I'm gonna do this and if the convo comes up it does, if not, I still get the chance to say thank you for being so nice to me when I was the new kid.

I'm sorry your mom insulted you about it. And I hate the "just don't do it" thing because it's just another way of saying "I have no clue what you're going through so I'm just going to treat you like an idiot." My parents have three kids and all three of us have had problems with addictions so in a way I lucked out because…

My regular instructor has been mixing up the releases so I never know which one we're doing. As long as there are no dips I'm happy. I HATE DIPS!!! I miss Arnold presses.

Thank you! I just really feel like a weakling in that area. Even on the machines it's the only one I'm still in the basics weights. Someone will get off the machine before me and I feel like I need to see if anyone's looking before I move it from their 10 down to my 3 lol

Has anyone tried the Planet Fitness in Dallas?

drink water before you go and have a protein bar. Protein tells your brain you're full because it takes longer to digest. Water tells your belly you're full. As an extra precaution put together a shake with whey protein, a half serving of oatmeal, and a banana 15 min before you go. It's around 250 calories BUT it will save…

I'm more comfortable in front of my husband and I walk around the house in sweatpants and a sports bra in front of my family. I think it's a pride thing. You worked hard for it, be proud.

I was told that if you get your heart rate up for at least 20 min your metabolism is up for at least 3 hours . It will peak and then decline over that time limit. But if you're talking about lifting weights it depends on which muscle groups you work. If it's a larger muscle and you're doing a real workout with it (not just…

Last year I used a different website that had me put in how many calories I planned on burning in a week and based my daily intake on that. But now that I sub as instructor I never know if I'm going to have an extra class or not which is why I switched to MFP. Since I need to eat at least 1700 cal a day I try to give…

I get the time thing. Because I work nights, I sleep while the kids are in school and wake up just in time to pick them up. So it's either I'm at work or I have the kids. We chose to join a gym so I could have that 1-2 hours of me time at the gym while the kids played.

We have one about 40 miles from my house which makes me think they're about to start expanding out my way. Do they have childcare that you have to pay for or does their "no childcare running up your cost" mean no childcare center at all?

As an instructor I'm going to tell you the same truth I tell my classes- do your thing and don't give a flip what everyone else thinks. The people that judge you are people who feel like crap about themselves. For the most part people walk past someone who's sweaty or larger and they tend to look at you like you're a…

BOA- Eat you up and Energetic

I'm not a huge fan of the BMI scale either. I hold most of my weight in my lower midsection so my jean size should be the largest thing about me. I'm pretty much in a size 12 right now and it still says I'm obese. I weigh 215 and it wants me to get down to at least 155? I don't think I have another 60 to lose.

I'm a binge eater and I've found that extra vitamins help keep me from over eating so I have to do my shake for at least one meal a day. So I'm going to be better about making it my first meal of the day. Counting calories, eating back half the calories I lose in a workout, making sure I drink enough water, weights 3 times…

I turn 29 in June this year. This may sound dumb but I want at least one year of my 20s where I feel like I'm 20. I was a young mom and never really did the club thing and the over shopping and all the things I saw my college friends do. Now my kids are 8 and my husband doesn't mind watching the boys every now and then for…

I'm almost wondering if the drink your body weight rule is for people who are cardio fanatics. I'm an instructor so on days I do classes or prep, I have to eat a ton of protein and that means I need extra water. So I crave water all day long, even on my off days.

I drink shakeology. I love it.

Right now I drink 2 gallons a day. But I think that works for me. It keeps me from eating a ton and I rarely ever get sick.

Eating them back wasn't working for me. But not eating them back wasn't working for me either. Going to try eating half of what I work off.

I don't add anything special but I do make sure I drink 20 oz an hour.

Noooo don't log on yet! It's happy romantic kissy time!!!! The longer she takes to get online the better it is!

I have a slight addiction to dance central 2. Like at least an hour a day kind of addiction.

As for the people saying you did something wrong by bringing it up while they ate the chocolate- I completely disagree. I doubt the original poster would make the comment in a way that it sounded like they should be ashamed of themselves if they ate the chocolate. And if you're the type to get offended if you're eating…

I need to get better at this science stuff.

I love love love love love LOVE working out. It's almost to the point that it kills my diet because I don't take in as many calories as needed or I get so hungry I go way over. Dieting... not so much of a love. I like finding out about nutrition and researching why foods help us in the way they do, but sticking to the diet…

I get cold all the time too. And it's not just a feeling of cold, it's where my fingertips are freezing, my toes are freezing. But I'm also anemic constantly, which is fairly common for women trying to lose weight.

I get it when my friends take me out for sushi. That way I can have one serving of salmon rolls and edamame instead of rice. LOVE IT!

I think you're awesome. They are apparently not willing to admit your awesomeness.
