My waist always reduces first, then my belly.

Number one, you are clearly not a "fat lazy *kitten*." Fat lazy *kitten* categorically DO NOT go out running. You noticed that the person hurling insults at you was in a far worse position, healthwise, than you are, and that's very important, because now, you can realize that he's not actually insulting you. He's yelling…

Doesn't that feel wonderful? So proud of you!

This is my current playlist for the elliptical, and it runs more or less from slowest to fastest. Not all old, not all new. Mostly attitude songs. Hope you enjoy some of them. Spotify is a great source for new workout tunes, BTW. Power - Kanye West Umbrella - Jay-Z w Rihanna Millennium - Robbie Williams Bang Bang Bang - DJ…

WARNING: Gonna paint with a huge paintbrush here. My grandparents, born in Mississippi during the Great Depression, were literally sharecroppers as children and spent the majority of their day during harvest towing sacks the length of an adult man's body through the rows of cotton plants, picking bolls until their fingers…

LOVE this!~ Thank you so much for sharing it~

My in-laws live outside of Gallipolis; my husband graduated from Olentangy outside of Columbus.

Welcome to MFP! :) Feel free to add me, if you like.

Wow, you have absolutely transformed your face! I am so proud of the hard work you've done and the weight loss you've experienced as a result. Good job! I can't wait to see you next year! :)

My career focuses on legal assistance for victims of domestic violence and child abuse, so children are an inherent part of daily life in the office. Children don't bother me.

What excellent work you've done! I'm very proud of your accomplishment, and I'm sure your family is glad you're healthier and will be with them for many more years to come :) What an amazing gift to them, and to yourself!

I think I just threw up a little in the back of my throat.

Welcome! Feed free to add me, if you like :)

Opossum: Like a giant, greasy rat. Raccoon: Like a bigger, giant, greasy rat. Alligator: Delicious, texture like a chicken nugget. Octopus: Grilled, I disliked the texture. Reminded me of chewing on a large rubberband. Taste was a bit "fishy" for me. Haggis: Liver flavor was too strong for me. Vomited it, but frankly, it…

2011 Volvo XC90. Excellent handling in snow and ice, very good gas mileage for an SUV (comparable to a Camry, I was shocked).

Doing online research for a mutual friend, one night, the friend asked me to help another friend find some information. I was actually pretty snarky about it ("What am I, your personal reference librarian?"), but answered the guy's message and found what he was looking for (which turned out to be a topic that interests me,…

Only by blood, Lisa :) It's a pleasure to "meet" you here, and I'd be happy to have you as a friend. I'm also five feet tall (well, four foot eleven and three-quarters, but who's counting, right? ;) ). Welcome to MFP!

My ex-husband's mother (my MIL at the time) and drove to the city to see a musical together. During intermission, we went to the restroom together, and it was there she informed me I was "a little bit 'hip-py.' " It wasn't a comment on my political leanings. Man, I don't miss her :)

My ex was a master saboteur, but THIS husband, man, he roxors! He is super supportive, not only of the aesthetic aspect of losing weight, but also of the improvement in my health. He tells me he wants me around a really long time, and that motivates me even on days when I just don't feel like doing anything. It helps that…

I can't drink anything while watching it, because the drink will shoot out my nose. Hilarious show!

Hi! Feel free to add me.

I once let Gerald McRaney ("Simon & Simon," "Major Dad") go ahead of me in line to use the water fountain at my workplace.

You are amazing! Keep it up, and please share pics so we can all be inspired by your accomplishment!

Honey, if you could just see my "shopping cart" and "wishlist" on th' Interwebz, you'd fall out dead. I *love* play shopping, and it's a hell of a lot cheaper than the real thing! :) BTW, Pinterest is sort of the megaultragranddaddy of all wishlists. Don't say I didn't warn you; it's virtual crack.

Both. But I prefer big dogs over small ones.

Your Maine coon is just beautiful. We plan on getting a coulple of Maine coons ourself when we resettle in the States soon.

Being able to wear clothes well and strike an impressive, professional figure. Greater energy levels, and improved health. Getting off my blood pressure medicine for the first time since my thirties. Driving my sports car that I'm getting myself for being so damned awesome.

41, will be 42 in September. 42, as we know, is the answer to life's biggest question. (Any Douglas Adams fans out there?)
