I took a quiz on Facebook that said I'm actually a 19-year-old boy, so I'm good, right?

I'm confused on how this town slut thing works. Is it like Highlander "THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!" And we have to cut the heads off our rivals? Because I really need to invest in a good sword if this is the case (not to mention start watching my back). Is it a competition like Survivor? In which case, I really have to step up…

There's a lot of good advice here, and I think some people are saying sort of similar things to what I'm about to: that in some ways, what might help most is a change of mindset? The way I look at it is that periods of maintaining what you've lost already is not "giving up". I find that I can't mentally maintain eating at…

I was packing to move this weekend and uncovered a pair of pants at the bottom of a basket that has missed being sent to Goodwill. It turned out they were the size 24W pants that were the only pair that fit me when I was at my absolute largest a few years ago. I was about to toss them into the new Goodwill bag, when I held…

Are you not allowed to be in on the meal planning? Offer to make salads or grilled veggies to go with the other dishes they're cooking. Suggest getting some yummy summer fruits - watermelon, berries, peaches and nectarines. Stuff like that so there are more balanced options around for everyone.

I went shopping and didn't have to buy anything from the "big lady" sections.

I have PCOS and insulin resistance (and hypothyroidism fwiw), and I do not do low carb (quite the opposite). I haven't eliminated anything (except meat but that's unrelated), not even the "white stuff" (just had a croissant this morning). What I do is eat it sparingly. I eat lots of veggies and whole grains. For example,…

Going gluten-free is only going to stop your migraines if gluten is a trigger for them. Gluten intolerance as nothing to do with it - as a couple of the posters with celiac disease and migraines whose migraines haven't stopped have shown. And the only way to determine that is to do the elimination diet where you eliminate…

Mostly band size, although I did lose one cup size.

Yeah, well, you know, like me, you have that warped 'cougar' perspective. I mean, proper women aren't aggressors like us cougars.

Yes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iQ-mzYRl3s The original manther.

What about Manimal?

For some reason, they don't believe you.

I make them kneel before me.

Actually, it's more than praying. There's a serious big ritual... there's dancing, chanting, incense. Sometimes blood sacrifice (don't worry it's just menstrual blood). Just depends on how desperate we are before the hunt.

I know... me too! Well, not the MILF thing. Just cougar. Apparently, he didn't know what was happening when I wove my evil web... poor innocent lamb.

:raiseshand:

No, no... never. You're beautiful. :flowerforyou: I wouldn't be laughing. It's the world, man... keeping you down. :brokenheart:

Oh those poor innocent young men... they need to be protected from the clutches of those evil, scheming older women who will entrap them and make them have sex... and steal their youth! Those older women need to know their place! They don't belong hooking up with pretty, bright young things. They need to go back home, feed…

Pretty sure there's not. You just have to have the courage to put up with the laughter, jeers, and taunting that may (it might not - and that would be great) result if you do. But it's not illegal (unless you are wearing one that is too small and doesn't provide adequate coverage).

Well, there is the whole most women don't want to be judged by their ****ability factor as they go about their daily lives. I mean, it's just not something we're looking to put on our Power Card, yet, a lot of the time, that's seems to be the only factor society thinks we have on our card. But, hey, yeah, other than…

I think you all mean bi. Either that or you're really bad at basic numbers.

I do this too, especially in the winter or over holidays or heavy travel times. It's just like, okay, I'm not going to worry about losing right now, I'm just going to hold on to what I've accomplished for a a couple weeks or a month (or two).

It says I'm 10% larger than I think I am, but this doesn't surprise me. I've always said that I didn't see myself as large as I am. I have at times had a hard time finding myself in group pictures - until I realize: "Oh, I'm that really fat girl." Or I think I'm "not much bigger" than a friend until I see the two of us…

I have been telling my friends for years that I would like to live in Spain. And they always ask: "Why Spain?" And I'm like: Exhibit A: Spanish footballers

This is a good point. I always forget to mention protein powders and bars since I don't use them. There are a host of them available. And for a non-vegan, whey powder is even on the table.

If you want to up your protein, that's clearly up to you, but there's no rule that says you have to. You're not really "too low". Nor is your fat "too high" (unless you've been told to lower it for medical reasons). I've been losing steadily for months (just hit another 20lbs/15 weeks today) on pretty much those…

No. Carbs do not make your fat cells grow. Unless you eat too many. Your fat cells only grow when you eat too much and your body needs to store the excess. If you are eating at a deficit, your fat cells do not grow - even if you're eating carbs. And while carbs may make you crave more food. That's not true for everyone.…

Th^s is why. Because it wasn't magical... and as you later figured out, fat wasn't bad. And the too-drastic reduction made you feel kinda ****ty. And just like fat wasn't bad, neither are carbs bad. And low carb/high fat is just as "magical" as the low fat diet really. A too drastic reduction in carbs will do bad things…

You look great, and clearly have improved your health and well-being immensely. What a great inspiration. If your doctor is good with where your at (and it seems like she is) and you're feeling good, you should probably consider switching to maintenance. I wouldn't get too wrapped up in the bmi number. You're right on the…
