You're good people :drinker:

"She told me she recently got a DUI so I have to drive. Guess I don't need an excuse anymore to go back to her place."

I go through this all the time when I see myself in photos or as you say in the mirror at the gym. I wish I had an answer for you, except to say that I doubt you are giving yourself enough credit for what the mirror shows you today compared to what it did a year ago.

I was going to put my own suggestion but this one makes me want to put my head in the oven. Which sucks since it's electric.

As one of your relatively new friends on MFP, can I just say I think you're crazy! You look fantastic. Screw the scale. If I understand what you're lamenting, it's that you feel you are losing in your waist but not other places and this somehow looks bad? Nope, not seeing that. Your body clearly transforms in those pics…

I brush my teeth, then take a brillo pad to my tongue to remove the wool sweater that represents the previously nights over-indulgence.

In all honesty, I see way more drama here on MFP than I do on Facebook.

Happy May Lushes! Went to a "beer v. wine dinner" last night at the pub on my block... 5 courses each paired with a wine and a beer. Winner: wine. Losers: beer, my liver, my immense hangover.

Rollin'.... rollin'.... rollin'...... oh my liver's swollen.....

All I can say is WOW!

Da Hawks! Good game last night, even if we lost.... Brodeur was freaking unconscious.

I'll actually miss her constant referrals to her own toxic gas.

Great job!

If I burn calories eating ice cream standing up, should I eat those exercise calories back?

Super Bowl = bad decisions

This.

I really hate to hear stories like this, but I can understand your frustration.

Porn, same as always

Sorry for your loss :frown:

Visiting the in-laws is just as good of an excuse to drink as nearly getting killed by a truck. I decided.

Last night.... SO LUSHY!

Thanks for the kind words ladies. Regardless of what happened yesterday, the earlier part of this week proved to me once again that weight loss is definitely possible if I wouldn't be such a raging alcoholic! P.S. I may change my username to Papa Lush. Is that like Papa Smurf? Should everyone on here have a name ending in…

First... Papa Lush? I LOVE IT! I was doing great this week. Didn't drink at all M-W and worked out, finally saw some scale movement. Then yesterday on my way to a meeting I got into a car accident. Thankfully, I am ok physically. My car - not so much, which has to be expected since a Nissan is no match for a tanker truck.…

Hello again Lushes! Going to give it an honest go this week not to drink until Friday, so you may once again see me hanging around the group (with the shakes, probably)

Thanks for thinking to invite me. I went to a six course wine dinner last night. Yeah, not my proudest MFP moment but a Lushes triumph to be sure!

Bump

Hello again Lushes! Maybe I will spend more time with you this month. I agree, the holidays are brutal when it comes to not only food but alcohol!

Yes you CAN do this! I'll tell you what people have told me when I have expressed frustration over being stuck at the same weight, gaining and losing... if you've lost ten and are stuck at least you haven't gained it back ! You're better than where you were at the start, just take it as it comes.
