it took a long time for me to love who i am. to stop listening to the outside chatter and embrace my height. my size. i think working on eating right working out, helped a lot. being an amazon is not a bad thing. xena, wonder woman, those are my idols. stop listening to those around you and embrace who you are! you are…

very nice! i say its a keeper! but what do I know? i prefer the hubs with a beard. but he didnt have one when we started dating. its all personal preference! but mmhm!

im so sorry also. three wks is not normal. and yes you need to see your doctor. I feel your pain though. when my dad died I was the same way. but I needed to lose a lot cuz when I was caring for him I gained a ton. but you have no energy, its hard to get everyday things done. please go asap.

u need to call three on your side. (I live in the phx area!)

Hounds are crazy loud. only when they are left alone for too long. u people are killin me! giving bassets a bad rap. they are the perfect dogs for a family pet!

I had bassets all my life. they do not reek. ur ex in laws probably never bathed them. back to your issue, either doggie day care on a daily basis or dont do it. its not fair to the dog. way too long to leave alone. apts and bassets do not mix. but now im going to go look at her! I miss my baby so bad.

this is totally it! wipe off the blood and walk it off! thank you!!!!!! muah! you're the best!

try to eat an apple around 3 or so. its proven that it helps way more for energy than caffeine even! dont ask me where to find the proof!

extra energy throughout the day, boost in metabolism, change in attitude, gets it over with so there's no excuses or something else comes up. whats not to love?

thanks! its rather difficult for most of us to not focus on the scale. this helps a lot!

tough all the way around! I know its hard for me to resist the mall, the smell of the pretzel bites particularly! and my kids always want to go there! but ive worked hard so I dont want to ruin it! i always keep a bar in my purse. i think about what else I want, not just for now but for long term. u have to deal with the…

best, thread, eveeeeeeeeeeeer!!!!!!!!! ty i needed that lol!

ask yourself if you will be able to get back on track when u get back, if not dont overendulge

i found this massage therapist who was wonderful, it wasnt my back but my shoulder. the chiro i was seeing before wanted to send me for an mri. the therapist talked a lot about healing the body on its own. and stress and how much that has to do with pain. if you can find a therapist who deals with pain therapy that might…

being on your feet and walking are not the same thing. please invest in a pedometer of some kind. it will help if you think you move a lot. my job is very physical and im constantly moving for five hours a day and I still only burn an extra 200 cals a day according to my fitbit.

and this is why I love that we are friends!!!!!!!!!!

im in! waaaaaaaaay over 40! but no one can believe im 46 soon to be 47!

bump for later!

punching bag is the best stress reliever ever! its like 100 bucks and so worth the money! when u r lookin smoking hot when u run into him in the future thats the best revenge! the right person is out there for you. you just havent met him yet!

thank you for posting this including pics. so many people get so caught up in the numbers and when u see the changes u have made thats incredible!!!!!!!!!

from a co worker, your waist is so tiny! ive been working really hard lately. felt pretty damn good!:blushing:

ive lost 8 lbs in four months. it also has to do with how your body reacts. lost a size, so im happy! any loss is a loss. try takin pics now also so when u dont see any change on the scale you will see change in your body.

If you can afford it and want to do it, do it! sahm's are productive members of society. its a very hard job, but so worth it! being able to volunteer at my kids school, be home when they were sick, home after school and summers and holidays, so worth any financial sacrifices we may have made while they were growing up. my…

bump

you look amazing! so happy for you! great job!

thats not mean. just means u arent attracted to them. no fault in that. everyone is different. some men like bigger women. some dont. i was lucky my husband found me attractive in the first pic and still loves me when now that ive lost the weight and other guys hit on me right in front of him. yes some men are pigs. some…

actually, some guys say their junk gets bigger as they lose weight. or maybe its just cuz they can see it again. and btw this is totally unfair to us women that lose their boobs. but yay for the bigger junk! on another note, victorias has the best bras for making it look like u have extra in that dept. not that i would…

goodwill is and always has been my best friend! u can find decent clothes there for super cheap and if u find the right stuff on the right day they can be half price or only a dollar. everyones diff but about 20 lbs in is when i needed new stuff. just pants mostly

yes weight lifting helps more than you think! ck this out, http://www.weightwatchers.com/util/art/index_art.aspx?tabnum=1&art_id=10651&sc=3048

sometimes we need those reminders of where we were to not go back there. try to find pride in what u have done! the joy of pregnancy and amazing kiddos way outweighs the flabby tummy issues i have. its hard to remember sometimes but try to concentrate on the positive side. weight training helped me a lot. starting to see…
