Have a great time!

Mine is falling out. Subbing for ideas.

No...silly...you walk down the block to the convenient Subway... The commercials are a hoot. Besides, who there would really let a buddy/team member eat from a vending machine?

I loved the work week. That is real life. Watching workouts gets boring. It isn't as though they change.

No idea how to change it!! Thus my frustration. And, you are right corrupt can begin at home. I have know people who I did like and did respect and who did have admirable goals etc., that went south as soon as they stepped into the larger govt. I guess that what would really change it would be if the people chose to start looking past the hype and at the real issues. If they/we would look at the big picture and decide whether it makes sense would help. People are too quick to jump on the bandwagon, point fingers and blame, etc. I guess I don't really belong on this thread. I was reading randomly, and stumbled on that statement and started thinking about it. Whether you are using the environment or the terrorists it is wrong to use hype and fear. The dreamer in me would love to see unbiased assessments...lol. I know, they make meds for that kind of foolishness!

I think it is easier, because I do not have the fears of regaining. So that makes it a positive, easier way for me. I know that it still takes cutting calories and moving about to make it happen.

Thanks! I appreciate it. That is total from last summer. I do think both sides do it. Whether it should always be called out, I don't know. Probably. But then I don't think it should be called from higher ground. I can't imagine a world without both sides complimenting one another, frankly. I think it is one of the better aspects of our society. What I do believe is that the two groups are more alike than different if you poll the average member. And the animosity that is promoted by the far left and far right does nothing to solve the issues of either side. It is a frustration for me. I have friends who are local to state politicians on both sides. Once a person gets beyond the local they have already sold out to far too many people. So, I guess my lack of respect for politicians in general colors my opinion, also.

No kidding. There is no excuse for not knowing about this site. The internet should be one of the first places to look for information, and really, when looking about health issues, negative posts far outweigh the positive. Troll.

Lol. Cute. Glad you don't mind cockroaches and mice in your home. Being equal to you, and all. We kill those too here. Do y'all wear any leather? Eat meat? Eat grain raised in fields where they kill varmints and bugs?

The last time I noticed, there were an abundance of pigeons in the city, and not an abundance of hawks, etc. The geese are nasty. They land in our field all of the time. Not many crows, but Laura Ingalls said they tasted good!

clothes are a great motivator. I find them to be far more concrete for me, rather than thinking, "i'll lose so many pounds by the wedding in two months, etc."

these are animals that have lost their natural predators.

lol, rats with wings...

My family hunts. Deer meat is low fat, and relatively organic. We like meat. If you are going to eat it, the life and death of that deer is far better than that of beef cattle, etc. I couldn't say only hunt for food, though. We kill the coyotes that come onto our property. They kill the deer, the rabbits, etc. They also have killed 3 of our animals. I don't know anyone who hunts for trophy alone. They guys we know are a pretty honorable lot.

All politicians use fear and lies. Both democrats and republicans. Whether you are talking about the environment or promoting homophobia. Both sides tend to not listen nor think for themselves. It is always amusing when either side blindly follows and yet calls the other brain washed.

Exactly. If this were all fun, we wouldn't be in this condition. Maybe you could just start buying your own supplies. Feeding one minimal calories isn't that expensive.

i'm interested too. I am getting more wrinkles every day. The newest is under my chin.

glad it all went well!

tina, I know that feeling. Both of them, really! I have been frustrated, and I have over estimated my abilities! I lost 2 lbs, finally. The doc is happy, but I've been frustrated with the lack of scale stuff, while my clothes are growing. Where the heck do the pounds go, and why couldn't they hide like that before.

It sounds as though your ego needs reigned in. This is a person who loved you unconditionally, and you've decided, what, that you can do better now? Sorry, but if she had said that about you when you were 120 lbs. heavier, what would that have said about her? It doesn't say anything better about you now. Sorry, counseling would work if you wanted it to. It sounds as though you have made your choice. Love isn't always about lust and emotion.

What fun! I'm sure all was well.

Perfect advice.

I hope you make it out and all goes well.

Take a deep breath, and ease up on yourself. You are not a failure. You are just in the midst of a process that we all wish on occasion was a bit more concrete. I just today saw some of the work of the last three weeks show up on the scale. The scale was sitting still, and my clothes were getting looser. Part of the problem is Water that comes and goes with stress, exercise and normal cycles. Chances are that you are seeing something similar. So, start today with a fresh outlook and be kind to yourself. You deserve it.

hope you get it cared for quickly.
