sumiblue - Your example of your day is exactly why I would like to set this up in my home. With kids, your day can easily become a huge unexpected mess :) and having it right in my house would make it more likely that I would do it. Forgive me if this is a dumb question, is the cage the one that is more like a U vs a box?…

Thank you! I looked at that link, but I'm confused. It says I need my length plus 3'. I am 5'4", so that would be 8'4" right? My ceiling is only 8'. So do I not have enough height to set this up at home? Plus it says I need 108 sq ft. I have an 8' wide area between my bed and dresser. All of the space in front of it is…

@kolorkool - thank you :) I just went and took some "before" pics to hopefully motivate me. Ouch, they are scary. I should have taken some bikini pics a long time ago. That was way scarier than the number on the scale! :-1:

@bethdake - Isolation wasn't a good idea... 2 years later, it's kind of hard to come out of isolation :) I know that friends don't understand, but I wouldn't cut them off completely like I did. I've heard divorce support groups help, but didn't try any. You can direct message me anytime.

I'm a full time, working, single mom. I'm hoping to get easy to incorporate recipe and workout ideas here :)

@allieparkia - That stinks, lol. Congrats on finding someone new though. That part still scares me at this point :) @bethdake - Divorce is hard, no matter the circumstances. I'd be happy to provide any support I can. I should have reached out for support, but instead isolated myself.

@manefesto - thank you :) @gobuck3327 - thank you and I'll look into the sworkit app.

Thanks for the tip!

If you don't have anyone around you that will support you, there are plenty of people that will support you here. Adding friends who you see losing weight in a healthy manner is extremely helpful. Reading the success stories are also encouraging. There is also a great group on here called 'eat more to weigh less' or…

I personally am going on about it b/c I feel she deserves to be happy and would like her to find the support/help she needs. If my 19 year old daughter where harming herself in any way and came on a public forum, I would only hope that 1/2 as many people would try to help her.

I commend you for coming clean. You were brave to post the truth. As a mother, I can't help but take a maternal position. Please be careful. You are playing a very dangerous game with your health. If you suspect you may have an eating disorder, I encourage you to reach out for help. I'm sure you have people around you who…

If your core is weak, I could see how holding the weights in various positions could make your abs sore. :)

We have helped keep your thread bumped to the top, so you should get a lot of responses. :) I saw earlier you didn't get a response about how many calories you burn walking on a treadmill while holding dumbbells in various positions.... while I don't know the exact number of calories, I think if you use the calories burned…

That's great. You wrote above "I may have that disorder." It seems that you are confused (on being proana/not being proana... possibly having an eating disorder/or not) which is perfectly fine. I just wanted you to know (since being a new member, you possibly didn't know) that if you are struggling in any way, there is a…

IMHO it would be better to be honest and just admit that you edited it for whatever reason. As you can see, others saw it as well. I do hope that you stick around, choose honesty and hopefully get help if you need it. I have seen many success stories (in the success stories section) from girls on here who have recovered…

I read it in black and white on your profile before you edited it. It said "I am pro-ana." As I said before, I hope that these forums will help and support you in any way that you need. Added: in regards to the responses, maybe the forums are slower on the weekends. Everyone seems to be very helpful around here. I'm sure…

I had to google 'pro-ana'. It makes me very sad as a mother of 3 girls that at the young age of 19 you are pro-ana. :( Edited to add: I do hope that being here will give you the support and encouragement you need to change your thoughts towards promoting any kind of eating disorder.

That is amazing! Your hard work and dedication really shows! Good luck!

You look fabulous! Work it girl!

To be completely honest, I unfriend people who I gain nothing from having as a friend. Selfish, maybe, but I'm here for me. :) That being said, people get offended when you unfriend them and some let you know! That reason alone makes me hesitate to unfriend people at times. I don't understand though. If you never…

I have never heard of walden farms! Thank you so much for posting!

I just made this for breakfast and it was pretty good... 1 cup Fage 0% plain 1 tbsp cocoa powder 1 tbsp sugar free cheesecake pudding mix Stevia in the raw to taste

Great idea!

Just sent you all invites. If you didn't get it, send me a message and I'll send you another one. :)

This is awesome!! Thank you for putting this all together and posting it!

The other 100 of us that didn't get "picked" are all in the group 20lb 10 week challenge. Come join us! Or just keep posting here and I'll keep sending invites. :)

Thank you so much for posting this! I found one with similar story, height, weight and she even has twins. :) http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/body-transformation-pta-hotness.html

I just put up a new group for all of us who missed the first... Group name... 20lb 10 week Challenge. :)

I just started a p90x / insanity hybrid yesterday. 3 days a week is p90x, 3 days insanity. If you want to add me! :)

I hope you figure it out! :flowerforyou: I can't imagine how frustrated you must be!
