My husband and I go to the gym together sometimes, but we do our own things. Even if we are on side by side ellipticals or bikes on a given day, we talk afterwards, not during. I do go work out with a girlfriend sometimes, and we do talk to one another on side by side ellipticals, (or she talks while I pant, gasp, and nod…

No, you aren't the only one. When I look at how much I need to lose to become "normal" I find it discouraging. So I don't think about it much, but take it one day at a time.

I took it years ago. I had a bad reaction. Read the insert and be aware of what symptoms may occur, and do what you think is best for you. Best wishes.

I don't begrudge him the right to honestly and openly state what he thinks. But if he does that, he should be able to take her saying honestly "You worrying about what your girlfriend thinks of me makes me feel like crap." Open communication is a two way street. How would I feel if my husband said that? I have no idea.…

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Sorry. I'm picturing that "deer in the headlights" look my husband used to get that first year we were married and we'd be going out and I'd ask that... So cute... His consistent answer was... "I.... I..... I.... love you.....". I have since learned to ask which dress he…

I wouldn't call it gentlemanly or jerky. What is it? Honest communication. HOWEVER, if he feels he should be able to honestly say "look your best because my ex will be there" he needs to be able to take her honesty if her reply is "Well, that statement makes me feel like you think I normally look like a slob. I don't…

I am NOT a vegetarian. (Nothing against those who are, I just don't want to misrepresent myself...) I do try to go meatless a couple of times per week, though. My husband and I REALLY liked the following recipe, but the sodium is awfully high. Crockpot Mexican Chili (from Meatless Monday website, only they use corn instead…

Once there lived a prince and a troll that liked pumpkins that were bumpy. They sold seeds to elves for pickles because their chickens couldn't have calories because they loved dynamite. The chickens decided to go overseas in

I remember the pain my mother was in when they put a feeding tube through her nose (AND when they took it out). She would later REFUSE feeding tubes... I hope to God I never need one. I can't imagine volunteering for that to lose weight. It seems to me that counting calories and a walk with the fiance would be MUCH easier.

WELCOME!

Slice of thin crust veggie pizza? Salad? (Most pizza places I know around me DO sell garden salads as well as anitpasta salad...) Fruit? (There HAS to be fruit in that kitchen! Pizza places usually sell decadent fruit topped desserts, no?) For dinner tonight, my husband and I are having veggie topped pizza on a thin whole…

Most of the time, dinner. I eat breakfast and lunch alone, dinner with my husband. BUT, if we go out for lunch , (or have a "holiday" party with lunch as the meal), I can switch to a heavier lunch and no or little dinner. I guess I just prefer not to eat alone.

Exactly. I used to know the answer to your question, same as the majority. But then I got fibroids (they can cause heavy bleeding). I asked the same question here, and got some similar responses as to what you received. I try not to wish fibroids on them. That would be unkind... I have chosen to just do what I think is…

100 pounds is my "mini" goal. Sad, but true. There are all kinds here. Some want to gain, some want to tone, some want to lose five pounds, and some are like us with more to lose. This site is for anyone who wants to change their physical well being for the better. WELCOME!!!

My thought is that I am so grateful for my husband. He has never said one thing to make me feel bad about myself for being fat, but has been very supportive of my efforts to change. I've started taking better care of myself for me, but giving the most wonderful man in the world a "hawtter" me will be a wonderful perk! This…

I agree with everyone here who states she is just imitating you. Give her something more positive to imitate, and she will forget pretending her waist is too big. Learn to praise yourself. "I did GOOD today! I rode my bicycle for ____ minutes, and that was SO much FUN!" or "I am so proud of myself! I had an apple with a…

Mine is open to friends. I don't mind friends mentioning "Where are the vegetables?" or "You have been under protein lately", or even "Maybe you want to track sodium for a bit,...". I want their help and support. And I have been known to get on the case of a friend of mine suffering from a deficiency if she doesn't get…

Thanks. I was once a 5th grade English teacher... PROMOTED! :tongue:

Sadly, it seems from what you said like your sister's relationship with your mom was all about cutting into you. Now your mom isn't on board with that (she never should have been in the first place), your sister is at a loss as to how to relate to your mom and uses the old standby of picking on you. I agree with people who…

I'm friendly!

No, I never tried it, but am interested in reading more about it.

She was pointing out that Jane may have Religious reasons for wanting marriage over her current relationship status, and that if that is the case, she should trust in God and move on knowing she has a future and is in His hands. She used her own life as an example. She never claimed that people of other faiths or no faith…
