Thanks! I am a Marvel geek.

lol It sounds like it could be true.

I GET THIS SOOOOOOOO often!!!! lol Thanks, I feel younger as well!

It was a commitment. I was so ready to do this. What's next is to get my arms under control. I got the bat wings. lol So I added wrist weights to my work out. I am hoping in the next 6 months or so it will be a little better. I feel like I could take on the world!!! Thank you!

When I started I dropped my calories down to about 1100 a day. and I beefed up my proteins. I did not exercise at all the first 30 lbs. In because I was eating a lot less calories I would be more tired. I also have a job where I am not running around. I sit at a desk most of the time. So I guess it would all be on what you…

I am 5'3!!! And people said the same thing to me!!!! That is funny I think when I got down to 170 people started telling me I need to stop I am losing to much weight. And I would say well I am still considered obese. Diabetes runs in my family and I don't want to get that and I already have High blood pressure so I am…

No, I don't think that is what it is. I just think it is because I feel like I am constantly defending myself. Not that I have to by any means but feel that I need to. I don't know. I have been in maintenance mode for a couple of months so it is still new to be at this weight and maybe in a year or so people will be over…

Yes, Yes, Yes on all levels!

Seriously!!!! Girl, I hear every word you are saying. Another one I really hate is when people ask me what my husband thinks. My response is, Well my husband was watching me kill myself slowly the other way so I "think" he is happy I am going to be around longer. lol ugh. When people say you make it effortless (because I…

Ugh... I hear that. And you are correct it is usually the people who have the weight issues that say it. At the very beginning of my journey it killed me to resist but now it is no big thing and because I am at my goal weight I can nibble on something and not feel guilty or stressed. lol My mantra through this whole…

lol That is what I usually do, Complement them on something. I also work in the healthcare field and one would think people would be more sensitive on the subject. But alas they are not and sometimes quite mean about it.

It makes me frustrated because it feels like they want me to fail. Trust me when I say they are not concerned. These are the same people who when I was heavier would say, do you really need to eat that. and are now the people who joke and e.g. when I eat something and then go to the bathroom say ohhhh there she goes to…

I am a "B". I started out with just changing my diet then I moved on to exercising, And I started exercising slowly I didn't come out of the gate with a bang. I tried "a" many, many times but always failed. I figure it is like this. When you diet you lose calories, your body needs time to adjust to this.

When I was losing I never worried about anything but my calories and I did it just by counting calories and nothing else. Good Luck!

My best advise would be to meal plan for the week and stick to it. Like when you go to work take what you are going to eat and only eat that but make sure you eat everything you bring. I have never been a picky eater so I am not sure if this will help. Good luck!

This was the hardest part for me to overcome. For the first couple of weeks. (and I am not even being sarcastic) I would cry at the commercials on TV. The only way I could make sure I stayed on track was to not go to fast food restaurants. I went to one 3 times the whole time I was getting to my goal weight. and on those…

Ha,Ha. Now that I lost the weight I have been told a couple of times. "my I didn't realized how short you were." You got this!

The answer is Orange because my cat likes to dance.

It's almost as strange as a couple sitting on the same side of the table at a restaurant.

This has made my day! Thank you!

I love Chocolate also I love Eggs and bacon but not sweet enough. :ohwell:

Aaron Rodgers.... just sayin.. Bears suck.

I am going to watch it... by myself... in a dark room... with a glass of wine... MEOW.

I don't think I am a nerd but I think I am a geek. I also get called Dork a lot. :ohwell:

Cinnamon

^^^^^^ OMG lol

LOL yes I have washed my hands. But not before I typed this. :huh: It really isn't an issue now but, because I know me and I think it might become an issue. Like when I have that last 10 lbs to lose. or god for bid the last 1 or whatever. I am sure I am making a mountain out of a mole hill but Hey, It's what I do best. If…

I am just hoping it stays that way. YIKES!

Thank you so much for the info. I live in Wisconsin so another issue I will eventually have (hopefully not to soon This past winter was LOOOONNNGGGG) is cold and that also gives me problems. Any Suggestions for that?

Bump! For sure!
