Added you!

YouTube has a TON of workouts that you can do that are around 20-30 minutes, and they range from strength training/calisthenics (using your own body weight) to cardio. And they are free. I live in a teeny, tiny town, and we don't have a gym (yet). I do a ton of walking, biking, and when the weather is crap, I use the…

Okay, so I was wondering about the whole how alcohol is burned. When I used MFP a couple of years ago, I worked beer into my daily calorie goal - but the weight came off sooooooo slow. This time, I just cut out beer except for maybe 2-3 a week. The weight has come off a LOT faster...I mean, a LOT faster. So the idea that…

This. 100% This. I HATED how I felt when I was heavy. I hated that family members felt making negative comments about my body was acceptable. I hated how I looked in the mirror. And I had no one to blame but myself and my own lack of control. How I eat in moderation: I visualize what I will look like when I reach my goal…

This. Oh, and in for the gifs.

About 7 days before, I stall. Then, 2-3 days before, I can gain anywhere from 2-5 pounds. I don't weigh myself during this time. I use an app called My Days so I can track this. That way I don't unwittingly get on the scale, see I'm up 2 pounds when I've done everything right, have a complete and total meltdown, and eat an…

:drinker: I teach high school Seniors. I think I'll read this to them on their last day. :drinker:

This. You can't tell someone else what he needs to do. I'm more fit and thinner than my husband, but when I was heavy, he never said word one to me about my weight. I would have been crushed if he had...especially if he had told me (or anyone) that he was not as physically attracted to me as he once was. My MIL made a…

I second this.

I didn't dream about wavy Lays. But I did dream about BBQ Lays. And Black Butte Porter. I was swimming the the porter, and the Lays were my floatation device...and I was eating them. But since it was beer, and my floatation device was a giant, salty chip, I just drank the beer and didn't die. I woke up because I had to…

I seriously walked my *kitten* off yesterday so I could seriously have three beers. It was glorious.

HA HA HA HA! ^^^THIS^^^ :heart: :heart: :heart: :bigsmile:

I am a secondary English teacher, and I just want to say to everyone reading this: PLEASE don't think all teachers are like this. I once worked in a lower income school, and many of my students came to school hungry. I provided snack packs of Goldfish crackers, as well as granola bars for these students. I didn't ask…

OP- Are you on any new medications? Lifestyle change? Stress? When I got my new job, packed, moved, etc., I was under a huge amount of stress, and I was also taking a new medication. I gained 8 pounds in one month. Nothing in my diet had changed. So, yes, it is possible. Look at all the variables.

THANK YOU for posting this!!! I am outraged that Obama signed the GMO Bill. What a betrayal! In our family, we've already been switching over to organic, but this list makes it so much easier. Thanks!

The bottom line is you need to get fit and be healthy for you. If you try to do it for anyone else, you will fail. Think back to how good you felt when you were exercising and eating right. I HATE to exercise. I try to talk myself out of it every day. Over this past winter, I was like you - stressed, over-worked, and…

I kind of suspected this all along. I think this is why it's so important to listen to your body's needs. Eat when you're hungry - when you feel your stomach growling. And stop when you are satisfied. NOT FULL. But satisfied. Thanks for sharing!

^^^This^^^ - Sad that a lot of men are saying sex or a bj. *Le sigh* My husband gets a bottle of JD, chocolate (not that crap kind in a box, but REAL chocolate), and we usually order something from a restaurant. That way we don't have to deal with the VD crowd. I like Valentine's Day. In my last marriage, we stopped…

I only trust people who like big butts. They cannot lie.

Contemplated drinking a beer with my lunch. Decided that would probably send me in a downward spiral that would only result in drunken debauchery. So I had water instead.

OMG!!! HA HA HA! YES!!! I am right there with you, sister. And yes, seriously -the fact that he still comes home to me every night. That's how I know.

Awwww- I'm remarried now. Not sure how that happened. But now I'm getting the "When are you guys going to have another baby" questions. Um. Uh. What. The. F**k are you talking about? This baby making factory is closed. My new MIL still hasn't accepted that. I have to tell her to stay out of my uterus. And that's how I…

Just say, "I'm seeing a LOT of someones." And then wink. I did this when my ex husband said very accusingly after he left me (for another woman), "I KNOW you have a boyfriend." I said, "Oh honey, I don't have a boyfriend. I have a LOT of boyfriends." Leaves them speechless. :drinker:

You know those lovely Saturday mornings when, after sleeping in, you roll over, look at your beloved, and you know...*wink wink nudge nudge*? Yeah. Kiss those moments goodbye. Kiss sleeping in goodbye...ever again. Kiss sex whenever you want it (IF you want it because quite frankly, being a new mom is EXHAUSTING. This goes…

Actually, this is incorrect. My daughter is in the 4th grade in District 81, and she is being taught cursive. This is s a school to school thing, not a district thing. I'm glad she's being taught it, but it's not as if I can't teach her it myself. It's easy enough. I'd rather she learn to type.

When I wear high heels and a cute outfit, and my husband sees me in it = that look he gets in his eyes when he glances over me, as his eyes take it all in. THAT look. You know the one. That makes me feel beautiful.

I bought my Great Dane about four years ago from a pet store, and I paid $600 for her. I believe you pay less for males. I'm trusting that she has purchased a pure bred before, and knows that at least one of the parents should be on site to inspect. And to ask about the history of the parents - hip dysplasia, thyroid…

Yep - This. When I lift, I lift to failure, and do between 8-12 reps. And I do between 3-4 sets each. My reps get less with each set. I bump my weight up every 2-4 weeks depending on what I have achieved (i.e. if I can now do 15 reps). But do I get offended by someone who says he is lifting heavy? No. Why would I care?

My cravings are real. My uterus demands chocolate and potato chips one day a month. I do not argue with the uterus. No I do not.

I have a big butt. I cannot lie. About a year ago or so, my husband called my butt a "wrecking ball." It devastated me. DEVASTATED me. I KNOW what my butt looks like. I know it's round and out there. Six months ago, I started exercising - 6 days a week, 60-90 minutes a DAY. Guess what? My *kitten* is still big. So you know…
