Oh here we go...LOL I eat meat and I don't feel that I am "promoting DEATH" I actually find that quite humorous...do you believe that other meat eating animals are "promoting death" as well? I am an equal opportunity omnivore: I like red meat, fish, chicken, seafood, game. I was raised in a household where all we ate (meat…

I don't use whey protein; I use Jay Robb's egg white protein...I like the vanilla because it's easy to add fruit to.

Chobani greek yogurt...the pineapple is my fav. But like alot of others have mentioned, as I've increased my distance, it has suppressed my appetite. It's usually the day after that I want to scarf!

I *may* have "Get Down Tonight" on a playlist :)

1. Urban Cowboy :blushing: Bud and Sissy LMAO 2. Vision Quest 3. Bring it On

"I Like It" by Foxy Shazam...totally offensive, but a great beat to run to and Manfred Mann's "Runner" are probably the top two, but I am a cheese lover! :)
-
These are GREAT...wish MFP had a "like" button. I have a lot of faves, but my most recent favorite is: "I might not be the strongest, I might not be the fastest, but I am damn sure trying my hardest!"

Living well is the best revenge! You have already "rubbed it in her face" just by accomplishing all that you have. It has made her envious of you, that's WHY she feels the need to belittle your significant weight loss to others. But everyone sees her comments for what they are worth...sour grapes and jealousy. Bask in your…

OMG...I know I'm a little late to this game, but this is the best thread ever! And I want to know if there is some Dad 101 class in Flashlight Etiquette that men are required to take before parenthood? Because my dad was the same way. Only I'd have to hold the hood of the truck up with my other hand and while he was…

Advice is what people ask for when they already know the answers ;) I agree with the above poster who recommended continuing to take care of yourself and set a good example. You can't do it for her or want it for her bad enough. She has to be ready to make the necessary changes. But you are a very sweet friend for trying…

Eggs, eggs, eggs in some variation. Because I'm lazy and prone to habit, I usually scramble 2 and eat a piece of bacon or have 12 almonds. Then I have a mid-morning greek yogurt snack around 10. HTH

I use several things to push myself or motivate me during a workout. I ponied up the $$ for a trainer (first time ever) and found that I LOVED having someone push me so hard...seriously, her workouts are like childbirth...all I can focus on for the next 30 mins is breathing! LOL I NEVER push myself like that when working…

I love the fact that I am still banging away at this and didn't give up, despite several challenges and my lazy brain thinking that it can tell my body what to do! My body has overridden my brain several times, letting it know that we aren't giving this up; we like how we feel in this strong, new muscular body!! (And no, I…

I have never been "obese" but I have weighed 30lbs more than I do now. At my heaviest (172 at 5'5"), no one was outright rude to me, but I noticed that I seemed to have disappeared. Clerks began ignoring me, others began to discount my opinions...it was almost as if I was invisible. I HATED that feeling. Like a previous…

First of all; you need some new friends to take shopping with you!! Good grief; that one deserves a kick in the goody bag. You have lost 17 lbs; that's an amazing accomplishment right there!! Focus on your best assets and play them up...do you have beautiful eyes? Flawless skin? Amazingly thick, voluminous, shiny hair?…

bumping to reply later...I *LOVE* my PT
-
OMG; this made me snort Diet Coke outta my nose! I'm sorry your gf dumped you and you had a little pity party...it's OK to do that. Just don't turn it into a permanent way of life...and it sounds like you're back in control if you're posting for accountability :) Living well is the best revenge my friend; stay the course…
-
Geez; I wish I had all this wisdom at 22 and was married for what? a year or two? LOL Not trying to rain on your parade, but sometimes husbands/wives/significant others DO suck...esp if you've been with them for awhile. People make mistakes, people are ****ty to one another even if they do love each other, etc. I agree w/…

Hard to tell w/o looking at your diary.

You asked "How do you deal"...so I'll tell you. When my son was diagnosed with autism almost 5 years ago, I sat down, had a good 2 week cry/feel sorry for myself/wallow in self-pity party and then I put on my big girl panties and figured out what I needed to do to make life better for my son and myself. I say, go ahead and…

^^^This cracked me up!^^^ We do NOT have bikini baristas in WY; but I am thinking I can capitalize on this for our big 4th of July rodeo/celebration and add a cowboy hat and some spurs to the bikini bit and make some coinage! LOL Winters get a little LONG in WY (we've been known to have snow in June), so I know alot of…

What Avalonis said. I also think it depends on what your goals are...if you are only concerned with weight loss and the number on the scale, then no...it doesn't really matter that much; stay w/in your caloric range and eat what you want. But if you are truly trying to attain a healthy lifestyle, feel strong and improve…

Your transformation is AMAZING! What a difference, esp in your belly area! Congratulations on your achievement, you should be soooo proud of yourself! Keep up the good work!!

I'm almost 5'6" and am currently at 145...I think I look pretty good right now, but would like to firm up my triceps and abs. My ultimate goal is 135; I have weighed that before, about 15 years ago, but I wasn't as toned as I am now (thank you strength training!) My avatar picture is from 2 weekends ago, so you can see…
-
Congrats! You should be proud!!! I love reading running NSV's as I just recently completed my first 5K last weekend. Keep up the good work and you will reach your goal this fall!

First of all, don't apologize for struggling...we ALL struggle with something food/weight related, otherwise we wouldn't be here at MFP. :) I too, have fought an eating disorder since I was 16 (I'm 42 now) and understand how disheartening it can be when your head starts playing games with you again...it's such a mental…

Prolly for probably and "fixin' to start"...there's a phrase I loathe...as in "I'm fixin' to start my period"...it's just ewwww

DID she ask your opinion? If so, then yes...you definitely should've told her; albeit gently and ending on a positive note with something like "you are gonna ROCK that skirt when we go to Susie's wedding in a few weeks" If she didn't ask your opinion, then tread lightly my friend. :)
