YEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!!! Also Fettucini Alfredo, Lasagna, enchiladas, and many MANY TGIF Brownie Obsessions! Birthday cake with lots of icing and a HUGE glass of milk! Ok, that's probably enough! LOL!

that I LOVE horses & riding

Well I've been told a time or two that I have big calves, & I guess I do, because I also have 16inchers... and I'm only 5'2. Currently I wear a size 12. I don't have skinny ankles or cankles. My legs are shapely. I like them, and have received compliments. My grandmother used to say,"Woooweee! Look at the gams on you!"

I barely missed the cut! Lol! I'm 5'2, current wt 168.9lbs. My starting weight was 198. Ultimate goal weight 135.

I agree with both HealthyJess88 and Cloud2011. People's builds do vary from very small petite frames to larger ones. Some people are naturally waif thin while others are more voluptuous. There are many different styles of bikinis out there. I think if you want to wear one you'll be able to find one that's right for you, if…

I'm 5'2 and 168lbs at my last weigh in (due again on Fri.). My total weight loss goal was for about 70lbs, but I have lost some. But feel free to check out my diary, its public, and I'm honest about my good days...and my :noway: WTF days. :embarassed: Feel free to add me as well if you like.

I'm not diabetic (yet), but I do suffer from the same evil cravings that you're talking about. And I think Wifeyy (sorry if mispelled) is right about willpower. The problem is...I don't have any. So what I have to do is make sure that I don't have any of those food around. (Actually sometimes I think having the bad stuff…

I will add that I did try a pack of the Visalus Shake Mix. But it's more for convenience for me; it's easy to blend the mix, some milk or almond milk and fruit for a quick out the door breakfast on the way to the gym for me. But since it's so pricey I will be finding another alternative when I run out.

I think that particular product wasn't made for meal replacement, and that's why it was labeled not for weight loss. If it's just plain whey protein then it won't have any additional nutritional value other than protein, and might not be a good meal replacement choice. But there are whey protein mixes available that do…

I have the Zumba Fitness Exhilerate and I really like it. About the weird voice over: On the menu page you can select "Learn It" which has the voice over, or "Feel It" which does not. It includes a "Rush" DVD, which is a 20 minute workout for the days when you don't have a full hour to spare. The Mix DVD is really fun. It…

R:laugh: TFL!!!!!!!

One of my closest friends lost some weight and had just augmentation to lift the bustline. In my opinion since she had a moderate amount of breast tissue (B-C cup) before surgery her results are more natural looking breasts. She now has a higher bustline, but not the "fakey Barbie Boob" look. I was told in my own…

Age: 35 Location: Nebraska Education: Bachelor's of Science in Nursing Marital Status: Single Children: 2 Sons, 1 Daughter Beginning Weight: 198 MFP Joining Weight:174 Current Weight: 168 Goal: Healthy BMI and getting my nice physique back!

You look GREAT! The shoes are HOT with the dress, and I agree with everyone, simple jewelry would be best. I would choose gold.

I second this. A whole bunch! :wink:

Hi! I've been on MFP for a little over a month now and I have to tell you I really wish I had done it sooner! And especially spent more time reading posts. Once I joined some groups and began to read what other people had to say about their weight loss journeys it really showed me that I'm not alone. There are many others…

I need to apologize for addressing a prior post to Olong. Error on my part. I'm sorry. :embarassed:

Right! I don't mind spending the time either. I spend a minimum of 2 hours in the gym 5 days a week, which I think is pretty good for a single mom of 3 that's employed full time. Being able to make it a numbers game is a great motivator for me. If I do intervals on the treadmill for an hour and burn approx. 550, I see if I…

I was very bad. A Taco Bell trip would consist of a chili cheese burrito with sour cream, a meximelt with sour cream, an enchirito with extra cheese, and a mexican pizza with extra meat, extra cheese and sour cream, all washed down with a giant fruit punch. TGIF? An order of tostado nachos (all to myself) AND a brownie…

Just turned 35 with the New Year! Welcome, friend! I'm new to MFP, a mom of 3, and getting super serious about getting to my pre-kid/healthy weight! I've lost 21.6 lbs so far, and have 39.4 lbs to go!

I have to agree with everone here, I DEFINITELY recommend using a scale. I saw MEGA differences between my estimated cals and actual cals when I got mine! I use it all the time!

(@Olong). Do you know how Bodybugg works? Or the Polar FT60? Interesting that you said heart rate has nothing to do with the cals burned "estimation" when it is in fact a heart rate monitor. That's exactly the information it uses, because just as the next post states, there is no way for it to determine Vo2Max. You have to…

I definitely agree with you there. Especially when the price of said gadget is high, and the Bodybugg is not cheap. But I can tell you that I've had mine for about 9 1/2 months now, and it's working great.

Sorry but no...the ability (or lack thereof, in the case of HRMs) to wear "all day" (which Bodybugg can actually be worn 24 hours a day, just not during showering or swimming,) is not the only difference. Bodybugg utilizes more information to calculate cals burned than a HRM does. A HRM does just that- monitors your heart…

Actually , there is something that measures calories burned. The Body Bugg (www.apexfitness.com) is fairly accurate (over 90% accurate when determining calorie burn through the entire day). I used to be a member of 24 Hour Fitness, and I had a personal trainer there. She suggested it (probably because they sell it in their…

Hi, I'm 35 and kinda new to MFP. You can add me if you like, I'm still a MFP nerd I guess, only have one friend so far. Lol! :glasses:
