    I've only had a frozen White Castle, in New Jersey but I do love their Jalapeno Cheeseburgers, although I haven't had them for like 6 months; so I hope they still make them. It seems my favorite anything, either ceases to exist, the business goes out of business or all of the locations near me close. I really miss Ponderosa, Ground Round & Roy Rogers. Oh well I guess that it's good for my diet. Possibly I should make plans to celebrate my weight loss accomplishments, by traveling to whatever still exists. That'll definitely keep me motivated, lol.

    Ok well I guess I'll jump in here.... My name is Emma.... I grew up on the south side of Chicago... I've been married for 33 years. I have to grown and married children. I have lived in the south suburbs of Chicago for 23 years now. I'm trying to lose 50 pounds... And I'll be honest I hate to exercise.... I'm trying to get motivated by listening to other people's stories and hope to learn from a of you....

    Good luck Emma! :)

    Thank you..like I said looking to find how everyone else's got their motivation and where a lazy person starts when it comes to exercise..calories I can count... Going to the gym yikes lol

    The only way I exercise is by going to my personal trainer. I love it. I love circuit training, I love that it's different every time, and I love someone pushing and encouraging me through the whole thing. I also do yoga but that's almost entirely for flexibility because circuit training covers both cardio and strength for me.

    Yep - I like the PT option too. I don't see mine very often though (about once every 4-6 weeks) because I am not made of $$$$$.

    But I like the workout plan she has designed for me - 4 different work-outs per week and it changes every 6 weeks.

    Before I had PT and plan I used to do circuit too - I loved it because you do something different at every station and get the cardio in too. I did circuit classes rather than just going to the circuit room and doing it myself.

    You know - I used to HATE the gym. Now I like it. I do love martial arts though - always been able to stick to doing martial arts classes because you are learnign something different every time and getting strong and fit at the same time. I have done a few styles in the past - started off with Hap Ki Do as a teen, then dabbled in a few karate classes and Muay Thai then I started Capoeira and have stuck to that (until I go pregnant and had baby and no longer have the time to get to class, etc etc :( I still go on occasion when I can make it - it's at night and generally at the same time that daughter wants dinner/bath/sleep - again - not made of $$$$ therefore can't get a sitter to do all that for me every week and husband actually teaches the class so that's no help either!) I hope to get back into it soon - I think as soon as daughter is a little bit older (like in 6 months time!) she will be able to handle the going from daycare to capoeira thing a bit better and maybe she'll even join in for a bit.

    @Nevertoold2015 - go and have a look! They usually offer free trials. The first classes are always terrible in terms of feeling like a complete uncoordinated loser but don't let that be a deterrent because you will soon "get it". And I also have never come across a place where they made me feel bad - always have been lucky to go to places where they encourage beginners and make you feel welcome.

    Strongly recommend it.

    Before I needed to lose weight (blame the baby-weight and subsequent post-natal depression!) I kept fit by martial arts only and I looked just fine in a bikini!

    Dunno how to post photos in the forum threads if I figure it out I can do a post.

    At the "Reply" there's an icon (page with a folded over corner), click that; then click "Chose Files" (if the picture is on your computer), a pop up box of your pictures will appear, click on the picture & then click "Open" (the pop up box, will disappear after) or in "Image URL" (type or copy & paste, the site that it's on). Then click "Post Reply".

    Well part of me is, it's only a small part of my personality but it's still there. No was never in the military.

    That's really funny because from what I have read most narcissistic people won't admit they are a narcissist.


    Even passive aggressive for that reason.

    Yep and they're never wrong either. It's everyone's fault, everyone is the problem.

    I've dumped a couple of woman on that note, hate passive-aggressive beahviour. It's not my job to fix anyone, if they cannot communicate in a sweet and loving way.But, rather resort to mind games and silent treatment.
    Gotta watch the manipulation in a relationship and keep it in check. Some girls are psycho!

    Sorry to budge in but I'm with you 100% it's probabaly the reason I'm not in a relationship. Most of the women I've been with we're pretty sh!tty towards me in the utmost subtle ways, then when I react I'm the one that looks like a dick. I'm a sucka though for some reason I keep letting the same women back into my life, even though she usually comes with her hands tied (got another man) I keep telling myself she's cheating with me cuz I'm special to her and she can't let me go when in reality me and the other dude are probably both getting the same ole line :/ sorry I had to vent.

    Venting is good! Don't be sorry about that. Believe me there is someone out there who shares the same desires in a relationship, I imagine being patient is the hard part. I've been with my husband longer than we have been apart. I had boyfriends before him and tons of crushes but when he came along no one compared. You have to get that mindset or they are not worth your time. Good luck to you and don't be "the other guy" you are better than that. Just my opinion.

    Oh my gosh you guys. 27.5 hours until our race goes live. Had a chance to drive the car last night, and honestly... it's terrifying. Ha ha. I think it will be a lot of fun when I get out on track and get comfortable... but it took me a few runs up and down the highway before I felt ok on the highway... so we'll see. She's fast and she's a rumbly beast. I can't wait to see how she handles on track.

    I did a trial run of all my gear, and my *kitten* is slightly too fat for my race suit :( Not comfortable, but there's no time now to do anything about it. I can get it done up, and my fireproof shorts fit underneath... so that's that. I can't gain any more weight though - No money to replace the $1000 suit. Bah. Oh well. Helmet and Hans device are a cinch to use, so that's great.

    Now I'm on to list making (tools and food) while the boys fix my dead pedal and change the drive shaft. FUN TIMES. ZOMG. RACING.
