"I am EVERYTHING I pretend to be!" ~Regine Hunter (Living Single)

What triggers your anxiety?

Absolutely! I don't care what you do to it, it's tragic!

It activates the pleasure center of the brain...and feeling good is always something we want more of!

....And just in case anyone ever considered trying, making a banana pudding with SKIM milk? Yeah, not so much.

I did a fruit and veg juice fast where we juiced some kale, turnip, and mustard greens. Now, even the SMELL of fresh raw greens makes me want to toss my cookies!

That's wonderful! Keep up the good work!

That's what's up!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You look tooooo cute!!!!!

Read this! http://eatthis.womenshealthmag.com/slideshow/20-salads-worse-whopper#sharetagsfocus Even the salads you consume at these fast food places aren't all that healthy. Eating out period can sabotage your lifestyle change. Lots of stuff is added to those restaurant salads that are largely unnoticed. I'm not suggesting…

What a victory! Thank you for sharing your success with us!

I'm pretty tall for a woman, 5' 8", so my pant size goal is 10-12.

Could part of the issue be that you need to eat more calories? Perhaps feeling run down is a sign that you're not getting enough fuel.

This is such a peculiar topic. In my experience, I've found it to be very destructive for people to draw too many connections between their looks and their "success" in the dating scene. Moreover, it's very strange to me for someone to imply that thinner people have a proclivity toward being unpleasant air-heads and…

Thanks everyone! Now, to find one that is cost effective, reasonably reliable, and does everything I want it to do. I was on amazon and discovered that not all HRMs count calories burned.

You are in a tough spot and I understand the inclination to have "something" for yourself, mainly in the area of food. It doesn't talk back and it's satisfying. It's comforting and it's totally something you don't have to share if you don't want to. It makes you feel like there is just one moment out of the day that brings…

Brilliant signature...says you are a fighter!

I tried spinning a couple of times and it was miserable for me. You'd think that with all the ample cushioning on my rear end I wouldn't be in pain sitting on that seat. But to me, it was like being impaled on a doorknob! People said I'd get used to it, but I could never stick with the entire class long enough for all the…

....Be able to cross my legs without holding them with my hands! I know it's not good for your heart, but I still wanna be able to do it! ....Challenge all my kids in a foot race ....Buy a whole new wardrobe, and have no problem saying goodbye to everything over a size12!!!!!!

I have 7 kids. I wake up at 5, have breakfast ready by 5:30, have morning prayer at 6, first wave is at the bus stop by 6:27, second wave is out by 7:00. After working all day I come home, feed all the people who keep needin' to eat, check homework, ensure baths, prep for tomorrow and THEN workout after everyone's in bed…

And........scene............

I eat!!!! And I don't care what anybody has to say about it.............:tongue: And then I go hard with the exercise after day 2 of my period.

Nothing makes me feel sexier than a slamming sun dress! I don't care what I weigh, if I can find a flowing, airy sundress on the rack, it's going home with me. That's one thing I'll never give up. Now, having said that, I can't abide by skinny jeans when a person doesn't qualify as "skinny." And, for the record, I dont'…

So if you tell him this, THEN WHAT?? Do you think that would make any difference? Maybe he's ambivalent, maybe he'll see the error of his ways, maybe he's checked out for good. But in any case, this is SOOOOOOOOOOO not about him. This is about your relationship with yourself and the message you send to your kids. No one…

I have Body for Life also and it's a great way to plan meals and cook healthy. So you're on the right track with that. What do you like to do for exercise?

Oooo.....Oooo....ME ME!!!
