totally needed to read this post this morning. thank you thank you.

Massachusetts! i've lived here my whole life :)

i'm scared to stop WW. been doing that since May 2011 and this site since like June 2011. didn't do this as much until after january. i only do WW online. went to one meeting and honestly, i didn't really hear anything i didn't already know. and i don't really need any stickers, thanks though. this is my second time doing…

my belts, which i thought fit fine before, are too big now. and i like actually *need* them for what they are made for, rather than an accessory. who knew they had an actual purpose!

born in springfield, ma. and raised in westfield, ma hooray for western mass :) [i live about 15 minutes from CT.]

hummus! i use that instead of miracle whip sometimes.

i joined WW for the second time last may-ish [could no longer afford it the first time, can't remember what my weight was at the start/end of that attempt] and joined MFP last june. was sticking more to WW than here up until sometime early this year when i started to really fall in love with this site. i am not yet ready…

YES! great cover! love it.

atreyu - you give love a bad name. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Szjv8DjD1rE

i don't have a spouse but my parents and i say 'love ya bye' every time one of us leaves the house. and 'love ya goodnight' each night lol. i have to. you never know what could happen. i know this too well. even if i am in a bad mood or if i've gotten in an argument with one of them, i can't go/let them go without saying…

Western MA !

...yeah, i'm definitely not a man... but it's my favorite thing to watch friday or saturday nights. especially if there's nothing else on.

ohh doing the same thing i do every friday night..watching some Lockup before going to sleep.

i love my kale chips. toss them with olive oil, then i cover them with a pretty good amount of cayenne pepper and i also add some garlic salt. i only bake at 350 though, for 10-12 minutes. i could eat them every day. the only thing i do not enjoy is the smell of them cooking. burn a candle or open a window haha!

i totally feel this way. there are a couple pictures of myself from 'before' where i can see a difference kinda..but when i look in the mirror, i look like the same old me. it's kind of depressing. and the only people who comment on my weight loss are my family and that doesn't count haha! maybe when i lose 20something…

i absolutely love my elliptical..now. i definitely understand what you mean..i felt so weird on it at first! it took some time but i can't imagine life without it now :) good luck and enjoy!

this is fantastic. i feel your pain. doritos were my absolute favorite. the baked ones just don't do it for me.

massachusetts!! hello, hello! :drinker:

you look great! nice work :)

you look fantastic! great work :) :flowerforyou: definitely inspiring for me. i'm 5'2ish and currently at 144 and my goal is about your weight now.

i feel awkward sharing this but after reading most of your stories i feel like this fits.. not advice but comment made to me by an aide.. i was burned in a fire many years ago and after six and a half months in hospitals, i was finally able to go home. i needed a nurse and a home health care aide to help out with wound…

*shrugs* idk. i was looking around and saw this. figured i'd say hello.

not from Salem but hello, hello! i'm near Springfield.

you look incredible! that is so inspiring. congratulations and best of luck with your surgery!

i'm looking to increase my protein, too. i'm going to have to check back here :)

saw that The Great Gatsby was mentioned a couple times...one of my favorites. if we are talking about the stuff we read in high school, i loved and want to re-read and suggest: The Sun Also Rises by Hemingway The Mysterious Stranger by Twain and Long Day's Journey into Night by Eugene O'Neill.

i am a huge fan of the Alex Cross series by James Patterson. also, pretty much anything by Jodi Picoult. [Nineteen Minutes is a top fave.] the glass castle by jeannette walls. chelsea cain's gretchen lowell series - *loved these*...Evil at Heart, Heartsick, Sweetheart..maybe not the correct order. the Millennium trilogy.…

i have wasted so much time reading the message boards. it's ridiculous. but some of the posts are so amusing.

it's gloomy and rainy and i just want to jump back in bed :( buttttt since i took yesterday off, i will be going to the gym a little later on. and good morning, to you!
