I'm so excited to wear skirts that aren't floor length... my legs were SO SO SO HUGE! I had 27" calves... that's as big as some people's waists. My legs used to be scary. Now, I wear to the knee or just above the knee length skirts/dresses and get compliments on my legs :)

My cravings increase for meat as well and things that are high in iron and such like onions, spinach and liver... i could eat fried calves liver by the bucket full right before TOM!

being respectful

im not sure if it's true or not, but ive heard that vitamin c helps your body with healing bruising... of course its just good practice to take vitamins if you feel you need them or if you are changing the foods you eat to make sure your body is nourished properly. also, make sure to keep your bruise away from any heat…

I typically stick with Flora by Gucci or Viva La Juicy by Juicy Couture.. those both smell great!

Ive had someone tell me that before, and of course, i knew i was gaining weight.... but he wasn't a douche about it or anything. He just said that he noticed i wasnt as active (like i ever was back then LOL... i guess walking out to get the mail from the mailbox had slacked off) and he did make mention of my excess…

Ive lot 91 lbs. also and I still look like your before picture. yes, i have sagging skin.... it gets all wrinkly and saggy and it's not pretty, but it's a helluva lot prettier than what it looked like before -- all lumpy cottage cheese looking! BLECH! It did take me a while to adjust to having the body I have currently....…

OMG... i have been there and it is not worth it. No person should ever be spoken to that way. I would have been gone so fast that must dust would've already settled

I'm the opposite as the OP. When I exercise, I do more... I get wired and a total adrenaline high. Of course, it depends on the workout. I'm more wasted (tired wasted not high wasted) feeling after I just lift heavy things. After cardio, or a combination of cardio and weights, I'm pumped and wanna scrub the floors with a…

I just got my weekly NSV today! A little backstory: Was working on health/fitness & dating a man named Paul. Paul ended up being less than truthful about somethings (basically & admittedly leading me on) and dumped me in July 2011. He and I had been workout buddies. We were going to start p90x together the day he ended…

Joseph's brand products are usually pretty good. They have a very soft texture and dont get all crusty on the edges or anything. They have a sesame flatbread that i love. Also, FlatOut has some good products.... i would mind the sodium on them as well though Have you looked into using premade crepes? I just bought some…

Ok, so this is going to sound wasteful and indulgent, but I have different ones for different occasions. It often depends on the perfume I'm wearing or the season. I am currently wearing Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy perfume and Dove Cleartone Skin Rewew... and after a work out, I spritz up wih Adidas Fizzy Energy body…

Thank you all for checking out my progress. I also have a ton of pics on FB if anyone would like to find me there. Just PM me and I'll give you the link

Though it's typically not the popular opinion, I like guys that are clean cut.... have a little bit of a belly (gotta have some soft spots to snuggle).... has strong arms and hands and is just a little bit taller than me (I'm 5'6"). Very 'guy next door' type!

I hate doing any ab exercise that requires me to have my tailbone on the floor. That stuff hurts! I do a lot of standing ab routines and Turbo Jam's Ab Jam video is really fun. There's 10 minutes of standing abs and then some floor stuff which you can do or not.... sometimes I do, sometimes I just do the first 10 min. then…

I resisted the bowl full of Andes mints that sat with me at lunch time. I resisted drinking a crapload of soda and had unsweetened green tea instead. And most importantly, I resisted punching two people the neck. I think I should get a cookie for that!

sushi.... i can literally eat 4-5 (ok maybe 6-7) rolls of any kind that is covered in some spicy mayo.... so many carbs then im miserable for days!!!

Not sure what sort of restrictions Crohn's has other than the spicy factors that you mentioned..... but honestly, i'd cook the rice, scramble up the ground meat with just some onion powder and salt/pepper and stuff it into a couple of big tomatoes... bake in the oven until they're all roasted and yummy. I love stuffed…

Congrats! Clean/sober since 2/12/04 :)

Pet birds.... hell yeah! Those things fuh-reeek me out! My aunt has one and it always wants to try to peck my glasses or bite my buttons in half. i think it needs bird therapy or something. that thing is bitey! birds out in trees are cool cause they stay the hell away from people and are well mannered from afar.

Skin elasticity, as someone else said, is a big deal.... from what I've seen and read, toning helps. Gaining muscle helps as well. However, even as you're doing that (I would suggest oblique exercises to help pull in the abs as well as more typical ab exercises -- there are many that you can do while standing too!).... it…

i use the Ziploc Steamer bags... you fill up how much veg you want per servings (bag is marked in 1/2 bag or full bag) and add 1 Tbsp. of water then microwave per directions on the bag. You can use fresh or frozen. :)

Wait wait... so after 61... i cant wear a one piece bathing suit according to this... and certainly not a bikini...at 61 (though I'm not that age, but I will be eventually), a bikini would be way out of line. So i'm guessing when i turn 62 i should just go swimming nude????

Single... dating... but sparingly. No one has flipped my switch (mentally.. get your minds outta the gutter LOL) in a long long long long time

Hmmmm, the cereal i eat doesnt have sugar or sodium...... im not saying its a taste sensation or anything, but it works for its intended purpose. i just toss on some stevia and unsweetened almond milk. certainly isnt half bad

i eat Alf's brand Puffed Brown Rice Cereal. Check my diary :)

i get a whole lot of first contact messages with just a name and a phone number.... like im going to randomly call or text a complete stranger. then i click through to their profile and it's not filled out. Sure, i want to talk to someone who's too lazy to fill out their profile AND too lazy to send a decent first email…

i started with strawberry shortcake, then got rainbow brite & i think my last one was fraggle rock! #Child.Of.The.80s

You look so beautiful... in all your pics really... but you can see on your face in the latest pic how happy you are with your new body. So proud to call you my friend!!
