    I obsess over logging my calories on the MPF iPhone App....it's so bad some days that I have the entire day logged before I eat it and am already thinking about the next day. Oh yeah, I also swear at exercise videos.....frequently and particularly when I can't keep up with them.

    I love my workout classes/days so much that on those days (M, W & every other Th), I wear a sports bra and workout shirt with a cardigan and slacks and dress shoes so that I only have to change my pants/shoes to get to class faster.

    I'm afraid to wear Spanx, for fear of looking like a busted can of biscuits.

    I must confess I need NEW spanks..... my old ones are TOO BIG and they don't work at all anymore. THIS IS SUCH AN ACHIEVEMENT FOR ME.....I used to be 400 lbs, and couldn't even get the thing on! MERCY!!!!

    I am TOTALLY A DIFFERENT PERSON NOW!!!!!

    I GIVE ALL THE GLORY TO GOD..... HE ALLOWED ME & EMPOWERED ME TO RISE FROM THE ASHES OF MY LIFE TO THIS NEW ME. HE SET ME FREE FROM OBESITY. PRAISE GOD!

    CONGRATS TO EVERYONE WHO LOSES WEIGHT! YOU ARE WORTH IT!!!!

    There's a girl in my gym's changeroom usually on Thursdays who's always eating out of a bag of oreos. I always wish I could sit and join her. Haha.

    This made me laugh out loud becuase I would probably be drooling and staring at her awkwardly hoping she would invite me to join her!!!

    If you pull your undies down low on your hips, you can see what you look like without a muffin top...that's what I do, plus it makes a pic look better :)

    I know how to use a ponytail holder to hook my jeans closed when they are too tight.

    This is awesome.

    I wear headphone and turn the volume up really loud when I am running because I hate to hear my body clapping at me while running. :sad:
    If I forget my headphone I will not run.

    I love my spanxs. I wear them even with jeans. At this point, I've been wearing them for so long I feel weird without the compression.

    I feel like I've written all these confessions myself.

    I run outside when I can and usually on quiet trails and empty fields so people won't see how awful and slow I look running :laugh:

    When I decided to lose it for real, a year ago, I was doing 30DS & C25K.

    I think I called Jillian Michaels everything BUT a child of God doing those workouts. Loudly. Enough to send the dogs running to the other room. :laugh:


    LMFAO...I even called her a c*nt, which I never use!!!!

    Good Im glad she made me cry on my first go around...Level 2 day one...when I was done...I laid on the floor and cried so she deserves it...

    When I was heavier, I wore three bras to jog in, so there's be no bounce -- a regular bra and two sports bras. One of my NSV moments was the first day I jogged in only TWO bras.

    I yell at Tony Horton (creator of P90X). He'll be on the DVD like, "OOOh, I'm feeling the burn!" and I'll just scream out "THEN HOW DO YOU THINK I FRIGGIN FEEL?!" as I'm sweating and trembling. "I HATE YOU!"

    My husband runs into the garage because he thinks something's wrong. :)

    HAHAHAHAHAHA! I wish my husband had the intuition to run the other way! Stupid dolt gets in my face instead, asking me what's wrong! geez!

    I won't go to the gym or exercise publicly until I lose enough weight at home. Haha

    Also, when I take pictures I angle the camera and my head so you cannot see my double chin.

    for gym - I wear 2 sports bra's to contain the twins but don't wear any knickers under my yoga pants as they are tight enough and I don't like lines!!!

    work wear - I LOVE my spanx pants as they hold me in night and tight

    Going out - my bodysuit that gives me a perfect hourglass shape but its like a straight jacket and it usually takes me about 20 minutes to get INTO it never mind some poor guy trying to get me OUT of it lol - - sexy or what lololol

    I completely agree with the button down shirt thing! It doesn't matter how thin or curvy you are I think all women struggle with the buttons not laying flat and having a gap that shows the bra.

    After reading this thread I REALLY need to get some yoga pants. I feel left behind. :)

    I hate button up shirts.

    Testify, sister!

    AMEN!!!!!!

    Hallelujah!! Button up shirts are the devil!! They never close without a gap and they don't hide jack squat leaving buldges everywhere..unless you leave 'em open!!

    The only good use for a button up shirt is for wearing like a jacket over a t shirt so I can think nobody can see my gut or butt. And of course I only use my husband's denim shirts, because women's shirts don't hit right--I have wide shoulders and wide hips so only men's shirts work for this.

    Heck, I don't even walk outside for exercise. I do DVD's at home. Where I live there are so many skinny little soccer moms jogging, and they look like friggin' greyhounds, they're so skinny. I once saw a jogger mom pushing a jogging stroller, and I heard the kid inside BEGGING to go home, and she said, "Another half mile, we're almost done!" Geez Louise. I take my kid for a walk, but i don't torture them with a four mile jog.

    I have used having boobs as an excuse to not run....or jump...or move too quickly...my whole life.

    I (used) to eat more of my year old daughters snacks than she did. I would actually give them to her just so I could have some.

    I keep a tub of caramel in my fridge for when I just need a damn spoonful of caramel.

    I once had to explain my Spanks to a guy I was hooking up with. I went out with him looking great, forgot I was wearing them to hold everything in, and then when we went to hook up for the first time HE COULDN'T GET THEM OFF! And by then I didn't want him to because I knew I'd have crazy indent lines all over my body from them anyway.

    Talk about a mood killer. (Bridget Jones, anyone?)

    I work out alone at home so I can jiggle freely without being judged! It's pretty neat.

    *jiggles gleefully*

    This is AWESOME unless you have big boobs and try to do yoga while not adequately "supported"... I tried it in a vest and shorts today and damn near drowned in my own tits.

    I have to wear tena lady pads when I skip with a jump rope :blushing:

    I don't think that's a chubby girl confession--that's a woman of childbearing years confession. I have the same problem when I jump on our trampoline.

    I suppose I should find time to do Kegels...

    this...and when I cough...or sneeze...or laugh really hard :grumble:

    My confession is I purposely pick the elliptical or bike next to the oldest person in the gym because it motivates me more! If they're kicking butt at the gym, I have NO excuse not to be sweating it out!
