Ladies who follow the New Rules of Weightlifting -- What kind of equipment does it require? A full gym, or just free weights?

I make a sauce that's equal parts ketchup/mayo/horseradish. Don't hate, it's within my calories. And it's awesome on burgers.

When he finally gave me the ring, he didn't ask. I didn't say yes. He gave me the little box, I pulled the ring out... smiled.. and put it on. We already felt married.. and as you said, the ring and marriage were just a formality.

My hubby and I feel that you develop a much healthier relationship if you're forced to keep the physical aspect at bay for awhile. We had fuller discussions and were able to talk about our future plans without sex getting in the way. We've been together 6 1/2 years now, and I couldn't imagine being with anyone else.

Ladies, ladies, ladies... Please. My husband and I met online. Online. Yes, we are nerds. We'd speak on the phone every day. For hours. And text like crazy. Etc, etc, etc.. We spent a year like this before we actually met face to face. The conversation I'm about to divulge happened shortly before we moved in together.…

Grats! That's a HUGE victory. I can't wait to do the medium pants dance. :)

Our Aldis is a bit out of the way, but I think I'll make the trek up there now. And my sister shops there all the time -- and she warned me to stay away from the meat. She said the frozen chicken breasts are okay, but everything else should be avoided.

You look awesome! You even look younger now.. Congrats! :)

That. Looks. Amazing. I'm going to have to get that one.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grape_seed_oil Grapeseed oil is a vegetable oil.

The problem is, you posted a snarky topic and then left it for hours for everyone to reply to. Which they did. And who the heck uses vegetable oil for things other than cooking? Are people putting vetable oils in salad dressings? I haven't seen it. And vegetable oil is the cheapest oil my grocery store sells. Period. I'm…

Oh damn. I'm gonna have to take more walks now.

Yum! Saving this for later.

Apples, celery, toasted english muffin (sometimes with honey)

I've tried both of these as well, and I agree with you on both. The only difference, is that I AM a total beginnier -- and the kickboxing video kicked my butt. And I'll reiterate that the bellydancing was boring. Even as a beginner I hardly broke a sweat.

I have to tell myself DURING my splurge: Damage control, DAMAGE CONTROL. I know once you start sliding you just wanna lay back and let yourself go, but you need to remind yourself that all that food you're consuming is just going to make this all harder for you in the long run.

If I left my diary open everyone would know just how much coffee I drink every day. There might be an intervention. It could get ugly.

Another thing to consider, is the fact that your calorie goal slowly lowers as you lose weight. You don't want him eating like he weights 150lbs when he weights 290lbs. That would be hard for him to maintain, and with his BMR calculated in he would be burning way more than he was eating. Bigger people need more calories to…

I just worry that if I had my diary public I would be too ashamed to log when I had a bad day. I'm not sure I did a very good job of getting that point across. lol

For me, my diary being private keeps me honest. I am my own worst critic and I don't need the extra shame of having everyone know that I splurged on tacos the other night. I know. I'm ashamed of it. I beat myself up over it and had to be reassured by my husband. I still logged every taco, and the giant Dr. Pepper I drank…

Cucumbers! And how do I like them? How DON'T I like them? They're awesome on sandwiches, in salads, in homemade tzatziki.. yumyum!

I didn't gain any weight when I quit smoking. I chewed a lot a lot a looooot of sugar free gum. Find something to keep your hands busy. And for Pete's sake, quit cold turkey. It's the best way. Weening yourself of doesn't work, it just keeps the nicotine addiction going inside your body, and you're basically just torturing…

Good lord Rachel Ray has ruined the world with her EVOO. First, as many people have already pointed out.. Olive oil is not the only oil in the universe. Oils have different smoke points. Foods have different cooking temperatures. Add to those two facts, this one: Olive oil has a low smoke point, therefor it is not good for…

Yum! Saving this for later.

This looks delish! I'm gonna have to save this for later. :)

It's incredibly helpful to see someone halfway through to my own goal. 250 seems like such a daunting number, but you're proof that it can be done. You look amazing, and thank you for posting this. It's very inspirational.

From a fellow SAP: Welcome! I've sent a friend request. :)

I didn't read anything anyone else said, but I think sticking a knife in your eye is a horrible idea. I'm pretty sure it's full of carbs. There's reports on this, but I'm too lazy to find them.

What a blanking blank. Good on you for quitting drinking. The health benefits are phenominal. I watched my mother's health soar when she quit. You're not missing anything at all, except a bunch of people making fools of themselves.
