Also depends upon your weight and amount of exersion - depending on fitness level - lots of variables :tongue:

I'm not a man, but I've gotta put my two cents in :) Abusive women can be just as bad as men and often don't contain their abusive behavior to men (ie - children, other women, animals...). Two current day situations come to mind; Teen Moms (my guilty pleasure) where Amber often hit her boyfriend Gary, and, just like an…

sizes are definitely different now! Back in the 80's I was 145#'s and never got below a size 10. I think now that would definitely be an 8 at least

A fun one I recently heard about for those people in far south western suburbs, Warrior Dash at Dollinger Farm in Chanahon, IL. Someone at my chiropractors office completed it last year - obstacles, mud, hosed off by firemen at the end! :laugh:

This sounds like a lot of fun - do you know what charity benefits?

Some ideas for you; proof your house so if you are prone to binging there is less available to binge on, you will have to go out to get stuff. Change your location, get out of the house if possible, get with people if possible - those that support and don't sabotage. Journal!! Change things up! Not to be trite but, "if you…

So.... while I agree with people saying not a good long-term solution, I do think there is something to the lemon-water. I was doing a doctor supervised program in the beinning of my weight loss journey and it involved, among other things, drinking lemon-water 5 times a day; first thing in the morning, before meals and at…

I'm in! 231.2 today!

I'm still waiting for mine to fit!! I was fairly thin when I got married and I haven't been able to wear it for 15years or so - was too stubborn to get it re-sized, I said it would fit again someday - hopefully soon!!

We have a Precor Elliptical that's the bomb - also bands which are small and pretty inexpensive but can really do a lot :)

What a great problem to have! Definitely working out with weights will help you firm up and muscle also takes up some space within that extra skin - it also makes you feel good :smile: Good luck firming up!

I'm hoping to fit into my wedding ring sometime in the near future! Haven't worn it since I was pregnant with my twins 23 years ago! I have also done the thrift store thing to buy 'in-between cloths' - why spend a bunch of money on cloths that I will be shrinking out of soon?? Looking forward to all the problems people…

O.K. - I'm gonna be the voice of dissent here :) While I'm not a 'juicer' - my husband and I watched the same movie and my husband promptly decided to try it! In the first two week he lost 17 pounds and has since lost another 20 over three more months. He exclusively juiced for the first few weeks only(plus nuts for extra…

That's great! I don't think I could do a lunch workout - I sweat too much!

Well, during the week I go to the gym or do elliptical at home, but I do want to try a tape! On weekends I still try and do an outside hike if weather permits (no rain or icy trails) because you burn more cals in the cold because your body is burning cals just trying to keep warm! :glasses: Any good exercise tape…

You are lookin like one hot mama!! Way to go - what an inspiration!

New Lenox!

I get these Stevia packets with vanilla - they are so delish with my tea! My doc was totally against white sugar and artificial sweeteners - stevia is all he's ok with :)

I did wet it, but maybe it was the way the belt was positioned - I'll try it again next time with the belt repositioned ~

I just started using my new Polar FT60 - it's pretty cool - I'm really liking it! Amazes me how much I burn just doing regular 'stuff' :)

From the Joliet/Frankfort/New lenox area way southwest of the city - work in the city - drive ALLOVER the city for my work - Outreach Social Work - I put A LOT of miles on the car each week :)

not just cotton - lots of other good stuff too!!

Junonia!! Excellent web site with exercise clothes to fit ALL size women! I got a sports bra there a good 5 - 6 years ago (I'm a 40DDD - down from a 42DDD) and it's still going strong - no bounce, cotton to absorb sweat, mutli layer - excellent! I think it was a Champion - but really, they have all sizes!

If you keep a small bottle of lower cal dressing in your purse, they can be ok - pick grilled chicken instead of crispy :)

I never get it right when I try to do the quote thing :sad: But that loss is fabulous!! Welcome to 2's!!!

woo whoo! Lost 4# this week for a total of 50#! 241 is my weigh-in. This balances out las week's 1#

So - how comfortable is the chest strap on the HRM? My husband seems to think it will be annoying to wear - where does it sit? inside your bra band? over it? Saw a bra with built in when I looked on Amazon - but the sizes did not go very big - only up to a 32 -34 C or 38B - definitely not large enough for me! Before I make…
