I experience something similar if I don't drink at least 8 glasses of non-caffeinated liquids a day. I know there are a lot of people who say the water adage is just a myth, and maybe for them it is. But the more water I drink, the better I feel, the better my skin looks, the better I eliminate, and the better I lose…

Don't ask me - Denver just sold the farm, as far as I can tell. Way to go Elway - just let all the other teams go first.

FANTASTIC! Congratulations - walk tall and be proud. That is a great first step to a future YOU control! Respect! :flowerforyou:

Absolutely fantastic - you've worked hard and look at the results! Well done and entirely inspirational!

HAHAHAHAHAHA! Maybe it is exactly that! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

When we were looking at ads for homes, we would invariably see some real estate agent had written "eating kitchen" or "walking closet" rather than "eat-in kitchen" or "walk-in closet"... along the same lines, I get a kick out of people trying to sell their "rod iron" (wrought iron) fireplace set. Using "then"…

Respect! You are wiser than many people understand. Be who you are and keep thinking through your decisions. You are 100% on track to do so. :flowerforyou:

Never have I ever... ....been to Disneyland or Disney World ....had a baby shower (but I've had 3 children) ...gotten (or wanted) a tattoo ...tried to water ski

Yes Ma'am! That's what I'm hoping to achieve right there - well done!

I also love using my Wii for exercise. I use EA Active, Walk it Out, Tiger Woods Golf, Gold's Gym cardio boxing routines, and Just Dance. We have a Google TV device hooked up to the television also, so I can hit YouTube and pull workouts from there. Before we got these fun things, I liked the core exercises I found at…

It's really funny, isn't it? I'm one of the youngest 50-somethings I know, and there are some who are in their 20s who sound like MY grandma. LOL! You have a good point, my friend - and I'm glad you don't have that particular bias. Because I *really* like being your friend! <3

Amazing - only 10 weeks? How are you taking it off that fast? Has it interfered with your body to lose so quickly?

What you're talking about is eating under your BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate). Not recommended... Have you read up on what BMR is, and TDEE? If you keep your calorie count above BMR and below TDEE, you'll lose weight - it's that simple.

Absolutely fabulous - you look great! And you seem really happy - well done!

Best. Answer. Ever. And I need to remind myself of it often. Thanks!

Magnificent work! You look great - and that only took a month? What weight and exercises did you use?

It isn't' the size of the dog in the fight.... it's the size of fight in the dog! I've dated slim, athletic, chubby, and obese. I married obese - he's the finest man I have ever known, and we are working together to become and stay healthy. :flowerforyou:

I had horrible cycles like that, too, when I was younger. Literally curled up in a ball for 2-3 days. There's no earthly way I could have been coaxed to work out, eat, or even move unless it was a matter of survival. The dr. finally ended up giving me testosterone (!!!) to "reset everything. It worked for a few years!…

Stunning achievement - and look how happy you are now. I would be too! Absolutely fantastic accomplishment. Respect!

I've never been to any public school in the US that taught any one religion is the "proper" religion. Quite the opposite, actually. It's easy to cast rocks from across the pond but do understand this. I came from extremely humble beginnings. I'm the first in my family to attain a degree. I worked in a good-paying field…

I just had a really yummy one tonight, but it only has banana as a fruit in it. No spinach! Here's what I do: 1 cup water 1/8 cup half and half 2 Tbsp Fifty 50 peanut butter (it's sugar free and has half the fat) 1/2 banana (sliced and frozen for at least 2 hours) 1 or 2 scoops of your favorite whey protein powder (I used…

That happens to me when I'm under-fueled. I have a weird eating pattern right now because were on a short staff for the next week or two. I eat about 11:00 and then I don''t eat again until after my workout. I know it's not good to go that long without re-fueling, and that light-headed feeling is a reminder that I'm…

From my Hubs and I to your BF and you - keep it up - you both look AMAZING and it's so good to have a buddy system going! ::applause:: ::applause:: ::applause:: ::applause:: ::applause:: ::applause::

I am no doctor - but I can tell you my own daughter (grown, 2 kids, full schedule) had almost exactly those symptoms and went to the doctor because it got so bad she couldn't stay awake. Turned out she just needed some help for her thyroid. Moral of the story: go see a doctor. It won't be as bad as you think, and you'll…

Planks are really great for the abs - here's a link to a demonstration of a side plank. You can also do front planks... well, YOU can, I'm still really struggling with it. I can hold about 3 seconds so far. LOL! http://www.sparkpeople.com/resource/exercises.asp?exercise=146

You made it to ONEderland! I'll join you there one day soon - until then, be proud of your accomplishment. Well done! :flowerforyou:

Whoa! Change indeed - well done young man!
