PICKLES!! thay are just unloved, emballmed, cucumbers that just need to rest in peace, instead of spreading their bitter juice all over my plate contaminating my sandwhich bread ect. Let the unwanted cucumbers just pass on to cucumber heaven where they can be fully celebrated for the marvelous fruit they are.

I measure a 39 too. Here it will depend on the manufacture. Some styles I am a 38H or a 40 G. Do you see how I dropped a cup size when I went up a band size? Just to make things a little more challenging a 34D for example, is the same (ish) cup size as a 36C. An B cup is not the same B cup for different bands, they are…

I was an expert fitter at Nordstroms. Bras usually last about 6 mos, 3 if you have two and wear it all the time, 9 if you have lots and rotate them. Most suggest you have a minimum of three for this reason. The reason for 6 mos is that elastic in you bra stretches and wears out over time. the bra may still feel good or…

Suggestion given to me that helped was, first, identification. As a women I might suggest tracking your tough days on a monthly calendar and seeing if there is a pattern. Don't underestimate the power of those darn female hormones. My weepy days happen twice a month, and once I knew that I felt more normal and more…

I have PPD. Exercising makes most of my symptoms shorter and less severe. I always feel better if I do. The hard part is all motivation for me. I have none, none when it hits. I try to make myself get up and workout, when I do I feel better the whole day. If its severe and I can make myself get up, I survive the day and…

I use my stairs, and run up and down them like a crazy, frantic women who can't remember what she was looking for :). But mainly, I go on fast walks around my neighborhood. DVDs are great too for hot or rainy days. Try to change it up a bit so you don't get bored.

Their cheapest one, the 28$ ish one, Sportline, is good but their is no chest strap, it doesn't figure in your weight, and tends to show me really high calorie burns, usually 200-300 cal higher than what MPF shows, that does know my stats. Other than that It's great but, calories burned is the reason why I purchased it.…

Exactly! Thank you!!

For what its worth.... My mother is a Nurser Practitioner and did a stent in a Drs office who specialized in it a long time ago. She watched all the patients come and go on the treatment. She said they lost because of the 500 cal diet they also put you on. Once you return to normal eating, almost everyone gained the weight…

You start bringing a change of clothes for your children, and yourself when you go out. You are afraid of anything brown being carried to you on a little finger All the toilet paper rolls in your house have been moved and place 6 feet up from little ones Your husband hasn't seen you with your hair down since your child was…

Hi, I am the mom of 2 year old twins. Its tough but you can do it. I had to find a way to make at lest my meal planning a priority. I make my food and eat it before I get the babies up in the am and after nap. That is at lest two meals where I am not just grabbing on the run. That was a good starting point and I went from…

You can add me. I have PPD which is very similar ( same naughty hormones) just with kids thrown in. I know how challenging it can be. PPMD often continues as PPD :P later in life. Hang in there!!

Totally agree!! Use to live in a city with 110+ summers. We would freeze white grapes in zip-locks. They actually taste sweeter frozen. I mix it up my adding frozen blueberries in too.

Northern.... Wine country Napa, St Helena ect. That should seattle it but I can add the largest redwoods on the earth, Tahoe, HWY 1's pristine coast, Bidwell Park (aka the original Sherwood Forest:) breathable air, beautiful things called grass and trees....ect Down sides I actually heard this conversation in person , "…

Thank you everyone again for the feedback. My take away is I am going to try eating 1300 cals, keep walking ( which pushing 130 lbs uphill gives me a hr of 150, burning back legs and a half wet shirt) which I have to admit has changed my legs completely getting some cuteness back :) , I will toss my HR monitor for one that…
-
Community is so valuable, thank you for your advice and encouragement.
-
Agree, 3000 calories window shopping seems like a lot ( joke :) )
-
The HR monitor doesn't know my weight, MPF does, it seems like that would make MPF more accurate.
-
The HR monitor is another challenge. On my walks it says I burn about 530 cal, while MPF says its about 280. Keep running into these interesting results, makes me wonder about the accuracy of both.

My BMR is 1,677. I understand the math and the reasoning, but that doesn't seem to be what a lot of "successful" people here are doing. I noticed it when I starting pulling up the diaries of people with significant weight loss. I usually walk 40 min a day, 1/3 of it is uphill (pushing a 50 lb stroller with 80 lbs of girls…
