Isn't it GREAT when a "tight" shirt "fits" better!?! I see the progress in your pictures! Great job!

Hi, you can friend me!

Get your bloodwork done again. My mom had a kidney/pancreas transplant 7 years ago. Unfortunately, it's "normal" to have a bad test (high levels). She gets a phonecall from the doc to have the bloodwork done again - and she's fine.

"Not a huge victory"?? Are you kidding!?! Your measurements are going DOWN! That's great!!!!! Keep it up!

Crystal Light! I used to get infections, too (not enough water). Someone suggested taking cranberry pills... It seemed to help. Good luck!

Tuna (Sweet & Spicy flavor is my favorite), hard-boiled egg, lite mayo, a little chopped celery & onion = Great Tuna Salad!

Somewhere in there you mentioned a daughter. Put you and her FIRST. Stay away from the ex. He's an "ex" for a reason... Good luck!

OMG! Handi-snacks... I LOVE THEM! Glad I'm not alone! haha!

BBQ Chips and Dip -or- Cheddar and Sour Cream Chips! Can't even keep them in the house!

I feel the same way! You could've taken those words outta my mouth! I've got a long way to go - but I see the "old me" starting to show up!

Vacations tend to "make me forget" too! Friend me! We can help each other out!

Hi! I'm inspired by the 80+ loss/maintenance! Awesome! Friend me! I can use all the motivation I can get!

Hi! You're not the only one that gets side-tracked! I just asked a friend of mine - how many "restarts" do we get!?! Friend me - we can help each other!

I struggle with the same things. Somehow, the laundry, cleaning, etc. "win" over taking time for myself.... I just joined a Zumba class through the local community college. The fact that I had to pay for it (more expensive than the gym) and that it's a scheduled class time has helped me so far. It's only Week 2 of classes…

Saturday, October 8th - Zombie Fest in Downtown Pittsburgh!

Thanks for the advice! Glad to hear 'buy a size smaller' - I was waivering between the snug pair and the 'next size up'. Time for me to go shopping!

Ever try spaghetti squash in place of pasta? Boil the entire squash for about a half-hour. Let it cool. Cut it in half length-wise and "scoop" the inside out with a fork. (Get rid of the seeds.) It will look "string-y" like spaghetti noodles. Pour on some pasta sauce - Done! My 8-year-old even likes it!

Currently - I AM a meateater. BUT, I could go veggie one day - because of how the animals are treated. Anyone ever read 'Skinny *****'? The book is definitely pro-veggie. One specific chapter tells all about what happens in the slaughterhouse. I was in tears; the animal treatment is awful.

Morning, Kate! I'm Krysti. I've been on the site for a few months - just getting more active with the message boards now, though. Always looking for new motivation and new friends! Friend me!

I keep considering buying an HRM - haven't yet. I keep reading/good bad about them - so I'm on the fence a little... It's taken me a few months to lose 15 pounds - and I've only relied on the MFP calorie counts. Overall, I think I'm doing good if I'm up and MOVING - whether it's walking, exercising, or even cleaning the…

I'm always looking for motivation - and new friends! Friend me!

Morning! My hubby used to drink chocolate "Muscle Milk" (found at GNC) - no side effects that he complained of (gas, stomach pains, etc) - and it tasted good! No funny "vitamin" taste!

Good topic! Friend me! OK... Word Ninjas is GREAT! I, too, have avoided HS reunions (mine, not my hubby's). The "negative comments" that bother me most are probably from my mom... I know her intentions are good - but c'mon! I'll get the "up-down" look and comments about my BROTHER'S weight loss attempts... Hint, hint...…

I fluctuate daily. Personally, I'd rather see a pound or two DOWN (after a week) instead of .5 up... .5 down..... on a daily basis. It's all in what works for you!

Welcome! I've been on here for a few months - need to get serious again! I've been slackin'! Friend me! I'm here to give/get support!

Welcome! Friend me! I've been on the site for a few months - it's great! 13 pounds down and another 50ish to go!!! I need to get serious! Looking to give/get all the support I can!

I'm trying it for the first time - TONIGHT! I'll be keeping an eye on your responses - I'm curious what everyone says!

Try an Alaskan Roll - Salmon, Avacado (good fat), and cucumber - good stuff!

I tried Adipex-P (doctor prescribed) a while back. It was like a diet-in-a-bottle! Great Stuff!!! While taking it, I had energy - but not the jittery kind. My appetite was supressed; I had to force myself to eat! I lost 15 pounds in 6 weeks. As soon as my prescription was empty, the weight came right back on - but I wasn't…

Great Idea! I want to be a MILF!! hahaha! Starting Weight = 214.5 Week 1= Week 2= Week 3= Week 4= End Of Month Weight Feel free to Friend me! I can use all the help I can get! :happy:
