Woman did you miss the thread I started? :party: Guess that's what I get for lurking on the December exercise thread instead of doing actual exercise and posting lol. I gots me 30 minutes of snow shoveling in thus far on the happy new year. I don't suppose the bowling later will count either so I better get off my bum and work it out.

What does everyone have against camping? I love to camp lol.

HP it starts right on Lake Michigan and ends on Lake Erie. The nice part is that it ends at Sterling State park which is like 20 minutes south of my house. Anyone who come on the ride is welcome to come to the after party at my house lol. And yeah the jersey is pretty sweet.

Happy New Year everyone!

Aww J that sucks that you guys are all sick. I was afraid to call ya the other day since I knew Zoe was feeling crappy. I didn't want to wake her up if she was sleeping. And thanks for the link. I was wondering what the name of that place was Anyhow this is my June plan 27th Annual Pedal Across Lower Michigan (PALM) Bike Ride Anyone else interested? Midwest people? JENNJENN? I am going to get a tag a long and take DD with me. DH has pretty much vetoed his attending but what can ya do?

Happy New Year y'all!!!!!

I would like to take credit for that but someone else posted it awhile back. I am just a follower lol.

You are very tricky, oh wise one. Thanks for the tidbit of info! That certainly makes things easier.

FYI if you copy your original post and paste it over the smileys it makes editing much easier =)

Kashi Go Lean cereal is pretty tasty.

I personally do think it boils into calories in vs calories out but it works in a complicated way. Metabolism definitely plays a part also. For example let's say you eat 800 calories per day, and let's assume that this puts your body in a "starvation" situtation. This slows down your metabolism so as you are only burning 1 calorie per minute for a total of 1440 calories per day. That is a 640 calorie deficit. Now let's assume you eat twice as much for a total of 1600 calories per day. You body is getting all the caloires it needs and your metabolism is fuctioning optimally. Now you are burning 2 calories per hour for a total of 2880 calories for the day. That is a deficit of 1280 calories. You are actually burning more calories and you are eating twice as much. Now I am certainly not a doctor or nutritionist or anything like that but this is the only way it makes sense to me that I lose more weight when I eat more calories.

Hey all. Hope you all had a Merry Christmas. Sorry for going on hiatus for so long, I had a lot of shizz going on. I have been pretty much a food and exercise wreck. No working out. Eating huge amounts of crap. I had to sit myself down after Christmas and get real honest with myself. It is pretty obvious that I am addicted to sugar. Addicted as a drug addict is to his drugs. I can't just have a little bit. This was really brought to light when I was polishing up a huge (think 1 lb size) bag of M&Ms. I was so sick to my stomach yet I kept popping those bitches in my mouth as if I could not get enough. I have been doing a lot of research on it and it seems that I just have to get myself off the stuff. I am now on day three and feeling mighty shitty. Pretty much everything has sugar in it. It basically fucking sucks. But I am not going to be able to lose anymore weight if I don't get off the candy crack. I have read that it takes about 4 days of withdrawal and then on the 5th day you feel much better. Well after today I will be halfway there. I really think I understand now how difficult it is for an alcoholic. Anyhow that has been my past few days. I have enjoyed the biking adventure, and I am way jealous of y'all down there. Ican'y wait until it warms up here.

Another thing I want to add is that as you get smaller it takes less weight to make a difference in how you look. When I was 280 I looked pretty much the same as I did at 250 but now that I am under 200, 10 pounds makes a difference.

I have the complete opposite problem. I think I look exactly the same in the mirror as I always did, yet when I see photos I see a huge difference.

Dear Green, You are forgiven =) Sincerely, Someone who enjoys your posts very much

He won't be charged. From what I have read he is actually only 18 and she is one year and 11 months younger than him. She would have to be 2 years younger than him for him to be charged.

Yeah I am a regular fertile myrtle lol. I did just want to point out that it could be an accident and maybe not stupidity. Though it does just feel sooooo much better without one

Awesome job!!!!!

Okay huge huge huge NSV for me. I got a gift from my bariatric coordinator in the form of a skirt and shirt and knee high boots. The boots went over my calves. The skirt and shirt were a bit snug but fit and were a SIZE 12!!!! Holy effing shit.

I think you have enough time for a betta. But not for any live animals. Oh and thanks for the Bling. I fucking love it. I am only done shopping for the kids. And for my SS though I suck at being a santa because it is not in the mail yet. SO it may be more of a new years gift.

It's my dick on a stick!

JC I see you peeking in on here. Thanks for the gift. It is sitting on my desk at work. I love it!

Yeah but even if she could, she wouldn't since she does bleed scarlet and grey. lol

I am always up bright and early. I work at 5am....blah. Sorry you are having trouble sleeping. I recommend Sleepytime Tea. Gooooood stuff!
