I wear compression shorts if I know I'm going to be doing these types of exercises, specifically so my butt won't "clap."
It's just cheering you on.

I thought this group would appreciate these. They cracked me up.

Awesome job. I want to climb a mountain too!lilaclovebird wrote: »@Alatariel75 It just needed to be said...
Confession #1: I couldn't leave the thread. There has been too much awesome support and too many valid discussions.
Confession #2: I totally judged @riinbale for their post. Sometimes it is not WHAT you say but HOW you say it and I feel they said it wrong.
Confession #3: I am happy to report that Dale, the diabetic at my job that I complained about earlier, will now be reporting to Kim(our main staff nurse) for regular monthly check ups and diet education as part of our Employee Health and Wellness and Early Intervention programs at the request of the lieutenant and the insistence of his own girlfriend. While it is not mandatory or remotely required for him to keep his job, I hope he takes full advantage of the opportunity and I am sincerely hoping for improvements in his health and job performance.
I just read it as someone who was trying to promote low-carb. I considered flagging it, but I couldn't be bothered quite frankly. lol
Me too, I just decided to ignore it. I don't feel bad for me, I love me and I get to eat whatever I want.
Yup. Love my cookies, chocolate and ice cream, and they make me happy.

Yesterday I ate everything. Reeses Pieces, Cadbury's Picnic bar, Jaffa Cakes, and a cookie. I also didn't go to the gym or go for a run after work. Then I thought it would be a great idea to weigh myself this morning and I'm back up to 214lbs. So I went for a swim this morning and finished 5 minutes early. I feel really tired, and I think my 'go to' is sugar. I feel like having a nap at my desk right now and its only 9.50am.
You can't go wrong with sweets:D. What does a Jaffa cake taste like?
Hopefully your work day will go flying by.
Ha ha Uh, I can't really describe it. I disassemble them anyway, chocolate edge first and then take the jelly off, eat the cakey bit and the orange jelly last. I don't play with my food normally but it seems to be a habit with Jaffa Cakes. Its a bit like eating the chocolate edge off a Kit-Kat first.0 -

I confess that I am concerned with some of the judgment that is cropping up on our awesome NO JUDGMENT thread. Don't make me bake brownies again, people!0

I'm not having a very good day. Total pity party and tears over my parenting failures. I guess it's a good thing that I decided to go for a walk instead of digging in the ice cream stash.Confession:
If I need to pass gas while I'm at work I'll walk past the men's restroom as I do it... I've smelled some interesting odors coming from within so I figure nobody will think anything of it.
This month's issue of Health reports on a study that people who join a site like this one and friend people lose more weight than people who are not involved on a site like this. I'm not near the article and I have not looked up the original study (as magazines often get some details wrong in my opinion) but for what it's worth, being here seems like a healthy thing.
So what are you waiting for? I am very good at accepting friend requests. Friend me, lose weight, sounds like a win win. (Disclaimer, no guarantee that friending me will cause actual weight loss).
I would say that it is very true for me. I have been more successful losing weight and working out since joining this site than with any other method. My friends that live close IRL aren't interested in losing weight and working out, but this site, this thread in particular and the people I've connected with here have inspired me! You guys are awesome! Thanks!0 -

It is awful, but it could be something that sets you up for the rest of your life as well. Weird how these things go isnt it?!
Anyway, you are super and I have hope it will work out for you tremendously.
Thankyou very much. I've always been uncertain about my future but for the first time I'm starting to feel like I have some kind of direction0 -
I have been reading this and i feel sad for you People, i know what it is like to count calories and binge eat and how it feels later. But going on a low carb diet made it all go away. No more longing for "something good" and no more going to five different stores to find the right kind of ice cream. I just dont want these anymore and i am happy with eating low carb food. And my health has never been better
I quite enjoyed this while eating my whole-wheat crust pizza and will read it again while eating my fat free Dreyers yogurt blend ice cream.
And post a loss at tomorrow's weigh in.

