Plus he might look like he's 10 and he is only 7. My son's best friend has always been off the charts heightwise so people always treated him like he was older and then reacted negatively when he acted his chronological age and not his "physical" age.

Personally, I would let it go. If they are regular members then I would say something to the mom but otherwise its a moot point. As a mom of 2, my son was all energy so I can understand "wits end". No, he didn't go into the ladies locker room past the age of 6 but then I had a hubby who made sure that my son was acquainted…

Looking for my twin 43 yrs old- office worker by day- soccer mom in the evening 2 kids- teenagers 5'1 CW- 140 GW- 122? DW- ? Love to excercise- 4-5 week, weights, spinning, Zumba and just started C25K this week. Not so good at a clean diet :-(

Hi Everyone, I'm Chanyn, 43, 5'1, 140 - looking to lose 18+ lbs of fat not muscle. I enjoy the weight side of the gym 2-3x week, Zumba 1x week and spin 2x week. My diet tends to be really good and then REALLY bad!! My goals: Clean up my diet- each week focus on one area of my diet: Week 1: revamp my breakfast routine, Week…

I add a couple drops of Mio. Or the tea bags as previously suggested. I just got a waterbottle with a "filter" I can put fruit in the filter and let it flavor the water- TJ MAXX around $6. Or Crytal Lite packets but really really diluted. Or slivers of fresh ginger and and an orange slice.

Is there a thread regarding our next 50 day challenge? I am really looking forward to our challenges and conversations.

Sounds like you need a cheerleader/drill sargeant- friend me.

I am going dry for the month of January. I enjoy a good glass of wine, cold beer, or a mixed drink on the weekends. The alcohol isn't the problem it's the food I learned to associate with the libations: pizza, wings, full fat cheeses etc... I seem to be on a constant treadmill of repentence during the week for my weekend…

Yes, its that time of year again, newbies (NYP- New Years resloution People) in the gym, looking a little lost and possibly intimidated. My New Year's Resolution, and has been for the past 3 years, to encourage any one of them continue and find enjoyment in the workout. If just 5% of the NYPers stick with their health…

Depends on the guy and level of confidence. Please, don't grow a ponytail to cover up a bald spot- we can still see it and your lack of confidence. My preference right now is bald preferably on a well built guy around 5'll or there about but has the confidence to know hair is only an accessory and not the real present ;->…

Sorry you are feeling down but so proud of you for choosing YOU instead of food. Friend me if you want to talk.

I keep outeating my workouts :-(. 1. I plan on going "dry" for the month of January. 2. Find a WOE (way of eating) that works for me. 3. Lose 10 lbs (after I lose the 3 holiday lbs). 4. Add a stretch class to my routine. 5. Earn my CCNA-DC certification while losing weight. This is my biggest challenge; studying and NOT…

I used my emegency inhaler before my workouts, kept a sweatshirt on until I was warm/started to sweat, made sure my water wasn't too cold, and I still don't excercise outside in cold weather. If I start to have an asthma attack, I walk around the track holding my arms above me head ( I pretend I am stretching my arms). I…

Gearing up for the next challenge- so far I plan on adding more personal NSC- non-scale challenges, like the water Wednesdays, extra cardio on cardio days, extra veggies, trying new fruits and or veggies, new recipes etc. I have some progressive excercise goals. I want to add streching/yogo to my routine. In February, I…

You can do it!

So what I am reading is now that you have hit rock bottom its time to get on track and get a "rock hard" bottom! You go girl!

My motivation is pretty good most of the month but then PMS strikes and it feels like I am always taking steps back. One weekend of cravings and its repenting all week and no forward movement, argghh. My workouts rarely suffer but my way of eating has to get back on track. I created a pinterest board that I go to when I…

I am going to have a weekend affair. I've already picked out the hotel, the restaurant, and my gf has agreed to watch the kids. I have a little black dress and then some other items picked out for the weekend. New body= new fun! Then I will call my hubby, give him the address, and an hour to get his bum to the hotel :-).

No way- I pay my dues and its "Me" time at the gym. Its the only place I can have a phone conversation without my kids hanging all over me whining. And I figure it helps my cardio- I am doing the talk test to judge how hard I am working.. Plus the treadmill is so loud I have to yell. I am sorry you have to hear about the…

Weights. And I growl at people who even think about picking up my equipment. Luckily, at 5:30 am, very few people are at the gym and even fewer are using my weights. Plus if I am in the gym my mood is much better just by being there.

This is great. Thank you for sharing!

I find it amusing so many people took the OP's rant so seriously. She was processing/blowing off steam and doing a little wishing/problem solving. Doesn't mean she doesn't love here SO or kids. She's expressing herself in a forum that is for the most part understanding and supportive. It was funny and spot on. Love my…

I work out alone except when I am trying to add jogging to my routine. I hate jogging but love the results so I add a buddy with the same pace. Otherwise, its 5:30 am and my social barometer is not turned on until after my shower.

I can't believe the time is almost up!!! While I didn't lose much except the same darn 3-4 lbs over and over- I didn't gain either. I'll take that as a win simply because of my crazy work schedule over the last 6 weeks. I plan on finishing strong though. I plan on drinking my water, keeping my workouts intense and my diet…

Wow- I can't believe its almost over. I'm up another round but this time I plan to make progress. Hopefully, I won't be traveling so much. I want to finish the C25k and earn my CCNA DC (NSV) by the end of the next challenge.

Great job!

Fell off the wagon because of business trip, yaddah,yaddah,yaddah but not giving up. Half way there or second chance opportunity? Its not over until I meet my goal size, number. I know I missed logging if for awhile but I knew you, my cyberbuds, were out there and that helped alot! Here's to the next 25 days- raising my…

I joined Pinterest and made a couple of boards with figures I would like to acheive, sayings, found a couple of people to follow. When I start to get unmotivated I am going to keep trying that sight. It helped a lot this weekend (along with support from this group).

I could use suggestions for music. I like country but work out to pop and R&B.

I had a pretty good week but the most telling part was staying on track this weekend. I usually spend m-f repenting for s/s. But this time no repenting necessary. I met yesterday's challenge to make my menus out. I have my lunched packed for MTW and Wednesday night I will prepare Th and Fri lunches.
