  • I'm am an Eastsider, live in Bellevue and work in Redmond. Would rather be in Seattle though, I will move back when the time is right. Anyone from here can add me as a friend, I give honest advice and comments.
  • I think this site works best without thinking of diets. I believe it's better to to make changes in habits and life style that you are going to keep up for the rest of your life. Diets suggest an end, changing habits is forever. Add me to your friends if you like. Where all going in the same direction.

  • I think part of the problem is that in general our societies have established new normal's for what is considered an acceptable weight. This now means (I will use myself as an example); I am 5'7", normal build, at the beginning of this year I maxed out at 202lbs. I am now at 173lbs and still have a gut, and some excess…
  • Add me if you like. I did the whole divorce, feel depressed, eat to much and not give a crap about yourself and am working on making all the right changes. You just need time to find all the good stuff again.
  • You've had one hell of a great journey. Now it's the start of the rest of your life, you look so much more confident of yourself it is truly unbelievable what you can do by just putting your mind to a task. Thank you for being my friend. Go go Wonder Woman
  • My opinion would be, get rid of the shakes, eat a proper healthy plate full of food, lots of veggies, protein and carbs etc. Something your body can actually digest. Also if you goal is to lose all the weight as quickly as possible you may just as easily regain it when you have reached that point. Consider this whole…

  • I live on my own and have no one to distract me from wanting to eat for the sake of it sometimes. What I did was to eat every meal at home at the diner table. This mean everything, main meals, breakfast lunch and diner. Snacks bad snacks to good snacks. Not only do I sit at the table but everything I eat I use a knife and…
  • I'd say your moving into the super hot sexy stage of life. I will be 44 in November and by the time I get there I will have reached my goal, and be doing pretty sweet myself. Keep rocking your 40'ers..... Remember youth, good looks and confidence are wasted on the youthful.
  • That's is definitely something to be proud of. You look absolutely fabulous and radiant. I think your giant smile says it all.......... Very well done.
  • I agree, I would definitely let you cut in line before me so that I could admire you for a while longer. Its great also that you think of it as a compliment. Fantastic.....
  • cardikitten - very sensual, meaningful and a good listener.
  • Ask, 1. How serious you want to he about this 2. Are you changing your life or just losing weight 3. What was your starting weight and were are you now Throw the scales out, don't use them. Or force yourself to weight in only once a week, Saturday mornings I find give an honest answer. If you are serious and your friends…
  • The box you speak of is purely an abstraction, its not real and something people have created so that everyone try's to fit into it. I think its better to create your own box, one that fits you. Don't change yourself to comply with the requirements of everyone else. They should change their view, squint a little so that…
  • You can make two choices, live your life to the fullest, be healthy and active. Get out do stuff have the energy to get it done, feel good about yourself, feel good about other people. Or, you can lounge in front to the TV, eat crap, don't do anything and waste your life away not really doing anything. The choice is…
  • Jimi Hendrix's cover of 'All Along the Watch Tower' by Bob Dylan. Could be the best cover of all time......
  • Profile pic, you at smoking hot...
  • Don't be a frumpy mom, be a great one, have fun with it.....
  • If you are going to stay on the path add me to you friends. Welcome back.
  • Seattle here, new friends are good. Add me to your list.....
  • The answer is simple. Chose not to be sick and tired, the journey a bit harder. I will make you accountable, and like wise.
  • Luis, it's all about hard work, sticking to your plan, making good choices when a lot of people around you make bad ones. For the difference is thinking about getting healthy, not about how much I can lose. I know if I get healthy then the weight is going to drop off as well. Add me, I'll kick your *kitten* if you stray to…

  • I hear what you are saying. Been using this site for two months and mentally what a big difference. Add me to your friends list, very one can. I try to say something positive as much as I can. Good luck implies chance in our success, so instead work hard at it and stay true to yourself.
  • **** i **** even if you put sugar on it. Whether its cheaper or not, eating crap like McDonalds, Wendys, Burger King, Taco Bell and all the other fast food places. Your still just filling up on crap. Save a few dollars now but pay for it later in life. Eating good food that is tasty, is investing in yourself and your…
  • what a difference, I bet you feel like a completely different person as well. Looking good.
  • I play classical guitar. Intermediate at present. Played and studied many years ago, but had a break of about 12yrs. Started playing again early this year and like most thing wondering how I moved away from playing. Also trying to teach myself how to play Jazz, maybe join a local group for fun sometime.

  • Hi sand seeker. When I first started on MFP I was thinking about what I could eat to make better choices. I would get random thoughts about hot dogs, burgers, fries, cookies. It was hard at first to say no but now I have noticed that I don't crave them as much, when I do I have a taste once in a while. But in general I…
  • Hi , you didn't get any responses so I thought I would say hi. Sounds like you are doing this for all the right reasons, mainly yourself. Way to go. If you want to be friends please add me. Good luck.
