I shift some of the burden over to my husband. He'll look after the kids while I hit the gym 3 times a week. And then the rest we either do as a family (like jogging) or I will do when my daughter takes her daily naps.

Never call them paranoid. 'Cause that usually means you're up to something and she has a gut feeling about it.

Nope. Not seeing it. That hair needs some more messing. =P

My husband's colleague asked if I wanted to join her trainer's program as she needed two people on her team. He basically voltunTOLD me that I was going to do it. That's the first time my husband has roped me into something that I am THANKFUL for his intervention. =B Now I'm doing it for the renewed courage in my…

I don't, but I'm going to be adding more exercise to my normally sedentary routine, so I'm looking to try eating back my exercise calories these next few weeks. I'm prepared for my body to gain a few pounds as it works itself out.

I think the debate over what the term 'skinny fat' actually refers to shows that it's little more than a buzz word that's thrown around at whim. =B

Froggy is floored in the first pic. =B Good example for folks what lifting can do for you!

That this isn't a race. You're accountable to you and only you. If you feel like walking one day, walk. If you feel like running the next, run. The end goal can still be the same without going full sprint the whole time. Let yourself slow down sometimes.

I think we're always seeking new ways to make people feel inadequate. What amuses me is when people want to be categorized or defined. Why do we let the words and terminology affect us so much?

Okay then. More milk for me! \o/

I'm 5'3" and I currently weigh 131lbs. I've set my goal to 120lbs because I have a LOT of excess fat around my midriff that needs to go bye-bye. My bodyfat is what I'm trying to focus on, which is currently 27%. Ew.

I think my trainer would have something to say if I turned up at gym wearing my underwear. Oh, how times have changed. XD

Oh snap, no fighting you two. ;) I'm trying to consider if water-weight would have been an issue. I've not been drinking any more than usual but I am a breastfeeding mother; could my milk supply have made a difference?

Just one of the hand held machines and yep, same individual each time. She was just as perplexed as I was considering I've lost over an inch off of my waist since my last measurements, not to mention everywhere else.

What I don't understand is you said she works out 4-5 times a week in various ways. What more are you expecting her to do?

I was never really 'fit' to begin with, but my husband and I BOTH gained weight once we were married and living together. And the rest of my weight came from long bed rest with a very sick child in my womb. Now I'm the one who's lost a large amount of weight and my husband is the one staying the same. For us, it's about…

Eggs. Every time I make scrambled eggs with vegetables and salsa, I'm usually full until dinner. XD

Gemini. Sounds about right.

I was going to suggest PinUpGirl too! I LOVE their dresses!

Terrible. Just terrible. Kidding of course. =) Way to be an inspiration!

Cupcakes. That is all.

Nicola. NicolA. Not Nicole. *Headdesks*

Don't compare yourself to other people. So what that they've lost more than you in the same time as you. They are them and YOU are YOU. This isn't a race and you shouldn't put down your own achievements. Hang in there!

I've been on flights from the UK to the US where I've spent 8 hours on an empty stomach because the very SMELL of that food makes me feel sick. XD Good luck!

I try to comment on a LOT of my friends progress. I have over 200 friends now, but I am active every day and I will do whatever I can to support those people, even if they don't support me in kind. If I'm deleted, I'll deal with it eventually. I'd love to get to know some of my friends better, but that will just come with…

I AM ALL THAT IS MAN! I tried this once a few years back. You'll be hungry. You'll be fatigued. You'll be emotional and whatever weight you lose is likely to come back as soon as you stop it. WHY do you need to do this?

I'd assume that if my husband grabbed my pen by accident, it wouldn't react to his hands, right? Because this pen is specifically for women, so it must KNOW if a man is using it. And if it doesn't, then I want my money back.

I remember a news article where people were asked how they would describe the man in the picture. Most said 'African American'. He was a British man of Jamaican descent.

That's an awesome mission to have! I think I was a little overwhelmed by all of the choice this year, which wasn't a problem in previous years. I can see why people want to go more than once, though, especially if you're a foodie!

I'll take a hash brown occasionally, but I'm not too interested in the rest. XD
