I definitely experience this. I went on a long hike and was obviously in better shape than everyone else conditioning-wise, I didn't mind a single hill! This was due to running on an incline on my treadmill 5 days a week. Thanks to some loss my pants were too loose and kept slipping down showing the bottom of my tummy, and…

I exercise with a more relaxed attitude and eat with a more relaxed attitude during my last days of PMS / First days of period. I have noticed, right on that cusp, that I sometimes barely sweat. This can make the work outs brutal! So I take it easy, keep ice water handy and do my best to stay cool. I've also read that,…

Wow, congratulations, you look very nice!

That's so cute : ) Congrats!

Sort of? I can go months without, but I do find them nice for junk-food snacks. I'm not much for them as meals (tried KFC last week for the first time in probably 2+ years, my dogs ended up with about 80% of my meal, just can't handle it) but every now and then I want french fries without cooking them myself and some of…

Yeah, I don't think I have a timeline right now... I had hoped to lose 17 lbs from Oct 7 -Dec 25, but have been stuck at 7 lost for a bit. I don't want to stress too much, so long term goal is about -25 more, fit in to my skinny jeans etc :) Thinking about pulling out my favorites and hanging them around the house for…

Thank goodness it's only a guide since 77x7700 does not equal 130,900. X_x I think you meant the 17kg (what she wants to burn).

Must be nice! I spend HOURS on my house each day. 3 little boys, a slob of a hunk, two fluffy cats, two dogs... Just the dirt tracked in from letting the dogs out 7 times a day?! The fur is NEVER ending, the 'messies!' as our little one calls spills, there are on most days 5 loads of laundry between towels, wet beds,…

This is what I was going to say.

Unfortunately this problem is likely to never be solved :)

It annoys the heck out of me. Really, really annoys me. I too find it nails on chalkboardish. May as well just go around saying, "Saccharin! Syrup! Suuuuuugar water!" Total gag-me-with-a-spoon. It sounds like ******* baby talk.

I've never gotten them, so this is second hand advice I remember from when I was younger- try walking uphill to strengthen the muscles. I always do this when I am in running phases and remember another runner saying it helped her shin splints and wondering if my doing it was helping prevent me from getting them. Luck!

Good luck! Mine always touch, even at 120 :P i remember getting wet in shorts at a theme park and I got a terribly painful rash because of my inner thighs rubbing. My mother's don't touch at 5'5" and 115, but I don't think I can prevent it without real starvation. I really look forward to everything improving! Here's to…

Welcome : ) feel free to add me! I'm a mom trying to lose flub in hopes of having another.

^awesome Also like bye bye & I'm too sexy for this race. And "This was just my view" for people you pass.

Every time I stop weighing myself I gain weight. I've finally adopted a long-term goal to get to goal weight and maintain it for a year, then i'll figure it out from there. I know it will involve weighing.

Yikes. Most of these I've never done, but funny :) The only one I saw and have done is pjs. I hate when people do it as well, but after my c-section pants were not an option for a couple of weeks. Not real ones at least. It was cold and I remember wearing warm flannel pj pants with a sweater and flip flops because I…

For my house it isn't just Christmas- it's "birthday month" (OCT), Halloween (with three kids), thanksgiving then Christmas. We tend to eat out for NYE as well. And we have soooo much cookie making between t-day and Christmas! But I always try to shed weight before it. This time I just have a little (lot) extra to shed. As…

I would start by always eating breakfast. Then consider what you did eat and if something isn't sitting well with you. I like to exercise before eating when I can (I can eat with my toddler but exercising with him? Well that's how I gained 30 pounds!), but try to eat soon after, and only when that means exercise is the…

His BMI is in the healthy range. My 6'5"er used to weigh around 180. I like him best around 220. But what he looks like is what he looks like. It doesn't change because of the number. Maybe he's shorter than you think/he thinks? Mine turned out to be taller than he thought x_x only took me 8 years to convince him!

I'd like to participate.

Very nice! I've been struggling with pounds loss, but my clothes definitely started fitting different and I remind myself "giving up" means giving that back... And I don't wanna :P

I usually exercise through colds. It seems to big time speed up healing and diminish symptoms. But yesterday I woke up with one I won't run away from. I'm really dizzy and weak this time, probably from lack of sleep (19 mo/old is pretty sick with it too which is meaning very little sleep for me). You just go by what you…

Are you legally separated? At the least write up separation statements and have it notarized. Up until the point he left, yes. He gets half. That's fair. Not a day more. He is giving financial assistance, but were you divorced he couldn't ask for half of a years assets on anything. If you're in an apartment that's yours.…

I weigh throughout each day. I like to weigh after I drink a lot of fluid or right before and after ridding of a lot of fluid. I love numbers! I compare my morning numbers, though. I get up, weigh myself, undress, pee, weigh myself. Its silly but I love getting on the scale and seeing how fickle the number can be. I think…

An unconventional suggestion: sweeten black tea (or whatever) with 2tbsp xylitol. I drink small amounts of xylitol each day, but I did this once and it was a shock to my system. No pain, but way effective.

No, but I wish! I'd give then to me and my son nightly if so :) we have so much trouble with our sleep.

I have been waiting to hear what this was. I assumed it was like numbing strips to kill taste for periods of time, this just sounds... Stupid. Thanks for posting!

I'm in a similar boat, 3 pounds in 60-something days. But I am healthier. Yesterday I netted under 1,200 calories. That's way low for me, I usually average 1800+. But I'm not quitting. I keep giving what I'm doing a shot, then changing it a bit when I still get no results. I've received some nice compliments recently, and…
