I just got into a virtually new pair of shoes I have had for a long time. My feet fit inside now!

You look like a different person! Good work.

Just found this group! Nice. I am an OLD (62) dirt rider. Currently riding a Suzuki DR650 Dual Sport. My days of Motocross, while not over, are much slower now. That quick take off that ends in a cloud of dust and picking my bike up is not as fun as it once was. (Laughing ruefully.). I am in Colorado just outside of…

Res ipsa loquitor....."the thing speaks for itself"....I am going to need some fake padding this next Christmas I hope!

McDouble (no cheese) and a glass of water. 330 calories. Yummy and just enough.

"Only" 22 pound loss? I think it is a spectacular achievement! It's a net calories burn of 77,000 calories! Wow! Or over 1 1/2 stones!!!!

(I'm just a ) Love Machine.....The Miracles (if you can laugh and run at the same time that is).

Rum...straight...I think? I can't remember....they told me I had a good time though....

Shorter now! (The beard, not me). May try a different style when I reach my first weight goal.

Smile. Relax and be yourself. Think about the question and answer it. If you get flustered or tense, take a deep breath and smile. If it is noticed, just tell them what you did...."stress reduction adds to my attention to the issues at hand."

I drink whole milk and use it on my cereal. I log it like any other calorie/food. I can stay on target this and lose by not denying myself stuff that tastes good and I like. I just log everything...and exercise.

Lying scales! just like mirrors...I KNOW I look like Sean Connery but the dang lying mirror shows an old fat (but getting skinnier) guy. Arrgh

"Happy Birthday" Dang it makes me feel old ;-) Actually, it is Kathy Mattea"s "Where Have You Been?"

OMG !!! Now I am an old guy, and no guy young or old should actually ever use omg.....except when it is appropriate....OMG!!

I love to be happy around these people. Drives them crazy! Even when I am not particularly happy, I slap a smile on my face and it tricks my brain into being happier. People want to see you wallow in the shared unhappiness. I just am pleasant and cheerful and my day is better, while they, most likely, continue leading a…

They are the quiet guy you never notice. Not a the bar after work before supper, riding in their pickups nipping at Jack Daniels and shooting out the windows but more likely working by themselves somewhere and leading quiet lives. A lot of stereotypes here and do not fit all situations. Start looking for the guys rarely…

Culver's Double ButterBurger....uhhh, no cheese though. Culver's is a Midwest burger/custard chain.

Boy behavior regardless of age....not manly or mannerly.

bump and thanks!

I suffer from AIC. Appetite Induced Crankiness. I used to eat a lot of carbs in the morning and would crash. Stopped splurging and it got a lot better! I eat low cal snacks to ward off crashing now.

"We'll always have Paris..." "Here's looking at you, kid!" Bogart

I found a duck bill, neck shade "Laurence of Arabia" hat at a sporting good store. I am old, bald, very fair skinned but smiling. I am everybody's visual entertainment while out in this hat....but I never wear it to WalMart! What? I am never going to be Brad Pitt/Fabio again, so I march to the beat of my own drummer (but…

Salmon/Fish cooked over campfire in a wire holder basket.

Go online, or better yet make it a vacation destination, to the mustardmuseum.com. Thousands of mustards from all over the world. The run the Mustard University....aptly named....(wait for it).....Poupon U!

Frosted mini wheats...with whole milk! And yes, I log it, eat back some of my exercise calories and just watch calories rather than all categories. Down about 10 lbs a month doing this.

Next time I am just going to ask gently " Why does it make you uncomfortable?' when someone questions my food choices. Gotta use a neutral, kind tone so it doesn't sound snarky. i really would be interested in an honest answer but low expectations. :-)

A large jar of Hot Fudge and a big can of peanuts....and a serving spoon! I actually used to do this.....that's why I am here to undo that!

i get a Wendy's sour cream and chive baked potato. 320 calories and it makes almost a whole meal. Yummy with a small steak!
