......So did he want your *kitten* to be bigger or smaller? If he wants something to grab onto then it sounds like bigger, but perhaps "tone" means rounder. It's sounds like he was trying to flirtatiously tease you and it didn't sound as good out loud as it did in his head. :laugh: I constantly hear that I'm allowed to…

@Clover :frown: I hope he perks up more or at least shares what the problem is. I sometimes just have down days when it's best that I'm left to my hermit ways because it's more likely that I'll upset someone else than they'll cheer me up. However, after this long I suspect you'd know if that was what he was going through,…

Scheduling-wise, I prefer to go alone. I want to go when it's convenient for me without having to juggle someone else's schedule along with my own. However, I have tried to make some workout buddies at the gym so that we would all have people to look forward to seeing at the gym as a motivation to keep coming back. It…

Definitely true and something to think about BEFORE getting pregnant. I see the stuff my parents have had to go through with one of my brothers who was living at home through his twenties, couldn't keep a job, didn't care about getting an education, and I know I do not have the mental energy for it.... or want to deal with…

Very bluntly. My family doesn't even bother suggesting it since I've been saying No Kids since I decided in first grade that I didn't want to be a teacher anymore (when I discovered at the tender age of 7 that kids are brats). When someone asks if my husband and I have any or plan to, I'll say "No, and we don't plan on it.…

Does that apply to all British men or just to English ones? I wonder if I'm married to the only Scottish man who dresses like an American. :laugh: Or maybe it's because he's from Glasgow... Now granted, when he wants to be all snazzy, he knows how to dress up, but jeans or shorts, slogan shirts, baseball caps and sneakers…

That's both an awesome experience and a very encouraging story, Muff. If you've felt like the one falling behind fitness-wise, it's got to be a good feeling to be out in front (metaphorically) once in a while.

Last week wasn't so great for me, but at least I didn't backslide. This week I'm focusing on getting my calorie intake down and next week will be adding back in my exercise regime after I figure out how to work around my new physical therapy appointments. I should ask them if I'm allowed to use the pool after my…

Welcome, icandoit! I love the name, too. :happy: Muff, that's some crazy heat! Kudos for still getting outside and staying active! Aaah Clover, it's great that you can add in some swimming. I would love to have easy access to a pool and do some swimming. Well, floating. :laugh: Barbie that pic of your poodle is just too…

Thanks for the support. :) Last night's therapy session turned out to be a No Go. I went to the appointment but hadn't been informed that they expected me to do some kind of warm up and more physical stuff. I'd had an upsetting time in and out of the hospital for a procedure that day and was dizzy with cold-sweats, so I…

Hi everyone, I've been incommunicado for a week. Sorry about not being around. It wasn't a great week, full of ankle pain and frustration and stupid immigration services being stubborn (my hubby is a permanent resident and I could go on for an hour about how they've made things more difficult than they should have to be…

I managed to get back to the gym yesterday and do my weights again. That's two times in one week! Goal is to do weight training 3 times a week, but next week will be a bit busy so we'll see what happens. @clover Oh, I forgot to say "Grats" on passing your halfway mark!! Aaah, puppy pic! I'm a sucker for doggie pics right…

It's just me! I realized that I still feel really self-conscious with full body shots, enough that I wanted to change my profile pic, so I switched over to a face shot. I spent a lot of time playing with the different camera effects apps on my phone last night, and that's the one I came up with. It's supposed to be like a…

Years ago my dad promised my mother and me that if we reached our healthy weights he would pay for us to go to Puerto Rico to visit our family there. A few years back he said the offer was still good. I was never motivated to lose the weight because someone else wanted me to and only decided to make a change when I decided…
-
@Barbie *nod* I've heard the same with higher weight and less reps. And I would love to build some muscle as I'm a complete weakling. Of course, when I mentioned this tactic to my husband during one of our walks, he then had to weigh in with his thoughts on the most effective weight training workout during which I…

Good morning, everyone.

In general (not specifically clothing), I buy from Amazon.com the most. I tend to get burned with poorly fitting clothing if I buy it online, but if I go for it I usually use... Shoes, accessories: Amazon.com T-shirts: shirt.woot.com or jinx.com or thinkgeek.com Work & every day clothing: Torrid.com Splurge on snazzy…

Last night was weight machines at the gym and then a walk with the hubby when I got home. Took advantage of the gym and did my 100 as leg presses again. Upped the weight so now I'm at 130 lbs on them. I know it's not impressive to someone who's been doing them for a while, but I was pleased. It's the only weight machine I…

Since you said you can take constructive criticism, I second the above sentiment. The top looks kick *kitten* on you, the boy shorts are both cute and sporty which make you look ready for watery action, but the patterned bottoms look a bit squished from behind. They look great from the front, so I think maybe the cut just…

What a cool article. I'd never seen it before. Thanks for the link! It does leave me wondering if she ate lunch regularly. :laugh:

I wanted to report back... I've made these now twice for my vegetarian husband and just substituted 1 bag of Morningstar Farms Crumbles for the meat. Cook and season the crumbles, of course. It's technically twice the amount as the called for meat, but it's also half the calories for that same amount, so doubling it puts…

Oh I like it. It's a mini-circuit for the leg. And there's no way anyone's going to see me doing the silly walk anytime soon! :laugh: I even wait till the hubby's upstairs before I'll do them. :blushing:
