I have 2 friends who are on it - both lost a ton. One gained it all back, the other is still on it. She does the shots. I've heard horrible things about it, and from where I sit, it seems ridiculous. It's not the HCG that makes people lose. It's the extreme calorie reduction, which is dangerous as far as I'm concerned.…

I don't love to exercise. I love the endorphin high I get after I work out. I also love to read. So as a motivation, I pick out a really good book. And the only time I allow myself to read that book is when I'm on the elliptical or bike. I find that 30 minutes into it, I bump my time by about 15 because I don't want to…

I don't love exercise, but I love the "exercise high" I get each and every time I work out. I hate it while I'm doing it...except for biking and hiking. I enjoy those. I don't particularly like vegetables -but I do like asparagus tossed in coconut oil and garlic, then baked on a cookie sheet for about 7 minutes. And fresh…

I had my first daughter when I was 30 and my second when I was 32. I'm now 39, and I am so very glad I waited until I was in my 30s. I have so much more patience, I have my career, and I feel more confident about my decisions. It is funny though; one of my former students and I have kids the same age, in the same class.…

I have two children from my previous marriage - We waited 10 years to have kids. You know, to make sure our marriage would last. Five years after our first daughter was born, he bailed because he was "unhappy." Suddenly, I was an unemployed (I was a stay at home mom - quit my job like we had agreed I would) single mother.…

Yep. This. I noticed after I dropped 20 pounds I was suddenly getting hit on constantly. I gained it back, barely got a glance. Back down 12 pounds, and I'm starting to turn heads again. I've noticed this the past month especially at the gym. It's as if I suddenly became visible. And I don't mind. As far as my taste in…

I have the exact same problem. I started lifting about 4 months ago, and I lift heavy (to become stronger and build more muscle). I'm losing weight, and my pants, around the waist, are huge. But they are actually tighter in my thigh area now. I spoke with a trainer, and he said to lift light. Stop trying to build muscle…

Awesome! And all so very true! I've lost 12 pounds in 3 months. This is 1 pound a week. I've never lost weight this slowly before. Usually I do that "starve myself until it flies off, and don't exercise because I have no energy." I'm doing it differently this time. I'm exercising 6 days a week, lifting heavy, and eating a…

I drink one cup of green tea a day. I find that it does boost my metabolism. I don't drink a ton, though because of all the caffeine it has. I agree with everyone on here - You should try to eat more. When I need a caloric boost, and I don't "feel" like eating (which just really never happens with me -I love food!), I add…

LOL - My work out buddy and I call those "Manbabies." HA HA HA! Oh everyone just CALM DOWN. I'm kidding! (not really - we do call them that)

What my kid said there helps keep me motivated. I'm a teacher, and honestly, this is my worst year ever. I have very challenging classes. At the end of the day, it's all I can do sometimes to just drag my *kitten* to the gym. But those words echo in my head because I know if I go right home, I'm too wound up from dealing…

I don't have a lot of money, and I don't have a lot for extras. Most of what I make goes into supporting my family. I decided to take part of my tax return and join a gym. That $30 a month is the only money I spend on myself. I made my physical health a priority, and I don't feel guilty for the 90 minutes a day I take for…

I always stare a Klondike bar down, and begin listing all the things I WOULDN'T do for one. Yeah. That's right Klondike. I'm not your b***h.

Wait. What? We can CHOOSE the sex of our children? *Face palm*

I thought I was the only one out there. Balloons terrify me. I've been known to take balloons that are blown up AWAY from people and deflate them. People think it's funny to chase me with balloons...they soon learn their error.

^This^ Yes. Me too. My first meal is around 11. If I try to eat before then, I feel sick. Then I'm starving before lunch and over eat. Your body is a perfectly designed UNIQUE machine. I've tried to force myself to eat breakfast because people told me I would lose weight - You know, it would "rev" up my metabolism. I…

I'm only one voice in a million, and you ain't takin' that from me.

Ahhh...a voice of reason. Thank you for sharing this. I wondered if the parents had been given any kind of education about proper nutrition. I also was questioning the mother's emotional health. I do have to ask though...where is this child's father? Another one who walked away? So easy to do in our society. BOTH parents…

Yes. I had this happen too. I was super irritable. I posted about it on my profile, and one of my friends suggested that it might be my body withdrawing from the refined sugar and preservatives. I do take a multi-vitamin and fish oil supplements. I think maybe it's just our bodies adjusting. Make sure you are getting…

I'm a high school teacher, and my guess is that you've impressed them with your education, so they are looking for that "stuff" you just can't teach. You either have it or you don't. They'll be looking for how quickly you develop a rapport with the kids, the way you interact, and the balance between discipline and…

I just fell in love...AGAIN. Who DOESN'T like Thinkgeek.com????

Drink and play online.

If I play my cards right ;-)

Um....I'm just waiting for the man-meat to get home and take me out to dinner. There will be lingering looks over libations. Maybe some good conversation. And peanuts. There are always peanuts. And later? Well now...

And then I ate her. Tasted like chicken.

When he shows up home from work with a 12 pack of beer because he knows I've had a hard day. That's romance.

When it's warm, we bbq and then play a lawn game (We have Jarts - the last set in the US - ha ha). We also play bochi ball, frisbee, volleyball, soccer, and badmiton. In the cooler weather, we all bring a dish, and either play board games or watch movies. Sometimes we just hang out and visit with a bottle of wine.

I won't miss my back pain. I won't miss NOT turning heads. I won't miss having to do the deed in the dark because I'm insecure about my weight. I won't miss feeling bad about myself.
