That's so awesome! Thanks so much for sharing your story. You look great, and yes, adorable dogs and delicious-looking food. Good for you!
-
Wow, you all are ambitious! This time of year is hard with all the holiday parties, baking, and treats. My goal is to end 2015 and maintain my current weight. Like several of you, I'm wanting to get under 200 lbs, and that will be my goal for 2016.

I'm adding you too. By the way, there is an LGBT message board you may like to join.
-
My recommendation is to find something you enjoy! That might mean trying different classes to find something you like. I used to LOVE kickboxing and yoga classes. Lately I'm in a rut, mostly just walking and doing the elliptical at the gym. But classes always make me work harder since there is an instructor telling me what…

Hi, add me! I'm also in my "early late 30s" (ha!) and am always looking for more friends.
-
Congratulations on your milestones! That's fantastic! "You almost have a muscle!" ha ha. :) My wife and I have booked a trip to Disney World in January -- it's going to be a Christmas surprise for our kids. We've never gone, and I'm getting excited. I read online that the average visitor to DW walks 10 miles a day -- that…

Congratulations! I'm looking forward to onederland also.

hgtedo, I was working out several times a week at 5:00 am at the end of last year (when I rejoined MFP), and it was GREAT. I had so much energy all day and of course it felt good to get the workout out of the way. But for some reason, lately, I cannot get up so early! I set my alarm and it just does not happen. I do want…

Great job!!! Way to go! I love the expression on your face in the second photo -- you look happy and proud of yourself.
-
That's awesome! Congratulations to you. xo
-
Ha ha ha! You're really funny! The next photo will be an organic gluten-free light toast! :) Keep it up!
-
It sounds like you are super motivated! That's great. I've been on and off since last August, and I'm determined to be more consistent. Feel free to add me! I'm a 36 year old lesbian married to my wife of 13 years and we have two young boys (8 and 4). I am from New York but moved to St. Louis, Missouri almost a year ago…

Congratulations on your weight loss! It's July 1st, and I'm happy to be renewing my commitment to healthier living. Went to the gym for an hour-long cardio session this morning, I'm guzzling the water and am challenging myself to a week without diet soda.
-
You look great!
-
Good luck to you! I am in the 220's (started around 250) and I can't wait for one-derland. We'll get there!
-
Welcome! I just sent you a friend request. Congratulations on your weight loss so far, but how nice to have a pool next door you can use! In the summer, all I want to do is go to the pool. We did join our local community outdoor pool this summer, and we've been going almost every day, but most of my "swimming" is limited…

That is worth every calorie! :)

Did anyone watch the Tony's last night? I'm now obsessed with Fun Home. I was a big fan of Alison Bechdel's D--- (synonym for lesbian; MFP doesn't allow this word) to Watch Out For comics but never read her memoir. But the musical looks so good; and I know one of the show's writers, Lisa Kron kind of (well, I met her once…

That is awesome! Way to go!

Hi Donna! I'm in St. Louis (moved here less than a year ago; from New York). Add me if you'd like. I've lost 28 pounds since moving to STL by eating less and moving more. I'm hoping to lose another 28 pounds at least but my weight loss has stalled recently.
-
Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! Add me too. I'm also 36, married to my wife and we've got 2 kids. It's funny -- I'm attending a wedding in 3 weeks and I'm trying to lose a few pounds by then to fit into a new dress.
-
Happy Birthday!
-
I lived in NY for 12 years (UWS then Westchester) but moved last year to the Midwest (St Louis).
-
Oh wow, that sounds really tough. At least it's only 5 weeks long -- do you get a break then, or will you be taking another class? Don't be too hard on yourself. It sounds like you've got a lot to handle.

I had a great evening yesterday: won free concert tickets off the radio (New Kids on the Block, with Nelly and TLC! I'll be rocking it old school next weekend!!) and then went to the Y with my wife and kids. They went swimming while I hit the elliptical. shiftynj, that is awesome! I can't imagine running 3 miles without…
-
I like your "one class at a time" comparison. That's a really good way to think about it!
-
Well, I had a great visit from my dad and sister (their first time to St. Louis). We had so much fun but ate mostly restaurant meals and I didn't even try to log. My weight is up over 10 pounds this morning! I know a lot of that is water weight and will go away but still, it's scary how fast the numbers can go up. My…

I agree with Stormfront that refusing to go to counseling is a red flag. I understand being wary or reluctant, but I'd bet it would help a lot. I will also tell you that even without identifying as aesexual, it is very common for one partner to be more physical/sexual than the other person. And it's totally frustrating…

Gloria, I just sent you a friend request. I am back after a 3-day MFP hiatus. I want to get a few healthy days in this week before my dad and sister come for a visit -- I know we'll be doing a lot of restaurant meals and probably drinking more wine/beer than usual. NSV: I went shopping yesterday for some new summer clothes…
