Kia Soul, white. Old Toyota was costing $1,000s/mos to keep running. Got the soul because it was higher off the ground than a sedan and having my car in the shop so much I drove a lot of cars that would scrap the ground on all the hills in town, also a lot of urban flooding made me want something taller. Had more room in…

That's how much I need to lose to get to goal, and maybe a couple oz...

I would tell someone who I'm with and where and when I'm supposed to be back home. Then I'd call/text my friend when I got home. If I was murdered none of that would matter. If in doubt, I'd just leave the date. I was once married to a really messed up guy, so I know there are some very scary people out there. Men & women!…

I'm not sure, because I have not gone out in too long to remember, decade or something. But please tell us how it goes!!! Be an inspiration to others.

I try to do the same thing/workouts. I noticed that when I work out really hard a few days before that my cramps are a lot less, I usually don't plan it that way, but maybe I should. On my TOM though, I feel sooooo tired and have a hard time, but with life's busyness, I don't have much of a chance to stop. Only other issue…

I quit drinking 8 years ago. When I was on POF, every guy who wanted to ask me out, wanted to go out for drinks... I didn't want to be around alcohol. I never went out with anyone. I've been around too many drinking issues all my life and I find it difficult to try to go out because it's around... even at kids' birthday…

Looks like I have a couple more weeks to remind myself that I signed up for this challenge. My weight's been yo-yo'ing but I'll keep on trying!!!

I'll join this goal!

Not much here, went to a weight loss mtg for people within 10 lb from goal. Went to the zoo yesterday and stayed home today, movies, homework and cleaning... and eating...

Tigard, OR (Portland metro area).

Yes, thanks for the post. My dad served 21 yrs in the A.F. My mom was a military wife & died yrs ago. I want to sit my kids down for memories of those who fought and support this country. Hard to even get groceries, stores full of sales and packed with people shopping for deals. Mattress anyone? Plan on staying home…

banana with hot cocoa, (raw cacao powder and "raw sugar") and nuts ie Brazil or walnuts.

That is what I was wondering before I saw your post. It's pretty sad for me, because I'm kind of a tomboy and have similar issues. No good pics! No friends to take them! Wah! and when I'm somewhere where they take a pic, I think it looks horrible.

Hello I'm in Portland, 35. I think my east coast friends are in bed when I log in at night and complete my exercise and food log... I'll friend request you.

You need at least four members to have a group; at least to start one. My last group had about 5 members when I had to leave because of my schedule and moving (when I started attending 2 & 1/2 yrs ago there was 30-ish). They keep meeting, keep weighing in and supporting each other, which is the important thing. Since there…

This BMI has got me desperately trying to keep losing by really limiting cals but then I get too tired to exercise or I eat extra etc and start gaining again. My BMI goal will put me at about 7 lb above my high school weight and I had eating disorders in high school. I'm in a weight loss group so I had to get a docs note…

I got my fake name years ago when I went to these guys' apt and I told my friend I wouldn't talk all night. So, some guy was trying to talk to me and figure out my name and I must've slipped and said "Me a..." And he said oh you're name is Mia?... It's stuck for almost 20 yrs.

Ok, now I'm getting ready for Mon's weigh-in! I have more final exams next week and feel a lot of stress. Ugggg.... I need an exercise/study plan and add a plan for "Ok I ate fine all day, but at dinner I stress out and eat the wrong (salty) foods again;" right before weigh-in!

My friend talks about the paleo diet, thanks for explaining what it is. I eliminated those food items a few yrs ago and tried introducing them back to my diet and was getting very ill, with headaches, congestion, stuffy noses/ sinus issues etc... even mental loss of focus. So, because of those reactions I don't eat those…

Lost 3 lb. That's a lot for me. Probably, part of it was I was cleaning the entire house for a yearly inspection. I hope I can keep it off and lose some more. I think it's about 4.25 lb from goal. This is the closests to goal that I've been since I started.

I gained last Mon, 0.75. Wah! I got to go to the Yellow Rose Society KOPS meeting on Sat though, because I'm within 10 lbs of goal. I needed some motivation. Weigh in tomorrow again.

Weigh-in is tomorrow! We'll see...

We've been having some guests speakers come. We had an award ceremony a couple weeks ago and it was very motivating. We've had some good programs lately, also.

I've been away from my ex-husband for over 7 and 1/2 years and raising our 2 kids 100% alone. I haven't dated anyone since I left him. I've wanted to date though. I like working out at home, hanging out watching sci-fi movies, going to school/work and I don't go to bars... Hard to meet men with that way, I guess :(

I'm glad so many of you responded, women I know in person don't really notice weight gain or are post menopausal and don't have these annoying gains (usually lower metabolism though and I'm not looking forward to any more of that :(. I also gain on my special TOM. I weigh in with my TOPS weight loss group once a week so I…

That is quite a lot to deal with. You don't really know the guy, and if it was me, I'd be flattered about liking me. ...but you have felt some red flags and in my experience, instinct is important to listen to. Even if you meet him, your thoughts will be either be confirmed or he'll turn out different in person. Just FYI:…

I go to school for naturopathic medicine. It's 90% women. Doesn't help me because I'm looking for a man, but just FYI for some of you... Although, even most of my classmates are partnered up or married... I tried plenty of fish for a couple weeks and got kind of creeped out and dropped it. It seemed like, wow there are so…

I used to have dreads, just braids now though. When I lost a lot of weight my hair got weak and fell out. Same thing happened when I had kids. It sucks!

This is how I feel, except not many people want to date me. I think I have a wall built up because of being hurt in the past.
