Yes, you can wear a bikini if that is what you want. Your weight is fine.

The food part is easier for now. I still have problems eating really healthy. I eat fast food too much, but try to stay around my calorie goal. Sometimes exercise is easier sometimes food is easier. It varies.

:) lol

My husband is the worst procrastinator I have ever met. He is also an extremely messy person. He does not work as hard has he should either.

I like flowers and maybe a night or two at a hotel without my son. Both of those would make a great birthday.

I love butts. I even think my little boy has the cutest butt I ever saw. Sadly I have not been blessed in the butt department. It is not my best feature-- kind of flat and has cellulite.

I cant think of anybody. It would have to be somebody who was not a jerk and most guys who have good looks, a lot of money, and girls fawning over them are jerks. I learned at a young age that a guy may be attractive and popular but is probably not very nice, a jerk, and snobby- mostly because they don't see how great I…

I have to say that I am a loud breather-- mostly a sigher. I don't know how to change it. My family has gotten on me about it.

I can't either. My husband is the worst when he eats fried chicken. I have to tell him to chew with his mouth closed or go to the other room to get away from it. I don't notice it any other time from him.

I agree to a point. When I see people have issues after going through a difficult divorce or bereavement or something similar, I am not surprised that they have emotional issues after. That seems really normal. Why is it expected that you should be fine and emotionally even keel when things are going very badly around you?…

They are actually not treated the same. A psychiatrist or doctor goes basically by what you tell them your symptoms are. For most diseases and problems they will do a test to confirm the diagnosis and be able to point to exactly what is wrong through this process. With mental health treatment that is not the case. They…

I take 100mgs Zoloft and have not noticed any problems. My sex drive is fine. I am losing weight fine. I don't feel extremely hungry. I don't feel numb or zombie like. I take it more for anxiety than depression. It is okay at that. What is frustrating about what I have experienced of the mental health world is that after I…

So funny. :)

I think I will be doing that for my next birthday. I love cheesecake.

You should eat the cake. It is your birthday and only one day a year. It is okay to relax on your program every once in a while. Happy Birthday!

I disagree. You would have to get those calories and protein from somewhere, so why not in a protein powder? It is actually pretty inexpensive if you think of what you would have to buy in meat or dairy or whatever to equal the same amount of servings of protein. Some brands are relatively inexpensive and last a long time.

Aww... Such a cute picture of you and your baby.

I am 28 and feel so old, probably because I feel like I haven't done much in the last 5 years. I feel like my lifespan is quickly passing and I don't have the body now to enjoy this time of life.

So funny. :) There actually are some one piece bathing suits with bra like cups inside and some will bring in the waist because they are made to make you look slimmer.

I am pretty close to you two. Age 28 SW 327 Current Weight 300 Ultimate Goal weight 150-120. 5'6''

I like high waisted pants on women. I think they look fine. They flatter a curvy figure. I find low waisted jeans on a woman kind of cuts off her curves in her lower half. It is an odd look for a woman.

I agree.

I agree. It looks too feminine.

I agree. That was the first thing I thought of.

I'm the same. I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow and am actually looking forward to being weighed in because I know it has gone down since my last visit.

I agree. The salmon with bones and skin is really fishy. The smell really gets me because it is so strong. It really grosses me out. I like canned tuna or salmon without skin and bones.

This is my favorite smoothie. 1.5 to 2 cups almond milk 2 cups frozen fruit with banana 2 servings soy protein powder organic sugar or other sweetener to taste ( optional) It is really simple and usually is very thick and creamy. It is 450 calories and quite a bit of protein.

Raw pumpkin seeds have 30% daily value for iron. A half cup of beans has 10%. Soy beans and other soy products are good. Blackstrap molasses, potatoes, fortified grains, some vegetables and eggs have a lot too.

I think you look really great in your clothes. It is hard to believe you are 194 lbs. You don't look it.

I have read that they burn about 100-150 calories per mile for a 150 lb person.
