As a woman who is very happy with her husband, I can tell you that it means everything to my marriage that we are each other's best friend. When I am excited to go somewhere, I want him with me. When something good happens, I want to tell him. When something bad happens, I want his comfort. He's my friend first and my…

I have been free of cigarettes for 405 days I have now stopped smoking for 1 year, 1 month, 1 week, 6 days. That translates into 10,133 cigarettes NOT smoked, for a savings of $1,900.06! At 5 minutes per cigarette I have increased my life expectancy by 1 month, 4 hours, 28 minutes, 22 seconds. In my lifetime, I spent…

Go 'Neers!!!!! Love my WVU! My husband has gotten me on a Nebraska Cornhuskers bandwagon too though and they didn't do bad at all on Saturday.

My husband of 17 years is my best friend. :heart: I know everyone says that but ... he really is. I've got the real thing. I grew up in a house where my folks hated each other (Dad moved out 3 weeks before their 30th anniversary and the divorce went through 2 days after their 33rd anniversary) and things were abusive. I'm…

I'm 6'0". I was 18 and had just arrived in boot camp for the Navy. There was one Company Commander that really did not like me and gave me a hard time whenever possible. Our Company Commanders took us to get shoes when we were buying our dress uniforms at the commissary. As I was looking at the dress heels, the company…

I got married at 20 and had my first daughter at 21 while my husband and I were both in the military. It's now 16 years later, I'm still married to the same man and I have 4 kids all about 2 years apart. It was tough but every struggle was worth it. I can honestly say that I would not have done it any differently.

I'm 6'0 and 203 pounds. I can get into a 14 now but I prefer a 16. I'm so jealous of those my height and weight wearing 12's. I have to lose about 15 pounds before I notice a size drop. :grumble:

Welcome! I working the weight loss slowly too. Feel free to add me.

I would opt to be shorter than 6 foot simply to be able to buy jeans at a normal length. Talls aren't carried by everyone and I hate ordering online. I want to see how they look before I pay for them.

When I was in the military, I lived by "Adapt and Overcome". I still use this phrase in all aspects of my life, not just fitness. It's plain survival at its best. Once you adapt and overcome, whatever the situation, life is easier and you're in control. I can't adapt if I don't push one more ______(step, minute, mile,…

I'm at 24 pounds and I have gone from a tight 18 to a 16. (Although I bought a pair of tight 14 jeans yesterday and I will wear them today. ) While some of my friends have noticed, no one in my family but my kids have noticed. It is very frustrating and discouraging to lose what I feel is a substantial amount of weight and…

I have an affection for Maurice's. They carry 36" and 37" extra long inseams.

37 and feeling better than ever.

My husband has not changed his eating habits at all since I started this. In fact, he may have gotten worse. However, he's lost 15 pounds!! He jokes that it's sympathy weight loss and that every time I work out HE loses weight. I find it a lot less funny than he does. :grumble:

My MIL pretends to like me when my husband is around but reality is not so pretty. I don't hold up to the impossibly high standards she expects and feels her son deserves. We've been married for 17 years. My SIL hates me as well. As for my FIL and BILs, there couldn't be three more loving people in the world. Must be just…

Welcome! This is a very encouraging place. This site makes a very difficult change in your life a whole lot easier and a lot more fun. Feel free to add me.

My husband worked PMs forever and is now on rotating shifts. Nights when he's gone have always been my hardest. Sending you a friend request.

Good luck with your surgery. I wish you fast healing. Feel free to add me.

Thanks guys! This helps. I will just do my best and make smart decisions.

Snakes. My dog found a snake skin in the yard on Saturday. I started crying and explaining to my husband all the reasons that we now have to move. I know, over-the-top but that's how scared I am of these things. I used to have a fear of dead bodies and then I worked in a morgue for a few days in the Navy and overcame that…

Mine says "Deirfiúr Mhór" with a Celtic shaped flower. It means older sister in Irish Gaelic. My sister has the same flower but her's says "deirfiúr bheag". Sorry I don't have pics.

Thanks to both of you. Kleigh I had to go back and look but I think you may have pegged it with the excess fiber. I will lay off and see how I feel.

We are all here for the end goal of living healthier lives. Friend request sent. :flowerforyou:

Hi guys! I'm Amy. I am 37 with a husband who is my best friend and 4 great kids. I quit smoking in August and gained about 7 pounds on top of the 50 or 60 I already needed to lose. I started this journey about a week before Thanksgiving (the first 2 weeks I totally failed). Since the first week in December I have been…

You don't know what your missing til you hit a good Testicle Festival.

Well said!
