Against. I live in Pittsburgh and the zoo has clear warning signs about lifting children on top of exhibits. The zoo got rid of the exhibit too as if it were the African dog's fault.

Athleta and Lululemon both make sports bras for high impact activities in large sizes. I ordered a bunch of different styles in a 36D and kept 2 that I really like.

No, there are plenty of flattering bikinis for any age!

I'm 5'9" and around 20% body fat. I weigh 145 today but fluctuate between 138 - 148. When I was a teenager I was a size 14/16 and growing out of those clothes into a size 18. Thats when I decided to do something about it. I'm a size 6 now, down from a 16/18 and have maintained a size 6 for 15 years. As I got older, I hired…

Prayers going out to Boston. So sad

I love my Fitbit One, its so small you can hook it onto your pants or your bra or side of your shirt. I was worried I'd lose mine and so far so good. Everyone I know who has a Fitbit loves it. My Fitbit tracks steps and hills of course but I don't think its really accurate when I'm on a bike or elliptical machine.

There are quite a few videos out there that you can do and then start the 30 day shred. But OP, keep up the great work!!! Congrats!

My sister and I learned the basics of yoga with a video and then I started taking classes. Also, most yoga studios offer private lessons for people who don't want to take a yoga class. I like working one on one with a personal trainer or yoga instructor because you get their 100% attention ... but it is much more costly.

"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results" (not my quote, but I hear it a lot in different situations) When I'm running a marathon, I repeat "this is easy" over and over to myself, especially at mile 24!

4 dogs :bigsmile:

I'm a daily drinker and I've managed to maintain a size 6 for 15 years. You just have to workout more or eat less. Just work it into your lifestyle.

Great job!!!

WTF is right!! Women have called me fat and I'm 5'9" and 145. I just laugh at them!!

I don't really see a huge problem with the date, bang, marry, etc. posts. People post it under "Chit-chat, fun, and games" and they are amusing to read.

When I started running marathons and half marathons some of the walkers were faster than me and just as fit and healthy. For me I can run 10 miles in an hour and a half and walking 10 miles would take me a lot longer. I walk my 4 dogs everyday along with some sort of exercise (running, spinning, lifting, etc.) for myself.…

I'm not nearly as tall as you at 5'9" but still tall compared to my friends ... I started out at around a size 18 when I was a teenager and lost a lot of weight my second year in college. I'm 33 now and weigh approx. 145 lbs. I fluctuate between 138 - 150 actually but prefer to be around 140 ish. My sister is 5'11" and is…

Great job!!! Thanks for sharing!

In a moment of weakness, I bought a huge bag of cheese curls ... ate a few and the rest went in the trash. Goodbye temptations!

I don't think they are that high in calories. I eat 1/2 one a few times a week. They are high in fat but not overly caloric.

I do that too but I always have a mental note of what I've eaten. I also don't log all of my exercise because my fitbit keeps track of the calories that I burn.

Totally agree. I was fat my entire life until I finally decided that the pain of being fat was worse than my fear of change and hard work. I was 17 ... now I'm 33 and have maintained a healthy weight since then and I rock a bathing suit!!!

In PA your dog has to be on a leash unless in a dog park where it is clearly stated that dogs are allowed off leash. I had a huge dog attack me, my dog walker, and my 4 small dogs because the owners didn't have their dog on a leash. We sued the owners of the dog without a leash, and it went against the owners work record.…

Start slow ... just like a human would. With a new dog, I run/walk until I can see what kind of shape the dog is in. I go from there. I'd start with ten minute intervals unless your dog is already running. I run with 2 of my dogs about 3 miles but I walk all 4 of them everyday for 30 minutes. I have 2 chi mixes, a jack…

I've made this recipe and it was good. I made my chicken strips pretty thin so that they would remain moist and baked them for a shorter time.

Accept the compliments ... say thank you! You'll be an inspiration for others :smile:

Great job on the weight loss. I ignore my family members :bigsmile: You need to do what is best for you; its too bad people try to bring you down with negative comments.

Look at the whole picture ... you said you've been working out hard lately. 500 cals worth of chocolate isn't really that awful. Don't let it ruin your day. And sometimes a short run in light rain is fun :smile:

I don't go near the scale during or around that time on month. I can retain a lot of water and its just makes for a crappy day!

One of my friends would make fun of me for running before work and then hitting the gym at lunch time ... then one day she came and asked me for help and she went from a size 14 to a size 4. It's been awhile since I worked, and my friend is still lean and healthy and kept off all the weight.

I love water but I have a friend who adds a splash of cranberry juice to her water. Sometimes, I'll add a little juice or lemon to my water and it does give it a "flavor". Maybe you should ask your doctor if drinking all that tea is healthy, she/he might have some suggestions.
