I would wait til marriage, like the Bible says.

1. flax seed oil 2. spinach 3. romaine lettuce or green leaf 4. lemons 5. watermelon Yum!

The first thing I thought of is what a lot of you put, salad, salmon/ fish if he likes fish! I would want to buy one of those raw food chocolate "cheese" cake things with raspberries on it. If we were going somewhere I don't want to, I hope I'd have the guts to say no, I don't like this. Let's go somewhere else. I'm not…

When I gained the weight I am trying to lose now, it took like 4 yrs to gain and I got up to 203 lb, I was eating little and exercising a lot. Later, I found out that I cannot tolerate wheat/gluten, corn, potatoes, tapioca, rice...etc Ask a doctor to help you with elimination diet and/or food sensitivity testing. Those…

PS Good job everyone, whatever boat you're in, in school. It takes a lot of work and $$$. Sometimes I wonder why things can get so hard, but I realize if it was easy everyone would do it. See the light at the end of the tunnel :) Also, maybe you're reading and not in school, so I'm not trying to be rude, I have had a few…

Yes I study, or am supposed to be studying a lot. So much time is spent in class though. I'm in medical school. I raise 2 kids alone. I love the Wii fit. It makes me look forward to workouts and I've lost 30 lb with that in the past 2 yrs. Two games on wii fit plus; free run and free step you don't need to watch the screen…

Oregon here, too! Welcome to MFP :)

American! Black, mom's side is part Irish, and there's supposed to be some Native American. I'm trying to find out more from older relatives while I have the chance! It is interesting the ethnicity etc, my kids are mixed and my son was born with blond hair and white skin! I grew up in MI and lived up north in a small town…

Community meeting Sat, took tree to a recycle place. Sunday church, farmer's market, ran a mile at the track and came home to sleep.

I sometimes feel like that, esp when people call me "sir". I'm a woman/mom. I enjoyed getting a new outfit when I first started losing weight. More recently at a 50 lb loss I got a couple of workout outfits, that was a treat because all I had before were 2nd- hand, stained sweats etc. for relax/exercise clothes. Sometimes…

No worries... I'll friend request you :) It'll feel nice to have some support. The more the better because people disappear sometimes here.

I thought the same as I had a POF account for a couple weeks last year and got rid of it. Also, wondered about Christian Mingle also, but I feel some pervs would be on there like wolf in sheep's clothing. I haven't tried it though.

There was a weight-loss contest in my group and I lost several pounds. The contest lasted 7 weeks and ended right before Christmas. Afterwards, I kept exercising and eating healthy, except for some gluten-free cookies I made and a little turkey and divinity. Even at the 2 potlucks I went to I ate salad and a bite of…

Haven't dated in over 10 yrs. Wouldn't know what to wear maybe jeans or slacks with knit top if something casual.

Actually, I was also in a black neighborhood and a lady did the same thing, knocked on my window told me to move my car away from her house...

My mom's grandma was Irish, my kids are mixed. I grew up in a small town up north in Michigan. I was usually the only person of color from Kindergarten - 12th grade. No one would date me at all. Now, I live in Pacific NW. There's a lot of racism and prejudice here. I also attend med school. People make a lot of rude…

This is great, I didn't know you could get an attachment like this. I don't have a mixer yet though. I have been wanting to make my son his own ice cream and actually know what is in it. Although for now he'll get the occasional Alden's organic ice cream. I want to reduce his dairy and the non-dairy stuff at the store has…

I keep honey as a staple in the kitchen...this makes you think though... fruit is actually just a protection and nutrients for the plant to have for the seeds/offspring. Oh so yummy though!

Rarely I'll drink a tiny glass of organic chocolate milk but get a stomach ache. Once every yr or two I buy some raw goat milk and turn it into chocolate milk. Feels weird drinking animal baby food though. I read in a few places that milk causes the body to get acidic which in older age and actually pulls the calcium and…

Welcome! I will add you to friend request. I've been here since summer and I lost almost 20 lb!

I'm going to hang out at home with my kids for New Year's Eve. Same as I've done for the past 7 years. I'm not too concerned to stay up til midnight. I'll probably hear the fireworks outside. I don't drink alcohol...I'll just make lemonade or something!

I feel like that sometimes also. Counting every crumb. I am grateful for my fitness pal, so I can actually see all those crumbs add up to a whole days calories. Hang in there! I have been trying to find some friends nearby to do active activities with like walks and jogs.

Welcome to MFP!

I only did POF for a few weeks; maybe less than a month. The guys I thought were interesting didn't respond to my msgs. I ended up dropping it because I was getting very distracted from my final exams. My friend said at first she went on lots of dates and had to filter out guys that she didn't click with. Now, she's met…

While I was on POF I didn't end up going out with any of the guys. My friend met her boyfriend there recently. She wants to help me set up a new account and get some new pics up. I'm not too sure about it. We'll see :)

I can relate. I raise my kids alone and am a full-time student and there are like 2 single guys at church one who's like 20 yrs older than me and the other just got divorced... The only place I ago besides that is the grocery store. I assume the guys my age are already married... because the one's I actually know are...

I can meet people here and there all the time, but not really singles. Most people that I actually know are married or partnered up with someone. My school is 90% women so that doesn't work, except you can find a lot of friends from school, about 400-500 of us. Clueless, but if I figure it out I'll share. I did…

No, but I've been a member of TOPS (Taking off pounds sensibly) for over 2 yrs. I go to weekly support group meetings/weigh-ins. It has been so nice to have the accountability and meet some really nice people, in person to work on our weight loss goals together and hear a lot of good tips, articles, etc. before TOPS 203 lb…

To you with problem with carpet/Wii balance board, did you put those little plastic feet on it! When I first got it I didn't put them on and nothing worked. I've lost almost 20 lbs since I have had the Wii Fit and Wii Fit Plus. Oh my gosh! I love it! I am a single mom and a full-time med student, soooo busy and have no…

I was close to 170 when I started MFP. Max wt was 203 lb. My goal is 140.
