I got 2 when I was 39. I just found another one right after my 41st birthday.

*no water because she can't drink it / doesn't like the taste *no fruit because she feels they're too high in carbs *on the occasion she does eat salad it's loaded with multiple servings of dressing, cheeses, mayo based pasta & chicken salads *has no idea what true serving sizes are *finishes what's on the kids'/grandkids'…

Chances are she may not "see" herself yet and hasn't even thought about updating her wardrobe. Tell her she looks great and dedication really shows. If you look at clothing online, perhaps show her something that you thnk would look great on her. Plant the seed.

I'll give you extra points if you post a soul glow gif

Why wouldn't he? The same chemicals that are in afro-sheen are in pretty much every other hair product out there. Don't let the name fool you.

Lane Bryant does not only hire plus-sized women. Neither does Avenue. I've seen women of all sizes employed at the stores in my area.

In addition to geting hubby to join you, on days that you do P90X, you can try using the crock pot so dinner will be ready when you get home. Or you can prepare ahead and freeze a casserole, pasta sauce, lasagna, etc., on the weekend to give you extra "free" time on your P90X days. That way, you can just thaw it the night…

I have failed miserably at the challenges the past couple of weeks. :o(

I take it OP is in physical pain...an upset stomach and probably some intestinal cramping. The same thing happens to a lot of people when they eat something that doesn't agree with them anymore. I don't blame OP for wanting some relief.

It isn't horrible...it's better than the mint flavor, that's for sure. You'd have to stay near a toilet because it might loosen you up quite a bit. How about having a nice cup of coffee instead? That usually moves things along. Cilantro is also great for digestion, as are apples, pears, oranges and grapefruits (because of…

ABSO-FREAKING-LUTELY!!!

Don't give up, Niqua! My weight is slow to budge too. I thought it would be melting away by now, but it's not. However, I do not want to go back to feeling weak and like I have no control over my body and so I refuse to quit. As frustrating and disappointing as the weighing can be, I feel better. I feel strong and I don't…

Same here. I'm 41, I have a bad knee (meniscus tear), herniated disks in my C-spine and 100+ pounds to lose. I've been through physical therapy for both problems. The herniated disks in my neck and the shoulder, upper arm and back pain and numbness that accompanied was helped tremendously by strengthening the muscles in…

You could pick a spot to measure, then measure that length from your shoulder or elbow and write down that number so you'll know exactly what spot you measured. Use that as your guide each time. The only problem is, you'll have to measure twice each time (once to find the spot, once to measure progress). For the sake of…

How about getting the adjustable weight dumbbells that you can add plates to. That way, as you progress you can just add more plates and perhaps a barbell. Start with some 2.5, 5 and 10 pound plates and you can adjust the weight accordingly for your lifts and progression. Also, check out the thrift stores and goodwill for…

I'm also a curly girl and have been for 6+ years now. Although I don't straighten or color it, my hair is not thriving like it once was because I've been neglecting it. When stretched, it used to come close to my elbow. Wearing it down, bunning it, and twists caused massive tangles. Over the past few months, I've trimmed…

Mon: Tues: Wed: Thurs: Fri: Sat: Sun Kick back total:0/ Kick back goal: 3500

Be sure to check the thrift stores, goodwill and salvation army. My dad just got me two 25 pound plates last week and said they had heavier sizes.

Get it, Niqua! You're doing a GREAT job! I'm working on week 2 of Wendler's 5/3/1 program. My working weights for this week are: Bench - 60x3, 65x3, 75x3+ (did 5 of last set this morning) Squats - 50x3, 55x3, 60x3+ (I'll do these this afternoon since I didn't get them in yesterday) Deadlift - 70x3, 85x3, 95x3+ (Thursday.…
