Hey..I used to do that. ;) prior military here!

to op: Were the people who said that young? I have had people say things about me when i am doing my workout and I think I am fine just as I am. If they can find something to say about me..they'll say it about anyone! Usually young people. (now all you young people, don't send me hate mail but usually that is the case... I…

I do karaoke.. alot. Even at home(I am half filipino, it's in my blood!) maybe that's why my exercise routine was so successful. I do karaoke almost DAILY at home..lol

I did 10 pullups today...FINALLY!

I started skipping breakfast. It took 2 weeks for me to no longer want breakfast. ( I usually do leangains style daily fasting) i used to try the protein route too but it didn't matter. I'd still be hungry 2 hours after breakfast. IT didn't matter if it was healthy irish oats or egg veggie omelet. I'd be hungry with…

Look at my diary from 9/9 to now. On Sat I BLEW It. DId a little better on SUn but still blew it. Heck, I've had almost a week of high cal days. My usual cal intake is below 1450. But this week - very excessive. But after Sat I decided I wasn't going to overexercise or fast. I love to exercise and i use fasting as a tool.…

I am against the ban..but hey,I like that idea about how many lbs you'd gain in a year..lol. Would make me think twice, that' s for sure. I got overweight before but it wasn't because i was ignorant. I KNEW I shouldn't be drinking all that pop. I KNEW I shouldn't eat 3 slices of cake. But I did it anyways. People who say…

Same here! Old Navy jeans don't look right on me at all. The best pair i EVER bought, I got at a thrift store for $3.00. Can't remember the brand...but they fit fabulously.

Well I finally got into a pair of size...ta da.. 0's last week. But i have my doubts it's really a size 0, because they fit me EXACTLY like my size 2's. I think some companies do that to make people feel better. I also wish they wouldn't do that. Because I am happy to be a size 2. I also have some size 4's that i save for…

Pb2! I will put in in my tvp oatmeal, put it on a cheese sandwich for lunch and then put it on a chicken sandwich for dinner and then put it in my greek yogurt for dessert.

To the op- the title did scare me! But after reading I realize it's 60 minutes broken up into many days..whew! The only ab work i pretty do is just planks! I don't do any situps or crunches. I am a HUGE believer in the plank. Awesome challenge.

BUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks all! The pose actually isn't that hard. It's a breakdancing pose. Someone told me it's a yoga pose too. But I learned it breakdancing(i'm not a yoga person). It's really all about how you place your hands and where you are resting your bodyweight. Looks difficult but it's not. Seriously. Ok..I am like the…

Ok..I'd definately invest in that one! Put that on autoship!

I have found my peoples!!!!

One thing I do need help on...is my proofreading. SO EMBARRASED that I made so many typos in my angry rant filled post. Is there a shake to fix that??

A thread after my own heart. Former cardio queen. Now I don't do cardio at all. LIFE IS WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

peanut butter. I couldn't stop at 2 tbls. I am sure if i could...I would be a-ok. I had to cut it out completely. I replaced it with pb2. Not as good but I am now 20 lbs lighter.

Agreed. Not many options here in Hyde Park. Probably one of the big reasons my weight is being maintained. SInce moving to Hyde Park I have learned to cook! When I lived in pilsen next to a panaderia.....I gained 20 lbs!

I live and WORK in Hyde Park!

I used to live in MATTESON!

bump bump bump!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know about this. In high school I was the dork that got voted ugliest girl in school by the cheerleader crew. I wasn't skinny. I wasn't fat..I was just..well, ..sortof Molly Ringwaldish without the red hair. Now those girls are BIG. I went to my old hometown and ran into those popular girls who are now big girls…

Tisano chocolate tea!!!!!! I sware by it!

Agreed. And us thin women who are "flat as boards" still have curves too. Skinny doesn't necessarily equal flat. Btw...I have trouble getting dates too. Except i can't blame it on my weight. Or maybe I can. Maybe men don't like the fact I can outpullup and out pushup them. Who knows. Men just DO NOT ask me out period. So I…

I find when I am super lean..it's only in ounces. Not sure what your body fat is..but that's a big sign it truly is FAT loss. Water loss? I can get rid of a few lbs. Fat loss? SMALL losses now but it's a sign I am where I need to be!
