  • Unless my cramps are so horrific, my period has never stopped me from working out, and usually some Pamprin or Midol gets rid of the cramps so I can.
  • Nope. Not working for me either.
  • Definitely believe in love. Love at first sight? When I saw my husband for the first time, I knew something big was going on. We've been inseparable since we met. Best thing about being in a relationship - knowing someone loves you, knowing you can count on someone, having a best friend all the time that you can't wait to…
  • I'm on a medication that causes weight gain, hunger, metabolic syndrome. I gained 50 pounds since first going on it. I can't lower the dose. But I am losing weight. I'm on a LCHF diet and I exercise. I try not to eat back exercise calories and I weigh and measure everything and I track everything. Even if I'm a little over…
  • Stay at home wife :) I take care of the house, the cats and the husband.
  • I pace in my house while I'm home. If I'm cooking and waiting for something to be ready, I pace. If I'm on the phone, I pace. When I was working, I walked during my lunch. If it's raining, go to a mall and walk inside.
  • If you switch to stevia, it's 0 carbs. Get the sweet leaf brand. Pistachios are better than peanuts and take longer to eat. I'm on a 1200 calorie diet and stay under 50 carbs most days.
  • I slept through the night for the first time in months.
  • My husband is supportive of my goals, eats whatever I cook, but isn't too interested in doing any diet/ exercise. He has the classic "don't have time to exercise" mentality, and told me that Dad bods are in. I don't mind how he looks, his weight hasn't changed since we met. I'm the one who gained 50 lbs and he still thinks…
  • I confess that When I had loose skin, nobody minded. Men don't seem to notice loose skin. They notice "OMG, she's naked, I'm so lucky". That being said, I also had my loose skin removed and it was worth every penny. I did it at age 40, I'm almost 47 and even after some weight gain, I've got a tight midsection. When the…
  • Great book. I <3 Stephen King! I can't think of a time in my life that I'd like to revisit. I'm happy I made it this far.
  • I've only done CIZE and lost tons of inches (26) with it, and now after 3 rounds have moved to something harder with weights to burn more calories and fat. I'm doing Les Mills Body Combat because it was on sale but I was going to get T25. I love Sean T.
  • Divorced 2x. Married 4 years to husband #3 and that's a record for me. Like @TheRoadDog said, I am the common denominator in these relationships so I'm working on things :* :* :*
  • Fitbit has been completely off today. Very annoying.
  • When you start an actual workout with the Fitbit Charge, you have to hold the button on the side down to activate the timer. At that point it will start measuring your exercise. When you're finished, press and hold the button again, to end the time. Go to the Fitbit app on your phone and allow it to sync with your watch.…
  • I'm on a 1200 calorie diet and I have eggs every day. I use the boxed eggs bc they're easier and they are great for scrambling. Btw, they are 98% egg whites so a lot of protein. With 2 slices of bacon and my coffee and low fat half n half, my breakfasts are just over 200 calories with 6-8 carbs coming from my coffee…
  • OMG your face, your collar bone, your smile!!! You look incredible and you look happy. Congratulations!!!
  • I gained weight on an antipsychotic as well. When I went off of it, it took a few months, but I did lose the weight. However, I am now back on that same drug, higher dose, gained even more weight, but I am losing weight! It is NOT easy. I eat a LCHF diet and exercise 5-6 times a week. If I am not vigilant I do not lose. If…
  • I took piano and totally regret not sticking with it. I sang in choirs for years. Husband is the musician playing guitar in a popular cover band now but writes his own too.
  • I take vitamin d in the morning and iron mid day, both for deficiencies.
  • It depends on your goals. Weight loss, bulking. You can get Dumbbells pretty cheap to start; fitness bands, even jump ropes. People use all kinds of videos at home, either DVDs or streaming on YouTube. I've been doing mainly cardio with a lot of success but just upped it to more of a mixed martial arts routine with some…
  • Be vigilant and be safe. We, or at least I appreciate what you do for us every day.
  • Reading Cooking Exercise Crafts
  • New Jersey !!!! B)
  • Bacon cheeseburger turkey meatloaf ! It was delicious!
  • I don't have cheat days, I have cheat vacations. I gained 5 pounds in 9 days eating cupcakes, ice cream, and bread along with regular eating. I shudder to think how many calories and worse how many carbs I ate; saltine crackers with oysters ..... Now I'm back to the straight and narrow, 1200 calories and >50 carbs. Lost…
  • Cardio is a fat burner, right? Many many years ago I took some fat burner thing called Stacker 2. I thought my heart was going to burst through my chest. Now I get that same feeling when I do Burpees, and they're free!
  • No, you don't look ill. You are a pretty, healthy looking girl, and I like your tattoo. You're coworkers are either mean spirited or jealous. Don't listen to them. Congrats on the huge loss too. That's fantastic!!!
  • I like seeing my exercise calories even if I don't eat them. It's like having a reward at the end of the night knowing that I COULD eat more calories and stay within goal but I'm not.
