My oldest item that i can date is a fancy dress from 1991. And it finally fits again!

Good job, keep it up! I adore my personal trainer, couldn't make this journey without him.

You could be me. :D I lost my thyroid to cancer a few years back. While i have managed to lose weight while being kept hyperthyroid on meds, it's been a struggle, and it seems the more hyper i get, the harder it is to lose. My endo just cut back my synthroid dosage, and i am so hoping that helps in my weight loss quest.…

I have no thyroid, lost it to cancer. I take a synthetic replacement, both T3 and T4. If this article were true, all i'd have to do is kick up my cytomel dosage, and i'd drop weight. Doesn't happen like that...

quarterly DEXA scans

What would i absolutely HAVE to have? Probably nothing. What would i want? Dumbbells from 5-50 lbs. Plates @ 5, 10, 25 and 45lbs, for a total of about 600lbs. A squat cage. A captain's chair with chin-up/pull-up grips and dip bars (got this on order). A full range of cable pulls. A heavy duty incline/decline bench. A…

I'll play!

Are you measuring or checking your bodyfat, or just measuring on the scale? Like you, i've had no appreciable change in scale weight in 6 months - however, i've gone from 28% bf to 23%, and dropped a jeans size.

Weight as of this morning - 163

My highest weight ever was about 224. I started here around 209. I am currently bouncing between 155 and 160. I've really cleaned up my diet, didn't eat bread for over a year, no sodas for almost 2 years now, boosted my protein and drink 1-1.5 gallons of water per day. However, i have also gone from being mostly sedentary…

Supplement with biotin, and make sure you are getting plenty of protein in your diet. It did wonders for my hair. :D Also, how's your thyroid? It can cause hair issues.

Hmmm... about a year, i guess? Probably more like 16 months, but we had a rocky start. Been married 18 years now. :D

Boobs! Planning a lift/augmentation in december.

The writing is poor. The setting is juvenile and pure fantasy. There is a little talk about BDSM, and a whole lot of just barely more than vanilla sex. It's great fantasy material, but not a serious read by any means. The Sleeping Beauty series was much better written.

For about $100, you can have a DEXA scan. Most accurate body composition testing there is, ranked just as high as water displacement.

One of the girls where i train does that - she trains in the gym, but she also goes and does "in calls" and trains people at their house, or in a park, and she even has a studio set up in her apartment where folks can do private one-on-one sessions. I guess it depends on the type of training you are doing. You can do a lot…

Can't help those that won't help themselves. I bought a friend several sessions with my personal trainer, who rocks. She'd go to the sessions, then eat 1200 calories at lunch. Admitted she knew she was blowing away any benefit. She'll change when she is ready. That time is different for each of us.

Well, nobody follows you around with a scale to see what you weigh. But when you are toned and tightened, everyone can tell. I am wearing the same size now as i wore 25 years ago, but i'm 30 pounds heavier.
-
Intelligence with a sly sense of humor. I love sexy legs, but recently i've become a fan of big, beautiful arms.
-
There are some pretty graphic sex scenes, and some talk about BDSM though not really much of that takes place. It's pretty poorly written, the writer's imagination seems to only extend as far as having a 26 year old billionaire sadist fall in love with a 21 year old virgin that looks like his deceased crack-wh0r3 mother.…

I love strength training. Leg days are my favorite. I have a love/hate relationship with most of the leg exercises. Love that they make me feel strong, hate that they kick my butt.

Mine is, absolutely. I pay him more than i pay on my mortgage every month. LOL I pay $55 an hour and see him 8 hours a week.
-
I've gained 4 pounds in the last month, and gone down a size in pants, so ya, i feel slimmer. :D
-
Um... trust me, being 20 has little to do with it. I'm 43, and hate my boobs. And yes, i will be having surgery to make them more attractive, probably around december. Too hot to deal with it during the summer. :D Do bear in mind that if you decide to have kids down the road, breastfeeding may be more difficult with…

I'd like to play...

Weight is such a tricky thing. We get hung up on it. I weighed 116 lbs when i was 17. Since then, i've had 7 pregnancies, gotten sedentary, worked 60 hours weeks at a desk job... blah, blah, blah. I'm 43. Currently i weigh 157 pounds. But when i was 17, i wore a size 4, and now i'm in a size 6. I think if i weighed 116, or…

I've had 7 kids. Had a lower body lift, which includes tummy tuck, 3.5 months ago. Best thing ever. :D
-
Reducing overall body fat will eventually reduce the belly. If you have excess skin and separation of the abdominal muscles, the only thing that can fix it is surgery, unfortunately.

I've been known to go through my pantry and throw out all the crap that i bought in a moment of weakness. If it's not in the house, i can't eat it. My biggest problem is that the grocery is on the way home from the gym. Very convenient to do my shopping after my workout - but after 2-3 hours of hard sweat, EVERYTHING looks…
