My scale says 119!

Okay Starting weight: 124 Goal weight: 114

I'm in... at least I'll try! I'm not sure of my starting weight, I will weigh in tomorrow.

Unfortunately I don't have many suggestions for you, but I just wanted to post to tell you that I hope something works out for your mom. Have you tried contacting the American Cancer Society? Or look into your state's "high risk pool" health insurance, it's designed for people who have pre-existing conditions.

I love chocolate so much. I usually have a few pieces of a dark chocolate bar, a skinny cow vanilla ice cream sandwich or a glass of chocolate almond milk. If you haven't tried chocolate almond milk (I like the sweetened one a LOT better than unsweetened), you need to!!

I'm 5'2" and I started MFP at 130 lbs. I know it doesn't sound like much but when you're petite every single inch really shows, so I understand why you want to lose 20 lbs even if you'd be in the healthy range at 130. I'm going to add you as a friend, we can motivate one another!

I would eat guacamole. Lots of calories but also tons of good fats, potassium, calcium, vitamin C and K, folic acid, copper, sodium and dietary fibers!

I refused to try avocado for a long, long time because I thought they looked weird & would taste gross. Now, I love them! I usually take 2 or 3 of them, get the meat really mushy (I HATE chunks, it's a texture thing- I'm weird), add finely chopped sweet onion (a small slice worth), then I add some lemon juice, sea salt and…

I have a sugar skull with roses as a half sleeve on my arm, from elbow to my wrist. There is a bumblebee, stormy cloud, a heart and tiny stars all as filler. I have all the card suits on my forearm. I have an unlucky black cat with the number 13 on my inner bicep, along with a pizza slice with a banner that says "DAD" on…

Make sure you get organic apple cider vinegar with the "mother" in it. Bragg's brand is the best!

bumping this for later!

Take it in a glass of water, adding 1 or 2 T of raw honey to it.

I love that they don't expire, but I *HATE* how much paper they waste!!

Oh my god I LOVE LOST!! I've never enjoyed a show so much in my entire life, though Twin Peaks comes close. My favorite characters are Sawyer & Frank Lapidus, though I really also like Desmond, Miles, Jin, Sun & Hurley. I'm like borderline obsessed with this show. Who do you all think the 'candidates' are?

I have a close friend who suffers from anaphylaxis and her throat can close up & she can die if someone anywhere near her has eaten a number of different foods recently (she is most allergic to peanuts). While in school, there were quite a few people who didn't believe her for whatever reason, and they used to throw…

Is it possible they suffer from anaphylaxis?

Agree!!! I hope nobody who is commenting about how horrible this is is also a smoker!! :)

Thanks, I put it under light impact aerobic exercise but it was only 90-something calories, so I wasn't sure if that was correct.

Aw, this made me smile. Congrats to you, and your doctor sounds adorable!

I agree, I try to chug water when I'm in food monster mode. If I'm still starving 15 minutes later, then I eat something.

I know that McD's treats their meat with ammonia, but I bet they do all sorts of other nasty things to it as well.

Sometimes you need an indulgence like that! All things in moderation :)

It's sooo gross! I used to eat McDonalds a few times a week sometimes. I can't imagine that stuff just sitting there, not breaking down easily. And people feed it to their kids *ALL* the time. It's such a shame that it's so cheap & healthy food is so pricey.

I am on day 2 of Wellbutrin and though the effects haven't kicked in yet, I researched online and one common side effect was less of an appetite/weight loss. I'm kind of excited for that, lol.

I had physical therapy today and he kicked my butt! Then afterwards I walked around and shopped for a few hours. This is a lot for me :) I also picked up a "Walk Away The Pounds" DVD that I'm going to begin tomorrow!

Haha I love this show! It's a guilty pleasure. Kate sucked so much. I don't understand why Annie was even placed in the house, other than to be the boring one.

....okay? I'm pretty sure the OP and everyone else on this thread was referring to your own kitchen, at home.

Yes! It only takes 10 seconds so I don't see why anyone wouldn't. Better safe than sorry!

The NuvaRing caused me to lose my hair a lot, like it came out in clumps. Hormonal birth control scares me now. Have you considered the Paragard? It's like the Mirena but has no hormones.

As someone who is 27 and just had spinal fusion surgery on my lower back- DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN TO PREVENT BACK ISSUES! Strengthen your core, spend time building up your core muscles! It is worth it! I wish I had worked out when I was younger instead of being lazy & ignoring my pain.
