I actually made chicken parm for the boyfriend last night :) Funny that yall are talking about it. It was surprising not that high in calories. Just use small boneless skinless breasts, whole wheat pasta and mozzarella. Otherwise anything with shrimp is going to be lower in calories meat wise. If you didn't need to go…

I had mine out almost ten years ago when I was 21. You will feel SO much better. I was in and out of the ER for a year before they would approve the surgery, it was horrible! Don't be scared you will be fine.

I track mine, especially since the old goal of 2500 is OUT and now the new recommendation for health is 1500 a day. I changed my goal on here. Are you still under? Sodium attributes to bloating and high blood pressure and thats why I track mine. I too was very surprised at first like yourself. I am on the prowl for lower…

Kind of a gross outcome for me, but I had this once too and it turned out to be a cyst around my tailbone.. specifically called a polynidal (sp?) cyst and it had to be surgically removed. Its come back a few times over the years but if removed right its not suppose to. It makes it really painful to sit since it wraps…

lobster I was sad too :/ I even asked the delhi last time and their low sodium meats were higher than what was in the aisle.

Theres sodium in everything, I just don't want to go over my limit and often do for simple things like a sandwich at home being loaded with it. I am also hoping to lower my blood pressure. Thank you all for the suggestions. I made need to make some chicken ahead of time and keep it for sandwiches to take to work!

Have you talked to him about helping you on your journey and doing so by making healthy choices with you? Just because he doesn't need to lose weight doesn't mean he can't make some healthy changes. I struggled with this before too, its not easy. I like the above persons suggestion though to use lighter products, great…

THIS. I'm a big girl too and when I'd go into the weight room, I think I was more self conscious thinking people were staring, rather than them actually staring. But ya us big girls can lift some weights!

lol my doc tells me to lower to 1200-1400... maybe hes wrong? This was a few years ago, but you made me giggle!

I had the lapband 3 years ago... I've posted before how I've actually gained weight since, not lost it. I've been at this for 3 weeks and it feels like my pants are a little looser... that being said I just got on the scale and I am back up to the most I've ever been :/ I wish I had health insurance, I'd go ask my doctor…

I agree that it was pretty rude. My advice, add the people who do seem encouraging and give you good answers. I'm pretty new and I have to walk away from a lot of the forum posts. A lot of the people are immature and rude. But then again I've added some great encouraging friends :)

I've gained up to ten lbs before during or right b4... I wouldn't worry about it. I would just check the weight again when your menstrals over.

alright for giggles I just tried that army calculator and it says I'm 20!!! points higher than when I was actually tested. Again just numbers don''t say anything!

If you only have 60 lbs to lose, I'm going to bet your BF is less than 53%... like the other girl said you might want to find out what it really is... and that will also affect your projected #'s.

BMI is not accurate. One of the gyms I was going to had another tester that sent out some sort of impulse (don't quote me on how it worked) but anyways my body fat % is actually 10 points less than what BMI tells me just by height and weight. So I don't think these calculations are right for everyone. Bigger people have…

alright so I tried one day to eat the recommended calories and well I didn't feel well and I felt too full. And I wasn't eating back my exercise calories either. And I was eating healthy food for the most part, not icky stuff. I don't want to feel like that everyday. I don't understand why I don't even eat that much…

thanks for the info, hopefully I will find it here :)

I know what you mean! Maybe you will meet a chubby man who wants to get healthier too and do it together!!

I am going to comment on the other side of the spectrum. Your height and weight sounds fine for you, but if you want do more have at it :) I am over weight and I was very concerned years ago for mom when she lost 150 lbs. She had a lot of health issues and an eating disorder that went from overeating to the over extreme.…

Thanks for the encouragement Lisa! I know it can happen, and I know 95% may not be for all people, just its been mine. I think like in regular dating, if your overweight it makes it harder. Which I am sure contributed to my unhappy experiences even though I am very upfront and honest about being a chunky monkey! And yes, I…

My last post had nothing to do with you so its funny that you just made it about you LOL

I keep coming back and reading these postings, its comical. I am still on a dating website even though I have had the worst luck, I guess part of me is keeping hope. But just to give ya'll an example. I got a message 2 days ago and decided to just talk to this guy to give him a chance. Mind you my profile is very clear…

Hi my friend :) I don't know of specific short ones, but I have found amazon to be great and cheap for used ones, esp if you still have a VHS player. I bought chers and it has 3 segments, the ab one wears mine out and its only like ten min. I am sure lots of people will suggest stuff for u! Love ya! :)

I will have to see if we have that thank you!!! Thats like a quarter of what I've been finding so that would be great!

Yes lets post those pics instead of using our words... " an angle pic as these men call it is when a woman takes a picture of herself with a more flattering angle so she looks more attractive than she otherwise would in person"

Or ask why they were laughing, that might shut them up.

Maybe its the fact that you're the kind of guy who post those pictures of a girl on the internet... but that's only a guess.

No *kitten* LOL so true!

Pretty much lol

Def red wine! Being in Oregon, I am spoiled with the amazing wine in this region. Although sometimes a fantastic dark beer is totally worth the extra walk around the block, or 2... or 3. I agree with the above postings that say have what you want in moderation, better than having something kinda icky and leaving you…
