Anyone can send me a friend request if you want...

I did the first two weeks of it then went on vacation and couldn't get back in to it when I came back from vacation so I need to start over... I found it to be probably the most difficult workout I've ever done, which is why if you stick to it you will get amazing results, but it will definately kick your butt until you…

lmao@sammich after sex... I personally don't like when my girlfriend spends money on me for birthdays and christmas and those kind of things... so she sneaks stuff in at other times ("I found a really good deal on these pants, or this shirt"...) personally I'd be much more open to her getting a little creative and spicing…

depends on how much money you are looking to spend... I ended up buying myself a treadmill and a new weight machine that admittedly sat idle for the past few months that I've had them, but now that I made the decision to get in shape and lose weight I've been using them regularly and its a lot easier than paying for a gym…

usually within 1-2 soaked pieces of tissue it will stop bleeding =)

I've noticed my wetsuit getting a little tight... I have a 3mil that is a superstretch that I can still don without help but my 7mil isnt quite as stretchy, it was tight when I bought it so I couldn't zip it myself, but now its even worse trying to have other people zip it... hopefully by the end of the summer I'll be able…

Well you've come to the right place for inspiration to start a transformation. Add me as a friend and we can keep each other moving forward.

Feel free to add me anyone who wants more friends to help keep them on track. I was watching 20/20 tonight and it was all about how obese the united states is. I'm just one person but ill be the first to do my part to change my future.

No dive shops nearby? If they don't have one in stock they can order one...

I have regular nosebleeds from dry air.. mostly in the winter time... but I'm used to them just randomly coming from nowhere... I roll up a small piece of paper towel or toilet paper or tissue and stuff it up my nose and keep going about my business... that's a good look too :)

NICE!

who needs the ocean to dive? here in michigan we dive anyplace we can find water =) our dive shop weekly fun dives start next week, we dive every wednesday from mid may to late october and usually have a good 20-30 divers show up every week... its a blast even in the frigid michigan waters =) my girlfriend on the other…

I'm an avid scuba diver, been diving for about 4 years in the cold waters of Michigan... I've dove a couple times in St.Croix (USVI) and gulf of mexico (Florida) but most of my dives are in Michigan's frigid waters. I'm really looking forward to wednesday next week when my dive shop starts their weekly fun dives to get…

one of my ex's breastfed her son until he was almost 3... personally I think thats way too long - her son was very touchy feely with her at age 5 which just seemed bad to me... he was a little horn dog that grossed me out the way he acted around his mom and she didn't see it as a connection... another ex that thought it…

agreed, I put in I want to lose 2 lbs per week which MFP set me at something like a 900 calorie defecit so my goal is 1600 calories per day, so I should eat the calories I burn because MFP has already set the defecit and it gives credit for the calories burned, but I'm only eating what I need to not be hungry... in just a…

I'm already bikini ready... I'm always bikini ready... even in a foot of snow I'm ready for bikinis to come around at any time =)

you touch on an important fact that few people pay attention to and I usually don't think to bring up when talking to people... your body will eat up muscle tissue before it eats up fat tissues... so it ties in with the starvation method that if you aren't eating enough calories (and weight training to maintain/build…

it all really depends on your metabolism and your activity level... if you are eating 1800 calories a day and are managing to lose weight then you're probably doing fine... if the weight loss slows down try dropping your calories a little... it all depends on your body and what it needs... you can't starve yourself or your…

I've never tried weight watchers before... but I've used livestrong.com for a while and now MFP for the past few weeks and I've tracked food intake and exercise by some hand written note pages before, MFP seems the best for me so far, livestrong was pretty similar the only reason I came to MFP now instead of going back to…

lmao... I've always heard the phrase "a pound a poop" which I interpreted as on average you'd drop a pound every time you pooped but I've checked before and the scale doesn't seem sensitive enough to tell some times lol

I like me a hot sweaty mess of woman at the gym =) gives me more motivation myself to work harder so I can get in shape lol

I've seen some posts that people are ashamed of what they are eating because they arent "eating healthy", they are just controlling their portion size - which works as well! I don't think anyone should be ashamed of just controlling portion sizes... I still eat fatty foods I just limit how much of them I eat.

I personally don't drink milk... I always grew up with 2% but I've never really cared for milk... I still use it for cooking certain things though and with cereal, but since I'm not drinking it I've switched to 1/2% (half) which still tastes fine to me for the little bit that I use (in cereal or cooking)...

what the trainer is getting at is if you do cardio in the morning before you eat it helps "jump start" your metabolism from being inactive (sleeping). So you will burn more calories while eating breakfast if you jump start your metabolism first rather than just sitting down and eating breakfast. And the strength training…

I've started to donate whenever we do our blood drive at work... I don't particularly like needles but figured if I ever need blood I would hope someone else would donate so that's why I started... I'm also o neg so they come after me like vampires trying to get my blood... I have done double red the last two times.... the…

Omg thanks for the farms comment... I hate those darn games on fb I block them all but see more and more every day...

Good luck! I did the first couple weeks of it about a year ago then went on vacation and never got back in to it... eventually I would like to start over but have gone in a different direction to get on track instead. Would be interested in hearing your thoughts on it as you progress... I remember my thoughts lol

Feel free to add me as well, I have no friends on here, but I've found in the past that having other people to talk to will help keep everyone motivated. I lost about 30 lbs 2 years ago but over the past 2 years I put 40 on so just recently decided it was time to get back on track, and aside from a slight slip up this…

are you doing any strength training? strength training burns fat best by building lean muscle which will make the tape measure move faster... don't let misconceptions about women lifting weights stop you (most women I know don't lift because they don't want to get "buff", but most women will never build muscle like men do…

boneless HOT WINGS & chinese take-out mmmmmmmmmmm love em! I rewarded myself with buffalo wild wings last night since I've managed to get my food intake under control in just a week of tracking food again... but then I stepped on the scale this morning and was up 2 lbs over yesterday and kind of felt guilty for treating…
