Don't give up! Try other instructor's classes.

Two days after I posted this topic, one of my dear friends died of brain cancer, and then I found out that my mother has ovarian cancer on that very same day. Needless to say, I haven't been focusing much on my weight or appearance since then. I've been traveling quite a bit so that I can be with my mother for all of her…

BTW, my ex had a portrait studio set up at his sisters unoccupied house. He was recruiting models on-line to take there for nude sessions. All of this was going on during the day while I was at work. He was such a habitual liar that when he actually received his bachelor's degree, his mother insisted on seeing his diploma…

There is life after divorce. Take care of yourself, and don't feel the need to start another relationship right away. Be very picky about the next man so that you can ensure that you get the partner you deserve, and your son gets a good role model.

Thanks so much, y'all. Love all the info! And yes, I do need to rethink my goals. I wonder if those muscular gals at the gym would kick my *kitten* if I walked up to them with a measuring tape...

I know someone with this problem, except mostly when she sneezes. She wears Pull-Ups. You know, the things that are used for potty training. They make them for up to a 125 pound person. I swear, I can't tell she's wearing them.

Good article. Thanks for sharing!

What muffin top?! Maybe your frame is skinny at a size 14. My frame is actually fat at size 8. We're all different. You look awesome, girl! Enjoy that bod!

I voted. Best of luck to you!

Are you eating enough protein and drinking enough water?

I just put bell pepper, squash, tomato, and cucumber seeds in planters. I live in the desert and haven't had great luck with vegetables and herbs, but I keep trying.

Uh, can I be your wife, Ed? Or perhaps you have a brother for me?

I also love spaghetti squash as a pasta alternative. It's currently out of season though. Boohoo!

5'3" and my goal is 110, but I'm thinking I will stop at 115 because I'm trying to build muscle. Besides, at 110 I get pretty flat chested.

I am a single mother of two Italian Greyhounds. I adopted the female six months before I kicked her doggy daddy out. During those six months, we made her sleep in her kennel. I was up every night (the ex slept through everything) cleaning her and her poopy kennel and doing doggy laundry. We would sleep the remainder of…

You are worth it! You deserve to be healthy and confident. Keep going, girl. You will get there, and you will also enjoy the journey.

I love you for posting this recipe! I wonder how other cereals would work. I bet cornflakes would be good too.

Thanks! Just added it to my grocery list.

I should tell you why we split up. I found out that he was recruiting college girls on the internet and photographing them nude at his sister's house when she was out of town. I just thank my lucky stars that I am no longer married to that loser.

Yep. After hyperventalating quite a bit and dropping many loud f-bombs at the gym, I noticed in the mirror how good I looked, and I started thinking that fabulousity is the best revenge.

I don't have a spouse or bf. So I will show some good friends some love by doing happy hour with them, and then I'll go home and hug and kiss my dogs.

My addiction is wine. So you shouldn't beat yourself up over sugarless gum.

If you haven't asked to borrow money from them, then they should shut the F up!

Society's Child (Janis Ian's new autobiogrphy). I'm loving the book, and I got to meet her and have it signed.

Finally saw the Hangover. Very disappointed. I'm running out of things to put in my Netflix queue.

Man, that was some party! I don't remember you, but don't take that as an insult. I woke up this morning fully clothed, including shoes and wool coat. Oddly, I managed to get a red wine stain on my bra. Anyway, sorry I missed you. Thanks for the intro.

Pure Protein double chocolate, peanut butter chocolate, or smores. The fruity flavors are kind of weird.

I always have cottage cheese, boiled eggs, and string cheese on hand.

IMHO, you need more protein. It will fill you up, but not make you feel bloated like carbs can.

A lady that I used to work with gave me shi% about how I ate every day in front of everyone at work. Finally one day, when she started up, I lost it and said "Ya know, I never judge anyone else for the way they eat or their fitness routine. I eat the way I do and work out because I am very self conscious about my weight,…
