First, I say congratulations for signing up on MFP. Second, you only joined a month ago. Your body may still be trying to figure out what you're doing to it. Keep on tracking your calories and working out. Watch your sodium, cut your sugars, drink lots of water, and occasionally reward yourself. Once your metabolism and…

Love handles are certainly a curse. Fortunately, I am surrounded by people (my partner, in particular) who think I look great, despite my own personal perception of my lingering waistline innertube. Surround yourself with people who appreciate you for exactly who you are, and soon you will begin to see things as they do.

Terrific. Kudos to you and your bride. Never, ever, ever, ever go back to your old ways.

that's awesome!!

The important thing to remember is to NOT shift when you are muscling through the hill. Stop pedaling for a second or two when you shift, then pedal. That way you avoid the jerky shift, and your chain doesn't jump the sprocket.

High carb days: breakfast: protein shake ( we use the yoplait frozen smoothie mixes and add protein powder, almond milk and more fruit) snack: yogurt with fruit or a zone bar (I especially love the fudge graham flavor zone bar) lunch: turkey sandwich on Arnold or Pepperidge Farm sandwich thin, with popchips snack: fruit…

I went to the gym..... ALONE. Usually when my girlfriend bails, I bail right along with her. She was clearly not feeling well, so I left her on the couch, and off I went.

I'm so glad you posted this. What an inspiration you are to people you don't even know. Keep up the good work "dude".

Good job Sarge!

Incredible. Keep up the good fight.

Looking good! Keep up the good work!

Good job, dude. Keep it up.

I, too, am 5' 3 3/4"...Isn't it funny how we claim that's close enough to 5'4"... My highest weight was 170. I started out on MFP at 157, dropped down to 130, then back up to 142, now back down to 136. My goal is 125. I'm a former cop that left the stress of it all to attend massage therapy school. I figure with my career…

Your responses were awesome.

Unlike lillystargaze, I did not read through the first three pages. I only read page one, and quickly fast forwarded to page 12 to respond. I'll refrain from jumping high upon my soapbox. I just want to say that the gay rights fight closely parallels the civil rights movement of the 1950's, and eventually we will be able…

to reaolliemama : just answer the question and don't chastise others for their answers.

Caramel Quakes. 110 calories for 13 rice cakes.

I believe in science and history. I don't believe that anything can happen once, never to be repeated again (eg. the resurrection). I believe that when we die, we are done. I believe the idea of Heaven is something people cling to for comfort when they lose someone they love, or when they fear the end of their own life is…

Epic parental failure. This means the parent ... for 13 years... loaded her baby girl into the car and drove to Mickey D's and purchased McNuggets. The story I read also went on to say that the mother attempted to stop this behavior by starving her. It didn't say at what age the mother finally realized that the problem…

I'm with the wrestler. No salt, minimal water, and take a diuretic like Midol tonight.

^^^^ DITTO ^^^^

The Viet Nam Memorial is (to me) by far the most incredible site. It's right near the Lincoln Memorial, so you won't have to go out of your way to see it. At the other end of the mall, however, just past the capital on the left, is the National Law Enforcement Officer Memorial. Being a retired police officer, I think this…

Anything in a size 6 would be nice.

Wow. You really like her. LMAO.

Here's a better pic: [img]http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa438/mdmohrenne/No name/adele21-1.jpg[/img]

I'm with you... I like something to hold on to. I'd sooooo have Adele's baby! [img]http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa438/mdmohrenne/No name/Adele-1.jpg[/img]

Well yea, you've lost 46 pounds! I would hope they're ridiculous by your standards. Even if you can't wear proper fitting clothes proudly, I'm proud of your loss for you! When you're ready, you'll get the right size, so people won't have to go to badminton practice to see how much you've lost. :)

Go to My Home> Settings > Change Username. You can only change it one time, so make sure you're not angry when you select your new name.... LOL

Your post reminded me of a song. Check out "What Happens Tomorrow" by Melissa Etheridge.
