Thank you all for your answers. I appreciate them so much.

Spinach Yogurt Chicken breast Protein granola bars Veggie burgers Apples Granola Multigrain sandwich thins Pretzels crisps Vodka? Lol

YES! All of the above.

I get dressed (but more importantly, UNdressed) for the gym in front of the mirror....2. One in front, one in back. It reminds me that there's always room for improvement.....that back mirror is cruel. Lol

5'2 I'm 117 and toning up. I used to think 108 was my goal but now I realize it's a look and feel that I want, not a number.

This is perfect! I actually had a scale related depression because it went UP 5 lbs! Even with my healthy diet and 5-6 DAYS of hard work at the gym. I looked better and no less smaller than before. Continue with monthly progress pics for your results rather than the scale. Lesson learned.

I was told by someone at the gym that I had.a "perfect" body. Lmfao! What gym clothes hide, they don't know but I'm wearing those workout clothes more often! Hahaha

Yummy. I would definitely go over my calories for a piece of that! Ok. That was "dirty old man-ish" I'm done being creepy. Great job! Really motivational.

That's honestly what I'm trying to avoid.

Oh the situation is complicated. I've been divorced. I'm not to keen on getting married anytime soon. we haven't done the "do" but we both want to. Like I said, he's my boss and has a great future in store for himself without me. We try to be rational and end it all now before it becomes serious, but we're so drawn to each…

Honestly, my boyfriend has put me down for losing "too much" weight. Screw em all. It's your health and happiness. If someone doesn't like you for a physical reason, well, guess what? It was never who you were that kept them around., fake a** bit**es. Easier said than done because it hurts to the core, but you can't make…

I used to say that if I couldn't have gone to high school with them, they were out of my age range. I currently have a thing for my 25 year old boss. I'm 31. The interest is mutual but I question the longevity if it all and think "what does he want with a 31 year old when he could have a 21 year old?"

32 next month! Eek!

I like alcohol. I like it alot. I drink every weekend. Has it hindered weight loss? Probably, but I wouldn't know because I'm not giving it up. If I sit at home and I'm bored, I'll eat and sit on the couch. If I drink, I'm out socializing and still consuming calories. The 230 cals in one icecream drumstick equals 3 vodka…

Love! Sadly, when I start losing the "in between" I also lose the "above" and "below"

Your core is just about the only thing that you CAN work everyday. Do as much as you like.

I just did my first mud run last weekend. You're going to have solo much fun! Bring extra clothes (they should have a shower type area) and bring plastic bags for your muddy clothes. Sunscreen, towel, extra shoes, wear shoes you don't care about ruining and if you are a runner, go with people on your same fitness level.…

I expect for him to have the courtesy to let me be excited and not to make me feel bad for wanting to share an exciting part of my life with him. He will go on and on about things I'm not particularly interested in but I enjoy that he's sharing with me. So, no, he doesn't have to be interested in all the same things, I…

No, I know better than to interrupt sports! Lmfao! He went to his cousin's wedding that happened to be on the same day. My mom came down from out of state and paid for my registration, so no backing out. He said that it wasn't a big deal that I couldn't go with him (he never makes time for my family) when he found out that…

The black dress!!! I like the off white one too, but for a wedding maybe not cool to wear something too close to white, if your SO is in the wedding, I don't think the pink is formal enough to be a man in a tux's date. I wore black to the last wedding and got a ton of compliments.

I can't see the after pic in the forum so I looked at your pro, you have done a great job! Absolutely astonishing!

Plumcots!!! Soooo good but I'm a fruit junky!

Yes! Your body is a constant machine, you don't lose weight day to day but with consistency over time. I'm very good during the work week and allow myself to enjoy my weekends.

I'm not sure that if you have heart problems that you can do much cardio, but you have to lose the fat over the muscle before you'll be able to see any toning you want to have done. Planks are good for your core as well as bicycle type crunches. I've heard lunges actually help tone your core too and any kind of weight…

Bump.to read later. This has often confused me. I eat over 1200 but don't eat my gym calories back so I net low. Want to figure this all out. Don't care how fast or slow it comes off.

Wear it! I bought pants that I thought were too tight and it actually helped my workout because they weren't baggy and I wasn't constantly pulling at them! As long as you're covered, no one judges. When is the last time you went to the gym and were more concerned about other peoples wardrobe rather than your workout? I'm…
