  • This is so fun to read! My uncle called me Pickle. (don't know why) My dad called my Chubs. (self fulling perhaps) In fourth grade I was called the Nazi (boys are mean!) Throughout most of jr high and high school I was Pearl. My brother-in-law calls me Meat. ( I have no idea!) And now my two Favorite nick names are Gretch…
  • Yayayayayayay! :laugh:
  • ... you absent-mindedly try to grab some other child's hand at the mall because he is the same height as your child, and your child is actually for once, not with you...
  • Well, my eating habits are changing by leaps and bounds. My children are eating more veggies and fruits and drinking more water. My kids are working out with me on a regular basis and 'playing' more with me outside and just becoming more physical in general. And since I'm incorporating a meatless dish here and there, they…
  • I have had my Wii Zumba since March and I love it! I do other exercise so it isn't my only workout but I'm not bored yet! It is more like a game because you want to beat your score every time. That and the music is fun. The time goes so fast and if my 280 lb self can {{shake it shake it}} any one can! Was a little…
  • oh and I'm just not girly enough to compliment a glittery man
  • My thoughts exactly! I'd definitely pick heat and growly babies over frozen fanged babies.
  • I can totally see your weight loss in your face!!!!! Nice job! You have given me some inspiration!! :flowerforyou:
  • Oh! Ice cream ice cream ice cream! And Chinese food! *drool*
  • Shame on him! Remember though, this is for you to be healthy, it isn't about what others( even the hubby) thinks. Gotta do it for you, despite the emotional rollercoaster or misguided loved ones opinions! Hugs!
  • I absolutely get this! I'm a recovering emotional over-eater. I'm learning to use exercise as a way to divert my emotional eating. I have fallen off the healthy wagon numerous times in my life just to find myself knee deep in donuts and still unhappy. Please don't beat yourself up! Just restart your engine. Yesterday is…
  • I come from a very small, rural Minnesota, town and I hear you. We do have a lot of walkers so I think that is more tolerated. There are people who bike for exercise on the local trail but it is almost unheard of for people to bike to work. I say Keep It Up! It is time for all the folks in Meat and Potato Land 'O 10,000…
  • Thank you for the info! I will probably get it checked out, just in case. I'm currently without insurance so I thought I would ask those wizened MFPers first! Thank you Friends!
  • Amen! Took me a long time to realize that I needed to do it for me, by me, and in the end it is me and MY Maker that wake up every morning and say.."gonna try to do this today." Dig deep and you'll find it. :)
  • These are my go-to foods: Almonds, Quaker rice cakes (minis and the regular size, so versatile!), skinny cow anything (yummo), frozen fruit (for smoothies), lots of beans, salt free spices, and my new favorite thing: 0% fat Greek yogurt. Oh yeah, and coffee.
  • My beautiful friend dont be discouraged! I can see you face is thinner and your waist looks more defined. Your jeans are actually loose by your upper thigh! I can tell. You have a pic taken with the same t shirt and pants in the same doorway every month on the same day and garuntee you will see a difference! Love you! And…
  • My clothes are fitting not tight and I can hardly wait till they are too big. I say thrift store for a few essential items because you are still losing! Then you can be comfy in your new size without spending oodles of cash!
  • Wowowowow! Yay!
