I'm not here to really loose any weight. Sure, my weight fluctuates up and down here and there by a couple of pounds. But, i'm here just to stay more active and eat healthier. I log what i eat so i can get a better idea of what i'm putting into my system. :D

I'm sorry that your mom said that to you. That's not the best thing for anybody to ever say to anybody, especially their own flesh and blood. However, i'd just like to say that she's wrong. IF you have the will and the desire to get smaller/fitter/healthier then you can achieve it. There's no special age when, especially a…

Currently i'm a SAHM.....I go to school 4 days a week and i take 4 classes (12 units). My eldest is 6 1/2 and he's in first grade, but he's in an afternoon and morning enrichment program that helps him with his homework (he's in a Chinese program, so it's a bit hard some assignments) and then in the afternoon when class is…

I'm in between Stage II and II CHF. I also have VSD, CoA and Right Ventricular Cardiomegaly. The VSD and the CoA were preformed over 4 different surgeries between the end of '85 and '87. Currently, i am dealing with extree over-tiredness from the CHF. But, days i gave the energy to exercise it does help. I'm on…

That's great! I was so addicted to soda/Caffeine and candy for the longest time. I've been on here for just over 6 months and this is day 11 of my NO Soda/Caffeine/Candy change. I feel so much better, of course i still crave it occasionally, but i've been having carbonated water or some carbonated juice, just so i get the…

Seriously. I don't understand how you can complain about getting $350 help from the government. $350 for 2 people is actually a decent amount of food stamps. We have 4 people in our family and we get ~$440 and we make that work. There are loads of ways of making it work. In my post i mentioned numerous places you can do to…

I'm not ashamed; we're on it right now. But, my husband just got a new and better job so we'll be off it soon. Anyways, i don't count on our food stamp budget so we get it for 3 instead of 4. So, we get around ~115 a week for food. For Veggies you can always try Farmers Markets and things like that, we have some in our…

I do not believe that being Fat is or should be a Disability. A lot of the people that are "fat" have done and made horrible choices to get that way and they can get better and to a more 'healthy' size. It takes a lot to be able to get onto Disability and it really makes me wonder how these people actually got on…

i don't agree with this Author at all. In Fact, i just saw my Cardiologist not too long ago and for the longest time he has been trying to get me to be more active and exercise more. I've very pig headed, but with the help of my Best Friend, i've become more active and i exercise daily (as much as i can at least). It has…

You are the best mom EVER!!! Seriously, my aunts are just like your mom and what happened when the kids grew up?.....they rebelled like crazy. all along, i was supposed to be the 'evil' child. pffft. As for the OP,Let your kids have some fun! If you don't have the will power to stay our of their candy, then you have a hell…

Wow! You look amazing!! That is such a great success story, and the pictures just make it appear like you're a completely different person. Kudos!

I know this is gonna sound so weird. But, my first love was when i was 11 1/2. He had just turned 11 a couple of weeks before we met. I was going into 7th grade, he was going into 6th and we went to different schools. We only saw eachother on friday nights. When i was in 8th grade we were in the same school and we dated…

I'm 5' 3/4".....technically my goal weight was at about 100....but i've realized that i'm just gonna stay where i'm at (i'm teetering between 104/105)....i started and i only weighed right under 110. I know that people think that 105 is INSANE and all for somebody that's almost 5'1".. But, due to my health i can't go ABOVE…

I breastfed both of my kids. My first for 7months, and then i had to stop; lots of issues and other things. Then my second i breastfed until she was 19 months old and i had to stop because i was having way too many surgeries and i just couldn't physically take the demand any more. It was too hard to hold her any longer. I…

It's only been 4 months, so give it a tad time. As for myself, in Jan it will be 4 years since i had my youngest and i still have a tad of a 'baby pouch'. It's not dreadfully noticeable, hell i don't even notice it much unless i'm sitting. But, what i've learned is ab workouts and keep you calories-in vs calories-out in…

Hello, i'm 5' 3/4".....I'm 27 (in like 2 1/2 wks!) and i have 2 kids (6yrs 4mons and 3 yrs 9mons). SW was 107 lbs (48.5 kg) CW ~104 lbs (47.17 kg- fluctuates throughout the day slightly).... I've been at this for the past 5 months......started May 1st or so. i don't really know what my goal weight should be...i'm not going…

Height: Smidge under 5'1" Heaviest: 135 lbs (The day i had my daughter (2nd kid)) Lightest as an adult: 96 lbs (right after i had my son (1st kid)......i had HG with his pregnancy so couldn't keep weight on) Current: 104 Goal:......doesn't really matter....i just want to tone my mid section.

Wow! You look Great! That is such an accomplishment! I know how it is dealing with 'trouble areas' during weight loss ect, especially post-pregnancy! Keep it Up!

I love the smell of the asphalt after a rain actually, anything after a storm.. Exhaust from OLD cars My Husband Food. REAL Books.

Great Job on working towards a healthy weight for yourself! It's always amazing to get those NSV's!

I ALWAYS get the Flu Shot/s. But, that's only because i've got multiple health issues and i can't risk getting the flu, because for me, the flu never stays as the flu it always progresses into Pneumonia (or Double, or Tripple Pneumonia). But, i know that there are some people that aren't really FOR it. I say, it's really…

^^^This! i'm sure your BF didn't realize what he was really saying. He most likely was thinking that womens clothes are sized the same as mens. Plus, try to ignore the tag. I have pants in my closet that covers about 5 different sizes, simply because of the style/cut/brand. I think that your BF was just trying to be…

That's a ridiculous thing for a Doctor to say to somebody. If this had happened to me, i'd find a new doctor asap. Because somebody that can straight faced tell you that doesn't truly value you or your opinion on your health. I honestly feel that you have to feel as if your doctor is a close friend to you, and if that just…

I've been mistaken for so many things! My Favorite is when i get mistaken for Jordanian, Arab (middle eastern) or East Indian. I've had so many people approach me and speak to me in Punjabi or Farsi, i don't know those languages seeing how i'm Mexican/European/Native American mix. But, i can see why some people would think…

I was 17 (gonna be 27 soon) and i had to pay for it. It was one of those uber cheap cell phones from Verizon. it didn't do Anything but text and call. The screen was all pixelated and blue/grey! When i was 12/13 and through HS/JrHigh if i had to stay after for Choir or anything like that my mom made me do the whole…

I've been doing it for years. I must admit, though that when i first started i was mainly doing it for the fat and the sodium contents. 1) being that i have CHF/CHD, and the added sodium completely screws with my body. (2) The more salt/sodium in your foods the more you want to drink then the more you want to eat (at least…

I would if i could. But, because of my health problems i'm not allowed to donate any blood. i guess it makes sense, i need all the blood that i have for myself as it is. I'm O+, which is a universal donor too. Too bad i can't :(

That is Amazing!! I have 2 kids, the youngest is 3 1/2. And i'm trying to work on toning my abs. I saw that somebody said we can look for the videos for that workout online? Is it a difficult workout, like very strenuous?

are you serious? your system is going to attack itself soon if you don't give it the proper nutrients! I really do hope that you are a troll because nobody can survive on a 'diet' like that....
