No game

Did the weight come because of the thyroid or the meds they put you on?

Ten miles b*****s! took me all day... But it's done! Oh wait I don't know what my total is??? I'll be right back Ok back.... Total 43 miles!

It's ok to use straws... It's kinda like an urban myth that you can't

Wow that's weird.. So does it start out brown? From the coco?? Forgive the questions but I really have NEVER tried it Lol if you can see me now I'm riding an exercise bike asking you guys about cake

Girls, my whole weight loss has been a stall with little bits of weight loss here and there. But if you do the right things and keep at it, it will happen it just takes longer for some of us At some point I told myself I would hold out any major freak out until a year... Well I've failed and had a few, but I still kept telling myself work (and I mean work) at this for a year and see where you are then. If need be reevaluate then. So be it. I guess what I'm saying is follow your plan do your work, but don't beat up in yourself over stalls they happen and are normal.

Ok imma going to live vicariously... Does red velvet cake have a taste or is it just red???

Amanda that was me last weekend! I went there... A dark place for a day or two and ate. It's funny how easy it is to lose perspective.. I started the weekend 3 pounds up and it threw me into a weird funk.. I felt fat.. And what did I do? I ate. My husband was gone for the weekend so you know me... Secret binge eater. Went to town on a rhubarb pie his mom brought over (b***h ) When he came home I fessed up to what I was doing and feeling. Dusted myself off and started over again. Fast forward to today those extra pounds are gone and I have seen two other pounds down occasionally.. We gotta keep going girlie! I'm almost at a year (can you believe it) I'm not one of those miracle "I lost it in six months" girls, but hey it's been a good productive year and we are definitely better off now than we were right??

Trust me the little tiny bit of hair you will lose temporarily will be worth all the weight loss and health benefits I was just cleaning out my email inbox... yikes! there was stuff in there from 2006! I had signed up for information about the lapband way back then and had all this info stored away... While I'm glad I didn't go that route it showed me how many years I've wasted being fat sick and miserable Good luck to you, Laura

You and me both Amanda... I learned that pain means nothing to me.. When I get into the binge frame of mind I find ways to push past it too. But the bright side? We are doing it! right?? We are dealing with our demons and losing weight (some of us slower than others but oh well)

Sorry messed up and out my response on your thread Oh if I could get to 140 I'd be dancing (stomach pooch and everything) Can easily put on any loses I have on fast days if I over endulge on regular days.. Fast days Greek yogurt blueberries for my first meal And chicken some kind of salad and bolthouse dressing for dinner. Snacking is Protein like an Ostrim stick.

Revs! Good news on the sleep! I'm glad you found a fix until this sorts itself out. Yes food choices, I'd keep it a bit bland for now. your stomach sounds like it's just not ready for much yet... I raise my yogurty spoon to yours in a show of solidarity! (Yes I'm eating yogurt)

Thank you Jane I needed that lecture! I went shopping again today. One thing I can say I have choices now... It's funny this time last year I would be trying to get out of even going to the wedding! And shopping? It was about finding something that fit, never mind liking it.. I was torn between something kind of sexy or something fitted and boring.. I ended up going with the boring A line dress because well, it's a wedding... I realized I really like my causal clothes more than dresses! Oh and sleeveless no bueno! You will be so happy that you decided to get your arms done EVERYTHING is sleeveless!

I'm sorry that you are feeling sad.. You know that this is her problem and not yours. I had several friends turn on me a bit because I had surgery. One was significantly over weight. And thought that I would judge her! But I told her I did this for me and my health. I was going to die I knew it! If I hadn't had surgery. It makes me sad that it us against them now type attitudes. Because I am still them I know what it's like to be the morbidly obese girl and in some ways I'll always be that girl still. But it's really hard to explain that to someone who doesn't want to listen. She sounds like she doesn't know how to handle her feelings without lashing out.. Perhaps she will come around or perhaps not. But this is not about you or anything that you have done wrong.

Oh Amanda PMS sweet tooth! I've been putting pumpkin purée, pumpkin pie spice, nutmeg and vanilla extract oh and stevia into my Greek yogurt! Yummy and funny enough no one else in the house wants any??

for me it sucks because I think I'm getting pre menopausal... So I never know when it's coming Like this week I wanted to eat! I mean eat! It's like my sleeve "relaxes" and I can consume mass amounts. I think uh oh there goes my restriction I'm broken! Then the period comes and I go back to normal again??

Hey girly long time no see! Hows it going?

Lol we always seem to be PMSing at the same time I went to a specialty store today to pick up a few things and had to call my husband to ask him to tell me to walk away from a red velvet cake they had!!! The bastard, said "oh you should buy it"
