Lol. Parents are funny when they are trying to "protect" their kids, huh?

That is great! Congrats on your good health!

LOVE beagles... I've had two and they are just the sweetest, albeit mischievious, little dogs. Both of mine have been total food hounds though...so their weight fluctuated just like mine. But now that I am getting better so is my current beagle. He steals from my son (15 months old) a lot though, so we got to nip that in…

Lol. My beagle likes to try and help with crunches, planks, etc. So does the German Shepherd mix. And the Mutt. They just like it when I get down on the floor. Only the Germie goes for walks with me, the beagle hides when you get his leash out (no idea why) and the Mutt would bark nonstop for as long as we walked. He…

^^^Me too. Fortunately only one kid...or who knows how much bigger I would be. :embarassed:

Boooooo. Leave Cleveland alone. We're miserable enough as it is.

Lol. And I thought I was the only one giving inanimate objects the finger, including the scale, my work computer, traffic lights, and any other number of things.

While I agree about not logging general walking, I have to say that I can get a good workout in at the grocery store. Ducking and dodging around all the people who stand and stare at the food like they never seen it before can get me a fairly brisk walk. :wink:

Yeah, right, veggie burgers are processed garbage. Make sure you never ever eat that horrible processed garbage. Sarcasm aside, I vote for veggie burger. Just out of spite for the typical "processed garbage" commentators.

That was kind of interesting. I love the old photos of her lifting the weights. Really cool. Although I don't know if I could drink warm milk with an egg whipped in it for breakfast...

Makes me thankful I don't have a sister. However, I do have a mother and she can stress me out the way no one else can. I make a conscious effort to only get on the phone with her when I have the time, energy, and patience. Otherwise I keep everything electronic. She can bug me via email, but it gives me more time to…

SMH. If she was doing it to win a bunch of money, I seriously doubt she gives a crap about people saying she looked horrible. And clearly she was not happy or able to sustain that weight since she gained 20 pounds. So why is this a freaking discussion?

Wouldn't the butter devil melt in the fiery depths of hell? How would it hold it's pitchfork?

Why do a-holes get to do whatever they want with no consequences, and all I can do is hope that Karma takes care of it?

A family friend and really good friend of my brother in particular passed away this past Saturday. My brother didn't tell the rest of the family (he was really sick at the time) so we found out on facebook. My boyfriend found out his Ex was marrying some deadbeat with multiple divorces, garnishments, and evictions and…

I have a fifteen month old and if I make it to 6:30 it really is cause for celebration! That said, today I overslept a little and grabbed a hard boiled egg I made last night for my breakfast. I was suprised that it was fairly satisfying considering it was all I had.

Oh no... I keep forgetting it's time for delicious Cadbury and Reese's Eggs. Thankfully, I avoid the store as much as possible or else I'd be buying them daily.

Yeah, they're the same. I looooove hard boiled eggs. I made a dozen last night and have already had two.

Yes, I believe it has been better for me too. Other things I've noticed include: looser clothes less tired less "mood swings" (I don't know if this is really due to weight loss or not) Desire to do more things, such as cook a nice meal, visit family, take the baby out and about

I propose a liquid diet, delicious whiskey. You know it's good when it burns going down. :wink:

I'm in too.

Most annoying habit to my friends/family: I am horribly indecisive. Family/Friend asks: "what do you want to do tonight?" Me: I don't know/I don't care ^^^Some variation on this conversation happens on a daily basis in regards to just about anything. Personally, I think my worst habit is rolling my eyes whenever I think…

I have a beagle...need I say more? He cannot help himself but stop and smell every. single. thing. And bark at every single thing. I take the German Shepherd with me sometimes. She is getting older too, but I figure we both can use the exercise and if I need more "intense" exercise I can do other things or drop her off at…

^^^^^^ Love this.

Brought a smile to my face on a (crappy) Monday morning. I weigh in whenever, mostly out of curiousity about the fluctuations. But I don't obsess about it and use Saturday morning as my "official" weigh in day for no reason in particular.

Great work! I woke up this morning and pulled out a shirt thinking I would wear it open over another shirt. The I put it on and thought "hey maybe I can button it up." And lo and behold it buttoned. The little things really help.

Last time I drank I was feeling it after two beers. My alcohol tolerance has completely gone AWOL since I started eating better and exercising. My college roommate always had theories about how to avoid a hangover and prolong your drinking time. 1. Eat Greasy food, she swore by a Rallys chili cheeseburger. 2. Pretzels. Eat…

ROFL. This made my week.

I was in a pretty bad mood this morning...thanks for the laugh. :bigsmile: Congrats on your success!

I sometimes get the grilled chicken honey mustard snack wrap from McD's when I have class after work. It's not great for a full blown meal though, hence the "snack" in the name. But it tides me over until real dinner.
