  • Definitely think that having my Husband (StevLL) and I doing this together makes it work and seem so much easier. We don't bring Junk in to the house--so there is nothing to "tempt" us to falter. StevLL is my biggest fan and cheers the loudest when I reach a goal or have an NSV. Plus the MFP friends we have made on this…

  • We Live in a Tiny town in AZ called St.David. Population of aprox 1700. It's a Farming communitty that has a very large Mormon Church. We are neither Farmers Nor Mormons. Not much to do here at all--except to work outside on your own property---which we do. We have lots of animals: 3 Horses, 5 dogs, 6 cats... Lots to take…
  • Sorry, but any 'doctor' that thinks it's appropriate to use a powerful anesthetic that is only meant to be used under very close monitoring in a hospital as a treatment for insomnia deserves to be found criminally negligent when something goes wrong, regardless of who the patient is. I Agree completely with the above…
  • Yes..IT Counts as water! I drink MIO from time to time and I count it as water. But I happen to really like water anyway. I know it's extremely impt to stay hydrated --esp if you are working out and esp if you are losing weight-- I don't want saggy skin too!--So hydration is EXTREMELY important. Can't say this enough. Best…

  • You BET he Does!!! I'm VERY Lucky as my Husband is: 1) a much better cook than I am. 2) Enjoys cooking more than I do. And 3) When we decided to get married, I made it plain I Did Not Do Dishes, and he was completely cool with that! I will admit that becuase now that I am no longer working outside the Home and He is…

  • Petite sour hearts. They Only come out around Valentine's Day and you either have to order them in bulk (and they aren't cheap) or sometimes you can find them at specialy Candy stores. For an Everyday Candy fix: I like: Good-N-Plenty, StarBurst Fruit Chews, Hot Tamales or Gummie Coke Bottles! Ok, now I want some candy, and…
  • The Princess Bride A Knight's Tale The Thirteenth Warrior Avatar Tombstone Actually we have quite a few that we like to watch over and over and then over again!:glasses:
  • I believe it's a personal choice or preference. I don't wear very much at all any more, just some concealer if I have a blemish , some blush, lip stain and mascara if needed (although lately my eyelashes have gottten so thick and long will all the meds I am on..I don't need it either). I prefer a more "natural" look as I…
  • When I feel down or depressed and sorry for myself...I reach for one of our many animals and hold and stroke them. The sound of a purring cat or the look of love in an adoring dogs face makes me realize I am not alone...I am loved..and I am worthwhile. I believe Animals are the closest beings to God. They are pure and…

We both have lost a good chunk of weight,and still have a lot more to lose! Feel free to send a friend request to one or Both of us! Wishing you all the best and…
  • This sums it up pretty well. Tired of being in Denial about my weight, and the fact that I was now in my 50's and needed to do something soon , cuz I didn't want to look like Jabba The Hut! My husband and I made the decision to start this journey together which really helps., We are each doing it for ourselves And for each…
  • I agree with the original Hills have Eyes. Saw it when I was in High School and it sacred the **** out of me! Don't know about Xanadu except to say that anything with Olivia Newton John is kinda scary!! Oh, an American Psycho with Christian Bale scared me too!
  • I think you learn to Love whatever attributes your significant other or Love interest has. I always preferred my man to be clean shaven and to have a nice Non-hairy Chest. My husband has facial hair year round (with even more in the winter--a full beard)--and yes, he has chest hair. And you know what? I love it and him…
  • This is my second marriage, and I am finally Happy. I met my husband through a mutual friend in a very small town in AZ. We lived on opposite ends of the Same street! The mutal friend thought that the two of us should meet and so we did --with a lot of pushing and prodding on her part. We started out as just friends and…
