LOL! I wonder if he was drunk.... and whom he thought he was calling?

You will burn a lot more calories if you can bump up your workout in little spurts (also known as interval training). So every 3 minutes or so, work out as hard as you can to get your HR up to the maximum, for about 30 seconds. Then bring it back down, another 3 minutes, and take it up again. Also, stretch out after your…

My hubby is allergic to fish and I don't eat it. It truly isn't necessary for a healthy diet, but because of the benefits of fish oil I do take fish oil supplements every day. I once gave some salmon oil to my dogs, they went up to my hubby and breathed on him and his lips started tingling!

It royally SUCKS when you're trying to lose weight and you've been losing all week but on weigh-in day for some reason the scale goes up 2 lbs, but it happens. I am guessing it happens to everyone, I know it does to me. Then you fall into the trap of trying to trick the scale. It isn't worth it! My advice: IF you are doing…

You're right! But you can change your ticker, put your own picture as a background. Besides, aren't ladybugs just *adorable*????

Absolutely, the issue is the freshness of the eggs. The older the eggs, the easier they are to peel from the shell. Collect your neighbor's eggs and leave them in the fridge for about 2 weeks before boiling, it will make a huge difference!

Some people are just know-it-alls who really don't have a clue! So, listen to me and I'll give the TRUTH.... Just kidding! It sounds like the food you are eating is very healthy. And you are working out quite a lot. 1.) Do you have a kitchen scale at home to measure your food intake? Frequently people underestimate the…

I half-expected that the OP was going to be my Mom.... this is EXACTLY the issue she is having. And they've been married for 18 years or so! She doesn't want to or like to cook, and he refuses to because it's the ONE THING he absolutely refuses to do. He takes care of her barnyard of animals, so it isn't like he's sitting…

You are so beautiful in that dress! I'm jealous that you lost that much weight in just 15 weeks. You rock!

DO NOT continue to damage your knees with this type of exercise! Take a day or two off, and if you are feeling better, then modify the exercises so you aren't doing as much jumping and bouncing around. If you are still in pain after 2 days, please go see a doctor.

Definitely see a difference in your back and your tummy! Woohoo, way to go! Keep up the great work!

Sodium. No question about it. Remember your body is cycling fluids every day, and when you have a high-sodium day, you are going to retain those fluids.

You look absolutely gorgeous. I don't think people were trying to criticize you about fat vs. pregnancy, but you sure didn't look to be 160 lbs in the pregnant pic, you just looked *pregnant*. That is a wonderful weight loss to be proud of!

You had it right the first time, you just had to change the "IMG" to lowercase "img" And YES, you are definitely making progress! Way to go girl!

Love my furry dogs (sorry, they aren't my babies) enough to keep trying to post!

I HATE Photobucket! :sad:

As a girl, I got engaged when I was 20 (my spouse was 23). We were together a little over a year, half of that in a long-distance relationship, before we got engaged. We got married when I was 20 and he was 24. We've been married 18 years, and still together!

I love this thread! But that pic of Quincy above me..... ummm ??? Is he a zombie dog, or what?

Depends on what you mean by "Low-Carb" diet. My spouse lost roughly 40 lbs on the Atkins diet, and promptly gained it all back when he went off the diet. Another friend, a hero of mine, was always a large teddy bear and he lost a lot of weight on Atkins. So much so, that he was in an advertisement for the Atkins diet. He…

Several friends have lost 15-20 lbs and nobody seems to notice any difference. I've lost roughly 17 and nobody has said a word to me. It seems a little discouraging, but what are you going to do? Go eat a pan of brownies so you can gain the weight back? Where do you want to be a year from now: sitting on the couch moaning…

:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Here's a bunch of flowers for a very beautiful lady! I'm glad you lost the weight for your health and I hope you are enjoying it. Beauty is only skin deep but health will carry you through a lifetime!

:love: Love it! Looking at what you've done, it gives me hope! :flowerforyou: Thanks!

Happy birthday! (Mine is tomorrow). You are so much better than this man. You are getting your life back on track, one step at a time. Believe me when I say, good things are coming your way and they will be worth the wait. And you will be so glad you stepped away from this life-sucking ex of yours. :drinker:

Thanks, I didn't know this!

I'm reading a really cute, funny story on my Kindle right now called "Cupcake." It's about an obese woman who is struggling with her weight, and her hilarious mishaps. It starts with an armed robber who comes in to steal money from her business, and she reaches down to readjust a wedgie from too-tight underwear and he…

That's the easy way--- adding pics to your profile. A little more complicated to add them to the forums. First, open a free account with photobucket. Upload the pic to photobucket. Resize the pic--- I'm thinking the max is about 400 pixels wide-- and save under a new name. Then when you post, you type in [xxx] irl of your…

I hear you! I've lost 17 lbs and NOBODY seems to realize it. I did take pics at the beginning, and I definitely CAN see a difference--- slight, but it's still there. The rolls are a little smaller, LOL! I am so with you on this..... I'll friend you if you want! I'm at 210 and can't wait to get below 200. ~Jess

My son is in middle school (6th grade) in Illinois and the class is doing the P90X workout! I coudln't believe it when he told me that. They have gym 7/8 of the school year, with the other 1/8 being a session of Health. Their gym teacher has made them run a mile, climb a wall, do circuit training, etc. My son is very…
