I am glad I found this thread. It makes me a little more aware of how I approach people when it comes to weight being brought up in conversation. I think I tend to be the one talking about what 'I' need to do. I have been here many times off and on. It is up to me to make sure I put in the work.

Sounds like you are prepared and ready to tackle it. Glad your vacation was great. I am ready for one myself, but I think it will be a while before I can go. After logging for a week or so, I see I am overloading on carbs still. I guess it's a good thing for me to see that so I can fix it. My protein is too low, not…

All this talk about cupcakes and frosting is going to make me want to bake when I get home. I make a mean buttercream frosting.

There is a local place in town, I can't remember the name. Fabulous breakfast for ultra cheap. Very good food.

Thanks, I managed to not eat the rest of the day, logged it and moved on. I know how you feel about the breastless friends. Mine wish they had them and I offer to give them mine.

Make sure you hit Edith's and The Office.

@sauronseye , I have the same issue with high impact exercises. I have some pretty heavy duty sports bras, but they don't entirely do the job. Confession, I blew the remainder plus some on my lunch today. Got a chicken burrito bowl at Chipotle and the chips and guac on the side. Wouldn't have been so bad if I only had half…

Mel, sounds like you handle change pretty well. I probably would be freaking out. You deserve a promotion.

Yep, Golden Grahams is another flavor I could eat waayy too much of in one sitting. I think I try to leave at least one serving , so I don't feel really bad about eating it all.

Mel, I hope your day gets better and you don't have to be nervous. I can imagine you are the employee they want to hang on to.

I have spent the last two evenings ruining any chance of a calorie deficit. Last night my daughter wanted pizza for dinner because, it was pizza Wednesday to her. Yes, I tend to let her eat pizza a lot. After treaments for leukemia, she is still a picky eater, so if she eats, she's good. I just need to learn not to…

Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal is my kryptonite. I could eat the entire box in one day.

Thanks Kelly! Now to order it.

I need to go find the book. I am interested in reading it.

Ok, I am officially nervous now. If this doesn't shake me up to get serious, not sure what will. I have been checking my fasting glucose levels and have had two consecutive readings of 179 and this morning was 283. Diabetes runs in my family and I need to get a grip on this before it gets worse.

I hate cooking after work. That's part of the reason I haven't been doing so well when it comes to the diet. Just random munching then trying to figure out what to cook, then eating again. Not working. It has to get better.

I am attempting to get back to batch cooking lunch at least. Still working on planning weekly menus. I just hate deciding that far ahead what I want to eat. Somedays it just doesn't match the plan, right?

Thought of some more. When I was younger, I loved squirrel season. We would have squirrel a couple of ways, either fried or with rice , like chicken and rice. Had some friends who thought that was the worst. A girlfriend of mine introduced me to macaroni and tomatoes. Just elbow macaroni with a can of diced tomatoes. Later…

Get off the scale and use a tape measure.

I am slowly coming down. Last few weeks I have been dropping one pound a week. I don't really feel like I am trying either. If this continues, better make some check up appointments.

Think I will wait until after this trip to Austin to start logging. It's a girls' weekend for my niece's bachelorette.

I used to melt cheddar cheese in a cup and eat it that way, just the cheese after pouring off what oil came out of it. I used to like Little Debbie's snacks. My favorite was the oatmeal cream pie at my grandparents. I used to sneak them and hope they didn't notice a bunch missing. Later in high school, my idea of breakfast…

I can't even plan that far ahead. I log and see what I have left. I need to plan better. You know the failure to plan and all that.

Quik, I have the same issue with logging. I get started and then don't finish the day. I need to commit to doing this if I am ever going to move forward with the weight loss.

I had no idea there even was a thing!! Lucky for me. I would have bought the mini oreos thins fudge covered mint and eaten the whole bag! They taste just like GS Thin Mints.

I would have been sorely tempted to shame someone.

I would have had to figure out who left that plate and ask why? That is just truly gross.

Just keep doing what you are doing. It takes time to correct a fatty liver. If you are cutting junk foods, you have already taken a step in the right direction. Keep at it and have them retest you later.

Thanks for the 'recipe'. I was thinking the same thing Lois was. Will look at that one. I have some venison I need to cook.

I guess Fat Tuesday means I can have pizza.
