This made me smile, if only cause I have to look down into my husband's eyes. Does this make me the sexy one? :laugh: I think the biggest thing is confidence. Every once in a while I tease my husband about being shorter, but he just doesn't care. I can understand where women come from with the height thing a bit. I've…

I know what you mean. I'm 5'11" (and probably a 1/2, but I prefer to round down lol), and my husband is a solid 5'9", though he'd love to think he is taller. I don't know that I could go much lower than that though.

In theory too much water can be bad, but the chances of you doing it are very slim. I heard of some guys who tried chugging gallons and gallons of water in a short period of time as part of a contest, and it killed them. The problem there is that your body's salt percentages ends up becoming too small compared to the water…

You can friend me! It sounds like our goals and motivations are really similar. I'm 24 and I'm trying to make a change for the better. I didn't grow up with the best role models for eating/body image. I can understand how it can be really easy to get into a slump because of it.

You can friend me! I can't promise I won't eventually leave, but I tend to be pretty goal oriented/obsessed once I start something. I have a lot to lose and I really want to make this a life style change as well. :D

Being 5'11" I always tried to tell myself I "liked" tall lanky guys, but the truth is every crush I've had was on a guy shorter than me. I tend to prefer large boned squatty looking guys. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: They don't have to be "short", but I kinda like a long torso. lol For me, what really matters is feeling…

I read somewhere in a science book (in relation to weighing and comparing minerals) that you can only tell the difference in two rocks, when holding them in your hands, if one of them is at least 10% heavier or lighter than the other. Otherwise they feel the exact same weight to you because your body can't tell that minute…

I'm trying to get my husband interested in MFP. For him he just doesn't have the time to figure out the app program and estimate what all he has eaten. For now he has a profile and knows how much he should eat, so I told him to just try to read labels and guess as best he can to stay in that range. He has a very physically…

This is a great thread. :laugh: For me it's all mind over matter. My tastes in guys tend to follow who I'm with at the moment. So whoever kind of looks like my husband is who I find more attractive at the moment. Before that I liked a totally different physique. That said, nothing beats a man in uniform (not including fast…

Here is another I didn't think of before. I hate puppets. I've had nightmares about them, I find them really irritating, though not "creepy". Like I'm not scared of them. When I was little I couldn't stand to watch any children's shows with puppets in them. :laugh:
-
I obsessively count/reread when I'm anxious (which usually just makes it worse), specially when it comes to locks and alarms. Now that I'm married I have my husband check the locks and set the alarm, which helps me stay more relaxed. Before I had him set the alarm he once caught me staring at the alarm for a couple minutes…

I know what you mean about the C25K. I think it can be rather challenging for us who want to lose more weight. I'm not sure about your weight range, but I would be considered obese. When I'm running I also have to run with an extra 80 lbs. My joints get tired and I start to get a bit of asthma. Right now I'm at week 4 and…

1. What Week/Day are you on? W4-D1 2. How do you feel? Worn out. 3. Have you had to repeat a week or day? Nope. 4. Did you add time or remove time from one of your runs? Not to running. Sometimes I walk a little longer on my cool down so my legs don't cramp when I get done. 5. Do you notice something different about…
-
I don't know if this helps or not, but often when you see someone every day who is losing weight it can be kind of hard to bring up. If you see someone that has lost a lot of weight since you last saw them it can be kind of easier since you're supposed to talk about things that have changed. I've noticed several people who…

Do you exercise every day? When I had dreads I would exercise every other day and wash my hair on the days I'd work out. On the days I didn't I'd just tie my hair up while I showered. If you wash too frequently they can come out a little, but I think it would be better than letting sweat build up. If anything you could…

I know this thread is a bit old, but I thought I'd add my two cents. I had dreads for 3 1/2 years, then they just got too long and I was worried about getting jobs (going into education). I had my boyfriend at the time comb them out. It took like 24 hrs collectively to get them out and my hair was super frizzy for like a…

I know this thread is rather old, but I wanted to share my two cents. I got a massive DVT in my whole left leg after being on nuvaring for three months (only 18 yrs old and fairly healthy). Turns out I had a blood clotting disorder (genetics) that was triggered by the hormones. Even without that I'm 100% certain it was the…

This is my second time on mirena iud. I had the first for three years and had backaches, breast tenderness, cramping all the time, spotting all the time, and bloating. I was positive it was what was wrong with my weight gain. After I got it out I did feel better cycle wise and no longer had any of those side effects, but I…

It wasn't. I tried looking on walmart and every other online store I could think of. Ebay is super high just like amazon. Overstock doesn't have it. Boo.

I have no clue as to my own picture. I picked it because I didn't know if I wanted my face shown. I made the mask as part of the open house event at my college. I was helping out in the art education room as part of my degree/student teaching. And even if it isn't technically my own face, I feel like it represents who I am…

Working on art (that's my degree) or sewing/crocheting something for someone (it is nice accomplishing a goal by making something). Otherwise I like to go on walks and listen to music. Reading and watching movies can be nice, but I can get easily distracted by my head.
-
The problem I'm having is that the one I was watching isn't anywhere to buy. I found it used on amazon for like $80.00. Yeah right, no thank you.

In my experience exercise has helped. It has been six years since my DVT (clot was in whole left leg and possibly abdomen). I have obvious valve damage. On the occasion I wear compression stockings and take them off, I can feel the blood drain back down my leg. So I know that it won't stay out completely on its own.…

I have been using the Crunch: Super SlimDown Pilates Yoga video on Netflix. Today I went to see if there were any other videos I might want to try and couldn't find that video (which was in my instant queue) or any other fitness videos. Is anyone else having this problem? Did their contracts for those suddenly end? I'm so…

I just started (lost 10 lbs), but hopefully in the future I'll be able to share my progress as well. I'm 5'11" and have always felt like Godzilla standing next to everyone. It'll be nice once I lose weight, so I'm just tall instead of tall and wide. Great to see we are all in this together!
-
For me it helps that I don't wear glasses when I jog, so it's kind of the mentality I can't see them so they can't see me. Everyone I've run across while jogging/walking/running always smiles at me. I think that typically if you are in an area with a lot of people who get out and are active that they'll be really…

Hey! This is my first time using the site/app too. I also have a long goal ahead, so I'd be happy to friend you!

Munchkinated, it's funny that you mentioned that. Since it's summer and I have more free time than usual (no classes), I've been crocheting a lot. I started making my own patterns for crochet food. My husband joked that instead of eating food I'll be making it.…

Great artwork everyone! I'm a bit of a noob, so I really can't figure out how to post pictures in this text box. I don't see any sort of edit functions at all. So instead I'm going to just say, please visit my website if you'd like. http://www.wbandel.info

Hi, I'm new to the site/group. I just found out about it. Recently moved from Kansas after getting my BFA in Drawing and BS in Art Education and am getting ready to start my MFA in Illinois this fall. I love art of all types. I'm trying to self teach myself a bit of fiber art (since it wasn't offered where I went to…
