It's been 3 years of losing weight, working out and getting down to a size 6...but I still feel like the fat me.

Check out Pat Flynn. https://www.facebook.com/chroniclesofstrength

Not alone. My husband is an overweight guy and he gets hit on when we're out. I'm relatively fit and no matter how I've dressed, nada. Little blow to the ego. =P

Minnesota here, hi neighbor. Not really a Football fan, I'll usually root for the guy with the ball. ;)

I recommend looking into workouts by Pat Flynn. I personally love kettlebells, I'm hoping to get a full range of competition bells when I actually have the room to store them!

Honestly, if it weren't for my kids screwing with the balance board so easily, I'd have this thing out/on more often. The games are fun, it gives pretty accurate weight readings and I have no doubt it would actually assist in losing weight if continued regularly.

I got a tank top with a kettlebell on it and a necklace with a barbell plate on it with the words 'redefine beautiful' written on it. <3

I'm here! I hoop at a class once a week and then whenever I can at home. =)

I think the quality has definitely gone down over the years, now all I can taste when I bite into them is sugar, but for us it's just tradition. Whenever they get hard and clumped together, we just take big chunks and enjoy them with a glass of milk!

Fabulous! Then again, I come to expect awesomeness from you. =) Not something I'm willing to tackle right now, but love the idea of the challenge~!

Right now I'm focusing on training and eating 'better' instead of eating 'right'. It seems to be working, I'm definitely losing inches and soon to drop pounds, I'm sure. =)

I want to read the manga, but because I loved the series so much, I'm holding off. Love the animation. Love the character development. /shivers

Major Kusanagi. I mean, I'd have to become a cyborg, but I think I'm okay with that.

Love this group idea, I would love to see if it gets more play. I want Levi's babies. I'm Nikki. Looking to become badass.

It really is just a dress up game, but I can't help it. Have to make sure I feed those guys. XD

I'm willing to give pretty much anything a try, but I have to admit, that sounds disgusting. Oh, I also got to try Izzy's Jello Salad Ice-cream. It was pretty good.

Blue Door here in MN has some fantastic Juicy Lucy's. I'm partial to any burger that has a fried egg on top.

I feel ya! We have a clothing swap every couple of months so clients can get 'new' clothes and get rid of their 'fat' clothes. It helps everyone and it's a great social event. =)

It took me a while to warm up to it, but now I wish I could go every day. In fact, I'm making plans to move closer to my gym BECAUSE I love it so much. I wonder if my trainer would let me move into the storage room...

T-shirts make me feel restricted. I don't like the way they bunch up around my middle. I don't like the way they make me feel suffocated on the top. And I don't like the way a lot of the women's tees arms are cut. But yeah, let's go with attention whoring.

New to the group and pretty new to hooping! I've been attending a local class for a few sessions - decided to put some skin in it and sign up for the full season AND buy my own hoop. I've been borrowing hoops from friends but it's time to get serious. Any suggestions for resources? I have NO rhythm and I feel like I'm too…

Mine is one of the many Katamari Damacy related artworks I've collected over the years...

I do not have a good relationship with my mother for very similar reasons. My mother would put me up in front of my sister and point out my flaws so my sister would feel better about herself. It's behavior I plan to never repeat with my own children. I can tell you that with distance and time, the hurt does fade but you…

I think that depends on the definition of 'normal'. Do SOME people fall off and then hop back on hard? Of course! What matters is what you want from your exercise and diet and for those 3 weeks, you made your choice and now you're making the choice to get back into it. No guilt. No shame. Just get back on that thing. =)

Banana bread, for me, is a meal. I can eat it by the loaf!

Can I ask what the negative research you found was?

This about sums it up for me. Pocket pastries perhaps, but not pie.

Blue cheese and corn fritters were DELICIOUS. I also tried the pretzel cheese curds which weren't bad. Sad I didn't get the chance to try the Snoribbons and a few others that were introduced this year.

There will always be someone who does something contrary to what's being advertised. So I wouldn't say it's a breeding ground, but it might act as a magnet?