Scars ARE kind of badass!
Scars are tattoos with better stories. We saw that tshirt a couple of weeks ago.
I have said this for years as well!
I confess that I like what Ron White says about tattoos:
"Tattoos are permanent stupidity bruises."
Lol. Yeah, I definitely have one "stupidity bruise" out of the six tattoos I have. A bit of "ragret" there. But overall, I prefer a quote that I read somewhere once: "The body is a temple, so why not decorate the walls?"
Haha. Personally, I echo what LBuehrle said above - they're not for me, but I've seen tons of cool ones. No judgment here!
(1) My son had open heart surgery at 3 days and 3 years. He also had a feeding tube. He is in his teen years and looks like someone slashed him good and riddled him with bullets across the stomach while they were at it. I've always encouraged him to be proud of those scars -- they are why he lives!
(2) I LOVE my tattoos. They don't show unless I'm in a bikini (across the lower back and all the way up the left side.) I thought about them for a long time, chose my artists carefully, and I did it for me. I know some may judge me for it but its been 20 years since the first one and I have not had one second of regret. They are beautiful, they are very much fine art (the artists I chose were all good and at least one was a trained artist). They are actually four artists but look as if one person did them, all in the same style and theme and colors. There is no deep meaning to them but I really like them!
I had always wanted a tattoo and finally got one just before my 50th birthday. I got a Lily tattooed on the back of my right shoulder and I LOVE it! Bonus: my daughter is having a baby girl in late July and her name is going to be Lily!0 -

Thank you it wasn't the mountain mountain though, just a baby, practice mountain climb - this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pen_y_Fan which actually has three peaks to it, and is where the british army do selection training.
I have 6 weeks until my proper mountain climb. EEEEEK!kellienw335 wrote: »I'm not having a very good day. Total pity party and tears over my parenting failures. I guess it's a good thing that I decided to go for a walk instead of digging in the ice cream stash.Confession:

This is how I feel. No one i know IRL is that focused on getting fit and dumping the lbs, so its great to be able to come here and be inspired by others. Its also good to be able to share some shameful secrets (the binge eating mostly) and know I am not alone. It has really helped keep me on track.

Oh dear god I agree! I was a corrections officer for three years and I saw all kinds of hideous, horrible tattoos! I've thought about it but they're just not my thing I think after a year or so I'd get bored with whatever it was and want it off of me! This is not to say that I dislike them I think some people have really neat and amazing tattoos!
Ps I was watching Tattoo Nightmares at the gym today! Love that show!
I have a very small and tasteful tattoo of my daughter's name in a really pretty script on the inside of my right wrist. I LOVE it! It hurt like hell, but I'd do it again. I want more, but I'm terrified of needles, so I don't know if it will happen or not.

Parenting is so hard, I am taking every effort to never have to do it.
And think about it, parenting with TWO parents is hard... and single parents...woah. AND if everyone is working?!
Everyone else can go ahead and make successful and wonderful humans. I do not feel strong enough to partake in that endeavor.
ETA: I am serious about everything in this post. I see parenting as very difficult. It takes skills and abilities that I am pretty sure I do not possess.
That is all right. I joke I had five to cover for a few women that didn't want to have the 1.3 children. I got you covered0 -

We ALL feel like that sometimes. I have cried several times about parenting decisions I've made. Just do the best you can and your kids will be fine. Hugs.

1. I got way too excited when I measured out exactly 28 grams of pretzel things jut by grabbing a handful out of the bag this morning.
2. I am contemplating trying a wrap because my best friend just signed up to be a distributor and she can get a box for free if I sign up as a loyal customer. I want a flat stomach for my Florida vacation.
#1 - Awesome!
#2 - I think, as long as you are doing it for short term and know it's not the final answer to weight loss, it's fine.
I tend to agree with Quik on #2. You know it's purely for vanity, and that you can't do it forever, so what's the harm?0
