Well, I can't really relate to what you are saying... I've never had it happen... but you can always just ignore/delete, I guess.

[quote="dubstepvideobody;c-40102318 Hey why were you denied??? To add me Maybe I clicked on the wrong button, sorry. [/quote] When I try to send you a message, it doesn't show your name... it only shows "username". But that was before I joined the group, so I'll try it now.

Thanks. I'm just really depressed right now because I've gained 10 lbs in the past 2 weeks... I had a few days where I was on vacation and didn't track anything, and my eating habits weren't great. We were in a location that didn't have many options for healthy eating (a music festival in a small Midwestern town - lots of…

You don't sound like you have a problem with confidence to me - and with that body, I can't say I blame you! You look fantastic!

American bread is usually filled with bleached flour, sugar, chemicals and preservatives. There are some "artisan" breads that do not contain those ingredients, but for the most part they are nothing but bleached flour, sugar and additives. I think that's why so many Americans are obsessed with "low-carb" eating. The only…

My goal is to have enough body confidence to have some risqué boudoir photos taken... so I don't cringe and crawl into the fetal position when I see them.

I'm struggling with this as well. I have to be out the door by 7 am so I can make it to work by 8 am. That means I need to get up at 4:30 am to do 30 minutes of cardio and 30 + minutes of strength training before I start getting ready for work (I do have a gym membership but I have weights and an elliptical machine at home…

This is very true... I have to constantly fight temptation at WORK of all places. We have potlucks all the time, and people bring donuts to meetings... they also bring cookies and cake to celebrate birthdays and have pizza ordered in to celebrate victories. I've even had co-workers literally bring desserts from their lunch…

I think lectins are those little slimy sucker things that doctors used in the Middle Ages to suck "bad humors" out of people's bodies.

I dressed as Xena back in college (complete with black wig). Wouldn't mind dressing like her again... or maybe as Callisto.

I'm new here, so I'll chime in... Age: 45 Height: 5'10" (178 cm) HW: 228 lbs (103 kg) CW: 180 lbs (82 kg) GW: Ideally, it would be 150 lbs (68 kg) but I would be happy with 160 lbs (73 kg)

I tried to add the OP as a friend but was denied :( At any rate, YES, I would love to look like a model, especially a VS mdel... I know it's not feasible because I'm 45 and not pretty/photogenic enough, but a girl can always dream. I have a Pinterest board with inspiration from various articles about the VS angels and some…

yep, this is me. I cannot have pizza around me in any form whatsoever because I WILL inhale it. ALL of it. Same with donuts. I will eat 6 of them and not give it a second thought.

I don't think I have anything... at least, not that I've been made aware of.

I believe you've cracked The Awesomeness Code ™. Well done!!

I got up early to do 30 minutes on the elliptical, and plan to do some strength training after work today. I've also prepped my meals and logged all of my food for today.

Seems legit.

I didn't know who he was either until my husband took me to the concert. He likes music "from a certain generation" :)

Don't know if this really counts as a celebrity, but I went with my husband to a Mel Tillis concert and then got his autograph afterwards. He hugged me really, really hard.

I want to know how many people immediately reached into their wallets and billfolds to find a $1 bill so they could try this.

See, this is all killing me because I haven't gotten any messages like this at all since joining MFP. I almost kinda envy you ladies... it's like a cheap laugh in your inbox every day!!

This needs to be made into a T-shirt RIGHT. THIS. SECOND.

You do realize that saying you have both sets of genitals might get you more responses than you could possibly handle, right? LOL

Good for you! I went on vacation for a few days and didn't track anything I ate... and I KNOW I made some poor eating decisions... came back home to discover that I'd gained 5 lbs :( but I took responsibility for my actions and am now prepping meals, tracking calories and exercising every day. I will NOT allow a few days…

This is a small NSV, but... there's an all-you-can-eat ice cream event this afternoon that only costs $2 to attend. I really, really REALLY wanted some ice cream, but it won't fit into my daily eating plan. I'm giving my $2 to my husband (who works with me) so he can have ice cream instead.

Ahhh... Comfort food that was invented (or revamped) in the U.S. Yes, it's definitely high in calories. Just about everything you'd by at any state fair in the U.S. will blow your diet right out of the water.

I'd say Indian cuisine is by and large extremely rich and fattening. Yes, there are some dishes like chicken tandoori and some soups that are lower in calories, but most of the stuff in Indian restaurants is highly caloric. Must be one of the reasons why it's so magically delicious :)

"Make today so awesome that yesterday gets jealous!"

OK, this crap annoys me to no end. I'm 45 and have lost 55 lbs so far since last August and am shooting for another 25 lbs. It's this kind of talk that dissuades women over 40 from even trying to lose weight. They are told they should just throw their hands in the air and give up instead of being given some constructive…
