I know a teacher who had students who were twins. They were named: Lemon Jello and Orange Jello but it was pronounced Lemm'-onjelo and Oran'-jello with the accent on the first syllable. They said that there mom had such bad morning sickness that all she could eat was ... you guessed it.

You are living my life. I always eat too much and then binge. I've been better recently by trying to spread my meals out more through the day (maybe 3 meals and 3 snacks). Also I try to not waste calories on any drinks - only water or tea or the occasional diet soda (I know it's bad but I treat myself). Usually when I feel…

Yeah I love gaming. Mostly online MMOs. Send a friend request if you like!

Where's you get those!?! My daughter is alligator obsessed.

I started drinking it for the 40 calories (unsweetened almond breeze vanilla) instead of 90 for skim milk but I've come to the point where I like the taste better - well in things like oatmeal or on cereal. Plain is nice too if you add a little truvia and vanilla. Also I use very little milk and almond milk doesn't expire…

Last year I was watching my kids on the playground when a Mother I knew asked me to watch her kids for a few minutes. I made the mistake of saying yes since I knew her kids were very badly behaved in general. Her older son (4th grader) was playing near me and my younger daughter (2nd grade) when he took a whole piece of…

It's a HUGE difference! Who cares what the scale says - your body is totally reshaped. Great work!

You like female cats. They don't like you too much (or at least look angry)

Thanks for posting this. I usually eat well but it always seems that I sabotage myself by having random large binges. I'll try my best to use your advice next time. Although I've often tried to help out homeless people or people coming up asking for help. Not to be too cynical, but very rarely do they want the help, they…

Pink for sure. Also your pose looks like you feel better in that one too.

Back in the days when I was married all I ever wanted for father's day was a day to be alone and do what I wanted. It never worked out that way because elaborate plans were ALWAYS made for me. I spend every second when it's not father's day doing work, catering to the kids, etc. I don't think you are a B**** at all. I…

I'm not sure what a FitBit is exactly but I hope it works out for you Bobbie. Rice is always a good idea to dessicate things.

I use the site to count calories and track my exercise. I don't lose much without the exercise though. I had to start kinda slow (low impact) since I was too heavy at first for my knees to take a pounding doing running or anything. I've tried to stick to protein and keep carbs down but I still eat things like oatmeal and…

RichNice 29?

Scales are funny things. I kinda pigged out for dinner the other night at my daughter's birthday. I came home and stepped on the scale (I have a decently accurate one) and it said 197. I almost fell over because I usually hang around 185ish. I'd been eating poorly for a few days and wondered how I gained 12 pounds in like…

I haven't had much luck myself. I'm at Lifetime Fitness and they give you these occasional Lifetime bucks. You have 1 month to spend them or lose them and about the only thing you can get for them are PT sessions. I did the fit test once which was OK I guess. I told them I wanted my only other free session to be about…

I always enter the food before I start eating it. Unless I'm being bad

It's really hard sometimes when you are trying to eat healthy and the people around you aren't. It makes it much more depressing (at least for me) to watch others eat what I like. Even when I like what I'm eating I'm jealous of pizza and such. Great job saying "No"

Thanks for posting this. Especially all the details. I need to get myself re-motivated and this is really helpful. Congratulations to you on your discipline!

Wow nice! You look great

All I can say is Wow. GReat job!

Congrats on putting yourself out there. Although I think the En Vogue lyric is "Free your mind and the rest will follow". But "Free your mind and your *kitten* will follow" works too.

It's hard to do too much at once because you will start to feel totally deprived and that can lead to binges. Make sure to allow yourself to have some barbecue over the weekend just try not to go too wild. I'm sure you will be fine if you take things in moderation. I found this link about binges helpful since I tend to…

Well...as far as alcohol goes I think your best bet for pure drunkenness is Vodka (with or without some diet beverage) If you're going beer Guinness isn't too too bad. 210 calories per pint (16 oz). I've tried the light beers like Mic Ultra, Bud 55, etc. They all pretty much just remind you of beer and make you wish you…

Welcome Lily, It sounds like you are doing the right thing. I'm also on here for support if you need me. Brett

Wow that isn't what you'd call a good day. But money comes and money goes. Buy the book and enjoy your wedding photos (or call them up and plead for an extension - I'm sure they want to sell you the photos as much as you'd like to have them). You can always travel to the bench on a weekend or holiday and sit there and…

I was in the same boat. I went from 250 to 180 and then sorta lost focus. I maintained and really only gained maybe 5 pounds from Thanksgiving through about a month ago. I still have 20 to lose but just couldn't get/maintain focus. In the end I just had to be happy that I had lost so much and maintained it and rode out the…
