TiredOfBeingFAT130

To be honest with you, I don't really realize the difference. I have brought my daughter in and every time we go in, there are MANY other families in there... to be honest, last time, there were more families in the restaurant than single men. They have good food and the wait staff is very nice. I personally think going to…

I am shocked at how many people are against taking children to Hooters. Do you not take your kids to the beach either? It's just a restaurant... the high school girls that work at our local ice cream shop are usually wearing shorter shorts than the Hooters girls.

My daughter has been to Hooters a couple times. She is 19 months old. I don't find it to be a sexual place, but I know some people do. Showing cleavage and wearing short shorts.... I see that just going to WalMart. In my experience, the waitresses are only flirtatious with the single men... they certainly don't act sexual…

We moved in together when I was 19, he was 23. Married when I was 21, he was 25. Now I am 26 and he is 30! Our 5 year wedding anniversary is coming up this Summer :)

I don't think it says anything. I have been with people for a while without having sex at all. I had sex with my husband on our first date. I think it depends a lot on the connection to be honest with you.

I have the FT4 and I love it. It tells me exactly what I want to know-How many calories I burn during activity. It also tells you your highest HR and lowest HR during that activity. It has a chest strap and like previous posters have mentioned, make sure you get one with the chest strap! I was sooo skeptical because I was…

I think I would have another now. You can keep up with MFP throughout your pregnancy, too! I have two ladies on my friends list who are expecting and both stay around 1800 calories/day and exercise a few days a week. They eat healthy and have kept their weight gain under control... and I am sure that once they give birth,…

I aim for 12 cups a day. Sometimes I have less (but NEVER less than 10 cups) and sometimes, like today, I have more. Today I have had 14 cups so far. Secret.... hmm... it was tough for me at first, but the more I drink, the more I pee, the more thirsty I am! When I take a drink, I never just take one gulp... I try to take…

I think it depends... I rarely wear makeup... I might put it on once a week, if that. My Mom never really had a set age with us. I think I started wearing it when I asked to which wasn't until 8th grade I believe. If she wants a light dusting of something, I would say middle school is fine. My Mom always taught me that…

For sure. I had a terrible delivery and could barely walk for 3 weeks. My husband didn't get the time off. Good thing my Mom is a housewife and could drop everything and come stay with me!

I have a Polar FT4 and I love it... :)

I absolutely *love* Better 'N Peanut butter!! 100 calories for 2 tbsp.

I had my breast reduction when I was around 175. After my surgery, I gained about 50lbs over a few years. My boobs also grew. Now I am around 197 and they are still DD. I am waiting until after I lose weight and if they are still large, I will be getting another reduction.

I think I am the crazy lady here... I wear shorts-even with stretch marks behind my knees... if it's hot, I'm going to be comfortable! And I wear tank tops with my flabby stretch-marked arms, too. I wear bathing suits without problem also. I guess I truly don't care about what people think. HOWEVER... there are thing I…

I would eat them as long as you have an HRM to tell you accurately how many calories you are burning!! MFP over-estimates my actual calorie burn by about 50%!! Since getting my HRM, I have had to double up on my workouts. I was eating back calories before I hadn't even earned... I just thought I had because the MFP…

For me, they aren't accurate. Prior to getting a heart-rate monitor, I thought my calorie-burns were much higher than they really were!! Example... Zumbacalories.com tells me that I burn 810 calories for an hour of Zumba. I actually only burn 612 (HRM). I was logging the 30 day shred as circuit training. MFP told me that I…

Chest strap for sure!! Since you're a girl, you won't even notice it! I wear it right below my sports bra and I really can't tell the difference between the chest strap and my bra! I have the Polar FT4. I highly recommend it. MFP tells you that you burn much higher than you do... for me, I burn about 50% less than the MFP…

I just got my bathing suit from Lane Bryant. I am a DD. The bra is EXCELLENT and it's the first time I have ever felt supported!!!

I suggest you find something fun that doesn't feel like exercise to you. I started losing weight in December. I started Zumba classes close to a year ago. I was doing them before I even had diet/exercise on the brain. I was doing them because I am in love with Zumba, I am passionate about it and it's a break for me. I am a…

I have done MANY variations of these and I found funfetti cake to be the worst! The only cake I could absolutely not tell a difference with was chocolate cake and 12oz diet coke. I could taste the Sprite when I did the Funfetti.... just for those who said they tasted odd. I promise, the chocolate cake with diet coke you…

I would definitely recommend a class. If you like it as a video game, you will be surprised what a class will do for you. I literally count down the hours and minutes to my next class. To me, the video games feel too much like exercising. I need it to feel like a dance party which is what a class feels like! To the above…

I use zumbacalories.com. Those who are in my Zumba class who have an HRM burn the same, if not more. Actually, my instructor burns approx 1300 calories for the hour and she is VERY fit! It says I burn around 830... which I do think underestimates the calories burned in my class.

I am a Zumba fanatic. I go to classes 3x per week and also do Zumba at home 3x per week. I do routines that I learned in class though. I would say after 2-3x of doing a song I have it memorized. I have the Zumba for the WII and absolutely hate it. I just can't get into it, can't learn the routines and I think it's…

5'1" and even 200lbs. Size 16-18.

Bump!

I have lost 21lbs at 5'1" and no one has noticed yet. A friend of mine is around my height and was at my starting weight (she has now lost over 100lbs), but she told me that 30lbs lost was her magic number!

"Ditch the workout, join the party"! HONESTLY! Try Zumba. It won't disappoint. If you can't afford it, make cuts in other areas. I know that sounds ridiculous, but, it's true. I cut $25 a week out of grocery bill by couponing and planning my meals around the circular and every single penny I save goes toward Zumba. It is…

I am Zumba obsessed and take classes numerous times a week. I would highly recommend it! It is truly the reason for my weight loss.

This is my favorite snack when I have a massive sweet tooth... I take about a tbsp of whipped PB and mix it with 3-4tbsp of cool whip free. It becomes almost like a peanut butter frosting. I just eat it by the spoonful. It's so sweet and so delicious.

We have been together 7 years & our 5th wedding Anniversary is this year... and I have never weighed less than him :( I am hovering around 207 and right now, he is at 187 I believe, so I am getting there! Although, he is trying to lose now, too. So I just need to lose a little quicker so I can be less than him! I cannot…
