It looks so good. That poor roof, you can tell it needed to be redone. We did ours last summer. This is the year of the bathroom renos.

Yeah I'm not touching wiring with a ten foot pole. I'll change out an old circuit box, or put in a lighting fixture but that's the end of it.

This looks so good and it's so informative. We will have to redo our basement flooring, for some reason one of the past owners raised the flooring an extra 2.5 inches off the ground and placed filler underneath it. I'm a little concerned that means there are foundational issues but if there are, then I guess we'll do that…

Oh yeah that is tight. I love your PEX install, we've had so many plumbing renos over the years that our house is probably at least a solid 1/3 to 1/2 Pex and it looks so clean. Was the framing a bit of a curse job due to the warp? or just a tight spot to shimmy it in?

I love the hair.

Great eyes!

I did 7 trials of IVF with one success. Each trial with the hormones, the injections and required bed rest/minimal activity, resulted in a gain. It didn't matter how much I would eat or not eat. I still gained thanks to the hormones. The lack of activity required also didn't help much. I wouldn't call it a mistake but I…

Thank you. That's a very respectful thing to do.

Hi. My start weight was 375 and I've lost over 150 lbs, however in the past two years I've steadily and slowly put on 45 lbs due to IVF drugs otherwise I'm maintaining the loss. I've now lost 25 of that weight and I'm almost back to my lowest weight point. However I want to get down to 170 at which point I can do a couple…

I'm just here for the nudes.

I eat when I want and I don't eat when I don't want. I don't eat anything for the sake of eating it, I just eat when I'm hungry. I probably drink a little too much, but frankly I tend to maintain on these trips so I can't be drinking too over my TDEE. I don't track...but then again, we swim, we snorkel, we do stuff, we…

*swoons* taunto is king, trust taunto to know how to speghetti like no other.

:'( I miss day drinking.

I am currently pregnant and I understand your feelings. Part of this question is entirely dependent upon your current weight profile. For example, I was still overweight (but not obese) when I got pregnant, but because I was still overweight, my doctor recommended a small scale of gain. So I'm on target to put on 12 - 15…

Well.....now that the *kitten* has come.... sorry mods...i mean "arrived" Carry on.

You definitely do not need to be "eating for two" but you should not be concerned with losing while pregnant. ANY time you create a deficit in your nutritional intake so that you could "lose weight" you are taking away nutrients from the baby. It is a PART of you and gets all of its food from everything you eat, and if you…

Because she's having irrational feelings that as she states, have NO merit on the truth of his behaviour or actions AND she's out of a 23 year VERY ABUSIVE relationship as she states. I didn't say it was always the answer, but in this case with what looks like behaviours of her past relationship potentially affecting her…

23 years in an abusive relationship and you come to the internet on how to handle your new relationship and feelings? You should be in therapy, you seem to recognize that your feelings are irrational (which is not saying they are invalid, just irrational) and not a reflection of his behaviour. You are in therapy right?

I married mine.

I love you my homer, you've done amazing work. Keep at it. I know you will.

This. I think the hardest part we are having with this, is that you seem to think that building 2 lbs a week will be mostly muscle. It won't, muscle doesn't build that fast, you will build muscle, if you work hard enough within the time frame, but we are curious as to why you think putting 2 lbs will greatly affect the…

I just wanted to say congratulations on your remission. It's a big battle and you've done some good work.

I couldn't care about his results. I'm focused on mine. That's like peeping over your hedges to watch how your neighbours mow their lawn and then getting frustrated with how yours looks after you've mowed it. Completely useless and of no help whatsoever.

The first rule of fight club...... way to ruin for everyone else

I would have the goat cheese and walnut salad, then I would either have the pollo Agrodulce or the Fusilli Lunghi. I would finish it off with a tiramisu. I would also have two glasses of red during supper. More than likely a Malbec but I would take a Shiraz too. AND, I would have a martini with my appetizer.

I think if you need to ask a bunch of internet strangers if you need to see a shrink.... well you already have your answer.

no please don't. it's the real you.
