I was devastated when i heard Matt Bomer is gay.. just b/c.. the phantasy is gone. I'll still droowl over him though!

I can't wait!!!!!!!! Thanks for posting!!! :)

You look great! Congrats! Must feel really good!

WOWZA!

@Enigmatica You are so precious!!! I am so grateful to have you as one of my friends! And I admire you so much! I often wonder how you do it all? A bit envious of you... but I am happy for you.. that you've gotten through a lot and that you do so good. I do feel for you with your health situation. I know it's hard and I…

Thanks for the info. I will check them out!!! :)

I really appreciate your suggestions. Thank you! I've never heard of the brush your teeth thing. It's a good idea.. if I can make myself do it. I'm wondering if my calories are too low. I'm trying to go by what my trainer says. She wants me to stick with 12-1400 calories a day. It's hard. I think I will do really good and…

Good question. Seems everyone has some input. I really admire those of you who say there's nothing they can't give up. Kudos to you! Me... COKE (coca-cola... the real thing) but it's not a food? I've tried giving it up. But for food, I'd have to say pizza. Now something that I've had to give up because I have no control…

No diet pills for me either. I think every single mfp friend I have is working toward a better lifestyle. A good book to read is called EAT TO LIVE by Dr. Fuhrman. It's a different way to look at food. I certainly stuggle. Food is an addiction for me. I have a hard time, but it is about sticking to a healthy routine with…

WOW!!! That is so amazing!!! I am happy for you!!! And you truly are inspiring! Just curious... have you been reading the book "Eat to Live"? You sound like you're grasping what this book has to say which is absolutely fantastic. I'm trying... but it's a slow process for me! I am going to do my first 5K on Thanksgiving…

Mostly to be able to get around like a normal person and to have energy to want to live life. There's a lot more things, but mostly I just don't want to be hindered by my weight/size. It's been my problem my whole life.

I relate so much to all of these but to yours mostly. It's humiliating trying to go on a amusement park ride and not being able to fit. Everyone watching while they try to get you to fit, and then eventually getting off because I didn't fit. I feel you!!!

By the way... I got my new socks from socksaddict.com. They have free shipping and if you sign up for their email, they'll give you a promo code for 10% off the purchase. So, my three pairs of socks cost just under $30.00. I am a bit concerned about the sock size on the injinji socks (toe socks). They show that my size…

Thank you so much!!! I really appreciate all the advice!!! WOW! I wasn't expecting to get so much feedback with actual solutions! So, I have just ordered two pairs of wrightsock's and one pair of injinji. I've never spent so much for socks! But it will be worth it if it helps and prevents blisters. I also just purchased…

Same thing I've been wearing every day lately. Black yoga pants. White sports bra. Hot pink sport top. Hot pink 4x t-shirt (which is now way too big for me). (and undees of course)

I wouldn't call this a cleanse. But I think it would make a big difference to you! You have to watch something! It's a documentary that's become extremely popular and it focuses all on nutrition. Nothing harmful. It's called 'Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead'. It has changed my whole way of thinking about food. After you watch…

Wow y'all!!! Great responses!!! I really appreciate your feedback. Thank you! I guess I will continue to mix it up a little, but focus on more intense workouts. I'm not really in all that great of shape due to my size. But in just a short time, I feel I've already come a long way in my workouts. Other than seeing my…

I'm no expert, but don't let MFP stop your eating of fruits and vegetables. I've been doing a lot of reading lately. I always ate for pleasure. I love food. I always felt if I'm counting calories, why bother with fruits and veggies when I can use the calories for something else that I prefer. There's a book my trianer…
