You should try to think up a better excuse, because that one is kind of dumb. Sorry, sister, you're beautiful. And a little loose skin isn't so bad. If it doesn't pop back after a year and you've kept the weight off, have it surgically removed. Being fit and healthy will feel so much than being 80 lbs overweight. You'll be…

For 6 years, I worked as a liquor store clerk. About 2 and a half years ago, I was moved to the Purchasing department, where I sit at a desk all day. I gained 30 lbs my first year. I've since lost 45. I was so easy to put that weight on, too, because you just live your life the way you always did. Make changes that you can…

I love this visual. Thank you.

Body Pump is AWESOME!! When I didn't have a HRM, I would log it as 50 minutes of Strength Training. It isn't quite as accurate, but you aren't overestimating your burn. I try to go heavy, and my stays elevated during all of the working tracks. I only count 50 minutes, as there is a break between the tracks, and I don't…

I think that's my sister. I never understood why she showered BEFORE going to the gym.

If you fart, they'll move.

My friends and I make fun of those people openly.

We are getting married on a Cruise Ship and the sailing away to the Bahamas! Carnival does packages and I think we spent $6000 on the ceremony and the cabins. (i have 2 kids that my mom will room with that we also paid for). No linens, I'll have to pay for flowers. No caterers, no anything. I'll let you know how it turns…

Hotel Concert an event of some sort hockey game, etc

Walking, and also how about the row machine?

Great words!!

What I don't like, is when (fat) people tell me, "Are you crazy? You don't need to lose any more weight!" Is that a compliment, or do you jsut want me to stay big so you can feel better about yourself? I do love it when people say nice things. I haven't gotten any rude comments, YET! :)

I like that, Spike Day! So much better sounding than "Cheat day" or "splurge day".

I used to wear old T-shirts and pants. At the urging of an instructor who would always tell me I make myself look bigger in clothes that don't fit, I bought "real" workout clothes. It's funny how good they can make you feel. Especially when you don't really believe what people are telling you about how great you look.

A guy I used to see pretty casually told me once( after I told him I was 135 lbs prior to the birth of my first child), "I bet you used to be really hot!!"

Lauri. Rhymes with Sorry, not Story. Not Laurie, Lorrie, Lori, Laura or Lauren Last name Bame. Rhymes with Name. Not Bamma, not Baume, not Bame', not Bam. 36 years. And my married name won't be any better. Theis. How do you suppose we pronounce that? It isn't what you think . :)

Yep.

Don't waste your money on the Skinnygirl products. They are NASTY!!!

Bad eating habits learned from being raised by an overly stressed single mom in the 80's and 90's, being lazy. Not learning how to prepare healthy meals, then getting pregnant. Then getting pregnant again. Then losing 40 lbs, thinking my destination was reached, and going back to unhealthy habits and gaining back 65.

Modern Family was on last night. The Juice Fast episode. How Timely. :)

Have you ever been to a Wal-Mart on Christmas Eve? Oh man, it's a nightmare. I feel for those poor cashiers. And for anyone who has to deal with customers this time of year. This is only my 3rd year working NOT in retail or a restaurant, and I feel so much LESS stress!! But, rude is rude not matter what time of year, and I…
