Your beautiful! Make up is for special occasions in my book, but to each their own.

People are simply stupid! I am an overly protective mom of an 8 year old and a 2 year old. I don't leave my daughter at parties or school functions without my approval of the adult supervision. I actually had a mom not let her child be friends with my child since I wouldn't let her attend a sleepover. She found me on…

Peanut butter, eggs, greek yogurt. They all have protein and will help take the place of some of the meat you prefer not to eat.

I prefer to do my crunches on my exercise ball. More of my body is engaged and I have to balance while my kids attempt to knock me down. Have a small child? They make a great hold on a plank when they are crawling under you too! You won't drop if your going to squish your kid. Keep up the good work!

My HS boyfriend has stalked me on and off for 15 years now. Grow up already!

You can't give up because your hurt and disappointed. First, be kind to yourself and be very serious about it. If your friends talked to you the way you might talk to yourself you would tell them to hit the road. Second, your partner in life should embrace your goal and help you, not laugh at you. Third, it is a process. A…

I rarely make a morning workout. Mornings are ugly in our house! I take my kids along with me whenever possible. My oldest is 7 and my youngest is 2. We put the 2 year old on the baby bike seat and we race on our bikes. We ride to the park and play tag on the play equipment. I take the oldest to Zumba with me. The youngest…

I'm going to be the *kitten* here! I found this recipe on pinterest a couple weeks ago and made it along with adding some chocolate whey protein. We baked them and all sampled them and were so disappointed. Even my toddler thought they were "yucky". I hope all of your experiences are better!

My husband and I met through his sister, who was a friend at the time. He used to come into the convenience store I worked at all nasty after work. He came in clean once, i told her he was cute when cleaned up. We went out on 2 dates and have been together ever since. We have been together 11 years and married for 8 in…

BUMP!

Wonderful

That's funny! I'm a happily married woman and I can see that being your idea, not hers. :noway:

I would like to join, please send me an invite too!

Heather 32 years 1. Music helps me avoid the medication I used to rely on. 2. My children are my main focus in life. 3. Dancing is a huge stress relief. 4. My two favorite foods are chicken and watermelon. 5. I despise my neighbor's child and it's her parents fault.

I'm most comfortable dancing, aerobic stepping-6 inch step and riding my bike. I prefer the bike because it burns the most calories in the least amount of time. When it's crappy out I prefer the stepping while I watch tv or read a book.

I am an avid swimmer in the warmer months. I say rock it! Don't worry about what other people think. Confidence is part of beauty, remember your beautiful!

Naked for me!

Motherhood is your choice! It's your body. Yes, your husband should have some input, but the final outcome is about your body carrying a baby. My own personal experiences on the road to motherhood were very sorrowful and I choose to keep them to myself in a situation like yours. In the end, I am a very proud momma of two…

BUMP!

I switched jobs about a year ago and ran into an old co-worker. She raved about how great I looked and how happy she was to see me! I can dry my jeans again, they need to shrink to fit.

Being young is harder for some than others. I was and still am the "fat" girl in school. I struggle with self confidence and depression. I was a cutter in high school and my parents eventually caught me and provided me with the needed help. You can come through this and be a functioning adult. It takes time and the proper…

I weigh in once a week on Monday in the evening. After I see the loss I smile all cheesy, run and tell my hubby, and then log it on MFP. You worked for it, CLAIM IT!

I am in the same boat as you. I looked up body weight exercises online and found so man more than I thought there would be. Some of them are super fun for the kids to join in with, like the crab walk, the bear crawl, and ski jumps. I also use my youngest as an added weight for squats and it is teaching her to count. Good…

Susanlee152, that is a great way to visualize it, thank you!!!!

Mine isn't hiding anywhere! If it could hide I wouldn't notice it so much. :indifferent:

There may come a day when your 100 pound roomie may need to make changes in her lifestyle for her own health. Karma is a *****! There are plenty of people in this world that have made huge strides in health by changing their LIFESTYLE. You are not on a diet. A diet is a quick fix, this is a lifestyle change. Slow and…

BUMP!

Thank you all! I have some weights, a stability ball and a stepper at my disposal in my home. I'm even considering asking for help from my husband, which never happens. :blushing: We tend to disagree on these things, he likes me the way I am and I DON'T!

Don't give up! We all have days that can be rough. I would start with seeing your doctor and having blood work done. There could be some underlying issues with anything from your thyroid to glucose. I started with that as a stepping stone. Once you have the okay then talk to your doctor about what you want and what you are…

SW 257 CW 247 GW 199, I'm allowing myself roughly a year. My initial goal was 10 lbs, now it's 7lbs. I'm taking baby steps toward my destination. I'm not ready to share my diary yet. It's a comfort thing. I'm currently at 1770. I do eat back most of my exercise calories. Some days there are a few hundred left, but never…
