This. :) I have never had weight-loss surgery (and won't), but I'm pretty sure people who have had weight-loss surgery cook with the same cookware as those who haven't. Usually when buying wedding presents I look at the registry, but I don't buy off the registry. I look for things that are related to things on the…

I'm listening to my Yorkie squeaking her plush penguin as she sleeps. Inhale *squeak* exhale, repeat.

I agree with this. She didn't say slimmer people *could* handle jabs better...she said people *assume* this. I agree. I also know I have friends who love to be told they're thin....while other people hate that word and want to be called "fit"...others want zero to be said at all. You can't please everyone all the…

nevermind, just deleting my post. I guess I have a weird body shape. lol

Aww! What a beautiful bride and a beautiful journey you're on! Thank you for sharing your story and photos with us, and "pre-grats" on your wedding! Yours will be the wedding where guests will say years after, "Oh yeh, I remember that wedding; that stunning bride!" :flowerforyou:

I think everything should be eaten in moderation, even fruit. For me, it wasn't about what I was eating (I too used to eat a lot of fruit and a lot of greens)....it was more about how MUCH I was eating of them. I had to get out of the habit of eating to excess...whether it be fruit or pizza. Not everyone is me, I'm just…

I feel for y'all. I don't have that problem, and I'm not sure what I would do if I did. When I have heartburn I don't take an antacid, I drink water and it goes away...so basically it's the opposite.

Classy and beautiful! ...reminds me of Jackie. :') :flowerforyou:

Well...I'm supposed to weigh once a week (I chose Fridays). That being said, I step on that damn thing at least 4 times a day. Why? I have no idea...it's not like it's going to drop pounds in a couple hours. Well...once it did, but that's because there was a sock stuck underneath a corner of it and it threw it off.

This is a good idea...never thought of doing that.

This...yes this. I limited myself to only 2 cups of coffee (fixed up the way I like it) every week, and it made me *miserable*. I changed just a couple of days ago to drinking it every day, the way I *want* to drink it. It means I may not be able to squeeze in as many other snacks as before, and it may mean skipping a…

I think I already replied to this, but I forgot the one food item I cut out that I feel has made a huge difference; blocks of processed Velveeta cheese. I used to use that stuff like crazy...with rotel for dip, in my chili, etc. I still eat cheese...just "whole cheeses" now (and in moderation) instead of "cheese food", etc.

I buy Starlight Chocolate-Mint hard candies and have 2 per day. They're 20 cals each, but they do satisfy me as my "chocolate fix". Chocolate flavored coffee (not frappaccinos)..I mean like regular coffee beans with a hint of chocolate flavor) *Quality* dark chocolate with 70-80% cocoa is actually good for you (in…

I did go to the site you mentioned, clicked on "search recipe database" then "appetizers and dips". Are you referring to the "Vegan Nacho Cheese Sauce" recipe on there? It looks *really* yummy!! It looks *very* similar to something I used to snack on all the time (and I had to cut it completely because I like it too much).…

I've lost 50 lb with zero gym and virtually zero exercise (wall exercises, and very easy ones). That being said...I'm **bored** now. I have this constant energy bouncing around that I have NO idea what to do with. I tried exercise videos but I broke a lamp, tripped over the dog, and literally knocked over about 20…

I don't have to worry about this. My boobies have always been saucers instead of teacups, so when I lose all the weight I need to lose, I imagine they'll still be saucers (just the fine bone china tea-sized ones instead of the ones that fly off at random, abduct people and swallow them whole). I really appreciate all the…

Nevermind, if I leave what I typed here, someone will come along and list all the poisons that are in bananas. LOL (story of my forum life) I'm going to try this soon. I've wanted to since you posted it, but I'm waiting for my banana to ripen (I think it would taste terrible right now, simply because the banana hasn't…

I haven't lost very much weight yet, and I can't confirm an increase in brain function with any well-known, legitimate sources, but... ...what were we talking about again? :ohwell: The rest of your body increases in performance when you lose weight that you need to lose (generally speaking)...it stands to reason the brain…

I guess I fell for whatever you're talking about ( it sounded like a legitimate question to me). Maybe I need a nap :noway:

Did you try calling Remo's and asking them for some sort of measurement of the mozzerella? Since 1 ounce of solid cheese is *about* 1 inch square, and those appear to be close to half inch cubes (approximately, by visual anyway), and you ate three pieces of the 16" pizza, I would venture to *guess* about 6-8 ounces…

I wish all recipe sites were built like this one. How awesome. Thank you!

Why would we not care? Of course we care. Congrats to you, that is QUITE the achievement in a month's time; well done!

...the Fraggle Rock theme song :embarassed:

Thank you so much for all of your help, everyone! I did discuss the gym with my doctors (all of them except my reproductive endocrinologist and I don't think she'd have anything to add...I'm not going to lift weights with my lady bits). My docs pretty much told me that I need to do whatever it takes to get to a healthy BMI…

Chock fullllll of information...cornucopia of goodies; thank you very much and I will use all of this to my benefit. :) Does anyone know how many times a week I should go? I've heard it's not safe to go every day...but I don't see why that is. I plan on Sundays being my lazy days (just because it's Sunday)...but is there…

I think this is more about a woman wanting a thigh gap for *herself* because she likes the way it looks and/or feels...not because her man (or woman) wants a thigh gap on her. No wonder you had so many calls for holding, mister...it's not always about the "grabber", but the grabbee...ijs (this part is totally meant in a…

Well...you kind of just validated what I felt. Some (not all) people have been telling me that I should be losing all my fat before I even bother trying to do any strength training or lifting. But...I know myself better than anyone, and I know I **will** give up and quit if all I am doing is counting calories. I really…

That is a really good idea, thank you very much!
