  • I couldn't figure out how to embed a picture so I changed my profile pic. My favorite celeb is Hugh Jackman. This is us backstage at The View where he kissed me on national TV on Nov. 22. That was a dream come true!
  • I live in Augusta. And I have a sister that lives in Cedartown. Small world!
  • Augusta here!
  • Weight Watcher's candy bar ice cream. It looks and tastes like a frozen snickers and is delish! 140 calories.
  • Hugh Jackman-my biggest claim to fame is to have met him several times on Broadway. Once, he pulled me out of the audience during a show and made me dance. Most recently, on 11/22/11's episode of THE VIEW, he kissed me on National TV. That was really cool. Ashley Judd Fran Dresher (The Nanny) Maura Tierney (ER) Eric…
  • Lose weight = loose skin for me.
  • He is nice looking and very friendly with his fans as well. I got to meet him and shake his hand in NYC when he was on Broadway with Hugh Jackman (the man I think is the hottest anywhere around).
  • I set a Virgo challenge goal of 4 or 5 pounds by my birthday, Aug. 23. I am half way there! That leaves 9 days to lose 2 more pounds. Time to step it up!
  • I would like to lose 4 or 5 more pounds by my birthday which is the 23rd. That would be a total of 60 lbs since May 2 and HALF WAY TO MY GOAL. Think I can do it?
  • Way to go! I love it when people post before and after pics. You know, you werne't even smiling in the first one. You do look much happier in the last one. Keep up the great work! You look great! I am sure you have lots more energy to keep up with that son of yours too. Good going!
  • Wow! Glad to see so many educators on here. I actually go back for Preplanning TOMORROW!! All in all, I am excited about it-especially when it comes to eating and exercising. My advice would be1) skip school lunch. No one ever got skinny by eating that.2)SKip the lounge. Bring your own lunch and snacks. 3) try to arrange…
  • Welcome to MFP! I see you log your food in by an app on your phone. I was just phone shopping online because I have gotten addicted to MFP this summer and now it is time to go back to work (school) tomorrow. I have to be able to get on MFP.
  • That's hilarious. I had 6 inches cut from my hair yesterday AFTER I went to the Dr. and had to get on the scale. Then I thought, I planned that horribly wrong. lol
  • What is groupon? I assume it is like I a coupon. But, I have never heard of it.
  • For all those with questions on how I lost 50 lbs so fast, I had a Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy on May 2. This is a surgery similar to the gastric bypass. I have adjusted my profile so that hopefully it is clear to everyone that I am under a bariatric Dr. care. I have just had bloodwork to make sure I am getting all the…
  • SOda? WHat's that? I haven't had anything but water or 1% milk in 3 months. haha Seriously, no liquid calories. I had been on a plateau and I cut my carbs in half this week and finally a couple of pounds disappeared. How many carbs are you getting in a day?
  • Way to go! Keep up the good work. YOu look great! I can tell especially in the face!
  • Don't know who my celeb would be that I would want to look like, but THANKS to the couple of pics posted of my favorite Hugh Jackman. I once lost 50 pounds just to go see him. Long story. Now, after meeting him several times, I am a true fan. He is as nice in person as he is hot!!!
  • I don't tolerate the protein you mix with milk. I love sweets and fruits so I tried Nectar Protein (YOu have to order online). I went through a container of Fuzzy Navel and now I am working on Twisted CHerry. You mix with water and it tastes great!
  • Give yourself a break! You have lost a lot! All you probably need is a little toning. Never underestimate how much you have already done! That is amazing! We are not all here on MFP because losing weight is easy. Keep up the good work. It will all come with time!
  • This is a great place to find friends. Add me if you like.
  • Force yourself to write it down. When you look back on it later, you will be glad you did. Every little thing you put in your mouth adds up. I just got back from vacation last week too so I can relate.
  • Welcome to MFP! I think you will find a lot of new friends here. I have found that logging in each day, journaling your food, exchanging messages of support can only aid in the whole process. So, I would love to be your friend.
  • I hate that word too. I know I have to make myself say "Lifestyle change" on a daily basis. We can't always make the world understand. But, then again...it's not about them. It is about getting ourselves healthy! Please add me as a friend if you like! One can never have too many friends on the same journey!
  • I started out with 100+ lbs to lose. This site makes it easier with friends to hold you accountable. Feel free to add me!
  • What a great feeling! GOod for you!! Keep up the good work! 12 is just around the corner.
  • I had the sleeve done on May 2 of this year. It has been a life saver for me. I was on the fast track to diabetes. My family history is about as bad as it gets with heart disease and high blood pressure and stroke. I had to do something and I was tired of the roller coaster of dieting. Surgery was not the cure all and…
  • I am going to be away from home from 7am tomorrow to SUnday. Thank goodness for my laptop. I have to log in that food diary. I am taking healthy snacks with me. Ya'll keep me honest! I want my profile to say one day that I have logged on 365 days in a row!
  • WElcome back! I will be here for awhile...who knows? Maybe forever! I think it is addicting. But, it does force me to write down my food for the day which makes me more accountable. But, you know! I am preaching to the choir!
  • Way to go. I have a long way to go. I am sure I will be sitting here this time next year-there will just be a lot less of me. I am in it for the long haul! I would love to be friends!
