The Pretender My Name is Earl Raising Hope

I have the HiPoint 9MM and love it much more than my other guns. Heavy but nice to shoot.

Thank you for this post. It speaks so many truths that I took far too long in life to learn.

AWESOME! Thank you for sharing :) That gives me hope for my bat wings!

That eating 1200 calories and exercising like a mad woman can equate to absolutely no loss. That taking Dr. Oz's supplement of the day isn't going fix me. That the relentless cycle of crushing defeat could have been avoided and thousands of dollars on potions, pills, shakes, and injections would still be mine if I just…

I gave them away when I went down two sizes. I only kept things that fit. My husband encouraged me because this time is clearly different I am not on some crash diet. My weight loss hasn't been quick and my changes are permanent. This has been a change for our entire family not just something I am attempting by myself.…

My ticker says -28 pounds but it is really slightly over 30 lost in 5 months. I have lost weight very quickly in the past and never kept it off this time I am going for slow and maintainable.

I had an ablation in 2008 in the hospital. It was an easy experience and I have had many many procedures down there over the years. No real period since just a day with tiny weeny bit of spotting. Best thing I EVER did for myself. Edited to add: after I had a bit of cramping for a couple of days but nothing compared to a…

Inspired!

I would just say "we don't do sleepovers but would be happy to meet you at the playground, bowling alley, or wherever" - Get to know them well before giving them control of your child for any length of time.

AMAZING!!

I was eating 1200 for a few months and working out 6 days a week burning 300-400 per session and NOT loosing. I now follow TDEE - 20% which is around 1610 calories and am loosing consistently. I am 5'4" and in my 40's. I recalculate as I loose using this calculator : http://iifym.com/iifym-calculator/ IT was scary to eat…

I tried several Waldon products a couple years ago. ALL were horrific and I am not one to waste food and will try things to improve the flavor before tossing. There was no improving these products. Aside from that I now realize they are just plain awful for your body.

Worst thing said to me ~ I was referred to a surgeon several years ago for evaluation of my abdomen. I was having pain and my doctor was trying to rule out adhesions or a hernia. The surgeon started feeling my stomach and said in a really loud sarcastic voice "It is really hard to feel anything through ALL THAT". He said…

Thanks! Didn't want to buy it multiple times :)

Quick question? Can multiple users use this app on a single device? Can it be set up so that my husband can use the phone with this app for his run and I use it later for mine or do we need to buy it for separate devices?

That I was told in high school by the guidance counselor I was not college material and to consider beauty school. I rode a skateboard and had "that look".... I now have a collection of degrees- PhD, Masters, Bachelors, and Associate degrees :) I have a CHL, tattoo, and grown together toes. I have been married to my best…

Another person chiming in for compression sleeves or socks. I purchased cheap Dr. Scholl's compression socks and some Medi-Ped compression socks at Kmart. They made a world of difference for me. I recently ran outside after strictly running on the treadmill and had shin splints for the first time in months. I doubled up…

This! I have tried everything but the answers are in the above links.

meat, protein shakes, protein bars, foods made with protein powder/eggs (pancakes/waffles, homemade protein bars, breads), cottage cheese, greek yogurt with hemp seeds, eggs, nuts.

In for replies as this has been happening to me as well.

This thread was the single most important thing I have read on here. My weight loss was near zero while eating 1200 and running a 5K - 5 times a week- and doing body weight exercises. I now eat around 1600 and am loosing regularly:…

I had them until I got new shoes - nothing special (New Balance running shoes) but they made a difference. I also now wear compression socks every time I run. Again nothing special just cheap Dr. Scholl's compression socks from Walmart. Haven't had a problem since making these changes. I started running for the first time…

I get a gallon back from a gallon of milk. It only condenses if you drain the whey. There will be whey on the top of the container each day. I just drain this and use it in smoothies or for lacto-fermented foods, soaked grains, baking. It condenses significantly if you drain in a coffee filter or a yogurt cheese strainer (…

I make this weekly and have for years. For a gallon of milk-I also add about a cup of stevia (the stuff that comes big bags that measure cup for cup like sugar). To get custard style I add a heaping TBSP of unflavored gelatin, vanilla powder or liquid, and a half a cup of powdered milk while the milk is heating. The…

It is really easy to make your own. I use stevia to sweetened it. If you have a crockpot that is the simplest way. I make it by the gallon :)

Started running with C25K in November at 43 after having never run in my life. I now run 3 times a week for about 3.5 miles. I never ever believe I could run but envied people who did. I am presently working on increasing my speed.

I set a mental rule in my head that I will not eat after a certain hour. For me it is 6pm. This just works. I also put my first meal later in the day like 10 am. I tend to eat the majority of my calories between 3-5 and have a snack right around 6pm. After that I allow myself hot beverages that taste like a treat like…

This post is now in my "motivation file" of bookmarks! Thank You!

I posted a recipe yesterday for high protein waffles. Just cook them as pancakes instead.
