^ And then there is always this too. ^ :-D

What can I say? I love my husband and cannot imagine my life without him in it. My life is richer, more blessed, and way more fun because of him!

Did anyone watch the video clip from the page OP listed? The woman herself doesn't seem convinced that she is beautiful. She sounds pretty insecure and unsatisfied with the personal outcome of her project. Turns out she wasn't as liberated as she may have looked in some photographs. Maybe the project helped her love…

In love with Unity Vibration Kombucha beer--they have Ginger and Raspberry flavors. But yeah, the stuff ain't cheap, so it's more for special occasions...love it.

gross...

The hotter I get, the more my husband can't keep his paws off me. ;-) Marriages that crumble have other issues going on than weight loss...

Good Luck

Right on the money ^^

Whoa! Awesome Job!!

Gross..."Beef Extract." How do they make that?

I stuck it out and have done Jillian Michaels "Ripped in 30" every day this week while traveling. (Mixture of levels 1-3) Now I won't feel like I have to start up the momentum again when I get home on Tuesday.

And it is just that, a guide, not the end all of equations. Everyone is different. It just happens to be the right ideal for me. **who is same height and sex as OP.

"[/quote] You don't need to go to China to make this observation, just read some studies on the matter. Lean body mass potential is strongly correlated to height. The 0.1% genetic difference that makes you look different on the outside doesn't make you look any different on the inside." [/quote] Seeing is believing. I…

[/quote] "Also, to the person who first brought this up and decided to compare Americans to Chinese, there's a huge difference from a physical standpoint between the body structures of the two countries. Body structure varies considerably between nations. There is no one size fits all answer." [/quote] Have you been to…

I've done the baby-making years...it's possible. *Again* OP is looking for ways people reached their target number, this is mine. It doesn't have to be yours or hers. I am closing in on it, and t's achievable and sustainable for me.

Yes, This is one approach. Nothing is one-size fits all. OP is looking for ways others get their target, and this is only one. Dr. Fuhrman is one of the few doctors in America specializing in nutrition, and is also a world-class figure skater. He knows about maintaining lean muscle mass. I think his target weights are…

Another thing to consider--for the women--if you can remember roughly what you weighed when you started having your period, that is a good number to shoot for. For me, that also happens to be around my target of 107. As long as that system works, it's your body's proof you are at a healthy weight. I do think comparing how…

Yes, a straw "glams" it up. If you really want to make it special, get a Dharma glass drinking straw on Amazon. Elevates the experience, and I don't feel like I have to throw my head back and chug it.

So...what happens when they get wet?

Awesome GIF! Love it! My feelings exactly to the meatheads who believe all calories are equal.

But I had to stop eating it because A) It was shredding the roof of my mouth B) I could eat the whole box in one sitting, despite bloody mouth. Actually haven't had since I was probably 10, don't miss it, but still have fond memories. Too bad his title of Captain was questioned recently by the US. Navy. [/quote] captain…

Well, I agree with you OP. Yes, it also shows in your skin. Not kidding mine glows, when it use to be full of break outs and dull and dry, because I don't eat near the junk anymore. Some calories give you more bang for the buck. So the rest of ya can all go on your "calorie is a calorie" thing but at least my calories are…

You look awesome, and this is where I am headed. 5'3" currently 120. Closing in! Good for you and thanks for posting picture of where I will be soon! CONGRATULATIONS!

"Vladimir" --a lean and almost lanky white male "mutt" cat with very pointy ears/nose. "Esker"--a voluptuous soft gray female tabby who could lose some weight. They were not liter mates but get along like a happy married couple five years strong. Please spay/neuter your cats/dogs. Every year millions of innocent animals…

I'm not starving getting to 107. I just switched my focus towards eating way WAY more greens, veggies, fruits, a cup of beans/lentils a day, whole grains (not whole grain bread) and a generous serving of nuts/seeds. Steadily losing, have the energy for high intensity workouts I enjoy, and have about 12 pounds to go. I am…

heck start today! :-P

107 for me, Female, 5' 3" I am using Dr. Joel Fuhrman's guide for my ideal height. He does emphasize being on the leaner end of your weight range vs. in the middle. Here is his formula from his book, "Eat to Live": For Men: 105 lb for the first 5 ft; 5 lb for each inch over 5 ft For Women: 95 lb for the first 5 ft; 4 lb…

Or this one... Growing up, my (obese) mom would often make comments about a neighbor I would babysit for, who was very active, healthy, and had a nice figure as the result. "Well, she really works at it." Well, yeah, you DO have to work at it. :-) But being active CAN be fun!

My mom, commenting on a nice dress I was wearing: "Some day when I am skinny..." She has been OBESE since I was born 31 years ago. Been hearing about this "someday when I am skinny" stuff my WHOLE LIFE. Personally, I think she is "disappointed" that I have not gotten fat yet despite college/being happily…
