I hope you punched them.

I'd say "You have such a pretty face you can get away with your weight." was up there.

My ex had a lot of stretch marks, because he had "maxed out his frame" when he was younger & then stopped working out. They never bothered me & I think your reason is better. Don't worry about it. More than likely the girl you are with will have some too & it will make her feel more comfortable not to be the only one. I do…

Love your pictures!

I'm crossing my fingers that this is a possibilty, I have yet to see it done though... :frown:

It took me about a week before the headaches, cravings & irritaibility subsided. It'll be overt before you know it. I've even had a horrible week of nothing but carbs and then went back to watching my carbs & didn't suffer that hellish first week.

I have that dvd! :happy: but being momma to 3 kids 4yo & under & a student I am already pushing the limits of "me" time doing p90x everyday. But all these suggestions were perfect! Adding a couple a day won't take as long as the dvd. In the summer I want to do it though. Which option did you use? The classic one of the…

You're welcome! Cute booties are in our horizon!

Thank you :smile:

Thank you :)

At the risk of sounding dumb... I read through the pages & couldn't figure out the answer... but how do you figure out WHAT your macros should be? Is it what MFP originally gives you? Does it change as your body fat % does?

Good mornings & squats were the only things on my list so this list helps! Even when I was 118lbs I still had a curvy butt, I don't know why it's deciding to disappear as I lose weight cuz it sure didn't grow when I gained!!

Thanks! I really did get so sad. I hope it does even out!

At least I'm not the only one!!! :drinker: Here's to our future cute booties!

Thank you! & that is a very helpful website! Btw I love your story, I've read it like 3 times. You truly are inspiring!

I've NEVER even heard of those two exercising...googling now! Thank you

You know those times when someone points out something so obvious & you sit there wondering how you overlooked that? Yeah I just had that! I never thought to do my squats with a weight!! Thanks hun!

Phenomenal!!

I never have because my parents did this when I was little. We had free reign on all the quick, frozen foods, diary, bread & things like that but the veggies, "weight wathcher approved foods" and any candy my dad bought was off limits. But if I make room for some oreos in my diary & I find out you ate them all or left them…

WHYYY??? I'm 5'4 & started at 163lbs and have a goal of 118lbs but I feel like all my weight is coming off my butt too I've already lost two inches from there. I want to lose weight but not from there!! Now I'm sad. :(

^I agree with this & not having it in the house. I get like this but with carbs. I just restrict my carbs because they are my "addiction" & when I feel that urge to binge & the food isn't available to I do throw sort of a tantrum. It's usually because I'm really upset about something & trying to stuff it down with food…

The same thing happened to me (I had mirena). My OB said there was no way I was gaining weight because of it & that I was probably eating more than I thought.I showed her my app & how my weight switched from consistently losing to consistently gaining though my eating & exercise habits hadn't changed. The only difference…

I was never overweight till my after my second child was born in my early 20's. When I am feeling emotinal I crave a certain endorphine boost. For awhile it was perfoming in public & being the center of attention that fixed this. Then it became male attention. And then I realized I could get it from foods. Once I became a…

I'm a stay at home mom to a 4 year old, 2 year old & 1 year old and a part time student. I do an assortment of things. I either do workout videos at home while the youngest nap & my oldest watches a movie ( or joins me occasionaly), or ride my stationary bike after they all go to sleep at 7:30. When it's cooler out I put…

Very true, I just freak out because it usually ranges between 500 - 900 calories during that week and I feel like it's soo low! But it's true, I'm just not hungry!

Thanks guys, yeah I've always been this way. I FEEL completely pregnant the week before & everything makes my stomach turn. I've tried every birth control, even the lowest hormonal form & mirena and it's the same result with all of them. Which is having my period the entire time I'm on them plus the aversion to food. Ugh!…

1.) How old are your children and how many do you have? I have 3 children. Zaporah Lorrine-Renaye is 4 1/2, Isaac Eamon is 2 & Selah Sophia is 1 2.) Will you be planning to have more kids in your future? At this point in time I truly believe I'm content with 3 children. 3.) How was your pregnancy/delivery? With my first…

I mix olive/cocnut oil, white & brown sugar & some lemon juice give all the parts I'm about to shave a good scrub. Then I shave with some random razor with 3 blades, rinse, scrub again then shave again. It's made my hair grow back finer & thinner & you can't see the roots anymore like you could before.

On days that I find myself having immense cravings for something sweet/salty or I know my family is going to order out but I don't want to eat that, then I plan my entire day. It helps me to plan ahead & knowing my calories for the day then I can allot for a small treat, or taste of something. Works for me!

oh by the way my name is Marlene :)
