slim fast actually made me gain weight from the huge amount of sugar in it... and i wound up eating a lot more because my body kept craving more sugar. definitely wasn't worth it for me.

i usually wind up with gift cards to places i don't like shopping/eating at. .... or ugly grandma sweatshirts with cats on them. *shudders*

congrats! i'm a july 8th baby myself :)

talk to your doctor about your caloric needs. if you want to do any exercise at all, just get up and take walks. any kind of walking (not including speed walking) is good for blood circulation and will help burn unwanted calories while still keeping both your and your baby healthy. i was 260lbs by the time my daughter was…

i absolutely LOATHE exercising. any type really. but i push myself to do it because i know i need to be healthy. i do all my workouts on the Wii Fit Plus... and the two best parts are the running and the cycling.... because you get to watch other Mii characters run around and trip and fall on their faces. with the cycling…

the majority of my exercise is nothing but cardio! i don't lift weights, but rather do strength training exercises when i'm not at home using my own body weight (push ups, standing calf raises, squats, etc) and when I am home and feel up to it, I'll use a resistance band to strengthen my back and arms. i'm morbidly obese…

I've had my Mirena in since September 2008. It took about 6 months for my periods to stop. I think since then I've only had a tiny handful of 2-4 day periods that were nothing more than random breakthrough bleeding, the majority being fairly recent. I think it may be because I've got less than a year til my next one so the…

i take two green tea extract capsules per day and it helps me. but it seems like you're not taking in enough calories to begin with. 1200 is the bare minimum. i think you may need to up your calories a bit and move your goals around. are you tracking your fiber and protein intake? fiber is very filling and protein will…

my daughter is a natural redhead with hazel eyes... funny when you look at the three of us (my husband, my daughter, and myself) because none of our hair colors or eye colors are the same. My husband is a natural dirty blonde with ice blue eyes, I'm a natural auburn with dark brown eyes, then you got the little redheaded…

within about a year of our friendship. we've known eachother now for going on 12 years and have been married for just over 4.

YES. I plan on completely blowing my diet on Thursday, but I'm going to work out extra hard this week to make up for it all. I usually do about an hour of cardio 4x a week. I'll be doing 30 extra minutes per day every day, even on Thursday since we're having a meal just for my husband, my daughter, and myself, so I'll be…

At least 1000 has to show on my HRM. I won't stop until it reads at least that. Anything over 1000 is a bonus :)

Same here! I'll spend all week consistently chugging 9-12 8oz glasses of water and then all of a sudden, one day it seems like I'm constantly in the bathroom... to the point where I see more of the bathroom than my own desk at work. It usually does it for about 24 hours then goes back to normal. I wonder if this is along…

good god no. the only makeup i wear is heavy black eyeliner and it's because i have a mild form of trichotillomania... i pull out my eyelashes when i get stressed...... so if i go out with no eyeliner on people think something is horribly wrong with me. i can't leave the house without it, and if i do i find out REALLY…

i know i shouldn't but i weigh in every morning after using the bathroom. it helps me stay on track and i can change up what my eating plans are for the day if the results aren't what I hope to see. even if the scale scoots up a couple of ounces, it can change my whole calorie intake for the day and can motivate me to…

Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past Hands down, every single time.

a new ipod to replace my beloved 4th gen that got sent through the washing machine and a new stationary bike pedal set with resistance (saving up money to get a real all-terrain bike for late winter/spring!) also to see the look of sheer joy on my daughters face when she opens her gifts. last year she wasn't in a good…

when my mom started using all the child support money from my dad to build up her collection of beanie babies instead of buying good food... so i survived on popcorn, poptarts and cookies. i remember having a can of corn for dinner one night.

My cousin just had her 2nd child in August and got hers done while they were in there (her son was a c-section). She's 25. When I have my 2nd kid (whenever that may be) I'm going for the same option. Hubby's gonna get snipped while we're at it just so we're on the same page.

AHAHAHAHA A BOOBY!

lmao go ahead... when i had it as my profile picture and posted on the "hottest thing about the person above you" thread, two guys simultaneously said my boobs. roflmao. so go ahead if you want haha

I can't fit in any cute bras just yet but chances are you can see my...ehem... assets... in one of my profile pictures as I struck a pose after losing 20 pounds :) FYI they're completely covered by my shirt lmao

LMAO the one my parents STILL won't let me forget, is when we used to walk by the seafood section in the grocery store with the tank of live lobsters, and I would call them slobbers.

My great-grandmother passed away three years ago today. I miss her so much. Also hard to believe that my great-grandfather has been gone almost 13 years as well, and he was my best friend from the time I was born til he passed away.

me too!!! i used to be able to go all winter wearing jeans and a hoodie, maybe a head wrap to keep my ears warm on the windier days. I'm down 21 pounds and now I'm laying up in my hoodie, jeans, warm socks, a heavy carhartt coat, head wrap, gloves... jeesh.

I used to smoke it constantly in my late teens but stopped... I'm just waiting for the day when New York goes legal with it. Seriously... what's the worst it can do? The only fights between pot smokers will sound something like... "come on, let’s go…nah, I can’t get off the couch, let’s order Chinese food instead. I love…

melted velveeta and BACON

I have a Polar FT6. I absolutely love it. I burned out the batteries that came with it within 4 months because I use it so often. But even when I had to change the batteries, it saved all my data so I didn't have to re-enter absolutely everything once the new battery was in. The burn seems accurate to me as I'm morbidly…

I wear Avenue and Just My Size since I'm so big and I need the stretchy-type of denim. Before that I don't even remember what I wore.
