Bump! What an awesome idea!!

LOL, I'm feeling much better about my Peanut Butter and Bacon sandwiches.......LOL

I havent heard about that, but if you are looking for something other than benedryl try pseudofed. You have to ask the pharmacist for it, but I use it for my allergies and it works better and doesnt make me sleepy.. ETA: Also, if you are looking for something to help you sleep, I use melatonin.

I've always thought that the best revenge is to live well. That is a win/win in my book! Dont forget to set some goals that are outside thumbing your nose at the jerky ex though.

Actually I would go ahead and start weight training now! You would be amazed how much your body will change with just some simple body resistance exercises. Also, when you work out you should push yourself. I dont know what kind of workout you are doing, but it should be hard enough that break a good sweat. Our bodies get…

I use Almond Milk in a protein shake, peanut butter (any nut butter), cottage cheese, Almonds, Avocado............

Lots of work out dvd's to learn from! You dont have to go to a gym.....I hate the gym! Ask what dvd's people use and what they like to get some ideas. I do Zumba and an Insanity workout......

I dont think there is an issue at all. I would hate to deal with the men personally, but I bet you would learn some good people skills, LOL! As long as you dont plan on running for public office or marrying someone who is....then if you want to go for it, go ahead. Just be safe, there are a lot of creeps out…

What an awesome thought! I will have to discuss this with him..........I bet he will say it's not in our budget............. Seriously though, I do not have an issue between consenting adults doing what is fine for them, I do have concerns about the young girls and what this says to them. If they are nothing but brood…

I would just budget it.......I love ice cream and that is my dessert most nights..........I just have to be reasonable and not eat more than my allotted serving........ Edited for spelling: desert-dessert......always messes me up!

I'm very overweight and do not get light headed at all..........I'm only 4'11" but I eat between 1500 (non work out days) to 2000 (heavy workout days) calories........I actually average about 1800 cal a day. I'm one that is not a big believer anymore in the super low cal diets. I eat in a way I can maintain for the rest of…

NICE!!! I am also a little person.....4'11" as well! Nice to see such awesome results from another vertically challenged gal!

This seems more like it.......I'm only 4'11" and my BMR is 1507........I set mine at 1522 and eat back my exercise calories, well most of them anyway. I eat something like 1800-2000 calories a day on average. I have been loosing, but slowly, but it's picking up now that I upped my calories.

I know that by eliminating certain bad foods or at least limiting them and adding walking is an excellent way to start. I would advise you to track your calories and exercise anyway even though you wont be "dieting" per se. That way you can look back at it in a month and really evaluate the changes you have made. I think…

You can start by going to this website and putting in your current stats and goals. If you need help let me know. http://www.fat2fitradio.com/tools/bmr/ Sometimes we under eat and stagnate our weight loss, sometimes we dont record our meals properly, sometimes it just takes a little time. If you do not have any health…

They have the lower cal chicken brats.........those are pretty good........make a Turkey Reuban..........

I guess I just dont understand why someone else's diary really matters to you personally. I keep mine closed because honestly I dont need unsolicited advice. If I need help on my diet, I will open it and ask for input realizing I will get every comment under the sun. But more realistically I will ask a nutritionist or…

Crock Pot pulled pork! Yummers!

You can do anything you set your mind to! And the awful comment? what a wretched person!!! Head up, chest out, walk tall and take it one day at a time. Do this the smart way and you will get to your goal! P.S. You are beautiful.

My scale number is huge too......... hang in there............

This is really common with my Insanity group.......have you been checking your measurements? I am 8 weeks in but only have lost 4 lbs.......but I lost 21 inches .... I have a lot to loose.....so it is really frustrating.......BUT I just have to chill and realize this is a process. I use a HR monitor and use the custom add…

Up Where We Belong.....Joe Cocker

Stick to what your scale says...........I have been doing this for 2 months now......I have only lost 4lbs according to the scale.......however I have lost 21 inches overall and dropped 1 size. Personally I would put away the scale if you are having such a negative reaction to it and stick to body measurements. I would…

Watch out for Botulism....just sayin'

I have the opposite problem.......The scale says I have only lost 3lbs..........but I have gone down one pant size......I'm hoping the scale catches up with me........I started working out so I figure things will start coming along soon...........

Real all the way, I use center cut or back bacon usually......

Wear your seat belts......... ETS: spelling......LOL

I'm sure this is not the first time sis stole the spotlight, and to be honest it probably wont be the last. However, she cannot steal your success! I don't have any advice, I have 3 sisters and over the course of the last 47 years of my life I have had issues with them. Just as I'm sure they have had issues with me........…

I would log this in relation to your TOM. Some women get hungry just before starting, some mid month, some during. Are bodies tell us different things...... But honestly, look back on a calendar and see if there is any correlation to your cycle?

You say you love to exercise........that is awesome, but the activities that you love will increase muscle mass in some areas. honestly before I let myself get so darn out of shape, I HATED my legs, I thought they were too big and too muscle-y too. The thing is, the legs I admired belonged to dancers and long distance…
