Oooo flowers for me, you are smooth :wink:

Totally see this! Liz was a classic beauty, like you hon :))

<As an adult, I got a lot of Monica Lewinsky comparison comments LOL When I was in my teens, though, it was Justine Bateman from Family Ties... me (wayyy back then)...

Great post lady!!! Woohoo to letting ourselves go :drinker: btw, i see a blog with a huge following in your future...

Thanks!

LOL! yes! this ^^^

Congratulations!! You deserve it! Thank you for being such a positive inspirational MFP force :))

Smart girl! At your age, there is soooo much to see and do and experience in life. Plenty of time for a hubby down the road if you change your mind, or not :drinker:

Super picky about "energy" type drinks, and I steer clear of Red Bull and the like. Emergen-C has a ton of vitamins & antioxidants for energy and B's for focus. It dissolves in cold water if you're in a hurry, but tastes better in hot water, like a tea. Acai Berry flavor is my fave, but tangerine or raspberry are tasty…

I tried this a week before Thanksgiving. My intention was to decrease guilt associated with holiday indulgences and enjoy some food with family and friends. I decreased my weight-loss goal per week by 1/2 pound, and thus increased the calories allowed per day. I figured during the holidays, I could live with that. The idea…

I am new to this group too. Bought the Wii to make exercise more fun, so got a couple of games. Mostly, I use the Wii Fit Plus disk. Soooo many activities on there with tons of variety! Sometimes, I trip around the living room, trying to do the Gold's Gym Dance Workout (Latin dance) :laugh:

I looked in the manual and I'm confused how to do this :huh: If anyone has figured it out, would love some instruction. Thanks!

what great progress!!! can't wait to see the 180's again too! keep up the great work & congrats!!!

35 friends, and yes, I am selective. I have found everyone operates a little differently with comments. Build on those mutually motivational friendships & best on your journey :))

I have wondered this too LOL. If I have a mutually motivational/supportive "friendship" with someone, then yes, I take time to look at the diary & exercise logs to make comments that I hope will be helpful & encouraging. Many of my friends have lost much more weight than me, so I really try to learn from them more than…

Your symptoms were very similar to mine... Good to know only 2-3 days! Thanks :))

Indeed, the primary source for all my groceries! Eggplant Hummus (only 35 cals for 2 TBLS so it goes on nearly everything lol!) Vanilla yogurt with almonds to add in - omg! Honeycrisp apples - amazing Multi-grain English muffins - the whole thing for 160 cals with tons of fiber Pumpkin cream cheese & Laughing Cow blue…

You look fantastic!!! I am on a similar weight journey so thanks for sharing :flowerforyou:

You are my hero! Now that is some serious inspiration. Thank you :flowerforyou:

Lol! This reminded me of a cure I used as a teenager... I would shuffle down to the high school track and run, and run, and run, and run until I had only enough energy left to drag my *kitten* back home, take a steam shower, drink a gallon of water, and go to sleep. Crazy. But worked every time.

^this! I have nothing new to add, just wanted to contribute and try to counter the negativity you experienced above :flowerforyou: P.S. The group forum about periods does have lots of great info, for real.

I don't mind charging the phone while sitting at my desk at work during the day, in between movement. I may just have to give this one a try to compare with the one I am fiddling with now. Thanks for the reviews! :flowerforyou:

Thank you all SOOOO much for taking the time to respond. Y'all cheered me up with your humor & well-wishes... and offered great tips :flowerforyou: Feeling a tad better. Used Emergen-C for vitamins and electrolytes, Cold-eez zinc lozenges, lots of decaf green tea with lemon, and some spicy curry & garlic for good measure.…
