Mel- I have read that if you eat less than 1200 cal a day you are shutting down your metabolism and you will stop losing weight! You body will go into starvation mood, best thing to do it stay between 1200 and 1500!

Susan- you look so skinny on those pictures!!! Go SEXY mama!!!

SUSAN... I looked at the wedding pictures and they are very good! You are SO pretty and SO tiny! You have a very nice looking family too!

Why thank you!

SUSAN... You are very welcome! You should put a picture on here for your avatar so everyone can see how pretty you are!!!

Please excuse me while I get on my soapbox.
You should never be hungry!

One of the reasons we stop everything and start filling our faces is hunger. From your calorie range you must learn how to find the biggest food for your calorie buck. You must learn to eat foods that keep you full longer. You must learn to eat often enough that you don't get ravenously hungry. My stomach very very very seldom growls. It didn't even on 1200 cals.


Oh and here's the old me.

Michelle? I don't know how to make a pic small enough for an avatar

Susan.....Wow you look wonderful....what an inspiration!!! Beautiful family too.

SUSAN... Whatever picture you put in the avatar location, it automatically sizes it down. Atleast for me it did, and it even shrunk mine down more than others and I don't know why, but it did.

Susan, beautiful wedding pics. You look "mahvelus"! I figured out how to get a pic on my avatar yesterday and I am NOT computer literate at all. I couldn't believe I didn't need my DH help! I did not have to "shrink" down my picture at all. I just brought it up from the file and it automatically made the picture fit. So glad to find this thread and looking forward to being a part of it everyday.

I havent been on in calorie range as much this week because of of the "PMS-Monster" coming out.I have been on track under my range(1300-1700) the past couple of days now and I am back to normal. My appitite just shoots through the roof during that time.Any suggestions???

RIPPLES... Your pic is SO cute! When you put your pic on, did it just automatically size it for you? Mine used to be larger, and I've noticed some other people's avatars are much larger than mine, but one day, it just shrunk down on it's own and I still don't know why?

Susan- Just open the picture on pain and scale it down! Then add to the avatar!

Ya know what? I'm not that excited about looking at my own old wrinkled mug every day. Maybe one of these days I'll try it. Maybe when the 'good' wedding pictures are all ready!

Thanks Michelle. It "shrunk" by itself. I just brought up the file and it was sized down -doesn't seem to have cropped any out of my original. This is my new baby Layla (DH is a Clapton fan) DD took me to Petsmart back in Nov.We were supposed to be buying DOGFOOD for our spoiled dogs LOL!! Couldn't resist her. She was a shelter kitten. I missed my old black cat Bear so much-she was 20 yrs old when we had her put down last year. This one is just beautiful. They call her a Tortie-she looks like a black calico to me-which is funny b/c Bears mommy was a calico so we figure she's a cross of each. She's black w/brown mottling. Funny thing is she looks a lot like our 7 yr. old shelter mutt! She LOVES the plants as you can see! Thanks.
