i apologize if anyone else already stated the obvious but... usually a tattoo lasts longer then just a significant other these days so do what makes YOU happy. if he gives you crap, explain you did it for you and not one person more. .s.

in the words of nike "just do it". stop complaining, stop making excuses. stop being lazy. i'm not trying to be harsh but sometimes some people just need a kick in the butt. be tough. you CAN do it. .s.

thanks guys. i have a pedometer/hrm on my watch. i guess i'm not exactly putting it to good use am i? i just got it and am barely still trying to figure this darn thing out. thank you all for your help. .s.

ontario, california. that's in the inland empire :)

oh and i don't own a body bug either. so yeah.

thanks for your honest input everyone! i guess i am being a lil rediculous and should just stick to toning. maybe i was just trying to get out of it? i dont know about you all but toning is a LOT harder work then just losing weight for me. it's easy to cut out certains things and eat right and keeping a diary and staying…

that is the coolest thing ive seen all week!! hahah awesome and thanks for sharing! now i gotta post it on my fb! .s.

everyone's suggestions and tips and point of views really have helped me consider things i didnt necessarly consider before. you are all so supportive and helpful and give great insight. thank you all for your responses. i'm going with the gym membership.

my *kitten* and boobs are the first to leave sight lol. god bless buns of steel workouts though

i never thought about it like that, a nice lil heaven away from all the mess at home. great excuse to get out and have "me" time.

that's a very valid point. especially cuz i have a huge ego and love to be the best at everything and show off. hahha gross i know. but ur point is very valid in my case thank you.

the more you sit an focus on the fact that you're sick, the more sick you become. the mind is a powerful thing. ive noticed when im at work and im sick i forget im sick cuz im so focused on work. my symptoms even disappear. but the minute i walk into my bedroom and lay down BOOM! symptoms return. think about that.

i didn't know that! very interesting and informative fact ;) ,s,

thanks hon!

thank u so very much for ur suggestion. i WILL look into this.

if u remember, do post! please :) that's exactly why i want a more accurate reading, cuz i know the formula is off and based on average rate. i guess i get a lil "anal" when it comes to stuff like this, i have to be accurate all the time and know exactly whats going in my mouth and what calories are being burned. thank u…

Hell yes!! enuf is enuff!! right on girl! .s.

i lost a few pounds this week cuz u know when you're sick, u lose youre appetite? yeah, but at the same time my energy levels are awful! can't wait to feel alive again! im excited for summer too! and yes we CAN do it ;) and like i mentioned to helen earlier, don't beat yourself up! what's important is to rebound and get…

okay once in a while is ok but every weekend? what's going on girl, stressed much? u know better then that! gotta have will power and eat smart! ;) .s.

i fell off the wagon after actually surpassing my weight goal and maintaining it for quite a while i was 115lb's! and healthy! but it's been almost a whole year now that i've kept track, it's insane! time/fat just flies on by and not keeping track.. bad idea. But don't beat urself up (i'm not), that's one thing i've…

i had a bad dream as well. that there were crumbs left on the floor from the brownie i actually just ate before i fell asleep (bad i know) and hundreds of thousands of ants and gross creepy crawlers were attacking me. i'm sure it was the guilt i felt eating the brownie before i fell asleep to only dream about it. sometimes…

damn girl u gotta whole nite dedicated to nacho/pizza huh? :laugh: im only kidding, i thought it was cute you typed that...hehehe. .s.

why fruit? it's got so many benefits to stop eating

Well a couple of my answers aren't food but i'm sure you won't mind if i include beverages because they are a siginificant amount of sugar/calories. 1. any sort of soda whatsoever including diet (i strictly drink only water/tea) 2. my alcohol intake has gone down sufficiently, to the point my family/friends have tried to…

push ups. sit ups. and leg lifts. kickboxing or shadowboxing (u don't need gear for this and you can find routines online). holding out your arms to form a "T" and moving them in circular motions for 3 mins each direction "forward and backward", at first it seems easy but just wait a few seconds into the exercise, it'll…

california. inland empire

i think that is sooo sad... are you really out of control to the extent of starting to becomming anti-social? it's GREAT to take good care of yourself and look after yourself but i hope you soon learn to control your situation so that you don't have to miss out on social events. .s.

hahaha!! so awesome to hear everyone be honest and name their guilty pleasures! they all sounded so good but i read someone said hummus?? FOR REALS? CARDBOARD? jk... hahahaha.:laugh: also i read someone straight up said POTATO, i shoulda put that instead of just chips because potato is REALLY what i cannot live without...…

well, what i can offer is reality. nothing lasts forever. even if you've done so well in the past EVERYONE is bound to mess up a day or two, a whole week, or maybe even a couple months off the wagon because i can surely admit i've done it as well. there are people that have rejoined MFP numerous times and they always come…

those were some pretty creative and specific suggestions! awesome! GO CARDINALS!!!
