Rudeness. Nothing will make me give you the side eye faster than you talking down to someone or treating people like they are beneath you.

Walmart and Target clothes are trash as far as quality. Absolute garbage. Personally I like Old Navy's line of athletic wear.

I had the Lap Band one year ago yesterday. I have absolutely no regrets and I think that's due to a combination of several things. This was a decision that was several years in the making. I have struggled with my weight my entire life, so I started looking into WLS in my early 20s (I'm 31 now). Ultimately I decided on Lap…

nalla08 - I'm 31. Thanks!

Congrats! That is awesome work. Keep it up!

Unless you have a vagina, your input is absolutely irrelevant to the topic of this discussion.

looks delicious!

Some women have a MUCH heavier flow than other women. And sometimes my cramps are so unbearable that the only thing I can think of doing is taking a double dose of 800 mg ibuprofen and praying that I pass out. Neither of those symptoms puts me in the mood to even think about exercising. It ain't gonna happen. If that makes…

I have been in your neighbor's shoes. I live on the second floor of three floor unit. I go out of my way to try to limit the noise for the person who lives below me meanwhile I am stuck with the inconsiderate jerk who lives above me. It is extremely frustrating. I have done the banging on the ceiling albeit not with a…

Honestly, I've never understood the addiction to diet soda. To me it tastes absolutely horrible. But to each their own. As far as the artificial sweeteners - I suffer from migraines and I notice an uptick in my migraine frequency and intensity when I've been regularly consuming artificial sugar such as splenda. I try to…

I know exactly what you mean. You've got a couple inches on me - I'm 5' 3.5. But I have always been "healthy." Even in middle and high school I had a very womanly shape. My goal is actually to get back to my high school weight of 180-185 lbs. But really I'm more concerned with clothing size. A size 14 is ideal for me.…

I too have learned the benefit of checking a restaurants menu before going to eat. It really does help me plan better, including adjusting my other meals for the day in case I just insist on having the most unhealthy meal that night when going out with friends. But another thing that I've learned from logging on mfp,is…

I agree with the suggestion to see your doctor. Make sure that there is no medical reason why you're having trouble losing weight before you give up.

I hate my boobs but love my hair. I hate my arms but love my butt.

I keep seeing people say that any pace faster than a walk is running and I don't necessarily disagree with that, but then my mind starts wandering. And I think what's the difference then between walking and running? I ask because I occasionally watch those speed walking races - usually during the Olympics. Even though they…

Jogging, running? - It's all the same to me. Both terms indicate a pace faster than I have ever been capable of maintaining for more than a minute.

WOW!

First of all, PUMP YA BRAKES! I didn't take offense to anything you posted. Not even your light hearted and somewhat slightly amusing dig at my post. Nor do I take offense at "just sayin." Stating that it annoys me is not the same as stating that it offends me. There are a lot of things that annoy me but I don't bother to…

When people say "just sayin'..." For some reason that really irritates me. I am also annoyed with the unnecessary rude comments that people post. It's one thing to have an opinion. It's another to act like an a**hole. [/quote] Omigosh, I HATE that saying in any scenario. Especially when someone says it in person.…

Is it really being sensitive if someone takes offense to something that is offensive?

When people say "just sayin'..." For some reason that really irritates me. I am also annoyed with the unnecessary rude comments that people post. It's one thing to have an opinion. It's another to act like an a**hole.

I was complimented by two co-workers today. The first said to me "you're wasting away into nothing." or something to that effect. She has been very supportive and encouraging throughout this process. And the second complimented me on my hair. Both felt really good.

Honestly, I'm not impressed with any of them - the top row or the bottom row.

Wow! This is really hard. 1. The Color Purple 2. The Birds 3. The Breakfast Club 4. School Daze 5. Coming to America

You don't know where people are on their journey. Your "kicking them into gear" can do more harm than good. Not everyone is a tough love kind of person.

Absolutely! I was planning to say the same thing about Star Jones. She was much prettier when she was heavier. When she lost weight, it seemed like she aged about 20 years. I can also make a long list of women who are heavy that I think are attractive and long list of women who are thin that I think are not attractive.…
