LMAO this was a great post! :) I feel the same way... see... see... I'm logging off! :) *foaming at the mouth*

Thanks so much! And by the way - I love your picture!!! :)

And here I thought I was the only one!!! :blushing: I used to have no problem with my plumbing... (LOL) but now, since I'm dieting, I don't go as often or at all!!! :grumble: It sucks, I know - but I usually try to eat some prunes, raisin bran... all that good stuff! Good luck to you!

Great job, Steve!!! And it's not bragging - it's well deserved!!! :) I'm on week 7 and have lost 21 pounds! :) So I'm gonna brag right along with ya!!! :oP Good luck to you and keep up the good work!!! :bigsmile: :heart:

Hi All! I notice on some of your wonderful profiles you seem to have an avatar picture of your body losing weight? Does anyone know what I'm talking about and where I can get one for myself? Thanks!!! :heart: :bigsmile:

Thank you so much! :o) Happy Losing!!! :oP:drinker:

Thanks so much for this post! I love the suggestion of epsom salt in my bath... It'll give me an excuse to soak, light some candles, and relax! :) And you're so right.... Richard is so positive and caring... it almost makes me tear up! :oP Such a great guy and what he does for the overweight community is just overwhelming!…

How interesting!!! :) Well thanks so much for letting me know! I'm off to the market after work to pick up some bananas! :) Thanks so much and Happy Friday! Janis

No I haven't actually... maybe I'll give that one a shot too... people keep saying it's easy on the knees and gives you a kick butt workout! Hey, it's worth a try, right? Thanks for commenting!!! Happy Friday!!!

Thank goodness!!! Richard Simmons is pretty compassionate and when I try things like Tae Bo, I don't like getting yelled at. LOL It's like Billy Blanks (sp) is mad at fat people and takes it out during the video!! LMAO j/k But I'm so glad someone else admitted to it... it was so hard to do, but now that I have, I've taken…

I sure as heck doesn't seem like it to me either! :o) Ah well, there's so much going on in women's bodies that it even confuses us!!! :)

Yea... that would be good, but we can't forget the nipple ring!!! :)

I know!!! I've gone up about 4 pounds during all of this and it's soooo crappy. You get so used to losing and then WHAM... your body puts you in check! :o) Like I said - sometimes I really hate being a woman!!! You're exactly right... there are some days where I kick *kitten* at Richard Simmons' routine and I own him...…

Hmmm... Something tells me that Richard wouldn't be able to keep up with Speed Metal! Though it'd be fun to watch him try!!! :)

Ya know, I hate cardio too - but his videos really work the ENTIRE body... I hurt in places I didn't even know I had!!! :oP And what is it with Mom's and Richard Simmons? :laugh:

LOL It was actually 80's Blast Off!!! :o) I swear... it's the spandex that keeps me going!!! :laugh:

That's an interesting thought... Next time around I'm gonna try that and see how it works... And ginger tea, huh? Maybe I'll go pick up a box after work today!!! Thanks for the advice!!!

Thank you so much for the useful information!!! It makes a lot of sense, if you ask me!!! :o)

It's funny, I'm almost done with my visit from Aunt Rose (tee-hee) and I'm back to the weight I was before all of this started. Sometimes, I really hate being a woman!!! :) And thanks for the compliment on my name! :o) Happy Friday!!!

However, I started out on the treadmil and lost a lot of weight fairly quickly. But, my shin splints and my knee (which was dislocated about two years ago) were not agreeing with this workout. As a result, my mom suggested a Richard Simmons DVD. *ducks behind anything out of shame* LOL But, I tried it, and there's no pain…

Good for you!!! :) I can't wait until I'm under 200!!! :oP Keep up the amazing work girlie - I know you can do it!!! :bigsmile:

Hey you! :) well, I gotta tell you, the bigger you are the quicker you lose - also it just depends on how hard you're working out and what it is you're eating. I've changed my diet completely to be honest, and now I work out for 2 hours a day. (one hour in the am and one hour in the evening) It's just a matter of getting…

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU all so much for your kind words and support! You have no idea how much that helps and motivates me! :oP Thank you again, I really appreciate it all you guys!!! :heart:

Hi guys! I just wanted to say that today ended my 5th week of diet and exercise and I've lost 20 pounds! I'm so excited!!! :o) :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: I just thought I'd share and good luck to all of you as well!!! happy losing! Janis

I have to say - my mom bought this one from KMart, then I went out and bought the same one and it has been AMAZING!!! I strongly suggest getting this treadmill!! http://www.kmart.com/shc/s/p_10151_10104_080W599974110001P?keyword=treadmill It's the Weslo Cadence 55 treadmil! Best of luck to you!!! Janis

Since January 21st, I've lost 17 pounds!!! :bigsmile:

I am too and I completely understand. It's like while you're doing it, you're telling yourself that it's a special occasion... I'll just go for an hour and a half on the eliptical tomorrow... But once it's all over, and you're alone.... You just begin to feel disgusted. I know exactly what you're saying - and I have to…
