A lot of these don't apply if you have kids, single or not. :) I *usually* get the bed to myself but it's not guaranteed. I'd rather watch Cops than The Notebook any day, but I'm a chick who isn't very into chick flicks. I've been single for going on 2 years, but it's the first time in my adult life and I'm loving it! I do…

Are you seeking any help? I was a highly anxious person, most of the time in a general "I don't know why I feel panicky" way but the older I was getting, the more my emetophobia was interfering with and taking over my life. I finally went to therapy and when the therapist said she thought she could take my levels down from…

I am a recovering emetophobic (fear of vomit and/or vomiting...way more crippling a phobia then you would think). I have a fair bit of social anxieties and am self conscious pretty much all the time, but I'm pretty good at pretending I'm not. I used to love flying, but after one trip with two very scary flights...air…

Screw that! My 'last' diet wouldn't let me drink it and that didn't work out so well. If it's within your calories and it's in moderation, why would it be so bad? I have changed mine from double cream, double sugar to one milk, one sweetener but I am losing weight no problem...I'm doing everything else right, a cup or two…

Michelle, other than being in the middle of a divorce I don't have much drama going on (:laugh: ) but I also have an anxiety disorder. I've come a long way but it still kicks up at times...I kept having that heart racing feeling on Saturday and was thinking I must be getting sick and I shouldn't go to the gym (blah, blah,…

Hi Heather...we have some things in common and if you'd like, feel free to add me as a friend! I'm 35, love to cross stitch, have 85 lbs to lose, and am pretty introverted. I live in my home town so I do have my family and some great friends for support...I'd be lost without them so I can't imagine how difficult it is for…

I hope it's okay...I sorted the spreadsheet alphabetically...does anybody mind?

That's how I used to do an hour on the elliptical. No one reads at my current gym though and I'd feel like a dork!

Wow. You have been through a lot! But you sound strong, and you can do this! I've have an anxiety disorder as well (therapied away one phobia, but a lot of social and general anxiety still affect me daily), and in December of 2009 my husband of 11 years left me for younger/prettier/skinner...guess who found out…

You will most definitely not be able to keep up with the kids if you're body is malnourished and weak. You need to fuel it. I'm only 5' nothing as well, and I know how weight sits on us even worse than on taller people, but skinny and dead is not the extreme you need to take. Please talk to someone at school or your…

Thanks for your answers. I got the inserts because I thought I had plantar fasciitis(sp?0) but the doctor said I didn't....yet. I've been bad though, too, because all summer I wore my flip flops even though I paid for it with painful feet. But it was a hot, humid, HUMID summer and my feet get so hot...I can not resist flip…

One challenge done. I'm ready for the next!!! Exercise has always been harder for me then just restricting calories...so it will be a challenge...BRING IT ON! :)

That is EXACTLY how I feel about it. To the word.

My EXhusband was pretty close to 6', and I am 5'. My son seems to be following the curve to be about average, but he's only 9 and who knows what will happen at puberty. My daughter inherited her daddy's slender frame (lucky girl!) but I think she's going to be a shorty, too. She's so petite and cute...I want to be petite…

I think it smells a bit like troll in here, as well.

:smile: Great job! You look fantastic and I'm sure you feel it too!

:huh: There are other message boards for that, then. :laugh: I don't think that kind of thread would last very long around here.

I try to release a minimum of 5-10 sarcasms a day to ensure there is always some for everyone. I'm better at releasing them offline, however, so I can't help much with internet sarcasms...which I enjoy thoroughly and I will miss dearly if they become extinct.

See, that's what doesn't sound healthy. If she is into you, she would be into you whether you lost 20 pounds or not. Period. If YOU want to lose weight and get healthier...GO FOR IT. Don't do it for someone who can't love you for who you are.

It'll be two years in December, from an 11 year marriage. The separation was really tough on my kids and I was really just focusing on powering through my new situation, which was pretty tough as I went from a stay-at-home mom married to a 'family man' and being able to afford life, to a single, working full time at…

That was a fantastic story! I could relate to a lot of what you said especially about learning just horrible you were eating, and the reforming of habits. Congratulations!! And I don't know what I'd do without my iphone making this so much easier and convenient.

I want my ex to see the kids more, and he wants to see them more, and they want to see him more...too bad he won't stand up to his girlfriend and ACTUALLY see them more. Ugh...sore spot right now. :explode:

I don't log apples as that much! I believe 80 cal is about the amount for the ones I've been eating. I, too, learned a lot of what I THOUGHT were better choices, were actually quite high in calories. You really do learn what the better choices are. For months I'd been eating almonds by the ton, thinking it was a healthy…

:laugh: Yes, I think Thanksgiving might be worthy of a cheat day. :) Thank you, and Happy Thanksgiving to you!

I have two dogs...two 14 year oooooold dogs who have probably thought I've been acting very strangely. :laugh: They tend to laze around the living room floor so I'm working out all around them and they just sort of watch, and I bet in their heads they're thinking...WTF? lol I'm trying to think of something interesting to…

Sarah, if you look at the bottom right of someone's post, you'll see Quote written there in blue. Simply click on that, and type your reply beneath it in the box...then you've quoted! Snow! Yikes! Are you going to higher elevations? Hopefully it is not too cold. I'm glad you're going to keep your body well fueled!

I am EXACTLY like that! I'm fascinated by the psychology behind serial killers, and the science behind forensics and solving crimes. My ex used to make me feel like some kind of morbid freak for this, yet was a fan of CSI which is all sensational and gory graphics....stuff they never show in the 'real' shows. Sadly, the…

[quote The Lurker - guy/gal lurking around you hoping you are getting of whatever machine you are using so they can use it. ANNOYING [/quote] Guilty. But what else is there to do? I'll go and do other machines on my circuit regardless of order, but often I'm left with that ONE machine left and someone is on it. Often I…

Me, too. I'm planning on pizza for tonights supper actually. It's been at least a month since we had it the last time, and I don't eat 4 slices anymore...it will be within my calorie range so I won't even feel guilty. That's why this is sustainable for me.

Phew! That makes a lot more sense. lol Now it sounds like a lot nicer arrangement.
