Bouncing on the same 6lbs for 6 months. HELP!!

Alt-j tickets KC Tonight!
I have 2 tickets to the (sold out) Alt-j concert tonight. Unfortunately I seem to have come down with a stomach bug and won't be able to attend. So, I don't want the tickets to go to waste and none of my friends listen to the same music as me. Anyone in the area (Kansas City) want to go?? Totally free. I just don't want to…

It's not supposed to be this way...
When I first decided to take losing weight seriously it was because I was sick of looking the way I did. I was 241.5 lbs. I'm only 5'5. But I was pretty comfortable naked in front of my SO. Now, I've lost 47.5 lbs. I look better in clothes. But not naked. Oh I'm horrified thinking of someone seeing me naked now. I have…

http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2012/01/16/chocolate-frosting-shots/ Anyone tried this? I've got the monthly family dinner coming up and I am supposed to make cupcakes.

Almost like Chili's...
Chili's Bar & Grill has this amazing appetizer called 'Crispy Onion String & Jalapeno Stack w/ Ranch'. It's so good!! The down side, it's totally deep fried. It has 1050 calories! If that doesn't tell you how yummy it is, I don't know what will. Anyway, last time my hubby and I went to Chili's this is what he ordered to…

Protein question
I was talking to a 'friend' of mine about what I was going to have for lunch today. It has quite a bit of protein and I was saying that maybe I should eat something else for lunch since I didn't want to go over my protein. I was thinking about making chicken egg rolls for dinner. She started in on me about how you can't…

Discount P90X?
Wondering what you all think of this. I found a website that is offering P90X, P90X2, Zumba, Turbo Fire, and Insanity, for $64.99 each. They say that they buy in bulk so they can sell cheaper. This is tempting. But I'm still skeptical. They don't use Paypal, they use Authorize.net. I've never heard of them. What do you all…

This is what I want...
I used to think that losing weight would be enough. Being thin will make me happy. Those girls that had slim bodies with almost no curves was what I wanted growing up. As I got older, women with muscles, noticeably strong muscles was not what I wanted. I knew that. But, I didn't really know what it was I wanted. Now, I…

Do you have a HRM watch-style?
I've just hit my goal of 25 lbs. My reward to myself is a Polar HRM. Yay! Anyway, I'm wondering how the watch part fits.

You're going to a restaurant and you can't find the nutritional info online?? We're going to T-Rex Cafe with family and I can't find anything online other than the Bronto Burger is around 910 Calories. I don't know what to order. Maybe a salad with dressing on the side?

Sugar Substitutes
I'm having a hard time with these. I've never tried them but my confusion with them is that I don't really know what they are. I remember when they first started running commercials for them and one said, made from real sugar, then later in the commercial said it wasn't sugar, that it was better. :huh: Really? Then what…

Odd Running Shoe Question
I'm a female with really wide feet. They just don't make many running shoes that come in a wide. At least that I can find and afford. Would it be crazy to buy running shoes for men? Would it be safe? I don't want to hurt myself. What do you all think? Thanks in advance!
