wall situps? They're more of a crunch really, but add a little variety to the workout.

I also suffer from PCOS. It affects hormones, blood sugar and can make it hard to lose weight. I have to watch not only my calories but also my carbs. I have found that a high protein low carb diet (while still watching my calories) is the best way for me to lose weight. I'm not taking extremely low carb (60-80 grams per…

Might did that as well. I looked like my legs were melting for awhile there. lol but they look better as the fat came off.

I feel for you. Keep your head up and know that you aren't in the wrong for what happened. No matter what her excuse is for having done it. Being unfaithful says something about her not you. I know it hurts like hell as I have been there done that (ex-spouse). Only I went the other way as although I was hurt, I was mad as…

Was thinking that myself. lol

I only told my immediate family before I had the surgery. Only because I didn't need or want anyone else's negative comments or feedback. Afterwards when people asked how I was losing weight, I told them I had surgery and how it was a tool that I used with diet and exercise to get the weight off and keep it off. I made…

I have one and I love it. Wanting to get another soon. To each their own, some love them, some hate them. I don't like face and neck tats personally and would never personally get a tat that can't be covered with normal clothing (regular shoes, long pants, long sleeves) only because some people are judgemental as all get…

My doctor and nutritionist neither one have ever said no milk. Both however did tell me that after the first 2 months, they did not want me relying on protein shakes for my protein needs. They wanted me to eat my protein in the form of real food and protein shakes should only be used as the occasional meal replacement from…

Men are visual creatures so I'm guessing he's likes what he saw in the pictures or he wouldn't have asked you out. Go and have fun. Be confident in who you are and what you have accomplished. Confidence is attractive and sexy.

hot & spicy pork rinds and a diet Dr Dew (Diet Dr Depper and diet Mt Dew mixed) Breakfast of champions! lol

Southern Illinois (very southern Illinois as in 6 hours south of Chicago near where the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers meet at Cairo) and I'm a buyer at a power plant.

Me too on the turkey bites. I got to where I was eating the entire bag in one sitting or in the course of an afternoon anyway. Those things started as a great source of protein for a snack and ended up being the devil. lol I also have issues with turkey pepperoni as I can eat the entire package as well and any kind of…

I was 37 when I had surgery. At that time my period came about every 25 days and lasted 7 days. After surgery, mine started coming every 20-21 days and lasting 7-10 days each time. Flow was always extremely heavy. I ended up having a Mirena IUD implanted when i was 38 because I needed effective BC and it helped with my…

Pure protein bars are good. I like the caramel nut.

EAS Advantedge chocolate or strawberry or Pure Protein Chocolate. All are RTD shakes. I still can't stand powdered shakes after 3 1/2 yrs. I only use them occasionally as a meal replacement now though.

I take Centrum Complete Chewable Vitamins. I take 2 each day. Now they also make a Centrum Complete Gummy Vitamin. I haven't tried them as I don't do gummy things but may be worth a try. I tried Celebrate chewable vitamins and calcium but they are too sweet and upset my stomach to the point of vomiting. I also take the…

I walk here sometimes during my lunch. I just bring clothes to change into for exercising and then change back into my work clothes and freshup a bit with baby wipes and deodorant. Several girls here use to use one of the conference rooms (with a tv and DVD player) to do workout videos during lunch. Is that a possibility?…

I just bought a few outfits each time I dropped 2 sizes. They were baggy but not falling off by the time I replaced them with correctly fitting clothes each time. I also had some pieces stored away from past weight loss attempts that I fit back into as the weight came off.

I don't worry about my batwings. lol I have learned to live with them. I bought a tankini with a good built in bra (kinda gotta have one when you are a DDD anyway) and my bottom is a skirt. It's pretty short but covers my biggest issues which are the upper thigh and hip region. I have also bought a one piece that looks…

Newly married with an 11 year old daughter and 10 year old stepson. I'm 40 (turn 41 next month) I'm 5'5" and currently 212. I started at 325 3 1/2 years ago, hit a low of 178 just over 2 years ago and once I settled comfortably into a relationship. I started slipping back into old habits and the pounds started coming back…

I go through lengthy periods of time when I basically eat the same foods every day for all my meals and snacks. It makes meal planning and grocery shopping easy. I eat it until I get tired of it then I change things up a bit.

40 here (41 at the end of June) needing to lose about 30 pounds to get back to my weight of about 2 years ago and would like to lose about 50 pounds total.

chili lime pork rinds are the bomb

salads, turkey pepperoni and string cheese, cottage cheese or tuna (or chicken) salad on a bed of lettuce with other chopped veggies (pepper strips, celery, etc)

I understand. As a single mom, I sometimes feel bad because although my daughter is in school all day not at daycare, I still hate having to have someone else watch her for me to do my thing. Honestly though it is for the good of both you and your son for you to be in good health. I have come to realize that I'm not taking…

We think surgery will make us normal. lol but what is normal? I have come to the conclusion that I will never have a "normal" relationship with food. I will always have to watch my weight. I can do that a few different ways, but I will always have to stay on top of it so I don't get out of control. I can continously watch…
