What's up girls.

Ok so I just joined this site and I see a lot of different groups but I think we should take a hint from my girl Beyonce and make a group just for those girls who are single. I am losing weight for no one but myself and my whole goal is not about making guys stare as I walk by. However, should that be a natural consequence of my becoming ever-sexier, who am I to stop it :wink:

So join me if you want to amp-up your sex appeal and start feeling more like the goddess you were created to be. My name's Michelle and I'd love to join you in that endeavor!!!

    I'm with you Michelle!!! :drinker: Part of my goal in this weightloss journey is to learn to love me for who I am at every size I am!!! But if some fabulous guy wants to love me too who am I to stop him. :smooched: :bigsmile: :blushing: Unfortunately I'm am a pretty shy person so meeting people is incredibly hard for me. I'll take any advice people have to offer as far as how to get out there and meet some nice guys. I'm not a clubber and I don't drink or smoke, so where do I go to meet someone??:huh:

    I agree weightloss is all about doing it for yourself but even a smile from a cute guy can put a spring in your step LOL!

    I am IN!!! This sounds great. Are we just sharing our goals, are we making group goals/challenges?? And will we be sharing our head turner experiences???? :wink: LOL
    I am shy too leshawn, but I think her idea for this group it to have confidence in self, and doing it all for your own satisfaction. But I know from experience..guys are attracted to women that are confident, you don't have to approach them, they usually approach. You will get approached and swept off your feet soon.

    Hi Michelle! What a great idea. I am all for supporting all the single ladies like me.

    I decided in January that I was going to be "Fabulous at Forty" (not til next September, but wanted to give me plenty of time). I am doing this for me and for my health, not for some man. If a man didn't want me when I was heavy then he doesn't get me when I'm not. :wink: :laugh: :drinker:

    Welcome to the site!

    Threads on this board put songs in my head all day long!!!

    This one of course makes me sing "Single Ladies".
    "When was the last time...." makes me sing a song of the same title by Gnarles Barkley which goes "Wheeeeeeeeeen was the last time you danced?":bigsmile:

    I'm in! My plan when I started was to be fabulous by forty. I have another 3.5 years to make it so! I'm doing this solely for me and my health. But looking hot in a tankini will be a plus.

    Everytime I watch Beyonce's video, I am inspired by her to look fabolous and to care for my body and lifestyle, and improve my self confidence.
    I hope this weight loss challenge help me to be more confident and less shy.

    Hi girls!!!

    This is great that so many of us want to work our way towards a Beyonce-style bod!!!

    Ok here is my challenge to every one of you this week: do one thing every day that makes you feel sexy. That doesn't mean you have to go crazy and hook up with random people, that's not what I'm talking about. I mean do some little thing, maybe even something nobody else will know about, that you do just to pamper yourself.

    I started with mine today -- I took a kickboxing class instead of doing my normal routing of treadmill and weights. Why, you ask? BECAUSE I FELT LIKE A SEXY *kitten* that's why! The class was held in this room with mirrors all around, so I was seeing myself the whole time. But instead of thinking about how I wished my thighs would jiggle less when I kicked or my butt felt tighter when I squatted, I thought about how strong my arms looked (I was wearing a tanktop) when I jabbed and upper-cutted and such. And then I got all drenched in sweat and I felt even sexier! :drinker:

    So start tomorrow (heck, start tonight if you can). It'll be really fun to swap ideas for how to make our normal routine sexier!!! Tell me what you think!

    so where do I go to meet someone??:huh:

    Church.

    Depends on the church. If you join a church with nothing but families with young kids, you will probably meet people, but the chances of one of them being a single guy are not too likely, unless one of the family types has a brother or brother in law.

    I didn't join a church to meet anyone, and it is a good thing because I have attended at three different locations and all I keep meeting are married couples !!! :laugh: :laugh:

    I hope your experience is more fruitful.

    I am doing MFP for "me" and the only one likely to share in the positive results might be someone I knew 20 years ago that I recently reconnected with, but regardless of whether that works or not, I intend to be considered "fit" and maybe even "thin" for the first time in my life, before I am too old to appreciate the feeling!!!:drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

    Ok so I'm back on here real quick to comment on one thing -- the whole "meeting someone" issue.

