Bailey and I have been friends for a year and a half now! I'm the reason she's doing it :) And Bailey - check the FB group - there's women in there that have MFP accounts too. I'm finding that my posting here has been slacking because I get the support there now.

Awesome!! Great accomplishment!! :)))

Awww... this is the sweetest thing I think I've ever seen on here!! So happy for you! :))

A can strainer works very well. It fits inside a can of tuna for you to squish it really hard to drain it well (I hate mushy tuna!) -- my tuna comes out very dry using this. The strainer also fits on top of a regular size can, if you want to drain something without using a big strainer. I've also wondered why they don't…

Thanks everyone!! These types of NSV's for me, trump the number on the scale, the inches lost... being able to buy new clothes.... that's more materialistic to me... this is the core of it... where the shame gets planted by "family" members, and they get lifted up while they push you down and the kids at school, find…

No, it doesn't mean you are doomed. There are specific exercises that can be done, or surgery. I looked at your pics, you have a different looking stomach than I do. Mine is on the upper part of my abdomen. I have also lost 100lbs, and have 2 children. I have 2 recent pics I took last week to show what my stomach looks…

Yes, you can. If you lay on your back, bend your knees... then slightly lift up your head, at that same time, take your fingers (1,2,3 etc, however many you may need) and push down right above your belly button. If you have it, you will feel the muscles grab onto your fingers like a clamp (so to speak). I have it, and I…

Love this!!

120.8 -- been having many issues.... one big one is myself! UGH :grumble: The other big issue is bathroom problems. Hence the weight gain. Sigh.... not giving up, but going forward dealing with things as they come up... :smile:

118.4 -- wrong direction.... consistently going up 1lb each week for the last 3.... I don't get it... I know it's not "real" gaining, but frustrating none the less... sigh...

Natural redhead here!! Completely covered in freckles, pale as a ghost, but luckily my rapid burning turns into a great tan! :bigsmile:

117.4

116.4

115.4!!!! :bigsmile: :bigsmile: YAY!! Reached my goal (close enough) :tongue: I may try for 110, but no biggie if I don't get there. But I have to say, I'm feeling better in my own skin at this weight. It's amazing what 5lbs does. :bigsmile:

117.8

I have a genetic disorder that I was just diagnosed with 2 years ago. Previously it was thought to be PCOS, but it's commonly misdiagnosed because symptoms are similar. I have a lot of the symptoms that have already been mentioned. With that being said, I do have a higher testosterone level because of it. It's still within…

119.0

117.8

Thanks so much for your variation! I'm going to make this in the next day, I'm obsessed with any and all things pumpkin!! YAY!! :bigsmile:

TVP - Textured Vegetable Protein. It's made from soy flour. It has next to nothing for flavor, therefore, you can adapt it to fit into any recipe that would otherwise call for meat (or not). Tacos, spaghetti sauce with "meat", sloppy joes, meatloaf, burgers etc... and I did find a recipe for turning it into oatmeal, but I…

119.4!!!

For me, it's hard to accept the extra skin that I have on my stomach. I just posted pics on my profile yesterday (for the first time! GASP!) I have very stretchy skin all over my body from my loss. My arms, thighs and butt all sag. My stomach is the worst and I have some sagging as well on my lower back. When I had done…

^^ This!! There's a cheesecake group on MFP - check it out and read the different variations! They are all great! :bigsmile:

Do you have any experience with women who have Diastasis Recti, and what transverse abdominal exercises to do to help close the gap?

I weigh everyday... and I weigh myself before I go to bed, and if I can hold it long enough, even before I pee in the morning lol... it fascinates me to see how the weight fluctuates so much within a few hours. I've lost 2.5lbs once just from peeing! :bigsmile: And yes, you probably really did pee THAT much! haha :tongue:

122.0 (stupid TOM!!) I was 119.4 yesterday! Couldn't it have just held off for 1 more day! :mad: lol

Wishing you the best! Prayers for you and your family!

I generally try to eat only between 3-9pm. That's what works best for my lifestyle. If this is what you are looking to try, you need to make sure that you are able to eat all your calories in a shorter time frame. If you can't do this, for whatever reason..,. then IF may not be for you. You can also check out the…

Mine too! And yes, it's great with eggs!!

I don't need this quiz to say yes or no. I, myself can admit that I definitely have a food addiction. However, with that being said... this is my result! Your score: 17 Possible Food Addiction. Based on your answers, you may meet the criteria for food addiction as defined by the Yale Food Addiction Scale.
