This sounds yummy. Thank you!

Thank you so much for sharing your story...this is wonderful.

Oh, they were laughing at you? BIG F*CKING DEAL. Why would someone even tell you that? The 'laughers' and the woman you told you about if clearly have ZERO going on in their lives that they would make YOU (someone they don't even know) a topic of conversation. Don't you dare even skip ONE class.....go, smile and…

My bad habits started only 3 years ago when I found myself in a stressful time in my life. I started drinking alcohol nightly which in turn revved up my appetite like crazy. Every morning I would wake up feeling sluggish and sick, then I wouldn't eat ALL day, come home at night, have a few drinks and eat literally…

Relationships are really tough. I think you should really focus on yourself, what you want, what will make YOU happy. Work toward being what you want to be physically. You're not unloveable, you just haven't met the right person for you yet. But he's out there. I know it doesn't feel this way now, but you're so so young…

I get this. Sometimes I'll feel like eating but then when I really think about it, there's no actual 'hunger' in my tummy. That's when I find something else to do to alleviate what is usually boredom.

I totally get this. I"m also 5'11" and was most comfortable in the 135-140 weight range (thus my goal weight below). Just because we're tall doesn't mean we are also large framed, we can be small framed just like short women can!

Yes! V difficult to find cute clothes when you're tall. Try Long Tall Sally or Boden (which carries most of their stuff in talls)

This is AWESOME. Period. Thanks.

Wow....u look fantastic! Great job....keep up the good work.

Ah, okay. Gotcha. I feel you on this. Tread carefully. I really like what 1brokegal44 had to say above.

I also have an 8 year old daughter. 8 year old's are growing like crazy and should never be focused on the calories that healthy foods contain. You don't want her to stop listening to her body when it tells her she's hungry or not hungry. Also, what's a 'healthier version' of PB&J???? I'd throw out the little debbies…

Great! Thanks for responding.

Did you cook the broccoli slaw like pasta in boiling water?

One suggestion that has helped me with portion sizes is buying individual portions of foods like the nuts that you mention. I buy Blue Diamond Almond 100 calorie packs and eat one per day. That way I'm getting the nutrition of the nuts but not overeating calories. I also concur with prelogging all your foods, that way you…

I can't speak for others but for me personally once I have two glasses of wine I crave (and eat) way over my calories for the day. It's not the alcohol calories it's all the ones that the alcohol drives me to eat.

Hey, thanks for this. Something I needed to hear.

Hi! Please count me in. I need some extra motivation. :)

Oh my! I can't imagine how you felt after eating all that first thing in the morning! Anyway, glad you're here, and congrats on the 9 pounds lost...great job.

Clothing sizing is so arbitrary and completely varies from brand to brand. Not only that, vanity sizing has increased (I'm guessing you were born in 1973, so that would make you 39 or so) since you were in your 20's. Just set a goal and see what size you're wearing when you get there.

I made this over the weekend and it was fantastic. Thank you!

OMG! I can only presume that she is absolutely perfect and flawless?? I think not. For one, her attitude sucks. You can do better. Throw this one back and find a woman who adores you AS YOU ARE.

Why not try taking motivation out of it? Make it more of an automatic thing that you do. I run 3 miles every day on my lunch break. When 12:00 rolls around, every day i just put on my running clothes and GO. I don't even give it a second thought. You could try planning for excercise first thing in the morning before events…

Im in MA too and this is an awesome (and totally non creepy, some people are so paranoid) post. THANK YOU!!
