Wow girl, don't give your man a heart attack! I bet you have butterflies in your stomach. I know I would!

My husband noticed how depressed I was and when an opportunity for a gym trainer came about, he basically voluntold me that I was going to do it. I was furious! Initially I took it as 'he hates the way I look' but then I realized that I hate the way I look and that this opportunity would mean a better me. Now I have signed…

Erm. Difficult to say. My husband basically asked me to marry him 8 months into our relationship, so I'd guess that would be when we got engaged. But there was no ring or proposal. And we didn't marry for 3 and a half years into our relationship.

GO TWINS! Our guys will get it eventually. (I love me some Ben Revere. Mm.)

YES. I originally learned to call it 'Bags' or 'Mr. Bags' after the brand and I've played at a family members house my first trip to the States and loved it! Since then I bought the Wii version and I've played the arcade bags, but it's not the same. I'm actually going for a road trip to buy a custom set of regulation…

I started it, but I jog with my kids in/on a stroller and if my daughter even catches sight of me, she screams and screams until I take her out of the stroller! I'm hoping it's just a phase so that I can re-start the runs; I was really enjoying it!

I want the StarGate, thank you~

Duluth zoo is lovely! I wish they'd sign-post it better, as we've been there twice now and gotten lost around the side streets twice. Derp. I really did like the variety of animals as compared to the Minnesota Zoo or Como Zoo. And the bridge/waterfall area is really pretty for just taking a walk. Sadly, some of the…

I'm also within the school of 'everything in moderation'. Sure, I could be healthier. But damn it if I don't want some of the foods I've come to know and love and if I can fit them within my daily calories, I will continue to eat them.

I have no plans to stop any time soon. If that means forever, so be it!

I just bought a book today called Already Pretty. http://www.alreadypretty.com/ I'm hoping it will help me learn how to dress myself!

I chose the middle of the range for healthy on the BMI scale. Looking at my body, I can probably afford to aim lower once I meet that target, so if I get there and I think I could lose more/feel better at a lower weight, I'm gonna do it. =)

Daily cleaning, I don't log. But if I were to be moving furniture or mopping the floors or going up and downstairs to do countless loads of laundry in one day, rather than a load every other day, then I'd probably log it. It depends on what is 'normal' for you.

CW: 137. GW: 120?

I've been teaching my 6 month old to use her sippy cup. She still insists it's for chewing, but I am proud that I am at least not giving up on it! She will get the hang of it soon! And then I'll be proud when she does. =)

Anything goes for me. ;) If it fits in my calories, I'll eat it. But I do try to not keep certain things around because I know I'll eat nothing but those things every day... SO. Bread, especially cheese bread. Chips, especially Dill Pickle chips.

I want to be a mofo. :<

Show her it WORKS. If you can lead by example and show her how logging your calories every day has helped you to lose weight and live a healthier lifestyle, she might be more inclined to try it.

I have a male cat called Monty and a female cat called Iris. =)

Great work! I love that lacy dress you have, where did you get it? <3

I'm so sorry for your loss, I can't even imagine... Getting into a healthy lifestyle will definitely benefit you in the long run. Feel free to add me for motivation and good luck! Edit: kendradl, wow, eerie. We posted almost the same thing! XD

Married a gamer. We met on the forums for a webcomic, 8-bit Theater. In fact, I've only ever dated gamers and guitarists. Hm.

I'm also still looking forward to a meet! I do worry though that we'll all be looking at each-others food choices and then scanning each-others diaries once we're done. >.>

I had to post on Minnesota Zoo's Facebook wall today in hopes they were offering assistance to Duluth Zoo with the displacement of their animals; they responded with a comment addressing it saying they were offering help. Sad to know some of the animals died in the flooding. :<

I believe it's illegal in some states?

I have such an odd mix of music that I like listening to depending on how I'm feeling. Flobots is my usual Pandora playlist, though.

It might be a good opportunity to make a friend by asking. ;)

I've lost 25lbs since being on Mirena. Counting my calories and exercising helped with that. 2lbs loss per week, roughly. So I don't think Mirena contributed to anything.

I haven't actually seen much of my mother in law since I started my journey into bettering myself. I think it was a week or two into it that we went to her house and although I kept saying 'no thank you' to her every offer of food, she still found a way to bring out plates of food and put them RIGHT in front of me 'just in…

Food is fuel and therefore should not be enjoyed. Humor fuels the brain...we probably shouldn't enjoy that either.
