There is no point in which his anger would be justified. In my opinion he doesn't have a right to be angry if she doesn't want to have sex. If she isn't into sex, then she isn't into sex. People change. If he is unhappy with the relationship and actual efforts (therapy, seeing what she wants sexually, etc) have not worked,…

Sure....it is clearly chronicled that the wife is rejecting her husband "over and over again" for 6 WEEKS. In a marriage, that will hopefully last many, many years, a 6 week period is practically nothing. At some point, the husband may not be as interested for a 6 week time period. Would the wife then have reason to cheat,…

Me please! Can I be in Team Daleks?

Yeah....this thread disturbs me a little....actually, a lot. Not getting sex does not give anyone the right to degrade their partner for not wanting sex. My husband and I have been married for 8 years. During those 8 years there have been months where I didn't want to be intimate very often, as there were also months where…

Good luck Tracy! I was diagnosed with IIH about 2 months ago and it has been pretty rough. The headaches, dizziness, visual loss, and all of the mental symptoms (memory loss, confusion) really make exercising (and existing) difficult. I have lost 13 lbs since my diagnosis, though. The thing I keep telling myself is that it…

I would rather have a living child who I put a "leash" on than a dead one I didn't. I have never had to use a harness with my children, but if I thought there was even the slightest chance we could get separated or one of them might run off and get hurt, then I would. At the end of the day, who really cares what another…

So, considering that, maybe the British view of "American" food may not be all that accurate either. What the average person actually eats in his/her home here in the US is not as disgusting or pathetic as some people seem to believe.

Celery....never again.

Bump....been needing recipes for a while!

The King of Scotland. The image of that body on the table with its arms and legs cut off stayed with me for a long time. THIS! I still sometimes get sick over this image......I truly hated the way this movie made me feel.

My current favorite breakfast is two hardboiled eggs, half an avocado, and a slice of whole wheat toast....mmmmm.

How sad is it that there are still people (including women!) who feel the need to determine a woman's quality based on her breasts. Whether they are big, small, real, or fake....it doesn't matter. That should not affect a woman's worth or take away from her success and hard-work. She looks amazing and clearly has…

Cook a huge pot of soup and then freeze portions so you have a quick and easy lunch. I eat my soup with cornbread :). Recently I made a vegetarian pesto minestrone soup and it was amazing and only 210 calories per 1.7 cups! I am not vegetarian anymore, but I love many vegetarian recipes that I got addicted to when I was.

I would like to join. I need some motivation!

Try cutting the 4 down to 2 a week. Definitely try the reduced fat milk and sugar free syrup...if you like it then it is a win for you. If you don't, then get the regular style and make it fit into your daily calorie goal. You shouldn't have to justify eating or drinking anything....if it matters to you then you will make…

5mph is where jogging starts for me....although 4 is at that awkward in-between stage so I avoid it. I do my fast walk at 3.8 and my jog at 5 and my run at 7.

I'm in at 200.2 lbs.

Well....I HOPED my husband was the one from the time we decided to get engaged (after 8 months of dating). I KNOW he is the one, now after 6 years of marriage. Our love has grown, we have two children, and now I truly can't imagine a life without him. I think it is hard to actually know until you are in the midst of it…

Saving this for later!

Actually......there is an actual bone in the penis of many mammals (humans not included). It is called the baculum. :)

Just personal experience...everyone is different, but I manually raised my 1200 calorie limit to 1500....and usually eat around 1700 a day by eating back exercise calories. Not only am I still losing at the same rate, but I feel much happier and more energetic. This gives me the ability to work-out the way I want to and…

Not rude. Period. You were not going out of your way to insult someone, or be mean. You were there for your daughter. I think people need to start taking control of their own feelings and emotions and realize that not everyone is going to do exactly what they want them to...and that doesn't make them rude. Do what you want…

Sounds great to me! I'm in.

Thanks for all of the advice! At least I know it is somewhat normal and preventable now. The next time I try I will hydrate, eat a better breakfast, and focus more on breathing at the proper times.

I think I may try both of those suggestions. I will remove a little weight and try focusing even more on my breathing. Thanks for the advice.

I have lost 30 lbs now....and people also seem shocked when I say that. Not in a "wow! great job" kind of way, but in the same disbelieving way you mentioned. I have another 70 lbs or so to go, and I keep telling myself that I know FOR SURE that when I lose that people WILL notice....haha. Don't give up! When you reach…

30 minute CXWORX class (my first...ouch) 15 minutes of walking 4mph....just to relax those muscles after my class!

Oh my goodness...what a mess. I have to say that I understand what the OP was saying. I think she was merely making a statement that there are exercises out there that are more beneficial to certain parts of the bodies over other parts of the bodies. If you have a trouble area, which many of us do, there are exercises that…

I am also concerned about this issue. My children really did a number on my stomach in terms of stretch marks. In my opinion I think it would be easier for someone who does not have a lot of stretch marks on their abdomen to be able to tighten up their stomach using exercises even with a significant weight loss. However,…

I used to make secret runs to fast food restaurants in the middle of the night so my husband wouldn't know! I am happy to say that I have completely stopped my late night eating. What has helped me is to prepare for a bedtime snack. For example, I always leave around 300 calories for a piece of whole wheat toast, a tbsp of…
