can't drive without getting lost!

Well, this week I don't show any loss but I think its because of water weight gain (I'm close to that time). I usually gain 3 lbs during those "special days" about a week prior. So it'll get worse before it gets better. Also, it hasn't been a week but I wanted to be sure not to be dropped off the list :) So here are the…

Marta: my dad named me after a song Laurs: I type too fast and the s was supposed to be an A --- Laura; which was my grandmother's name.

great response You can't loose your humanity just because you have lost weight.

I've heard that lots of people have night eating issues (pm binges). I used to not even think about food during the day and then after dinner, I didn't stop eating. Here are some of the things that have worked for me: *Eat balanced and healthy breakfast and lunch* Its amazing that even though I may not be hungry training…

yogurt sauer kraut mustard pickles lemons garlic onion tomatoes cheese bread dry non-fat milk eggs fresh and frozen vegetables Miracle Noodles Apart from these basics I change my meats around all the time. I can have fish, duck, steak, ground beef, pork, anything really but my permanents are the ones above.

:smile: Shoes, rings, and bracelets are loose :smile: Can shop in the regular size section :smile: Can tuck my shirt in :

I added the changes I would do above in caps.

I love it!

When I started I wanted to do 1200 and it went well for me. I learned how to choose nutrition dense foods and meet my caloric goal. Then when I had lost over 50 lbs. I decided to slow it down for the sake of health. I used the MFP calculator to determine my calories. I was surprised to see that it calculated 1280 so I…

Congratulations. I remember when I left the Obese category as well, it was actually more inspiring then when I entered OneDerland.

Great idea! CW: 172 GW: 166 :love:

Hi, I'm a teacher too! You have done so well, congratulations. Now you know you CAN be fabulous at fifty. Please add me and we'll support each other.

This may not be the answer you are expecting. What I have found is that women are the harshest judges in terms of weight requirements for their friends. Next to that then there are men that specifically will not date anything other than arm candy. These are few and not representative of most men. Most men find women…

You love your doggie.

Wonderful!!!!

I had no idea mine was set to private. Thanks for the post. I just changed mine.

You can order them online http://www.miraclenoodle.com/default.aspx You can also see videos and recipes there as well.

I absolutely love them. You have to rinse them well. Then you have to boil them for a couple of minutes. All the fishy smell will be gone if you do this. They are very versatile in cooking. They are also very filling. They are not something you would eat alone since they really have no taste. You have to blend them with…

I agree, that's just about what I am allotted and I am very very happy with my 62 lbs that I have lost. The average weight loss for me is 1lb per week. I don't want to be that lean anyway. I like a little fat to soften the muscles. Some people want to look like Madonna and some like Marilyn. I prefer the Marilyn look.

That was a great explanation. I had never heard the term skinny fat before. I like the Marilyn look more than the Madonna look. So now I know that this takes the right combination of muscle AND fat. :)

I don't like any of those looks, one is too muscular and the other is too skinny. lol

MissKortney, jejejeje, you are sooooooo right!

I started planning out my Christmas meal a week in advance, lol. I wanted to make sure I didn't feel deprived but didn't go over my allotted amount. I also decided to have a late night so that I would get up late and had breakfast at lunch time. Then to make sure I stuck with the "plan" I printed out the Christmas meal…

What a great idea!

Hola y un carinoso saludo para usted! Que rico que ha tomado esta decision de tomar la vida por las riendas luego de haber logrado un numero de primaveras que le ayudaran a cumplir con sus metas. Su sabiduria no le va a enganar. Su motivasion sera su salud y la cantidad de personas que la quieren y quieren seguir…

I just thought of an analogy that might help. Some women wish they could look like Madonna and some wish they looked like Marilyn Monroe. I happen to prefer the Marilyn Monroe look. Some people today might call her a fat "skinny fat".

There is a difference between aesthetics and health. Working in the healthcare profession I am sure you know that and I won't second guess your goals. The degree of muscles of lack of muscles you have can be an issue if it hinders your health. That being said, there is room for choice if it doesn't hinder your health. It…

I actually wanted to try that from seeing those travel food shows, but somehow your "real" pictures made me change my mind. pooooor little chickieeeee.

lol, soooo many, do I have to choose one? 1. waiting for equipment 2. after waiting having to clean up sweet 3. the loud music 4. membership fees 5. too many people 6. membership fees, ooops I already mentioned that!
