haha, good to know I'm in the majority!

I enjoyed bringing a compact blender with on the road. I'd stop at the grocery store and get some fruits, veggies, some of the healthier TV dinners (Lean Cuisine, mostly) and some veggie steamers. Also, I brought protein shakes with me. That way if I had two of those as meal replacements, I could actually go out and enjoy…

Venison!!!! :) And of course, onions... lots of them :)

Cute :)

Absolutely. My "diet" is already modified for a calorie reduction in order to lose weight. I see an extra snack as the reward. I'm already building muscle mass (by exercising) and reducing caloric intake for weight loss... I say "carpe diem". I'm currently only allotted 1200 calories a day. And I'm hungry most of the…

And being competitive... this is actually my main reason for even considering it. I've been using MapMyFitness, which is nice. But adding some friendly competition to the mix could only make it even more fun!

Some of them... turn into pajamas. I have always loved oversized clothing for cleaning around the house and sleeping. Otherwise, there are some great groups locally that I could sell them on. Whatever wouldn't sell I would donate to Goodwill or perhaps the local DV shelter...

BUT my friendly…

up. All hell broke loose...

I have no doubts that the stranger meant well, but the approach was very crude, embarrassing and hurtful. If someone had pulled me to the side with this approach and it was one-on-one, it may have been taken completely differently, but to do this at a table full of my peers would have made me, personally, feel completely…

Congratulations :) That is something to definitely be proud of. Takes a lot of dedication and will power! You look beautiful now, but also then ;)

I do weigh myself pretty frequently. I try not to obsess about the number, particularly three pounds either way. This seems pretty normal for me and water seems to even it out more. I also keep a tape measure handy because I am doing a lot of aerobic activity these days and I'm building muscle. So even though the scale may…

From what I've heard, Zumba is an amazing calorie burner. I have seen some impressive results with people who partake.
