OMG, the metal image is killing me! :laugh:

Buy him a beer, congratulate him on all his success, and suck it up. Its totally normal to feel jealous. Just use it to refocus on your own goals, and stop the backslide into old bad habits before any real damage is done. ETA, congratulations on your own success, and for making such a major impact on someone else! :)

Yep! Totally agree. I know that eating more than I burn makes me gain weight. However I decide that having a whole bag of chips, or a buttery pot of rice with cheese and bacon is more important than being smaller and feeling better? Well to me, that is choosing to be fat. I can't speak for everyone else, but I sure feel…

I should have sold mine. I gave them to Goodwill instead. I am not done, so maybe this next go round, I'll try a sale.

Isn't is cute when a newbie joins and thinks they own the internet and ALL the message boards? lol OP, I like your hair color now. Anything in the red family is good, so I guess Ginger would be my answer, or maybe even a strawberry blonde.

Yay for Dr. Who gifs! Sorry was trying to keep up with the OP's theme, but apparently Turdis is the only poop related gif out there. lol

Looks amazing. My husband hates cream cheese icing, so maybe I could add mini chocolate chips in it instead and adjust the calories.

:laugh: You are funny and I now I want to send a friend request.

Awesome!! You look great!! Keep it up!!

Hah!! Jenna made me buy her a cup of coffee and I had to be Primrose, and she was Katniss. The chick who took our order got what she was trying to do and laughed when she wrote the names on the cup. The lady who made the drinks apparently never read the books, (or anything for that matter), because she completely…

That's okay! Your heart is in the right place and you will catch up soon enough. :bigsmile: One of the things I like about the series is that you can watch a season with a new doctor and not be too lost. If you cannot access all of the seasons on Netflix, you can probably find it online on Projectfreetv.com. Still not able…

I am pretty bad with the sharts when I am at work and no one working with me. The funny thing is, I never have that issue anywhere else, and sometimes I have no warning its gonna happen. I really think its just because we are not allowed to leave the floor if we are the only one working. I've had TWO occasions I thought it…

My sister was selling them and yeah it works for a while. Its probably a great tool to use when you have a nice dress you want to fit into quickly. The fact that you have to keep buying them and using them shows its just temporary. I've heard they are expensive to buy as well, so unless you are only using them to fit into…

Check out The Game by Terry Schott. About people living in a VR world, aware when they go in, and while they are "playing the game", they are born, live and die there and come back to the real world. It was free for my Nook. The Fault in Our Stars was great. I really enjoyed The Host by Stephanie Myer as well.

Same here. I am just nosy by nature and he is too, but not as much as I am. lol We've considered locking our phones, but I have forgotten my code in the past and had several anxious moments until I remembered my access code. I can lock and wipe the phone from my computer if it gets lost or stolen, and I don't do anything…

He's upset with his mom, so he's staying in town near her after a fight? Yeah....might be a lie, especially if he is ignoring you now.

5'3" and its sooo annoying to try and find pants that don't seem to go a mile past my feet.

Have you reset your goals since you lost weight? I do mine every 10lb and it adjusts down 20 to 30 calories each time. I was taking in over 1600 calories when I started and now around 1530 before a workout.

It might sound crazy, but you will keep it off, rather than crash dieting, possibly losing the weight quickly, stopping the diet, gaining it back plus, and coming back here again to start over.

Sorry to push up a zombie thread, but I needed the info since we are fighting a major flea issue. I am so close to just wanting to burn the whole house down and start over. lol

Its like a four way!

If you are not weighing and measuring ALL your food, than you are probably over eating. If you are weighing your food, than are you weighing it before its cooked? This ensures you don't underestimate how many calories you are eating.

Right? I was going to say 9, but I creeped your profile and between ironing, and sweeping, total 10. I would have given myself a 4 or 5 a few months back, but I feel awesome and am amazed at the changes I see and feel, so 7 out of 10 over here.

Wow! Why would anyone do that? I do love the sound of them chirping and singing away though. Used to leave my windows open in NC just to hear them at night.

I love the elliptical as well. As long as you are getting your heart rate up where it needs to be and getting about the same calorie burn as a treadmill, go for the elliptical. You only get one set of knees, so keep them from getting more messed up if you can.

I hit up the thrift stores and places like Ross, Marshalls or TjMaxx for inexpensive clothing, and I plan on investing in a few nice pieces of clothing after I hit my goal weight, but I've always been pretty cheap when it comes to spending money on clothes. You can buy some nice pieces, and have them altered a few times as…

Start off with then nightly walks. She is open to that so keep going and as she feels better, maybe you can encourage her to make a couple of other changes. Don't overwhelm her right away.

Perhaps that is why it is in the Chit Chat Fun and Games section? And this isn't a troll thread. Its from a MFP user who has been here for a bit and she is asking for advice. Troll threads are usually by newbies, who don't have their profile filled, or older members looking to have some fun. :)
