Yeah, he's litter box trained. He's what we call a house rabbit. Has free run of the house for the most part, but only when we're at home and can keep an eye on him. This is my third bunny that's litter box trained and he's super good about it. He's 4 years old and has never had an accident. The key is to get them when they're little, like 8 weeks of age. I always put them in a bare cage with nothing on the plastic floor and a litter box with straw litter pellets. If they use another area, I just wipe it up with a paper towel and shove the used paper towel in the litter. They want to pee and poop where they smell their past deeds. Usually after they're consistently using the litter box for at least a couple weeks with no accidents outside of the box, you can start letting them out to explore the house. But keep in mind they will get into stuff like little kids and you always have to watch them. I have also trained him to come when I call his name and crinkle his bag of treats. Unfortunately, these days if you so much as touch a bag of chips or anything that makes that sound, you'll have an eager rabbit instantly at your feet and licking his chops.
Since I've talked so much about him, here's what he looks like:
doing what he does best, begging for treats
just like a cat, he always find the most comfy spot in the house
if you're wondering what kind of rabbit he is, he's a mini rex
What a CUTIE PIE!!!
He looks like the velveteen rabbit. Lucas (my 3yo) loves bunnies & guinea pigs. I've thought that maybe after Zoe goes (yes my screen name is after my dog 
) I'd like to get one of those for him. I had a guinea pig for 5 years, he was a sweetie. I'd like to try a rabbit just because I've heard they can be litter trained.Oh boy, I binged at lunch
I think I ate like 20 points worth of pizza buffet. Guess I'll be eating letuce the rest of the day 
We have tons of fun here so I hope you'll feel like you fit right in.
I hope these numbers shrink A LOT after a month of the strength training. I'm not measuring myself again until the four weeks are done. It's too hard on my ego (yeah, like THAT'S fragile!! 
).
I'm down 15 pounds as of this morning and I THOUGHT I could see results in my belly!! I celebrated by wearing one of my new shirts today.
) I pick out something that fits and wear it for the first time. 
I also ordered six or seven things on ebay (earrings, pendants) that should be arriving over the next few weeks. The shoes were $25 each, and the jewelry was like $8 total for all six items. I love buying costume jewelry on ebay.
) may I suggest that you reward yourself for all your hard work with small items that you feel would be treats for yourself. If money is an issue, perhaps hitting the dollar store and stocking up on little knick knacks is an idea. I like ebay though, if you're diligent...your dollar can go pretty far.

I did read somewhere that if you don't get enough sleep it can hinder weight loss.
There are kinks all over this thread. Or maybe that's kooks. Wait, that's me.
Laura! Glad you found us!! 
in case you haven't picked up on it.
. It also made me motivated to try to keep it down there.
...had 3 "tastes" , 7 pieces of bruschetta, 4 pieces fried asparagus
They're so hot!! I can't wait to wear them.
