I am a hugger with friends and family. I am very uncomfortable wth people I'm not close with forcing that kind of intimacy on me. I have a coworker who hugs for everything. Drives me nuts. Forceful hugging is greedy.

Probably in 2006. I had a pair of jeans that I loved and I can't even get them past by thighs now. I must have been around 175-180 lbs.

WOW! Fantastic!

I think most of us just log it as Circuit Training for 20 minutes. I think mine comes out to 260 calories.

I had tried quitting dozens of times before, but then I used the patch and it was sooo much easier. I also had two mental images: 1) my uncle in his last days before he passed from cancer. I paid him a visit and he looked like a human lollipop, and he used to be a big hulk of a man. My mother told him that I was still…

I like to add ground flax to my omlette and to sprinkle in yogurt with fruit. I used whole flax seed when I made granola last week and I'm so sorry I did because I apparently can't digest the whole seeds!

1. I was there when the Berlin Wall opened. 2. I have backpacked solo across the U.S. twice--still my all time favorite country to travel in--lived in Europe, lived in Latin America, and lived the Middle East, all before I turned 30. 3. I was once caught in a mob of people--the kind where people start to panic and trample.…

you look fantastic! I feel inspired!

I'm currently giving the scale the silent treatment. I refuse to give it the satisfaction. I am not weighing myself again until I can pull my tight pants almost all the way off without unbuttoning them. And then I'm telling it that it's going into the spring yard sale.

Slipping up is my favorite form of cardio. When I binge, I can take down a box of pasta, several PB&J sandwiches, a carton of icecream, a box of cereal...I tend to crave textures and really like the chewing sensation. It's a compulsion and I try to record my feelings in the Notes section of my diary, so I can understand…

My feelings would be hurt, but the truth is, it sucks to be the middle girl. If she has heard both sides of the break-up between you and your used-to-be, she is probably in an awkward place and just wants to have fun without upsetting anyone. It's like the kid whose parents are divorced. He doesn't come home from a weekend…

If trying this gets you excited about incorporating more fruits and vegetables into your diet, than good for you! I've done juice fasts before, and I've always felt great after. For me it wasn't about losing weight. I just felt sluggish and felt that my diet was bringing me down. For my last fast, I was eating about 75%…

I used to be an event planner so I definitely was using all the tricks of the trade to keep costs down. We were planning our wedding for August outside of Philadelphia and the best I could come up with was $12,000 for 125-150 people. In the end, we realized that it was a crazy amount to spend seeing how we just bought a…

I am already up to Day 6 of Level 1 of the 30DS, and I like what's going on with the shape of my butt. I did a 2 1/2 hour trail hike with intermittent running on Saturday, and I want to do it again! I am eating healthier all the time and today when the chocolate monster made me get up and go to the store for chocolate I…

Congrats!! You look great!

I love that one! I'm going with "Brick House"

Oh boy, if that were the case I'd be the most defective of them all! I was single my entire life and I didn't meet my husband until I was 38 and we got married almost two years later. I had romances over the years but nothing that went beyond two months. But in all that time that I was single I lived a fulfilling life,…

http://www.thedailybeast.com/galleries/2011/07/23/leisure-dive-photos.html I don't care for planking or tebowing, but I find endless amusement with leisure diving. The goal to dive into a pool but make it look like you're doing some casual activity.

This is my new favorite website! Thanks for posting!

I'm doing 30 Day Shred right now and the results are pretty awesome! Search the message boards for "30DS" or "30 Day Shred results" and you'll see some amazing pictures. I won't lie; it's brutal, but worth it. The moves aren't complicated, but I am pretty sweaty after 20 minutes.

That's a fantastic accomplishment!

I wouldn't consider it cultural necessarily. I've lived in the Middle East and I would be asked questions daily that I considered personal, like when am I getting married and don't I think I'm getting too old to keep waiting to have children? :indifferent: Although it was never asked in malice, rather out of general…

My husband recently dropped 20 pounds due to job stress and he keeps telling me about it...every single day. I need to find a way to alleviate his stress because I'm actually finding myself wishing that I had some stress! :noway:

GW: 175-180 and then we'll go from there. CW: 204 SW: 210 Height: 5'11.5" Age: 40 Sex: Female

I think the hardest part for me is realizing that I can't eat the way my husband eats. He's a marthoner and has always had a ridiculously high metabolism, so he's trying not to lose and I'm trying not to gain!

A few years ago I developed a polycystic goiter on my thyroid-nothing changed in my diet or exercise but the weight started to creep on. Then I moved out of a city, where I walked a couple of miles a day, to the burbs where nothing is accessible without a car. Then there were a couple of emotional stressors in my life, and…

1. the one with the least pee on the seat 2. something to make me feel pretty and girlie, like new lipstick 3. Masseur. Definitely masseur. I used to get regular massages and it's the nicest thing to do for yourself.

I save my afternoon snack for right before I leave the office to go home. If I am still hungry, when I'm cooking, I'll have a spoonful of peanut butter, and that usually calms the bear within.

I agree. I've had competitive friends, and it stings when they try to one-up me, but I realize that often they're just being needy and want my praise and approval. You're doing something amazing for yourself, and it stinks that this friend is trying to steal your thunder, but some people can only give what they can give.…

That's a great NSV! I love those kinds of fitting room discoveries!
