I think the first one super cute, but the second will be more flattering.

Asparagus! Roasted or grilled with just a little salt and butter. It tastes so much better than broccoli but no one seems to eat it.

If you look at the bottom of your food diary it tells you the number of calories you have actually eaten and then then the amount earned from exercise and gives you the net.

It doesn't really matter about the tempo. The judges will be looking for something that shows a decent range and some musicality. Up or slow is fine. Just choose what shows the most of what you can do.

First, you have to forgive yourself for getting fat. You sound a lot like me, as in someone who is bitter/angry at times over what has happened to my body. It's ok. It happened, and all that matters now is what you do from here on out. Let's say you binge and eat a pan of brownies. Does that mean your world is going to…

I'm in! I'm down 38 with 70 more to go!

Unless your hair is looking thin I wouldn't be concerned and if you are eating back exercise calories you are getting plenty. It's more likely to be a hormone change. I shed more than my dog all the time.

That is one of the most disturbing things I have ever seen.

I have to third the tracking thing. Some things that you love to eat lose a lot of their appeal when you realize you are eating 1500 at one sitting. Add friends on here, too. Having someone to be accountable to helps keep you honest. If you cheat and you are the only who knows then it's easier to not care. When I know that…

Also, it didn't hurt AT ALL to have it put in. I felt a little dizzy because I was so nervous, but neither removing the old one or putting in the new one hurt in the slightest.

I have my second Mirena (after removing it to conceive #2) and I would never consider anything else. It's easy, no thought goes into it and it's super effective. My personal favorite part? No period. I haven't had on in ages except while I was TTC and I love loooove it!

I'm 5' 7" and a halfish and I am thinking 160 at the lowest. I have JLo's booty and I don't want to be super skinny. I was 160 in HS and I looked awesome.

For instance- Ruby Tuesday grilled chicken salad has 701 calories. Ruby Tuesday Petite sirloin and white cheddar mashed potatoes- 369 calories. Which one would you rather eat?

Most chain restaurants actually have nutrition info online. My favorite thing to get is always a sirloin and baked potato. Surprisingly low in calories but you don't feel like you are being deprived. Just watch the free bread and high fat salad dressings!

There is no evidence that any of these do anything other than cost you money. If you really want to spend money get something more productive like a new workout dvd or a medicine ball. Don't let the spandex skinnys suck you in!!! LOL : )

I'm the same height, and I like a little junk in my trunk, too! I say go with what's comfortable. I was 160 when I was 18 and I was by no means a stick but it's all about your frame. I say aim for the 180. If you get there and decide to keep going you can, but if you are happy there then stay. Either way you be HOT!

You go girl!! Don't you love hitting those markers??

OMG, you are awesome and looking HOT mama!!! Thanks for the inspiration. : )

I have to agree with what everyone else is saying. Counseling is a huge help. I would also recommend the book "The 5 Love Languages" for you guys. It is a huge help and I can't believe the difference it made for me and my hubby. It also sounds like he might need some individual counseling. Dealing with something like…

The same thing happened to me. I did a carb fast to start me out on this journey because I heard it can help break cravings. After it was over I went on a trip for Thanksgiving and so I tried to eat McDonalds. I almost threw up. After a month of only lean meats and veggies it was one of the most disgusting things I have…

I have the same issue. I'm a super taster so I have really hard time with things because they taste really bitter to me. Tip #1 Chinese food. As long as he stuff isn't fried the combo of sauce and a bite of chicken covers the veggie taste and it's very healthy and easy to make at home. Just skip the fried rice and put it…

I want to look hotter than my friend at her wedding this October. Is that awful?? lol

Haters gotta hate. It sounds like someone KNOWS that they are fat and can't stand when someone else is losing weight when they aren't. Don't let someone like that bring you down. If they don't want to make the change, fine. Just smile and think of the day when you'll be the skinny friend. : )

Ooh, Eric Dane is pretty. All the Grey's guys are amazing actually. Total man candy.

John Krasinski (Jim from the Office) Nathan Fillion (Firefly, not Castle) David Boreanez (Bones) Joshua Jackson (Fringe) My girl crush would have to be Sara Ramirez from Grey's Anatomy. She's awesome!!

Good for you! That is amazing. Congratulations, and thanks for the inspiration!

All of us made our bad choices 1 lb at a time and we are all trying to make better choices now so that we can get back to ourselves, 1lb at a time. It seems overwhelming if you look at the big numbers, but this year will pass just the way last year did. Either we'll spend it making good choices and getting healthier, or…

Oh, sure. Rub it in, lol. I'm dying to live there.

I'm from Indiana and I live in Atlanta right now which is pretty nice. I really want to move to Colorado, which is the most beautiful place on earth. It depends on the kind of thing you are into. I can't handle heat, so GA isn't for me, though I think Atl is a cool city.

It happens to everyone, though I cannot scientifically tell you why. Let's just call it a bonus life gives us. I'm hoping for that myself since I just binged like a crazy woman.
