Hello! I'm in Chicago as well. Would love to be friends!

Friend request sent! I'm happy to have new friends. :)

Are you doing those floor exercises on a mat? If not, you should look into getting a fitness mat made for this sort of thing. Amazon has some affordable ones.

No matter how many times I fall or fail, I pick myself up, dust myself off, and start again. I am a fighter. :)

Online dating can be difficult, and hit or miss as far as "quality" dates. I think rather participating in activities that garner your interest is a way to just meet people in general, and bonus you already have one important shared interest. Groupon is a great way to do this for cheaper, especially if you are in or near a…

You don't necessarily need to "eat more" but you need to eat things good for you but higher in calories such as pasta. You're working out a LOT for 900 calories so track your intake here and see what your carb/protein/fat breakdown is as a guide but you should probably speak to a nutritionist asap to get a realistic…

People everywhere are going to be eating gross stuff you shouldn't be eating. It's more difficult when it's *in your home* and the food is there to eat, but your husband is not the source of the problem. You're just in a situation where you need to learn to be strong and really focus on your commitment to being healthier.…

Caprese! Roma tomatoes Fresh buffalo mozzarella Fresh basil Quality balsamic/olive oil (if you mix it first it's one ingredient, haha) salt & pepper, which I never count ;)

Super playful!

I was diagnosed with grave's disease almost ten years ago. Before that I had a ton of energy. Now I'm lucky if I can make it through an afternoon of running errands. My weight loss has to be nearly 100% calorie restriction because on any given day I could run out of energy after literally five minutes of working out. Can't…

Unfortunately I am lactose intolerant so choc milk is out (and I miss it!!), but I actually have been adding the choc protein powder to my almond milk, it's so delish! :)

I bake salmon wrapped up in a parchment paper pack, and on top I sprinkle dill, place a small pat of butter and finally a slice of lemon, for each piece of fish. It's SO delish.

I've all but eliminated processed foods and white carbs from my diet. Makes a WORLD of difference.

Monistat anti-chafing gel. It's like a powdery gel that goes anywhere you rub, so inner thighs, under boob, those sorts of places. Works nicely to keep things moving!

I got the sense he was referring to himself, not putting down all members of the community. Let's chill out. :)

I will either make a small salad and eat before I go, that curbs some of my appetite or a little extra time on the recumbent bike to burn some extra calories.

Aww thank you!

@shayzeepoo Yes, you are beautiful! :)

34 very soon! :D

Hey there! I'm trying to get down 60-70, feel free to friend me all! :)

Hey there! I'm about to be 34 and it's nice to find another woman my age here! Good luck to you! :)

Last year I fell into a deep depression and put on enough weight that my doctor became concerned. One of my blood tests came back as being pre-diabetic. At the same time, I was nearly busting out of my size 16s and after having been a steady 12/14 most of my adult life I refuse to go into an 18. It's time to not only get…
