In dating you attempt so much to please the other person. You go out of your way to make them like you. Once you are in a long term relationship, then they just start being more themselves again. We all get comfortable in relationships, sometimes too much. You start not dressing nice, you may start doing gross things in…

I wish my now fiancé would have had a photographer! I would have loved to have those memories to hold onto forever. My fiancé did it at the Bellagio botanical garden in Las Vegas. I told him I wanted flowers, music, and soft lighting. I wanted it to be the perfect mood. Get on pinterest. They have some awesome ideas. There…

Girls tend to go for a guy that they can "change." Eventually they will give up on this madness and go for a good guy. A good guy is hard to find that is single!!!!!!!!!! Continue to be a good guy, it will pay off.

Ideally for me it would be a couple times a week. However, my soon-to-be husband is a farmer which means crazy hours in the spring and the fall. Sometimes work makes it lucky to have it 1 a month. I hate it when we have it maybe monthly, but I think every relationship goes thru a dry spell at some point. if this is an…

You can't pick your family!I can so relate to you though it isn't even funny! I got engaged last July to my boyfriend of 4 years. My sister has been with her boyfriend/baby daddy since January 2005. As soon as I get engaged, low and behold that mom starts talking about them getting engaged. My sister has created nothing…

I haven't even hit mine, I would have already had I stayed on top of it like I am suppose to. My ultimate celebration won't be planned. It will be when I run into my ex-boyfriend and the look on his face! The other ultimate celebration is when I get into a swimsuit and everyone's jaws drop!!!! Especially my mom and sisters…

To the majority of your shopping in the produce section. Fresh fruits and vegetables if at all possible. Stay away from processed foods such as lunch meat because the sodium kills you. Same with those frozen meals that are "healthy" they have soo much sodium in them. I also use spaghetti squash instead of pasta when I can…

Tips and advise for success?

I am super duper interested!

THanks for the invite. I am a 25 y/o female who gets on and off the wagon more than some people change their underwear! I thought getting engaged it would do it for me, but nope not yet. So now my wedding is August 24 and it is time to get my butt in gear so I won't hate myself forever. I am hoping to get lots of support…

Name: Ali Wedding Date: 8-24-13 Home State: Indiana Current Weight- unknown until tonight! Goal Weight: 130 or less

First off, how rude of him. We all have our flaws whether it be weight, tobacco uses, alcohol, etc. Sit down and explain to him that this really hurts you emotionally when he says this stuff. Help him see where you are coming from. Give him some examples of things he can do/say to be more of a support system. I know you…

I have seen my friends get into relationships and gain quite a bit of weight. I told him I don't want to become so comfortable in our relationship that I "supersize" myself. I have asked my fiancee to tell me when I start to look bad, but I doubt I will get to that point because I am tougher on myself than he ever could be…

You are not alone sweety! :) I still live with my parents, but eat dinner half the time with them, and the other half with my fiancee. My mom who "claims to be" on a diet seems to sabotage me. The other night she had us over for dinner and made a chocolate cake that you put icing and oreos on. SERIOUSLY? I had a bite of it…

if you really want to lose... 1) drink more water and nothing else! No coffee, no starbucks, no adult beverages, etc. 2) No fast food! 3) Lots of fresh fruit and veggies! 4) Lots of lean protein! Turkey burger, grilled chicken, etc. 5) work out a minimum of 20 minutes: walking, dancing, etc 6) Meet with friends over a walk…

Well he might not be gaining weight with his unhealthy habits, but who knwos what his cholesterol and stuff is at! Eating healthy is beneficial to everyone, not those who are overweight! I have the same problem with my BF who wants to eat sodas, drink beer, a bunch of dinner rolls, etc. I have slowly started making him…

Heres some things to cut back on: sodas (waste of calories and money!!!), adult beverages-same thing!, chips (waste of calories and money and they don't satisfy your hunger!) Here is what I do: drink water (it is nearly free), get lunch meat (sometimes I even eat it without the bread to save calories!), pick some cheaper…

He has to understand that you are doing this to possibly save your life one day. Sounsd like your odds of having it are greater than not having it. I don't blame you one bit for going ahead and being safe. Explain to your husband if it was his male parts, how would he feel? Would he rather have you alive and well, or sick…

I have been with my boyfriend for 4 years. We have known each other our whole life (growing up he was my brother's best friend). He has asked me to move in, but I wanted to be traditional. I wanted a ring before that happened. Thus, I still live at home with my parents because I don't have a ring yet. Living together,…

I see my mom who is 55ish (she lies so much about her age, nobody knows for sure lol) and how she is at her age. I see her struggling to get up, I see her so uncomfortable in her own skin she won't wear a swimsuit to swim with her grandkids. I see her limp in pain because her knees hurt so bad from carrying extra weight. I…

That is why I love shopping for purses, shoes, lipgloss, etc! Hang in there.. once you get closer to the end of your journey you will love shopping!

"Look. I guarantee there'll be tough times. I guarantee that at some point, one or both of us is gonna want to get out of this thing. But, I also guarantee that if I don't ask you to be mine, I'll regret it for the rest of my life, because I know, in my heart, you're the only one for me." - Runaway Bride..... I also think…

I would call and speak to them in advance. That way it will lessen the embarrassment that you may receive on the day you fly. Sorry I can't be of more help! I have never flown before. My first time will be mid-July!

While Lean Cusines appear healthy, check the sodium. Some of those frozen food meals that are "healthy" are super high in sodium! :( 1) Rem why you started! 2) Make a list of why you want to lose weight and what you will do after you reach your goal! 3) make small goals, such as log all food, then log all food + stay under…

I LOG EVERYTHING!!! :) EVERY SINGLE BITE!! I literally log everything, even if it means guessing how much I ate. One it holds you more accountable! If you don't log you are only hurting yourself.. The point of counting calories is to make yourself aware of what you are eating. we all have bad days. We all have a guilty…

Step one- What causes your emotions that lead to binge eating? Part of losing weight and this journey, is to re-train your brain. opt for water, and make yourself wait 20 minutes, if you still want it then have some, ie: small piece of cake not the whole thing. Next time you attempt to opt for food think of these things:…

So much to say, and I hope this comes across the way I want it to and not mean! **If you like him this much, and he is the wrong guy, think how crazy you will be about the RIGHT one. **I find more motivation in working out after breakups, because when he (or his friends or him+ new gf) see me out, I want him to be like…

TRY SUPER DUPER ICE COLD! I like mine super cold with ice! It always works for me! Before you know it you will be a water addict! I also use the generic waterbottle flavor packets: lemonade, fruit punch, etc when I need something different.

*popcorn with little butter or no butter ( best if you homemake it with no toppings!) *rice cakes from Quaker, some are only 50 calories for a cake patty thing *grapes *apples *pineapple *banana *watermelon *cantelope *zucchini with parmesan cheese then stick it in the microwave for a few minutes *spaghetti squash instead…

Sounds like your body is in neutral if you are doing the same thing day in and day out. Try doing swimming, a dance video, zumba, etc. Your body learns that this is the norm, you have to keep it guessing. So I suggest mix up your workout routine and maybe even the foods you are eating. Plus make sure you drink your water!…
