My sister is a foster mom. She got one child who was 6 years old and weighed over 110 pounds. The parents never let him outside to play and obviously overfed him junk. There were other abuses going on also. I don't think he has been with my sister a year and has lost all the excess weight and looks like a normal. healthy…

How tall are you? We look similar for hourglass figure starting points so was just curious. Fantastic job! I just bought a weight set off of Craigslist and getting started. Will be expecting some great results.

Congrats! Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the encouragement! I really want to get that book tonight and start soon.

I love the cereal! I also use two servings of the cereal with almonds and skim milk and I am happy until lunch!

Just curious about how much a test like that costs? Thanks!

Thank you for your responses. I know I have to make the exercise happen. I actually am alot more active in the warmer months but know I can't just waste the winter months away not doing anything. I have a goal of losing 20 more pounds. If I continue to lose 4 pounds a month then it will take until about summertime to lose…

YUM! Thanks for the recipe!

I never weigh myself until it is over because it will definitely show up higher. As far as the cravings go I do not have too many problems with that as I eat at least 1700 calories a day and if I really want something I work it in. I do find if I exercise or at least take a walk it helps keep me in a healthy mindset. Also…

My 17 year old son takes Adderall and it has never diminished his appetite! Although it could be his autistic nature coming through (loves a schedule-does everything the same everyday) that keeps him eating and not necessarily because he is hungry.

You can definitely burn calories walking briskly and even more so on an incline. When I walk on an incline my heart rate goes way up there!

I feel your pain. I have three teenagers. I have a hard time finding time too and I use to be self-conscious of working out in front of my kids and they always have friends coming in and out of the house as well. I finally just had to get over it and sweat and move in front of them whenever I can which is usually middle of…

I have never been embarrassed of how my husband's body looks although he does have a belly. My only problem is occasionally when we are planning on going out he doesn't put forth much effort to look nice. He gets upset with me when I say something when he comes out in dirty jeans or work clothes (he is blue collar which…

Great job! Bet your wife and daughter are super proud of you!

Blame it on your boyfriend! My husband and I have a rule that we are allowed to save face with a friend by blaming the other if needed. Works for us occasionally. Just make sure to ask the boyfriend if it is ok first. Or you could just tell her the truth-that you will/can continue to have lunch together, etc... but not…

I started out at 235. I did Power 90 phase one for about 3 weeks or so and then went on to phase two. Phase one says to do 8-15 reps and I definitely started out at 8 reps or even less on some moves (pushups come to my mind). I stayed on phase one until I could complete the 15 reps on each move. I lost 45 pounds by the…

Divorce is hard no matter the circumstances. Glad you are finding your way. Don't settle or you will most likely divorce again down the road. Don't be afraid of being alone for awhile. Focus on you and your kids. Heal from the hurt and pain of the past now and you will take less baggage into your next relationship. Thank…

I don't necessarily agree with the other posters that the band is too tight. I like my band tight. I also have that horrible fat but it is not better in bras with a larger band so that is largely why I disagree with the other posters. My sister told me once "isn't it sad that the last thing to go is back bra fat and…

You may lose built up sick time but my previous jobs I got any vacation time coming. Best thing to do is just give them a call. If it was done accidently you definitely don't want to spend it because they can and will most likely catch the mistake and remove it. That was also done to a friend of mine last year.

I'm not sure how many calories you are trying to stay under per day but with only 14 lbs to go to your goal weight please make sure to set your deficit so you are only losing half of a pound a week. That may give you a few more calories. Also there are a lot of things going on with your body right now after just having a…

Well I can definitely see and understand the good and the bad of what has been said about having kids. I loved being a mom when the kids were little. I was a stay at home mother for twelve years. Absolutely loved being home with my kids, teaching them, having fun with them, etc... Now I have three teens- a 19 year old, 17…

Highest weight I was in- a 40DDD and now I'm in a 34F. I like the size of my breasts but I don't like the price I have to pay to get a good bra!

Side aches/stitches can come from not breathing deeply enough so it is very important to get your breathing correct. I believe that will definitely help with your endurance as well. Focus on the breathing and the running will get easier. Good luck!
