People save your money for smaller clothes after you lose the weight through legit diet and exercise, and skip this snake oil. I tried them a couple times (even signed up as a distributor when it was free to do so). A bunch of over-priced junk. I hate seeing these companies screw people out of hard-earned money like this.…

Amen to that! I was active duty Army for 4 years (hello, Fort Riley). I've been in the AF for the last 12 - ANG. I have loved EVERY second of it. I love my job, love my Commanders, love the people I work with. I'm not AGR/Technician, but I manage to be on orders about 200-250 days a year, between being at Home Station or…

I'm in Marion! Feel free to add me! :)

Okay - i am ALL about making new friends! I think I friend requested everyone on the first page. I'm anxious to try out some new Pilates videos, so getting offline for a while, but everyone please feel free to add me. We can all motivate each other! :happy:

I know males are different than females, but is 7% body fat for a guy even healthy? Isn't that way too low?

Thank you SO much for sharing - you are awesome! I will have to check it out in the morning when I do my daily workout! :)

My puppies are in my ticker. Kya (on the right) just turned 4 - she's a Husky/Shep mix. Shelby (on the left, passed out under her blankie) will be 3 next month - she's a Husky/Shep/Yellow Labby mix. I could talk about them all day. I love seeing all these pics of everyone's babies! :)

Yes, it will! Just eat healthy, and do exercises to strengthen that core! Pilates is great, and lifting weights is good, too. You CAN do it!~

I *kitten* you not - I went to take the Civil Service Exam in Wichita in 2007 - I was dressed in a suit and heels. A ton of people came to the exam - many in business/casual, many in jeans. One chick came in PJ bottoms and fuzzy slippers. I am not even lying. All I could think was "WTH?" Hopefully if she passed the exam,…

I used to be a HUGE fan of cheat days. But it's SO hard to get myself right the next day - I'd then tell myself - "okay, two cheat days won't hurt anything." Then my whole life and exercise plan would get derailed and I'd find myself in a never-ending string of cheat days, and depressed and unmotivated. If I don't eat…

We recently moved to southern Illinois after living in Taylorville for a year. We kind of miss it. :)

Welcome! I hope your knee is healing well. Feel free to friend me if you'd like, and we can motivate each other. :)

I'm 5'9 and when I'm out and about (and not in uniform), I'm usually in 4" - 5.5" heels. My hubby is 6'5 so I forget that we are Jolly Green Giants, til I go out with my friends and tower over everyone. LOL :laugh: Nice to meet other tall ladies! :wink:

Another vote for strong black coffee. That should get things moving right along. Good luck, OP! :smile:

I do, when it is above 40 degrees out. I always rode cheaper bikes that were uncomfy, but I bought myself a Trek 820 as a welcome-home gift to myself when I got home from an overseas deployment. We have several great bike trails around here, and my hubby (another Trek guy - he's worn out one and just bought a new one) and…

That's what I was always taught. :smile: And I was born and raised in Little Egypt and finally found my way home recently. But I like Dan's definition, too. I get SO tired of people finding out I live in Illinois and then asking me how I like Chicago. Um, I'm like, as far away from there as you can get and still be in…

TOTALLY agree on this! I have worn a 34DD for years, thinking that was my size, because I couldn't find anything else around here. They never quite fit right, though. About 2 months ago, I went to St. Louis and got PROFESSIONALLY fitted. I'm a freaking 30G. What a HUGE difference the right size makes. No spillage out the…

OMG! This thread is hilarious - I'm getting a great ab workout from LAUGHING! LOLOLOL

LOL I'm only a 30G, so I just smash 'em down and go. :)

Am I the only person in this thread that doesn't care about uniboob? LOL I don't care what they look like as long as they are tied down and not making a spectacle of themselves. LOL ;)

I'm pretty well-endowed, too. I found that Champion makes some really good ones, and you can get them at Walmart. They are a satiny feeling material. Not sure if they are actual compression-style sports bras or not, but they are on clearance for $5 right now. I hate running enough as it is, I certainly don't want to worry…

I'm down south, in Marion! Feel free to add me - new friends are always good! :)

I'm originally from Burnt Prairie, IL, in White County. My job has taken me all over the place, but we just moved to Marion recently. It's good to see other southern Illinois folks here! :) Also - feel free to add me if you'd like - I'm always up for new friends. :)

I tried the pills - I took one bottle and they did nothing. I have used the drink mix on and off for maybe 2 years. I DO see results with it. I have broken my ankle three times in the last three years, and the SlimQuick drink packets are especially helpful when I am in the cast and can't work out. And when I'm all healed…

I'm new to this, so I am going to start off with 35 miles for the month! I try to run 2.5 miles every other day, so that should be about right. :) Good luck to everyone!
