I got your back girl.

Holy crap- I am so sorry to hear these stories- Its heartbreaking to hear the things people have said to you all. I'm very lucky- bc to my knowledge no one has said anything nasty to me about my weight. Or let me rephrase that- the person who might have thought something but didnt say it- is very lucky- as I would have…

awww (blushing) thats mah girl- I am so freaking proud of her- and CANNOT wait for her first bout. In the mean time she will have to suffer the never ending series of possibly fictitious penalties called on her ( "TWEET- poorly coordinated knee socks/ derby skins combo- MAJOR" "TWEET- your *kitten* looks too fine for this…

I'm AMAZED at how much younger you look- you look fantastic- and what a great example for your girls!

not a thing- not even my bra- no jewelry- no nothing. I weigh myself just about daily- but only log it every other week- and usually on a friday. I shower- dry my hair etc and then weigh - same time every day. I weigh myself every day just as a reminder of why I am doing this. Its totally mental but keeps me on track, and…

I've had my teeth whitened by my dentist - years ago- and while it was great- it was not permanent, they do eventually start to pick up stains again- in addition to the whitening- I would strongly reccomend a good whitening toothpaste- I use this one and LOVE it Crest 3D White Vivid Toothpaste Radiant Mint I think its done…

That is amazing- and what a great gift to yourself. Congrats!

BAH! I''m so glad we are still talking about roses on a second date... this makes me happy. ;)
-
Agreed- I think some guys just enjoy doing the proverbial "right " thing for women- ie flowers, dinner, dancing etc. I realize this may seem a bit too much for a second date- but really shouldnt be discouraged- unless he showed up w jewelry at the second date- thats no bueno- but flowers are a nice gesture- and without…

\ really good info too- especially the muscle milk- I need a post skate protein- I cant eat before I skate (it WILL come back up) and I really need something afterwards bc I am buring alot of cals and need something decent to put back in me. I'll pick up someof these bad boys.. Thank you

Tripe. My mom is scottish- and when she made this when we were growing up- the entire house smelled like what I presume a boiling body must smell like, The taste is not much better either.

I have had laser on my legs, full bikini, under arms, and on my chin- I had a small number of hairs that grew in black and grew in sideways- so they were painful and gave the impression of me always having an angry pimple on my chin. My sister shares this joy and has also had it done. My only regret is that I didnt do it…

measurements are so important for this very sort of thing- its very possible to lose inches and not pounds. And if you arent losing either- then you need to think about a dr visit to make sure your thyroid isnt off or something medical. If you are losing inches and not pounds- keep at it- they will follow. I usually see…

Awesome suggestions- thanks !! I forgot about things like tuna and jerky and eggs... ;)
-
every morning after the shower but only log the weight every two weeks. I weigh daily to remind myself why I am doing this- more to remind me of the success I've had- and to give me something to think about before I do something dumb during the day. I log it only every two weeks bc there can be a good varience in daily…

Yep- my super ex boyfriend sent me a really cute handbag for a vacation I take in April... It was very thoughtful ,and reminds me that its possible to still be a good friend to each other. Which is really the better part of the gift.

Getting some health stuff in check, going thru a really hard time and discovering who my real friends are, and losing some weight...

New skates and a better way to handle stress in my life.

Somewhat- I dont exercise as much as I want to- I'm at once or twice a week- I am losing- but I know it would come off faster and I would feel better if I was exercising more.
-
I struggle at night too- so I try to do things for myself- like take a bath, read a book, watch tv- BUT I brush my teeth at about 7 to try to prevent myself from eating. Now that its colder out- bubble baths have been a big thing for me- I try to take a bubble bath at about 8, watch tv and then go to bed around 10. I think…

So I'm not usually a total prick.. but here goes. I suffer from ADD and ADHD - and I mean I SUFFER from it. Lost job, lost relationships, lost sense of self worth from being a pretty constant mess. And then I found an amazing dr who took a lot of time to find out about me, my history, my problems, my everything and he…

broscience - I love you! HAHAHA thats awesome

I have had mild peels from med spas- and really liked the results- that said- I have sun damage from a very bar sun burn and am trying to remove that skin. I have somewhat sensitive skin and did not feel that it was too much. I do agree with other posters tho= there are some great at home kits you can use that are mild. I…
-
Laser- its the greatest thing. I had full legs, bikini and under arms done- no more shaving or waxing for me... however when I was furry- I waxed bc I was too lazy (or "BUSY" as I liked to say) to shave... And I did let it frow out a bit in winter months bc my skin got so dry- it hurt to shave my legs- but I dont think I…

I'm jealous- but do think the occasional indulgence keeps you on track- the concept of total deprivation from a certain food makes me want it like its a life saving nutrient...
-
I think it absolutely depends on what you're making. Buying fish and chicken when its on sale and then freezing is a great option- you can get alot of mileage out of a pack of chicken breasts- a weeks worth of lunches or dinners. If I buy lunch every day at work - itsd between 7 and 12 bucks a day- and thats for panera,…

I personally dont eat them back- unless I am extremely hungry- which can happen after some of my exercise. But I look at this way- and I might be totally wrong- but... I look at it as if I didnt want to burn off extra calories- I wouldnt exercise. I may be off in this thinking- but I need to burn my reserves- not maintain…

I have heard that removing/ reducing the sugar in your diet can help with abdominal size- but I look at my body like I look at a mans brain- I cant make heads of tails out of it- its going to do what its going to do at its rate. As long as I'm eating right, getting water and exercise, the weight and inches will come with…

Ditto on the SMapx- or something like them- it doesnt have to be the spanx brand- but there are SO many things that will smooth lines and tuck you in.. go to target or walmart - or jc pennys or something w a decent undergarment section and be prepared to be amazed at your options!
