PMA140

You guys were right. No matter how much I tried to convince myself that I KNEW this was a long term commitment, I always kept in the back of my mind the idea that I could do it quickly, lose the weight, and then not have to worry about it anymore. It took 150 post from strangers for me to admit to myself that I was still…

We met in middle school at around age 13. Started dating at 17. Been together 15 years this year :-)

I'd tell my 4 year old son who is obsessed with dinosaurs. He'd probably ask if he could shoot it :-) What would you do if you wanted cereal but the milk was bad?

I think that's a good honest answer.

Agreed, that was one of my favorites!

:flowerforyou: :drinker: :heart: You might need one of these, you're grumpier than I am :-) Least helpful reply, but most amusing.

A few things: First of all THANK YOU! I am going to enjoy reading your motivation and stories of success over and over and getting ideas and inspiration from them. Yes I'm negative and grumpy in my OP. I'm not ALWAYS that negative, I am frustrated and angry at myself. I don't only have 20 pounds to lose. I'm 5'9" 191…

:flowerforyou: I am hard on myself. I hold myself and everyone around me to high standards. I don't know why really, I guess I just think people are capable of great things. That's why failing at this for so long is so hard on me.

I started today, I started last week, I started last year, I started 10 years ago. What I haven't done is finished what I started.

Yeah, I don't want to win the Olympics. I want to find a way to make this PART of my life but not make it my life if that makes sense. Finding balance is always a problem with me. Wanting to give 100% to my job, my family, and my health but there's not enough time, energy, and focus to give each the attention it deserves.

Thanks! Those are sweet and positive answers. Honestly, I just feel like I'm whining. I know I'm the only one who can figure it out but I've tried so many times and never gotten it right. I am so frustrated and feel like a failure. I like to have control over things and this keeps getting away from me. Maybe I need a…

I'm 32 with a 4 yo son, took 3 years to have him. Been TTC for 2 years now. My regular OB/GYN is not being proactive at all. I am currently looking into fertility specialists to see where to go from here.

You wear socks with your sandals ..eww You go to the beach when it's way too cold for us locals to even think about it 75* or below :-) You bring your suitcase to the outlet mall, (I see this all the time, crazy) You kids wear your mickey mouse ears everywhere they go But my favorite is the "lobster" people. You can tell…

Maybe I live in a bubble, but I tend to see a lot more of people fat shaming or body shaming themselves rather than other people actually poking fun at them. I say negative things about myself and because of that even my four year old son has said some things that hurt my feelings. I can't blame him for what he picked up…

Not sure about calories but the lettuce wraps for appetizer are delicious!!!

I'm in. I actually had a very stressful week at work and ended up gaining 1 pound this week. So I am going to aim for 6 pounds this month. I'm just starting this and have plenty to lose so it should be doable. SW: 192 CW: 190 GW: 184 for End of August Overall Goal Weight 150 Weigh in Dates: Start of Month (8/01 Friday):…

I don't think libraries and fitting rooms are inappropriate places for small children. Some people take on an attitude that children should not be seen in public. Sort of on that note, it grinds my gears when people insist on taking their dogs to inappropriate places. ETA: my child is very well behaved and I would not…

lol, You don't have kids do you?

Hi Kelly! I'm Penny and I'm starting again too. I never did reach my goal but I am determined to this time. Friend request sent :smile:

Quote from Wedding Crashers?

I do what with my 4 yo son's shirts too. Ask if it is my shirt or his or daddy's and then put it on and it's too big or small. Then he puts on mine or daddy's shirt. He think's it hilarious.

She picked up her little girl's clothes and thought "Hey, I bet I can fit into these" took a silly pic and posted on her instagram. This is not news, not a cry for help, not a ploy to sell product, It's called LIFE. Something that she did for no other reason than she wanted to and she can. No need to be judgmental and find…

I'm partial to FL since I live here too. Make new friends and be happy to live where the only shoes you need are flip flops :-)

False! I eat lots of eggs and I'm way down the alphabet from A cups. Also, I'm sad to learn men love A cups. Guess I need to stop eating eggs :sad:

I'm looking for a few friends to try to keep me straight too, please add me :-)
