You just have to schedule it in. When life is hectic, you have to plan to workout. It's like I tell my group of friends and family..... make a plan and then execute it. And don't worry about hours at the gym every day..... the first hurdle you need to get over is believing that you don't have time or energy. Energy will…

Well.... I was actually making a list of things I would do now (not on welfare, by the way...just wanted to make that clear) if I won $100K from the lotto.... so $250K will go so much further.... 1. Pay the taxes for the winnings. 2. Pay off my credit card debt. 3. Pay off my car. 4. Max out my Roth IRA contributions for…

According to the Social Security Administration, being "fat" is not a disability.

I checked it out once and decided not to join because ... I wanted to help people with their fitness goals.... not their "financial" goals. I love Beachbody products, but I would never approach a Beachbody Coach. That's just me and I probably represent the majority of the population which you would try to sell to.... and…

Don't approach this topic. This topic does not need to be approached.

I'm sorry, I don't have children or this problem or a probable fix to your predicament; but I wanted to drop a line to CONGRATULATE you and every parent on here who has given you ideas on how to work around your obstacle..... for trying different things.... for wanting to stay fit.... for not using your children as an…

Yes. The proof is in the pudding.

Once you get into your groove of your workout, you will be so focused on your training that you will not notice what others are or are not doing. It can be irritating at times to know you will need a machine and see that the person/people on it are not using it for it's purpose... sort of using it to sit and chat like the…

Baby steps.... just take baby steps. Don't get distrancted and don't get discouraged.... you just do what you can and your physical condition will improve. Getting back on the bike should not be a stressful event for you..... it should be something you look forward to as you watch and measure your improvement.

Good for you! I love a happy ending! :flowerforyou:

I have learned that losing weight is easy. Keeping it off, a whole other story! I learned to LOVE and look forward to my workouts. I learned to accept compliments. I learned to enjoy food.... really enjoy it.

I have found that a low carb diet does not work for me. My blood sugar drops and I feel like I am going to pass out! This is not even an option, so I have to restrict calories to lose weight and I know how you mean.... the weight comes off slowly. What if, and here's a thought, you rotate from low carb to low calorie days?

This is not what you want to hear, but stop running. And trust me, I am a runner and I know what an infuriating response this is!

Ice cream is not exactly healthy, but the alternatives are full of unhealthier junk. Just eat small portions. Don't keep it in the house. Go out and buy a small scoop. It's all good.

Yogi teas usually tell you what you're detoxing when you drink their tea. It may be on the side of the box...if I remember correctly. I think it may have the same antioxidant effects that studies have shown that things like blueberries and dark chocolate or wine has..... I think it has to do with your liver. Don't quote…

"Kiddo" I don't know what's gotten into Mr. Man, but lately he calls me "kiddo" and while I know he is being affectionate.....to me it is borderline condescending..... and here's a very weird one..... it's not that I hate it, but it feels weird when he addresses me by name. I prefer "Sweetie" and "Baby Doll" and even…

When I pay the water bill, I am also paying for the garabgeman's salary. Our waste management is run by the city and city EE's do not accept tips.....or shouldn't. I would never even think to tip the garbageman.....

Like you, I owe my weight loss to bulk cooking. And now that I have gone away from that, I am not as "skinny" as I used to be or as "skinny" as I want to be..... but this encourages me.... it sort of dismistified my recent weight gain or reminded me how to lose the new fat/weight. :bigsmile:

Absolutely....and that is why I hate taking pictures because I feel that I look heavier in the picture that I do in "real life". I own a mirror, after all. In fact, last night my boyfriend was taking some random pictures and when he showed me.... I looked so pudgy.... but I see his kid in the picture with me.... and she…

Vodka tonic with a twist is my absolute favorite. Another option is vodka with diet cranberry juice.... "diet" and not "light"..... Light beer is yummy. Red wine is even good for you.

Because you signed a contract with LA Fitness for 12 months of personal training, they will send you to collections for the remaining amount that you do not intend to pay. This will impact your credit and you will have difficulty for many years when you want to buy a car or a house or rent an apartment. Your creditors will…

No one is perfect... and no relationship is effortless. A great boyfriend is different depending on the "expectations" of the girlfriend. I am sorry, but there is no way to answer your question specifically. What I love about my boyfriend, who is SO not perfect but simply wonderful, is that he knows ME.... he knows when I…

I was told I was "fit". That "description" made me feel deeply complimented....

I felt "guilty" about eating one Ghiradelli Dark Chocolate square. I was "honest" and logged it in. It was a happy surprise to see that the serving size is 4 squares.... and I only had 1.... which was more than enough. I broke the square in four parts and just put it in my mouth. Dark chocolate melts at 93 degrees, so it…

Have you considered.... just throwing this out there..... perhaps.... not eating the whole thing? Maybe some self-control when you can't control the Chipotle staff? Hmm? I buy a burrito bowl at Chipotle and make 3 meals out of it.

Not really. In fact, I often stop counting and only return when I need to lose a few pounds. I am counting now.....

My waist is not at my navel.... because I am not a guy.... but I am at 36.5 at that point.... and my waist measures 30. It seems so lofty.....but I would love a 26 inch waist..... I've been close at 27 in late 2011...and that is why it seems lofty.... I don't know that I can go smaller than that... my rib cage and hips…

And what's wrong with 144 when you're 5'8"?
