I am in Kent City. Just a bit north of Grand Rapids

79 Ford Mustang

Stay tat free!!

I always have, but it is getting all bent out of shape. I now try to remember to remove it before lifting.

We have been together for 23 years, maried 21. Not always easy, but well worth it.

I find them tasteless and unattractive.

Engaged when I was 22 and she was 19. We were together 8 months before getting engaged. Married when I was 24 and she was 20.. We have been married for a little over 20 years.

I understand why you are frustrated, but you cannot make her change. She has to come to a point where she is determined to change. Being a good example is the best you can do. I hope she comes around before this kills her, but ultimately it is up to her .

Absolutely not! There are many horrible people making kids and then harming them

Not a crazy question. I have the same situation. I dropped 42 pounds in 7 months, and then weighed 198. For the last 6 months I have gained and lost a few here and there, but keep returning to 198. Would love to drop another 15, but 198 seems to be what my body wants.

I just used my real name, followed by my county issued paramedic license number

Running is the worst!

Yes, I notice them. They are not attractive but not a turnoff. Just a fact of life.

I have been on this weight loss journey for a full year now and have had FF 3 times. Each time because I was traveling and did not have other options. It was not refreshing and felt like a stone in my gut afterward. I do not miss it at all.

Dark Chocolate

Flavored Coffee

As a Chrstian it is encouraging to have the support of other believers on this journey. Feel free to add me. I am always looking for other Christians here on MFP.

Skip the booze and eat responsibly

I will workout at 5am and when I am done, I head to work, On my way I will stop at Subway and get a footlong turkey on wheat. I will have half for breakfast and half for lunch.

I started and 240 and when I hit 200 it was a great feeling. Good luck to you!

240 was the number that made me take action

For the first year of my weight loss journey I weighed my self daily. The rapid changes the first year were an encouragemnt daily. Now I do it weekly. As progress has slowed day to day is depressing. Don't wory about what others say, there is no right or wrong to this. What ever system works best to motovate you is right.

Feel free to add my I am always looking for encouragment and to encourage others. Also I live just north of you in Kent City!!

Getting out of bed 2 hours earlier (4am) to go to the gym before work

Feel free to add me. I am always looking for encouragement and to encourage others on this weight loss journey.
