Beautiful!

I lost a few pounds toward the end of my pregnancy. I had gestational diabetes though and I was eating extremely healthy. I gained a total of 9 lbs and then lost 3 or 4 at the end and my daughter weighed 7lbs so really I didn't gain much but my belly sure did balloon out there to new heights. ( I was really heavy though,…

I think its just an opinion and lifestyle thing. I personally do not log it even though I have my diary set on sedentary because I'm pretty active (for a little fat girl :smile: ). My sister does log it because she has a more sedentary lifestyle and she burns a LOT of calories with the HRM in cleaning etc. I log things…

You didn't lose all your friends, I'm still hanging around. I know how you feel. I don't feel as if I've fallen completely off the wagon but when the weight loss slowed down and stopped and I wasn't eating over calorie I began to throw little tissy tantrums then I started eating things I just can't eat because I want more…

I love this... I've said that myself even though it hasn't fully happened yet but I'm about to lose a 180 lb. hemorrhoid!!

Let me start by saying I'm easily embarrassed so it doesn't take much to do me in, in public. One time when my daughter was about 2 I was getting her out of the jeep at a large store and she wanted me to let her stand there while I got my purse. (I never allowed that before instead I held her)... so I said ok I'll trust…

Aww... I love it. I love those natural edged bowls, but all of it is amazing. Very nice!

I don't have any great words of wisdom on this either. I relate because at 35 years old I've already buried both of my parents. I feel trapped on the fence because I see both sides. I wanted my parents to be happy and indulge in life and enjoy every second that they had while here. At the same time neither of them took…

LOL @ Turd magnets.... good one.

I can completely relate to this. I started babysitting young and then taught sunday school. I've always wanted a house full but I never could find a man to settle down with and start the journey. I finally got married when I was 28 I think and I turned 30 a couple of months after my daughter was born. Everything was fine,…

I think relationships that share responsibility are awesome. I have a few friends like that and I'm always thinking wow, how did I end up in my situation. I do all of the cooking, cleaning, child care, garbage take out, shopping etc. I was working two part time jobs, then only one part time job and now that I'm unemployed…

I triple majored in Psychology, Sociology and Criminal Justice. During interviews people seem impressed by it BUT I can't say that it has honestly helped me out much. I have not gotten the job I wanted sooooooo many times in my life.

Yes ma'am. I can tell a big difference but even more important is how you feel and you're a little smirkier in the second pic :) Great job!

I have a Sadie right now. I had a Chantilly Lace before her (Tilly)... but I think if I ever have another I might go with Q-tip or Rastus. Depending on what sex it is and what it looks like.

I too have PCOS. I was diagnosed 6 years ago when trying to get pregnant. I was put on Metoformin to help me get pregnant but as soon as I got pregnant I was taken off of it. Until coming to MFP I didn't know much about PCOS. I'm not knocking my doctor but all she said was that I had cysts all over my ovaries and that I…

I was a hidden valley ranch girl but I found this one at Walmart, its Great Value Light Buttermilk Ranch dressing. Its really good (or I think it is, its been a long time since I've had full flavor.) I like it so well that I buy two every time I go shopping and can't imagine a salad without it.

2008... my mother died that summer. It does no good to relive all the things I would have done differently but I've been doing that since 2008. I would have taken her to different doctors, acted faster, taken it more seriously. Held her hand as she was dying instead of standing there crying like a damn fool.

This is the sign of the times... I work with elementary school kids. One day I had some 2nd -4th graders all playing nicely together outside. It looked as if they were playing cops or something because they were running and shooting and hiding behind things. They were playing so nicely together that I let them stay outside…

I can't help but think this reminds me of a movie I watched as a teen. It was Clueless with Alicia Silverstone. I remember one scene where she talks about how she felt like a cow because of all she had eaten that day and it was not cow or binge worthy. Sometimes I think that's how people on here act. It's funny, but to…

I'm married to a narcissist. It's no picnic. Loving yourself and taking care of yourself to have a healthier lifestyle has nothing at all to do with true narcissism, its a completely different ballgame. You should be proud, nothing wrong with it.

Joey has a pretty face but I can't stand the veins popping out of the arms.

ooh where should I start. I have a very close loving family but my maternal grandmother has always been one to dish out the insults. She's darn good at it too. She's also a preacher's wife. The most hurtful one was when I told her I was trying to get pregnant. She laughed and said that my belly was so big there was no room…

I hear your rant. It would be nice if we could find different sizes attractive. Everyone tries to pretend like all the sizes are nice but I've lived a life of holding belly fat in the middle. Normal sized legs and arms and I've always heard "your wrists are so little, or your legs and butt are soo small, can't you just do…

At a 66 lb. loss if they have to ask, something is wrong with them. You tell em!!

My sister and I have added food to the database when we're visiting and have been able to find each other's foods. You have to type in exactly what they named it (letter for letter). If its in the database you should be able to find it. I don't know how to help other than that, it worked for us but if a lot of people are…

I have no idea. Truly because I'm obese I didn't think it was possible for people my size to go into starvation mode. I know I read about it on here but I kept thinking I have enough fat in my body to last me months. I am pretty active for a fat girl. I tried to exercise 30 min a day. I always ate way under my calories for…

I also have PCOS. It sure took all the "fun" out of trying to get pregnant. I know what a struggle it was for me... I'm happy for you, huge success!

I wish I had this. I'm married but I'm a single parent. My husband spends half of his year in Mexico and the other half working himself sick to go back to Mexico. It is soooo hard and I only have one child. I do want to pull my hair out and I cry very often to get it out. I can't imagine how the rest of the world does it.…

I'm so happy for you and can't wait to join you!!!

I too thought that commercial was a joke. I almost died when they showed the zipper for quick bathroom trips. So funny! I agree with Jane.. Butt flaps for adults is just too much.
