You look beautiful! What an amazing accomplishment! Keep going, and you'll hit your goal in no time.

In to read the recipes later :)

Amoebic dysentery, FTW.

Commando little spoon to a commando big spoon.

Date 'em? Hell, I marry 'em!

You've really kicked *kitten*! Congratulations on such a great accomplishment, and come home soon. Thanks for your service, from a grateful and proud military family here at Ft. Bragg.

My husband, son and I eat the same meal, with certain modifications made for me (preserve that calorie deficit) and my son (in a growth spurt...gimme fuel!). My son has Sensory Processing Disorder, which manifests itself at mealtime as a heightened sensitivity to spices, so my husband and I add heat at the table (good ol'…

Wow, what a difference you've made! May the next year be a great one for you, and may you have continued great success in becoming healthier!~ Happy birthday!

Congratulations! You look wonderful! Great accomplishment.

D&*k in a box...the gift that keeps on giving...

I just picked up "The Goldfinch," by Donna Tartt. I have a "thing" for Southern writers. So far, it's engaging, but sad.

I prefer to be called a spaz, but hey, what's up? :)

I'm sorry, my brain derailed when I read that your friend eats a block of cheese a day. Does he ever poop? Sorry inner seventh grader is better now. Just ignore them, get healthier, and focus on making your life the best it can be. Your train is leaving the station, and they can come along, or they can wave at you as you…

My apologies for misunderstanding. I was excited for all the wrong reasons, it would appear :) There was a player from Weiden (just up the road from our post) playing that season, and I do remember all the parties, but apparently I completely missed the point. :) Oh, well.

We were able to use our debit card on the military post, in order to get Euros, but when we travelled, I made sure to have enough Euros with me, rather than relying on my debit card. You will find ATMs, too, especially in tourist areas, so it won't be a big problem to find Euros. But as far as using it at the point of…

OMG, why'd you say "radler"? Now, I'm drooling! :) (I miss my Bavaria.)

I've just returned after living near Munich (in Grafenwoehr) for almost four years. Germany is a great place to travel, in general, and we really enjoyed Munich, in particular. The Germans are a very polite, welcoming people, if not quite as outgoing as Americans, and as long as you are courteous (if you have an…

West Side Story, followed closely by The Music Man. I used to teach a unit on musical theater each spring in my general music classes, and these were big hits with the students, too.

+15 for the Journey reference. Don't stop believin'.

I'm four foot eleven. There is no lying to be done here.

This, in spades.

We're Americans who were stationed abroad for several years in Germany, where a local boy played for Bayern Munchen, so we started following them. We like Arsenal and try to keep up with the All-Blacks, too.

43 here, request sent.

When I looked at your diary, I couldn't see where you're tracking water intake. If you're already drinking it, then ignore this, but otherwise, you've got to make sure you drink the recommended amount of water every day. Your calories are already low, and the description in your post sounds like you could possibly be…

This comes up a lot for me, since many of my son's classmates have their birthday parties at the bowling alley here. Normally, I make sure to eat a healthy meal *right* before I go, so I'm not hungry when we arrive. When the pizza, chips, sweets and sodas are offered, I just say, "Oh, I'm good, thanks!" It's never offended…

Having grown up in the Bible Belt, and currently living in North Scare-olina, it happens with such frequency, I barely even notice any more. In fact, to my ear, it's almost like an annoying tic people have; I tune it out. When clueless people say something directly to me about how their imaginary friend did this or that…

Hey, fellow rational people. Glad to find you guys here. I'm 43, married to an active duty soldier in the U.S. Army, and mother to a six year-old hurricane. I have a bachelor's degree in Instrumental Music Education and a juris doctorate, but I'm a SAHM for the moment. I'm going to go prepare for the snow headed our way,…

Your story made me cry, I was so happy for you! You've worked so hard, and you've given so much of yourself, you deserve to be fit, healthy and happy. Congratulations, and thank you for sharing! P.S. --- thank you for being an adoptive mother, too.

I am only the boss of me, so I can only say that, for me, when I weigh less than 100 pounds, I look like a bobblehead doll.

What is your favorite way to prepare your brussels sprouts? I love them already, but I have two reluctant men to convince to try them LOL :)
