For me, thighs and butt were the first place I lost.  Now, if I could only get the fat off my waist and chest...

Mocha with Jack Daniel's.  Standard for weekends and camping trips.

But obviously not lo-cal.

Fish only smells "fishy" when it's spoiling.  Your choices are wide open, as long as you buy fresh fish.  My personal favorites are swordfish and halibut. 

Not to hijack the thread, and I certainly don't believe that dreams "mean" anything (other than random synapse firings influenced by memories and experiences), but I've always heard that when you "die" in a dream, you die in real life.  I'm here to announce that this is absolutely NOT true, as I have died 3 times in dreams, and twice in the last week!

Once, as a kid, I was torn to pieces by a vicious ringtail.

Last Sunday, I was on an underwater salvage operation, my scuba regulator failed, and I took a deep breath of seawater before I could swim to the surface.

And Tuesday night, I received a rifle bullet through the skull.  Gene Hackman was the shooter.  It was a solid hit, and though I clamped my hand over the entry wound to stop the bloodflow, I didn't make it to the hospital.

Just thought I'd share.

I didn't have any trouble staying motivated in the beginning because I was consistently losing weight.  I'm have trouble staying motivated not because nothing's really happened all summer.  Everything I do results in the same thing.  No weight loss on ly staying the same.

 I second this view.  I've been at it for 10 months and have lost 52 pounds.  But now, instead of 6 or 8 pounds lost each month, I'm lucky if it's 2!  It was easy to stay motivated when the weight was falling off; I was also allowed to eat quite a bit more (2400 cal/day) when I started.  Now that I've lost a bunch of weight, I have to stay below 1800 cal/day, and that is EXTREMELY difficult for me! 

It shouldn't really matter.  As far as I'm concerned, I don't pay attention to the actual amount of any one component as long as I'm eating a balanced diet and not going over my calorie budget.  I still eat all the foods I used to eat, just in smaller amounts. 

I got carded regularly until I was in my mid-30s.  I am now 46 and people consistently think I'm at least 10 years younger.  Not a problem for me.

Too bad I can't see video at work...

Why would you NOT want to eat carbs?  Carbs are a very necessary part of a healthy diet.

You also say you've gained 4 lbs.  In how much time?  It's not unusual to gain a few pounds the first few weeks after starting a new "diet."

As dolphinclick stated, you would need to provide more info.

Maybe not, but the only way to do a job right is with the correct tools.

OK, I'm afraid I just don't get it (something that doesn't happen very often).  Can someone please explain what this is, and it's significance?  I'd appreciate it. 

 perhaps this will help you understand. a reading from Psalms 23:

Ceiling Cat iz mai sheprd (which is funni if u knowz teh joek about herdin catz LOL.)

Coincidentally Jules, the 23rd was the first thing I went to after reading the Genesis chapter.  It explains nothing.  Yes, I understand that "Ceiling Cat" is "God," etc.; what I don't get is the language, the painful spelling, the point of view (some kind of cat, I presume).  Is it supposed to be as if a cat wrote the Bible?  Then yes, someone has way too much time on their hands, and now my head hurts from trying to read it!
