  • #32 :flowerforyou: Hope you get a good grade.
  • Well, I'm sure this is pretty common - but my fairly recently purchased pairs of gym pants (usually meant to be fitted and tight) are falling off me while working out! I usually clip my MP3 player to the side and it has started to literally PULL my pants off. :noway: Also a male friend of mine even noticed my weight loss.…
  • Love your attitude! Slow and steady wins the race! :drinker: :flowerforyou: You can (and WILL) do it!
  • I hear ya! :grumble: It could be a bunch of things though. Does she have a weight problem? If so, is she jealous that you're actually doing it - and she's not? If not....well, she's just obviously not being very sensitive to your needs. Luckily, you can tell her that and she can't hate you, because your sisters! :laugh:…

  • Morning ladies! :flowerforyou: Glad to see we're off to a great start for so early in the morning! Finished day 2 of 30/40 exercise days yesterday. Our power had been out yesterday from about 9am - 6pm so instead of sitting at home, alone in the dark, I opted to spend a while at the gym - and that I did! 15 min warm up on…
  • When I'm stressed, upset, emotional, bored, etc (all things that usually cause me to over-eat and nosh incessantly) I try to hit the gym! :bigsmile: I feel like if I'm stressed or worked up, I can get my frustrations out by pushing myself harder at the gym. I find that it really helps me to relax, focus on breathing and my…

  • LOL wow, it's definitely a Monday! :wink: 30/40 seems DO-able if we all push ourselves and each other. I've found that if I print off a calendar using Outlook, plugging in any already-known conflicts, it helped me better hold myself accountable for workout days. What I did was go through and number (in pencil) the days…
