That's awful when that sort of thing happens. I have gotten the same thing a few times but I think its more because I have short hair. If nothing else, the boobs should give it away that I'm not a guy. Don't let it get you down. I'm sure it was just a mistake or just an automatic response to the next person in line is to…

Ewwww, popping zits in the mirror at the gym thats sick. :sick: :sick: :laugh: Funniest thing I've ever seen was a little chippie (aka 20 year old with a really good figure and knows it and the outfit matches) all dressed in a black spandex thing who thought she was fiercely hot, strutting her stuff for all to see (BTW I…

Thanks everyone! I actually did throw together a protein shake managed to get it down in one shot (man that stuff can be a little gross) and immediatley put the gym shorts on. As soon as I got outside in my shorts and boots (yes I said boots) I woke up. The temp was well below freezing and it was snowing so I was awake…

When its nice out during the summer I run (jog really) at around 10pm when the sun is going down. The problem is that I feel great afterwards and it takes a long time to settle down and fall asleep. What about setting your exercise time for around 9 until 10? Not sure your schedule but a shower and unwind until 11 might…

and I need to get to the gym after work. I am glued to my desk (can't move literally). Anyone have any good "wakeup" suggestions so I get in the mood to change into my gym clothes in about an hour and get my lazy, tired butt to the gym? :yawn: :yawn: :yawn: :yawn: :yawn:

I love pod runner! New music every couple of days! Its techno/dance/tribal etc but it has a great beat that makes you move. Plus, its free!!!!! :smile:

I know, I know, I know - counting carbs instead of calories isn't good but....I have gained weight with counting calories instead of carbs. To make that stick purple, drink your eight glasses of water per day, then drink another glass for each 10 lbs need to lose for your "ideal" weight. Also, you must incorporate 45…

I have been cheering for Allie since day 1. She just seemed the most motivated! She said from the first show that she was the biggest loser and she did it. I can't believe how much her body transformed from typical frumpy to lean and muscular. The Kelly and Roger looked fantastic too! What a change. Girls rule!!!

I weigh in tomorrow as well. Congrats Rem for the huge weight loss - that truly is amazing. Good luck to all and I will post tomorrow (hopefully is either the same or less) Char :flowerforyou:

I have a couple of comments to add as well. You know your bf better than anyone on here. I would agree that him calling you fat is verbally abusive but..... is he saying it to be mean or does he think it gives you the motivation you need. I mean really, no one ever wants to be called fat ever. It really doesn't matter if…

I know how you feel. I don't seem to be able to get back into it. Completely unmotivated. I'm watching what I eat for the most part and going for walks but its not enough. I keep gaining and losing the same 5lbs all the time!!!!! I need to get back to the gym and kick my own @$$ on the eliptical.

I do an hour + of cardio when I'm at the gym (5x/wk) and then about 20 minutes of either a circuit or weight training. I also walk my dogs everyday - rain or shine - and I play soccer. Not a lot of sitting at my house :laugh: The cardio I enjoy most is the elliptical and stationary bike. I hate hate hate the treadmill and…

I've tried to watch it a couple of times. I don't know about anyone else but I barely have time to sit down and eat. I put my food on a small plate and eat standing up. My life (two teens, three dogs, husband, job, gym) doesn't really afford me time to really smell the roses. I cook properly, and I just make sure I eat my…

Chocolate cheesecake! YUMMIE!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm carb sensitive too. I had lost a bunch of weight doing Atkins and then gained some back. I am now doing the cutting the calorie thing and its not working out for me but......I do feel so much better. My skin has cleared up and I'm not so cranky anymore. I just find that because I am not eating +/- 30g of carbs a day I…

Hey, if you want to send them to me, I'll 'dispose' of them for ya :laugh: We don't have super yummy delicious sounding diet chocolate cherry dr pepper up here in Canada :sad: :drinker: Charlene :drinker:

Recently I've started watching this show - How to look good naked. I have to share some of the things I've learned and shared with my daughter. If your not familiar with the show here it goes: A woman that deams herself to be unattractive, strips to her undies in a three way mirror while camera's scan her up and down. She…

I have to tell ya'll, I was so excited to watch the show last night. I knew something good was going to happen for the ladies! As they were weighing in I was on the edge of my seat! And when they dropped such big numbers I laughed my evil laugh. My hubby told me I was a loser but I don't care. Those guys are such @$$es.…

I forgot my salad dressing at home so I put my salad in the fridge and ate another yogurt and peanuts. Can't eat salad without dressing can you......?

What about getting your significant other to work out with you? I've tried it and its a good suggestion, but alas my hubby just sits there asking if I'm almost done yet. :laugh:

I am so terribly sorry for your loss. I started tearing up ready rainbow bridge and had to stop and I couldn't read the rest of the replies. Please just know that we are all thinking of you and your family. Sometimes people think that it shouldn't affect you too deeply because it was just an animal. This was a family…

I grew up on Sugar Twin and have recently moved to Splenda. Had to for medical reasons. I tend to crave sweets all the time anyway but I have a green tea with a packet of splenda and I'm good. I've been wanting to try Stevia.....anyone out there try it yet?

I saw the last 15 minutes of the show - sad to see Brit go. I was a little disappointed that Allie voted for Brit. Same with Dan. I would love to see a girl win but I don't know if that will ever happen. They guys seem to have stronger alliances. The only justice will be when the guys start picking themselves off and then…

Diann, I'm sorry to hear that you are going through a hard time. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Hopefully the bugger that was calling you won't do it again tonight. To everyone else....Way to Go! (shakin my cheerleader pom poms in my bad fitting cheerleading outfit from high school :laugh: ) What an accomplishment…

He can't hurt you anymore! Be strong and in control. A bully loves nothing more than hitting your button that sets you off. If you know what he is going to say/do to hurt you just be prepared for it and that way it won't hurt so much. I think there are many of us that have been or are in the same type of situation you are…

Did your doctor say you could go for a walk when you are feeling up to it? When I had surgery my doc said to just take it easy for 8-10 weeks. I couldn't. I found that I had to get up and move because I started hurting from just laying there. I guess it really depends on the surgery you are having.

Sorry to hear that you are going through a rough time. I too am an emotional eater and I will be totally honest with you..... If I can curb it with gum (which is usually what I try first) or a fruit then great, if not I will eat what it is what I want - chips, chocolate or whatever. I find its easier to cave in and have…

That's fantastic! Good for you!!!!! Now you get to go shopping and get some fun new stuff! :happy: Charlene

Thanks for your support everyone! :flowerforyou: Its amazing being on here and getting such great support and advice from everyone - its very motivating. Since I have been on here, I find I push myself more with exercise and have good realistic goals set for myself. Its all about the health and not the size 6. Charlene…

I play kinda competitive soccer (I'm competitive anyway :wink: ) and I thought I would try going for a run/jog last night in hopes to improve my endurance. Turns out I did way better than I thought I would!!!! I am extremely excited and proud (shocked too!) to tell ya'll that I did pretty good and jogged about 5K with very…
