Well aren't I completely unoriginal? My name is Erica Lynn and my birthday is October 4th. (I chose not to use my last name because it'll change soon enough.) My original name on here though was "sisterfluteloop." The story behind that one... All the kids in my youth group had sister/brotherhood names. I used to wear a hat…

Like someone said, he probably won't even notice. My mom lost quite a bit of weight a few years ago and I didn't see the difference because I saw her every day and I was used to it. In pictures I could see the difference, but you naturally adjust to someone you see everyday. Go for it!! He'll understand someday.

Any military S/O's feel free to add me! My fiance is active duty Marines and he is deployed. I'd love to be friends with you guys because us military girls (and guys!) are stronger together!!

I'm a military fiancee.. Does that count? lol

bump

My Girl. And The Lion King.

bump! When I get a chance I definitely want to read this one and the other one. I'm currently in school for elementary education.

I typically bloat and either plateau or gain a little. I hope that's what's going on this week.. I'm a week late, I've been watching what I eat, exercising, and gaining weight. It's pretty discouraging actually, but hopefully it'll even out in 1-2 weeks.

The yolk is high in calories but it's still yummy. What I typically do for my scrambled eggs, I take one whole egg and one egg white (if you want better proportions you could to two egg whites) so I still get some yolk, but it's less calories than two whole eggs. :)

Once my dad told me that if I wasn't more careful I was going to be like my mom.. My mom has always been overweight. And I still cant believe it was my dad who said that, because it's not like he is the thinnest or fittest person in the world! (Oh and thanks, dad for subtly calling me fat.) I was probably in 6th or 7th…

His dad is AWESOME and we get along really well. His mom and I have had an interesting relationship... We're working on trying to get along but its still pretty awkward.

Exercise. Sometimes I'd rather just relax or I'm oober busy. Diet isn't too hard for me typically but it's pretty difficult to find the motivation for exercise.

Hahaha!!! I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks that way. There was a guy I liked in high school (and he likes me now.. go figure) and he's a friggin' twig! lol. I took a picture with him once and looking back I'm like :noway:! Of course that picture was at one of my heaviest weights too, but still.

bump.... minus the soy sauce though

bump!

I plan to keep using MFP for maintenance once I get to my goal weight. The journey to get where I am now has been challenging, I know the rest isn't going to be easy either so why would I just quit once I get there? I might be a little more lax about it, but I REFUSE to throw away all my hard work!

Feel free to add me. I love making new friends!

This entire episode was hilarious!! Loved that part!

Not only are the writers brilliant, but I applaud the actors for keeping straight faces (although I'm sure many shoots are necessary.) Absolutely LOVE the show!!!

Well.. We aren't married yet, but my wonderful fiance is amazing!! He's active duty Marine Corps and he's currently deployed. But despite being deployed, he is just as amazing as EVER! He still is totally sweet and romantic, even across the world. He is still constantly looking out for me and his family, and he is always…

For a long time I weighed more than he did. He was pretty thin although he had a little muscle. But now? I finally weigh less than him!! It's a combo though. I'm losing weight and he's been bulking up. :)

I want to be fit and happy with the way I look. I want to rock a bikini for the first time in my life.. I want to do that this summer while at the same time surprise the HECK out of my boyfriend who will be returning from deployment!

Yes.. And it was recently too! In high school I was dating a guy (who is now my fiance) but I was dumb enough to break up with him because I liked this other guy. Guy #2 flirted a lot but nothing ever happened. When he started to date my best friend, I realized what I had given up when I broke up with guy #1. We talked it…

Marinate chicken in Italian dressing for a few hours. My mom grills it and I'm gonna try baking it sometime. :)

A Walk to Remember

Wow girl!!! You look fantastic!!! Great job!

I'm gonna have to remember that one!

I was shooting for February 15th anyways. :) 5'4" CW: 155-158 GW: 150

"If you lose any more weight there won't be anything left." Ummm maybe I hide it well but I am still overweight and still not pleased with my body. K, thanks. Oooh! And when my boyfriend knows I'm working out, if I skip a day he criticizes me. I'm not stuck on a ship where my only option for free time is working out. I…
