YUP! What he said burns you... it would hurt me too. You sound nice, and he sounds superficial. You can do better. Looks aren't everything. I say that YOU'RE out of HIS league. And don't forget that!

You'd know that I have a child...

Pr3sario - hair and shoulders are cute! :)

Thanks guys, very motivating. I'll have you know that I ran for 28 minutes, in the rain, up and down hilly streets, thinking about how lucky I am to have legs to run with. Seriously, that pic was all I needed. xo

My nephew called me fat. Children speak the truth. It hurt so bad, but because it came from such an innocent place, I knew that it was how the world saw me. I knew that it was true. I was fat.

DAMN you! .... I'm guiltily getting dressed now..

heh heh heh

^^ this. And I AM someone who works out during TOM, but why do you care about other people. And before you say "why do you care to respond?" Well.... you posted a topic seeking out responses, so here you go! Live and let live Best advice to live by. :)

Thanks for this... why do I always forget about lentils! I love them! xo

Thank you for the ideas so far everyone... I'm copy pasting now... I don't have an iphone, maybe there's a similar android app?

this sounds amazing! Will do, thank you :)

I valued myself and my body.

I was on the Canadian Telethon of Stars. I did a full tap dance routine. I think that was in '86 I was on the news in my bathing suit jumping off a diving board when the local news did a report on a summer pool at which I was a member. Probably in the late 80's early 90's. Would NOT be impressed if that were to happen…

You are an inspiration. Great dedication. Be very proud of yourself!

Cardio machines are innacurate (as I have compared them to my HRM results, and they can be off by over 100 calories in one workout). There are inexpensive HRM available online (ebay), so if you can afford it, it`s the best investment. It`s the most accurate way to calculate calories burned. :)

Not enough cals my friend... especially since you said you burned 3000 cals over the course of the week. Your body is holding on to whatever it can because it's getting the message that food is in short supply. You're asking for reasons why you're gaining. This is the reason (IMO) Unless your logging is off, or you are…

great..now that song is in my head.

you are one strong lady I'm sure. wow!

I work on the maternity ward as a nurse. I see this weekly. You are NOT alone, it's soooooo common. Many times it's extra pinkies on both hands. ;)

1) I broke my toe once by dropping a canoe on it. 2) I was once a flight attendant and my picture was on billboards across Canada. 3) I get a physiological reaction to spiders (I sweat, get goosebumps, and my heart rate increases) 4) Most people call me "Mo" 5) I lived in Dubai for 2 years.

I don't see any change when I look at myself. I have 'moments' where I do, but 95% of the time I see miss fatty. I get comments daily, but it doesn't really sink in.

Did he have more excess weight on that you did? The first pounds are easier to lose, and come off faster... I wouldn't turn it into a competition at ALL. Like you said, you have medical conditions, you are a woman...so you are completely different as individuals. Focus on YOU and you'll have more success.

JASON STATHAM hands down.

Nobody gets to live life backward. Look ahead, that is where your future lies

This made tea come out my nose, from laughing! Thanks a lot! lol

okra and liver Otherwise I will eat anything and everything. I'm should be pickier, I bet I'd lose weight faster.

I agree with this. Yes the OP is doing it the right way (congrats and kudos OP!), but the other woman is walking more, watching her diet and has chosen to use diet pills as well. I don't particularly agree with diet pills, but I also don't agree with the OP's reaction. Of course, this is just my opinion, but I like to live…

I am revolted by the feel of raw chicken. I really hate the sound of other people eating or smacking their lips OR talking with food in their mouths. I used to clean my plate, but now I am OCD about always leaving some food on my plate - it's a self-control test at every meal :)

my patient who is not doing well... impossible to not take work home sometimes..