    Now I know I'm only 21 and I don't know much about love, but I do know that people walk into your life when you are not actively searching them out. I'd say get involved in cool things -- take a salsa dancing class, join a book club, run a 5k, etc. That way you'll find like-minded people who are doing cool things, too. No matter what age you are, you're never too young or too old to do awesome things with your time. And filling your life with awesomeness may or may not result in a guy walking into your path, but when he does you'll be sexy and confident enough to be ready for it!

    I agree. I have been in the church all my life (I am a PK) and haven't met a keeper. But the fact that my dad keeps a shotgun in the pulpit maybe a contributing factor..:laugh: Just kidding.

    Be you, Become confident, and Become whole (if you are not) if you are all of these things, life will be awesome whether you find a husband or not. :flowerforyou:

    Hey folks!!!

    I love the challenge!! Now I just have to think of something to do today that will make me feel sexy...I'll find something!!! Thanks for the advice about meeting someone. I am active in my church and all I meet are guys who are waaayyyy to young for me and older married couples. But I love my church so ofcourse I'm not willing to switch churches just for that (that would be crazy and totally defeat the purpose of going to church). But I did find out about a group that has a "play date" once a month. Its a way for single people to get together and get to know each other in a less stressful environment. You play games from your childhood (UNO, twister, monopoly, etc). So I'm gonna go to that right before Thanksgiving and I'm going to try to go to a jazz club too.

    I know how sexy I feel is a state of mind. So I'm working on making my mind up that I am sexy and fabulous now and any weight loss in the future will just increase my sexy!!!

    Now lets get out there ladies and get our sexy on!!!! :drinker: :smooched: :laugh:

    Hey ladies --

    So here's how I got my sexy on today: I ran five miles! Woohoo it felt awesome!

    I hope all of you found ways to make your day sexy, too! Tell us what you did!!!

    Hi Michelle,

    I think its awesome that you thought to create such a great group. I recently took a hiatus from dating in order to take the time to work on myself. I found that as much as I worked out and wanted to lose weight it was hard while putting myself out there at the same time because that often included drinks, dining out, etc. So, I am taking a personal period that is all about me and getting my life and health on track. How I make myself feel sexier everyday is by working out. I am currently doing Chalean Extreme and always feel awesome after my workout.

    Kimberly

    I did the same thing last year -- I vowed a year of singleness because I was just hopping around from temporary high to temporary high, never fully content with anything I was doing because I hadn't taken time to work on myself. The year of singleness came and went, and I dated a little, but this year I still found myself wanting to just take a little more "me" time. I so admire what you're doing and I'm right here with you!!!

    I totally know what you mean about the whole drinks/eating out/high in calories aka bad for you stuff. I have these amazing friends who always want to meet up for margaritas or for dinner etc etc and since I don't want to isolate myself and lose my friends, I go. But it is very difficult (and even presents an awkward social situation when I have to be all like "no margarita for me at margarita night, guys...") to just order lame water or diet coke (I don't even like to drink diet coke because it stains your teeth and I'm a pre-Dental student haha). Just keep telling yourself that this is a temporary measure -- that short term sacrifice is going to give you lifelong success.

    I'm so proud of you, Kimberly! And I'm glad to be in this with you.

    Michelle :)

    What's up girls,

    How did y'all get your sexy on today??? I'm not getting as many great ideas as I had hoped because not enough of us are sharing our sexiness!

    Today I played tennis for two hours and it was a really good day for me precision-wise with hitting/serving. It felt so awesome. And as an extra super sexy measure, I wore my cutest tennis outfit! Loved it :heart:

    Hope everyone else found a way to incorporate some sexy into their day!

    Michelle :smile:

    I am getting my sexy on today by wearing one of my favorite shirts!!! Its my favorite because I look nice in it and now it shows off my fabulous new shoulders!!! My shoulders are looking great in part to me doing the 100 push up challenge. I also feel sexy in my nice new hair do (spiral curls over my head)!! Finally, I am trying to get in my 80 oz of water today. So feel sexy everyone!!!

    Michelle thanks again for starting this forum!!!
