Oh, and as far as drinking 8 cups of water a day and (God forbid) don't count ANY other fluid in that total...the original recommendation was that the average human in an average setting needs 64 ounces of fluid a day. Some of that fluid comes in the food itself that we eat. The rest of it can come from any source you…

I drink it once in a while. I'm usually not a big fan of soda, but I enjoy one from time to time. I'm drinking a diet Mountain Dew right now, as a matter of fact.

Feel free to add me. I've got 37 lbs to go of my 104 lbs goal.

I've done it both ways. I have a family vacation every years with easy-to-log food, so I log. But cruise food is difficult to log. I would skip the logging, be relatively sensible while eating, exercise your *kitten* off (super easy to do on a cruise...never take the elevator, limit your "lounging around" and do lots of…

I had fun that night! When will you be back this way?

Ooops.

A. Maz. Ing!

Thank you everyone. It was an emotional evening for me last night, not the first, certainly not the last. I appreciate everyone's thoughts and prayers. I know I'm not alone in this.

Yep, that might be something to think about.

What do you have pierced? I think I might not be done! I've got 4 in my left ear, 2 in my right, and now my belly button re-done. I need to keep it low key, because I work in a business environment.

The deed is done - and I *love* it!

It hurt like a biotch the first time. I expect the same today. Anything less than that would be nice!

Yeah, this is going to end well.

Absolutely you can eat them tomorrow. Or next week or next year. It's all calories in and calories out. It's how we got overweight in the first place. I don't move exercise calories into other days, though. I log 'em where they are. I'm low one day and over on another. It all works out in the end.

I understand what you're saying. What I said was more in response to the statement that those who have not always been overweight have an easier time losing weight. No one has it easier. Losing weight is hard, perhaps the hardest thing we can undertake in our lives. Having been overweight our whole lives or not, each day…

I don't think it's fair to minimize the effort of someone's weight loss simply because they were once not overweight.

Girl, just LOOK at you! You made my day!

Actually, that is exactly how it works.

^ This. I was going to write more, but it'll just come off b!tchy. So I'll shut up now.

Yes! I cannot eat during times of stress. I completely understand. Listen...don't let the lack of calories stress you even more. It is what it is. When you can make yourself eat, make it count. Protein protein protein. Grilled chicken is relatively innocuous to my stomach. A light piece of grilled fish is good too. Steamed…

I won't kiss & tell! (Well, maybe!)

ABSO-FREAKIN-LUTELY NOT, PHIL! (I'm busy on Saturday, but how do you feel about Sunday weddings?)

Just...watching quietly.

I go slow. I have 23 lbs left to lose, and I'm looking to have it done by April-ish. But if I don't make it by that date, no worries. As long as I get there sooner or later, it's good. I've lost 81 lbs, and I'm ECSTATIC with that!

A little bit of light mayo & some chopped onions.

Separate spinach and/or lettuce leaves & wrap them in layers of paper towels. I lay out a length of paper towel on my counter & then place 1 layer of leaves on it, then roll it up. Store that roll in an airtight bag in the fridge. ETA: don't wash *anything* until you are ready to eat.

War. Huh. Good God. What is it good for?

Taco bully.

Just stop doing laundry. You really need me to point out the obvious?
