Mhmmmm.

I love walking/hiking outdoors too. I hike the two lakes next to my home with my dog practically every morning!

"Suck it, haters." Just shared on the ol' book of face. Thanks for posting.

I was like that for the better part of June, Jen. I ate ****.... and didn't log half of it.... and I slacked off on the exercise. I just let the IDEA of weight loss overwhelm me. But I forced myself back. I stocked my fridge with only the healthiest, yummiest foods.... I drank a TON of water (I hit over 100 oz a day, but…

ACV is great for health. I have mixed reviews on 'weight loss', but it's fantastic for your health regardless. Make sure it's not the **** from the grocery store and you get a brand like Bragg's. You can water down the shots or add some honey to help with the taste.

To each, their own. Why rant about something that has ZERO affect on your life? Just to rant? And you put it for all to see... this is one of the reasons people are super critical of themselves on here. It's because *****es like you bully them in the public forums about what peeves you about them. People are here to change…

I think I love you.

Love this! Saw it on Pinterest a while back and forgot to try it!! Can't wait to try now that summer's here! Thanks!

Eat fresh veggies (I love raw cucumbers and peppers), drink water or green tea (real green tea, not Arizona) and limit your sodium. I used to have all kinds of issues with sodium and water retention, but I limit my sodium to 1400 mg (most days I barely hit 900mg) per day and I feel sooooo much better. Best of luck!

Have you tried eating with them? It might be your perception that is setting the tone for a "member's only club" type setting. I would feel the same as you, but I'd try to infiltrate the group. Ask one of them to teach you some of the language or ask them bluntly what they're talking about. It could all just be missed…

YES. God bless you for putting that in my brain.

I've been doing the same for a few weeks.... I, too, love how I feel.

When it's over AND I subtract my TDEE from it as well.

It's not shallow, though overweight women tend to be EXTREMELY sensitive about their weight and automatically go to "that jerk.... it's because I'm fat... that shallow jerk!" AND I will say that being overweight typically equates to living an unhealthy lifestyle.... being unhealthy is less attractive to me. Then again, I'm…

How's your sodium intake?

You can see my tattoos in my profile pic. I am in the staffing industry as a recruiter/marketing and sales and have a VERY good income. I can cover them up with a cardigan, if I'd like. I don't see why there's STILL such a stigma with having tattoos. I mean, my gang likes my tattoos. And even if they don't, they know I…

"Baby, can you strap my HRM for me? Thanks sexy... yeah, put it right there. Oh, you know how to really put it on a girl..." :huh:

Don't beat yourself up and wallow in self-pity when you consume unhealthy foods. It happens. AAAAAAAND.... Just keep going.

Best bet, play it safe.... say something like 'you look fantastic!' This recognizes their hard work without shining a giant light on it. I wouldn't be offended, but some people (girls especially) are very self-conscious and do not want to acknowledge weight issues because admitting you're fat makes your fat REAL.

A healthy, balanced diet is beneficial and the sooner you introduce a healthier lifestyle to your kids, the better. I have a 2 and an 11 year old. The 2 year old, my son, eats what I eat which is healthy everything. My daughter, at 11, is a different story. She's already overweight and reversing that is much harder than…

Me too, me too.

There's really no such thing as a mistake.... you either learn from the experience, or you don't and you continue in the same pattern. That being said, I love the person I've become because of what I've learned from bad experiences with love, life, career, health, etc., and wouldn't take one second back.

Oh... yeah... total 9.5.

:love: :love: :love:

Don't toy with me.

Skinny jeans are actually becoming only fashionable 'in the streets' (meaning they're not considered as fashionable as they were a few years ago). In actuality, bootcut and flared legs are making a comeback. I love my skinny jeans because they look awesome with flats. However, it's summer and flares look super cute with…

Strathmere is awesome... Cape May has some beautiful beaches... if it's Jersey girls you want, Avalon. I'm strictly South Jersey, if you couldn't tell :)

I used to make it just like you, AND I LOVE THAT DAMN DIP.... but I needed to lighten it up so I can enjoy without the guilt :)
