This is what I do, as well. For 20 minutes or so after I brush my teeth, nothing tastes good. By then I'm over my craving.

You wonderful woman, you! Congratulations -- you should feel so proud!

Fantastic news--keep up the GREAT work!

WOW, did I blow it yesterday! I've had random treat days since the beginning of the year, but they were just little one-offs, like a snack-sized bag of chips or a couple of cookies. But the demon Fatticus, Eater of Everything possessed me yesterday and I ate...oh, I can't even write it all out. Some bright spots, though: I…

MissLC: I judge you--to be AWESOME!!! :wink:

I have a "little red dress" that I can only zip halfway up. I've been taking progress pix as I lost weight and when it zips up the whole way, I'll finally have some pix to post!!!

Here we go again--best of luck, all! SW: 199 (Feb. 1 2014) CW: 186 GW: 181 Weigh in Dates: 4/01: 186 4/08: 4/15: 3/22: 3/28: End of Month

I've been punching holes in my leather belts -- there are three new holes in each. It's a really satisfying way to use a hammer! Keep up the good work, everyone!

Yeah, that happened to me 10 years ago--I had my gall bladder removed and while I was recuperating in the hospital room, a nurse (who was older than I was) came in, looked at my chart, looked at me, and said, "Yup. Fat, forty, and female." Checked my fluids and left. I was so shocked I couldn't think of anything to say.…

Situations like this are opportunities for us to be everyday heroes (or, in my case, a heroine). When we witness unkindness and bullying, it's our chance to step up and say "Oh, no, you don't. Not while I'm standing here." I feel like Eowyn from Lord of the Rings whenever I do that, and the bullies always back off. After…

I'm with you on this, Shari. I've said it a couple of times in other posts -- I know that everyone on MFP wants me to succeed, and I feel that way about everyone on MFP. With such a huge virtual support system, I don't need anything else.

LOVE this idea. I'm going to go shopping in my Rubbermaid storage bins after dinner!

Something really, REALLY bad happened to me at work today. :frown: And instead of coping by eating the entire contents of my refrigerator, I did a 30-minute rage workout on the elliptical. :happy: ADVANTAGE MINE!

I love NSV threads--congrats, everyone, way to go! Mine is that I'm up to 15 minutes on the elliptical. A month ago I could barely do 1 minute.

You are WONDERFUL, JudiBug. And I celebrate your transition from obese to overweight--I can't wait until I'm there too, so I can jump up and down and yell "WOOHOOOOOOO! I'm finally overweight!" :smile:

Oh gosh, what a cutie patootie you are! Good going -- we're all cheering for you!

A month ago I could barely get through 1 minute on the elliptical. I'm up to 13 minutes.

You win the internets today.

I decided to lose weight because I was tired of being invisible. it's amazing how easy it is for people to just look right through somebody who's carrying around as much bulk as I am (well, was...I'm 30 pounds down since November). I've seen a number of women around my age (I'm 52) who sort of shine from within, who aren't…

Food is a lousy friend and a worse lover.

So many great NSVs. You are all inspirational!

I can wear a belt that's been too small for as long as I've owned it!

Just a note to all fellow travelers on the weight loss highway -- you are AWESOME. Great work!
