I'm not supposed to either, and have done that once or twice anyway. The best was a time when i was at the bottom of the laundry pile, so that I wore my black sweats with heels and a dressy top. Somehow, I pulled it off. So crazy!

Jeans. Gray t-shirt. Green hoodie. Rag wool socks. Loafers.

I'm losing about a pound a week. My stomach is not losing as fast as the rest of me though, so my hourglass is a bit round at the moment.

Make your own. Load up on the veggies. Light on everything else -- taste not quantity.

I'm drooling! Great ideas!! Spinach salad with all kinds of veggies and a vinagrette.

3 for sexy 2 otherwise

It didn't. You're okay. :-) Thanks for the tips everyone! Keep 'em coming.

My friend uses the humane, metal cage mouse traps in his business. (It's with food.) He says they work very well.

http://www.ehow.com/how_4556143_repel-mice.html Crushed bay leaves worked very well for us here. I sprinkled them in drawers, on food pantry shelves, near the dishes, in the linen closet (Before that, a mouse tried to build a nest by eating the towels!). It kept the mice away from the stuff they would normally eat in the…

It's a good sign to your new spouse that you were able to honor your marriage vows to the very end. Do not date until everything is finalized.

Felidae? (A group that the cat belongs to.)

Accountability and inspiration from reading other members' post, diaries, etc.

If you don't have someone to hold your sweatshirt for you, or if your car is a long way off to go to retrieve one, here's another idea: You can also buy one of those silver (plastic?) emergency blankets that fold up to be palm-sized. I found some in the camping section at my local big box store. I think Coleman makes them.…

Definitely layer. You shouldn't be hot when you start, maybe a little on the cool side, but not cold. Runners, do you agree?

I agree with much of what you are saying. When we are more in control of ourselves, we feel good about ourselves. When we are not in control, we may look for someone to provide that control for us.

Trader Joe's Cheese Crunchies. They get inhaled!! Second runner up is their version of Pirate's Booty. That lasts about 50% longer. I wish I was the same way with salad.

I get a little moody sometimes, but I am usually frustrated about how clothing fits or that I haven't gotten down a healthy eating pattern yet. I am sure I will have to reign in my ego at some point, but I hope, by then,. I will also feel better about myself than I do now. Other than that, I have gained a greater…

That's really cool!

In the meantime, try some ice too. That will help bring down some inflammation. If it were me, I would also take a painkiller. Ask your doc what s/he thinks would work for you.

Congratulations!

You have to keep in mind frame size as well. If you are a larger frame size, you will be at the higher end of the range when it comes to ideal weight. Vice versa for small frames. Assuming the photos are current: I am concerned about the younger women here who are almost as thin as I was in high school. My own sister said…

I don't know. It could be either one.

About 17 lbs. when the next size starts to fit on the tight side. I think at 20 lbs. lost, I can start to wear the next size down again.

Winter IS breathtaking in NH. I visited NH/VT in the snow one year. It was so amazing! And yes, you do need to enjoy winter by the fireplace after playing outside in the snow. It's a great feeling!

Upstate NY has drier winters than downstate. (It doesn't have to snow to be moist in the air.) I prefer the winters in the Adirondacks to those near the beach. They feel warmer to me. So, you may be in a good spot. Winter Tips: Look for sweaters with some wool in them. A jacket with thermofill/Thinsulate is great, too.…

I love the goatee! But, not every man can pull one off. Some would look terrible, and in that case, I prefer clean shaven.

WOW!!!! Congratulations!!!! I also love how we all look younger when we lose weight. Cool!

My friend likes New Balance. My sister likes Saucony as well. I'm still deciding. LOL.

Fish oil, too! :-)

I am not trying to be rude or insensitive, only helpful by saying the following: On Hulu, I discovered that I can watch the UK version of "Look Good Naked." Watching an episode from time to time will help put things into perspective for me. I wonder if it will help you to be encouraged, too. Maybe it will remind you of the…
