ground beef. I like to add it to my stewed tomatoes and brown rice. I usually put it on top of cooked rice then add some balsamic vinegar and then the can of tomatoes and nuke.

Congrats and a high 5. I'm right there with you.

I'm no longer obese, just overweight.

I found some salad dressing the produce section that was very low cal and made with yogurt. They had blue cheese, ranch and caesar flavors. You could spice up your own greek yogurt for the same effect.

Fan-freaking-tastic! I love hearing about medical miracles like yours. Good job and keep up the awesome work!

I'm there with you. I went to a Chinese buffet on Monday to celebrate dropping 40 pounds... I now have 2 back. But, it's all good cause I learned a lesson, a few actually: 1) I really don't like that kind of food anymore. 2) It makes me feel awful after I eat it. 3) It's not worth the weight gain. I can believe I used to…

It's MLM (multilevel marketing) which is basically a legal pyramid.

There is a county in Alabama whose policy is to teach abstinence only. Their teen STD and pregnancy rates are off the chart. Your son is lucky because he has you. What about the children who are not so lucky to have parents that are so involved? Those are the ones that need these programs the most. They are also the ones…

Wow, I so hate MLMs

It's not me that I care about as much as my children. We choose not to have a television to keep that garbage away from them but it's everywhere now. As a parent it pisses me off that the decision to keep this away from them is being taken away from me.

I think it is being shoved down our throats. I don't even have a TV yet I still know about these shows.

Food poisoning is the worst. It sure will take off the pounds though!

Many healing wishes for you! One step at a time, and you will get there. Stick around and enjoy all the support you can stand!

Thanks! Top one is a 91 Honda CB750 Nighthawk. She was totaled last fall though when I was hit by a car, I walked. The bottom is an 07 Suzuki Bandit 1250. I've since picked up another Nighthawk as well, but she's in rough shape.

That's a great idea, thanks!

I'm going to get new motorcycle gear. Maybe even a 1 piece leather track suit.

Thanks y'all! Oh, as an added bonus, I'm getting better gas mileage now too.
