^^^^ This!!

I'm still about 70 pounds from my "goal," but a loss of 120+ from when I started. When I do get to "goal" I may keep going, it depends on where I am happy with it... Add me if you'd like!

Nice smile!

I WAS a diet coke addict. it literally took me cold-turkeying out, and buying no more soda's. Instead, I bought water, by the cases. When I ate, I HAD to drink SOMETHING, water was all I had. Occasionally, when I go out, I get a diet coke, but that is few and far between. Good luck! PS: My weight loss SPED up after…

Thank you! I love the crown~

Your eyes!

Hang out...

I have always been picked on for my name. The nerdy girl on Scooby Doo.... Velma. I was the 3rd generation Velma in my family. I am the LAST! My mother-in-law's name was Thelma, so we promised each other that if I had a child, she would not be named Thelma nor Velma. I kept that promise. My daughter's name is Angelynn. My…

I LOVED the original Garbage Pail Kids. I remember trading the boy down the street for the ones I wanted. Were these like the Yugioh! cards of the 80's?

We eat a lot of processed foods, here. We are, basically, a microwave family. I try to choose organic products, when I can. Raw veggies for snacks, and Michelina's Lean gourmet foods ($1 per boxed dinner) I always choose lean hamburger with less than 5% fat. The only veggies I like (cooked) are green beans, so I eat a lot…

ooops, I guess I am not doing right with the pics. Anyone know how I can fix it?

Awesome job!!

This name came during the time of the Desert Storm War. I am leaving out the last name, I am truly not out to embarrass, just always thought this was a BIG and strange name. Desert Stormy Ocean Skye Cinnamon Blossom ______(insert last name)

LOL!! AWESOME!! I had forgotten about Gizmo!

Fast Food and Chocolate. While my cravings aren't as bad as they were 4 months ago, I do still miss McDonald's and Snickers on occasion!

I've had people tell me to take full body before and progress pics... Just can't do that, yet.

I am NOT a morning person, so a big breakfast is typically out (for me.) I find myself eating the most calories (when I am at home, at night, 6-8 pm) when I am out, then around lunch time (12-2 pm) It really all depends on if I am cooking, or if someone else is doing the honors!

Forearms, shoulders, 6 ft and taller (or a really nicely built slightly shorter) I like a Manly Man, not into the whole feminine man (although, I hate being told what to do, so he must be good with compromise)

First off, there is nothing wrong with your body, post baby. 2nd three weeks postpartum is not enough time to heal after a vaginal birth for intercourse for him to get into his pea sized brain that you're "loose." 6 weeks is the average when you can even begin to try to re-evaluate your diet in order to lose weight, even…

1. Do you have any, and if so, HOW many? 2. When did you get it/them? 3. What did you get? 4. Any regrets? 1. I have 8. I got my first when I was 17 and sitting on a pool table. Regrets? A couple. My first: was supposed to be a rose, but guy had a homemade tattoo gun and was high, so it has thick lines, solid color (black)…

I have Mitochondrial Myopathy, with connective fiber necrosis with chronic inflammation, which begins with my energy cells within all muscles malfunctioning and many muscles wasting/dying which leads to chronic inflammation widespread. There are days I can not stand or walk 5 minutes. I have a power chair, because even the…

You are definitely NOT alone! I, too, started out in pant size 26/28,, when I chose to take charge of my life and health I found MFP. I LOVE it! I still have a long way to go, but here are a few things I have learned: Log everything!! (good or bad, each day can be a do-over for the day before, just keep trying) Start…

My thoughts exactly!

Bump for later

Thank you, everyone!! I loved the " Fake it!" liner, I know I will have to fake it, for a LONG time! I'm going to come back and post after my first time, tomorrow, let everyone know how it goes. I'm looking forward to it, but I'm also kind of nervous. (I've banned my hubby and kids from the living room while I work out!)…

Here I am, always a "Day late and a Dollar short!!"

They feel almost like tweezing or little ant stings. (to me, anyway)

Hi! I started out at 297, wobbling currently around 245/246. My ultimate goal is 155, but I will re-evaluate how I feel and look when I get to 175.. I still have a LONG way to go (since I am currently STUCK) and would love any new friends who can relate :)
