Funniest thing I've read today - thanks! :smiley:

I'm on episode 11 of Season 2. It has a bit more gore than Season 1, I don't think it's really necessary. I like the Punisher's story line but it's dragged on for a bit. Loved Jessica Jones.

<-- red for last summer but dark brown now. And if I can have RDJ - I'm in!

I'm from Winnipeg, Manitoba. We'll have snow and cold until oh, May... :)

Super close! CW: 231.6 GW: 150 Age: 47 H: 5'4" Add me if you need a buddy :)

I'm a single parent of a 13 year old boy (yikes!) and I'm doing this for him, I want to show him what healthy is. Request sent.

I just did it, gave up a 3 can a day addiction to Pepsi. And that was 18 months ago. Was it easy? Nope. I still to this day get an incredible craving for a tall, cold glass but I don't give in to it. Why? Because I'd rather have the calories for food :smiley: I don't think there's anything wrong with diet sodas, if that's…

You can do this. For headaches, sprinkle some of the sea salt on your hand and lick it off or mix some sea salt into a glass of water, got me through the first week. I lost 79lbs on Ideal Protein last year and have maintained most of that loss. I will be going back on the program - using alternate products - after my…

I started at 238, I'm at 162 now. My only regret is not taking any "before" pictures - I refused to be in pictures then. My profile does have a before and after of my driver's license though if you want to have a look. I'm still a work in progress but I'm happy :smile:

Hi from Winnipeg!

She's just "fluffy"...:laugh:

I went from a 9 down to an 8, 7.5 in some shoes. I had to buy new clothes and shoes - it was horrible :happy:

My son is teenager-in-training 12 going on 13 going on 50 and he's allowed one - and only one - sport per season. Even though I think he could probably handle more, I don't want to see him that "scheduled". I like him to still have time for a pick up game of road hockey on the street with his friends or - heaven forbid -…

I'm currently re-building my Lego Death Star for the third time while watching DS9 on Netflix. Left the closet a long, long time ago!

I'm 45 - I know, not quite "early" 40's lol! Been around for almost 150 days - wow! And I log daily.

Sounds like you have a plan this time - good for you! I'm all about support and tough love when needed - that's why I enjoy MFP so much. The cheers when needed and the kick in the pants too :) Good luck on your journey - feel free to add me.

My marriage of 12 years ended 3 years ago. Since last June, I've lost almost 80lbs - not on his account, FOR ME. I wanted/needed to feel better about myself - and I definitely do now! Trying to lose weight to impress an ex is a type of motivation but losing weight to improve yourself is much, much better motivation.

After losing almost 80lbs and changing sizes 8 times, thrift stores became my friend! I've found lots of brand name clothes - some with tags still on. I bought a few "foundation" pieces full (sale) price but otherwise stuck with basics from the thrift store. There does come a time when bigger size clothes just don't look…

Had it done last September, wish I would have done it years sooner! My procedure took about 19 seconds per eye and I could already see better seconds after it was done. I'm 45 so I know at some point I will still need to wear reading glasses but for now, it's so great not having to wear any!

F/45/5'4" [238lbs>159lbs = 79lbs] (12 months) 14lbs to go, give or take

Very cool, thanks for sharing! I'm The Fluffinator (my cat's name...lol!) if anyone wants to add me :)

I have a trifecta of tabbies that rule this house. I love them all even though I'm pretty sure they're plotting to kill me :happy:

Winnipeg!

Seven months to lose 75lbs. I'm maintaining right now but I'd like to lose another 15ish,

I was on IP for 7 months and lost 75lbs! I phased off and am now on WW to "maintain" for the summer. Good luck to all of you!

Fresh bread with a nice crunchy crust. I could eat a whole loaf. Or fresh buns. Basically any type of bread.

I started at 238 almost a year ago and now I'm at 159, hoping to get to 145. I'm 45 years old and 5'4". Trust me, if I can do - you can do it!!!

You all look ah.mazing!!! I'm 5'4" and I lost 75lbs-ish since June of last year - started at 238 and I'm now around 161. My only regret - not taking any "before" pictures. But, I think we all know what it's like - not wanting to be in pictures, scared to jinx anything. I do have a side-by-side comparison of my drivers'…

Manitoba!

I totally know what you feel. I lost 75lbs and when I look in the mirror or see myself in a store window, I still see myself as I was not as I am now. I even had my drivers' license and work ID cards re-taken because neither of those look like me but I still see what I used to be. I wear a size 12 now - still working on…
