tapping, nail-biting, people talking on their phones while you're spending time with them, tailgating, arrogant people who think they're better than everyone else, people with no regard for others.

YES! I find the phone thing extremely rude! In fact, one friend did it to me constantly and I just stopped hanging out with her. People who do that are just rude and obnoxious.

Way to go, everyone! Keep up the amazing work!

I agree with this for the most part, but in certain special circumstances like mine where the person has dementia and cannot remember, it is very difficult. I've tried on so many occasions to tell my grandmother why I can't eat that stuff, but can't seem to get through. And even if I could, she'd only forget it anyway and…

You and I are in the same boat! As a live-in caregiver for my grandmother, I completely understand your situation, I don't begrudge her a thing on this Earth- at 92, she's earned it. But the struggle is so real sometimes! All she's interested in is fast food and junk food. Fine for her, but I can't really eat that. The…

I hear ya, it's the same way with me and cookies- at one point, things got so bad that I decided to give them up for Lent. Best thing I could have done for myself- 40 days and nights of no cookies, boom- problem is solved. It's not an eating disorder per se, but it's definitely a problem.

It depends on what you're trying to do. They all work and do the job to help you lose weight and get in shape, but it depends on what you are trying to accomplish. The rower is good for the core muscles. I use it for the 10-20 minute cardio portion of my workout (alternating days between that, the elliptical and the Stair…

roasted pork tenderloin with some sauteed broccoli rabe and potatoes. One of my favorite meals! :)

Congratulations! That is a big achievement and you should be very proud!

Oh good I'm not the only one who's had an embarrassing moment at the gym! One time, I tried using the assisted lift chin up machine. I thought I had it on the right weight level (I didn't) and when I climbed onto the platform, it sunk down like a stone. I dangled from the bar for a moment as I figured out how to carefully…

I'm in, let's do this thing! 12 pounds in 12 weeks! SW = 355 CW = 240 GW = 180

Jeff Lynne/ELO is a good one! AND he'll be joined with George Harrison's son Dhani on tour. Dhani Harrison is a fantastic musician in his own right. Enjoy the show!

So far, it's an even toss up between Roger Daltrey at Bethel Woods and Ringo Starr at Radio City. I called out to Ringo "I love you, Ringo!" and he stopped the show to respond. Such a cool moment! This year, I've got tickets to see the Rolling Stones. So looking forward to that, and the Who is coming to Jones Beach.

Today's a rest day- just doing some cardio. Got a half hour in on the elliptical machine this morning before work and walking throughout the day.

Apparently Skinny Cow has a "No Sugar Added" version that has only 5 grams of sugar. https://www.skinnycow.com/products/frozen-treats/sandwiches/no-sugar-added-vanilla-gone-wild/ Personally, I prefer Halo Top ice cream.

Just looked this up- Yikes! That Skinny Cow Protein bar has 60 grams of sugar! Is it even worth it at that point?

Better still: make him go on the elliptical for whatever amount of time it takes to burn off the calories of a slice of cheesecake. That'll straighten him out once and for all! Hahaha.

It happens- you lose the weight, and then something happens to derail or tempt your progress and hard work. But don't worry- you can always get right back on track at the next meal and lose the weight. You will get there, you got this. Don't get discouraged. Don't quit! You can do it!

You're very welcome, and no- it's not just you! You are definitely not alone on this one. We've all been there in one form or another: just trying to do our thing, doing our best to stay healthy and then something comes up to tempt and derail us. It definitely happens!

I used to do the same thing! I'd drive past Dunkin Donuts and think "hrm, donuts sound great right about now!" and then the temptation would get to the point where I just had to have one. I'm so thankful it's not just me and I'm not alone in this. A friend used to tease me about it. She'd go "I have mind control- you are…

You have to do what is best for you. If throwing out fries gets you to your goal, then that's what has to be done. Maybe next time suggest hubby gets a small order of them, or maybe skip it altogether. I go through something similar with my grandmother- with good intentions she brings me home a sandwich from the drive-thru…

Must have been some damn good cake. LOL. That would not be me, and I love cake!

I know how hard this is, but you have to do what's best for you and your health. Saying no is difficult because of the guilt, but the guilt will eventually subside. Stand your ground, eat healthy and keep your eyes on the prize.

You are not alone, I understand this scenario all too well. You don't know how grateful I am to have read this and found that someone understands what I'm dealing with. It can be a real struggle being a health-conscious person living with a "regular". I live with my grandmother to help her out and she does the same exact…

I can relate to all of this. One great thing I've learned: eat high protein early on in the day. This helps to curb cravings later on in the day.

Well, here I go again. The definition of a serial starter! My weight loss stalled due to a series of really stressful situations. Back in Thanksgiving of 2018, I was down to my lowest weight, 229 lbs. As of today, I am at 240 lbs. A gain of 11 pounds is not really all that bad considering the hell I'd gone through this…

Yes, I saw that on the Weather Channel! That is absolutely crazy! Please be careful out there. Congratulations on your daughters' wedding! Visualization is such a great motivator, isn't it?

You'll get there, hickchic, just keep at it. One step at a time. When I first got a Fitbit, I didn't hit 10K steps a day. I had to work up to it as well. Keep going, you will get there. And be safe!

Yep, it happens to everyone at some point. We all go through bad days, hard times, ups and downs in life. I recently lost my mother to cancer, which sent me into a depression. Despite my best intentions, I fell off course and binged. At the same time, I eased up on myself, and I allowed myself space to grieve and process…
