Have been through the exact same conversation with a friend and his wife who both had gastric bypass surgery. They were hoping to save their marriage by losing the weight together, supporting one another, etc. They are still married, but found the same things... they were depressed and miserable for quite some time after…

Could probably calculate myself... but this seems like it would be high in sugar and sodium. Perhaps just no salt added tomato sauce instead of ketchup and reduced sodium soy sauce (a smidge less of that) and add in some veg to bulk it up... celery, bell pepper, onion and zucchini. All of those take on other flavors really…

I like a man with strong hands... hands that aren't exactly banged up but that look like they put in a hard day's work. That and a guy with thick full lips... wooooo that's schmexxxxay!

I always make it known that my focus is on making better choices and that I'm in control of my current destiny much more so than I had been in the past. In my past, there are other negative choices that I made and I've worked to correct those... so segwaying into weight loss isn't a problem for me when meeting new people.…

I still see myself as big as I used to be. I have a difficult time shopping for clothes in the correct size. I find myself still picking out something that was in my old size and clothing to cover up my body. I used to wear all stretch fabrics and pants with elastic waistbands and tent-like shirts to try to look smaller…

I didn't get sober in the rooms of AA or NA but they helped keep me that way along with a couple of great sponsors. Ive been clean & sober 10+ yrs. What's the struggle today... don't be shy - inbox me

You could modify the lunch I had yesterday: 1 bag of Nasoya zero plus pasta (fetuccini style) 6 oz. - 99% fat free ground turkey breast 1/2 can (149 g) - Campbell's - Ready to Serve Cream of Mushroom Low Sodium Soup 7 oz. - Fresh Selections, Whole White Mushrooms 5 oz. - Yellow Onion That would be about 395-400 calories…

My big calves are a very muscular & sexy 19". When I was at my highest weight (327), they were 25". Now that is the size of my thigh! My calves will never be very small because of my build but I'm okay with that. ETA : I'm 5'5" & 235-240 lbs right now.

I need mine or I go way over on estimations and such... like waaaay waaaaaaay over. I find mine highly useful

Love this post! I grew up in a household where my female role models were either my grandmothers who were products of The Great Depression and relied heavily on food as a form of love... "if you love grandma, please eat these last two biscuits" -- a young child thinks, "of course i love grandma!" and overeats. Not to set…

Hm, taco waffles... i might be down for that. I do prefer a waffle burger though. I make mine with a grilled handpressed burger patty, 2 low fat eggo plain waffles, some greek cream cheese, ketchup, pickles and a few jalapenos... sometimes a bit of guacamole and bacon. Those suckers are good

My children are very supportive.... however, the rest of my family is not. My mother will refuse to cook herself her own dinner if she doesn't like what I cook and then stomp and huff and pout about it like a child. I ignore her and let her know that there's plenty of veg in the fridge, lean protein in the freezer and…

In my household, we spank. It is my choice as a parent and it is befitting to the wrong-doing. For those who were spanked as a child and said that they don't spank because their childhood experience of receiving a spanking 'didn't feel good' - SPOT ON... it's not supposed to make the child happy or reinforce good behavior.…

I want my kids to go to bed on time without arguing while I have someone run me a hot bubble bath and I have a fresh, hot What-A-Burger double cheeseburger with jalapenos, extra mayo & a large french fries with mayo to drip them in and a dr. pepper with only a little bit of ice. Then I'd barf because I haven't eaten like…

I'm the mother of multiplies (9 yr old fraternal boy twins). Feel free to add me!

My preferences: Facial hair acceptable and highly recommended for those who can do so with their work requirements Chest, back, legs, pits, belly, forearms can be as is Downtown can get a trim on occasion around the twig zone, however, I do like some hair-free berries cause I have a fetish for that look, feel and oral…

Nice stripes there :)

More power to all the SAHM/Ds. I wouldn't trade my life for any other... because I make it what I want it to be. I'm a single parent and have been since I was 2 months pregnant. That is never likely to change, so staying home to raise my kids is not an option without starting my own business (I'm not in a field or economic…

I love my workout classes/days so much that on those days (M, W & every other Th), I wear a sports bra and workout shirt with a cardigan and slacks and dress shoes so that I only have to change my pants/shoes to get to class faster.

Native Texan here... born & raised in southeast Texas, near Beaumont (The Golden Triangle area)!

First: Boobs Mid-Range: Back (lovehandles) Last: Just above the natural waistline - it's like a "rainshelf" of fat above my belly button... it was there as long as I can remember... even back to age 7 or 8 when I was an obese child.

IDK, but Libra and Aquarius have some sexxxay boobies there... yum! Can I just eat them?

Holy moly at the processed food and sodium in your diary! Bread, cheese and processed meat is rough on those numbers. Grill your own chicken breast each weekend (usually Sundays) and shred that for sandwiches if those are one of your go to foods. Sargento offers a natural reduced sodium cheese.. also, there are some…

awww, wish you lived closer too!!!

I'm at work so I only read the first page or responses to OP. It may have been mentioned on other pages, but I have a meeting in a few minutes and actually have to work on HUMP DAY... booooo. Anyway, I think some lack of perk may come from posture. Good core strength and good posture keep your boobs from being pointed…

Someone mentioned feet falling asleep with shoes and the possibility of them being laced too tightly. Check out this link with different lacing types-processes (links to other sites though they seem to have ideas) to help eliminate pressure on certain areas of some people's feet. Mine were usually falling asleep because…

I have short hair from time to time when I donate to Locks of Love. I'd rather be a good person in that way and give up my hair (not that I'm particularly fond of it anyway) instead of trying to attract some dude. Of course, I don't dig monogamy in my life and would rather make a difference than make a date.

Things were going well... but last night was a bomb. I got home to my special needs child being completely out of control, my mother was in a screaming match with my aunt over some stupid family crap and my other child (they're twins) made a failing grade on a test even though he only missed 2 questions out of 15…

Pretend to look at something on the ceiling or in the sky a lot... if you're always looking up, that will spot reduce the flabby area by strengthening those muscles. Perhaps take up birdwatching or become a meteorologist so you will have a hobby or profession that gives you an excuse to do this 'exercise' all day long.…
