while i don't like the topic - i do like the constitution .... thank god some people still know how govt is supposed to run!

omg ~ friend me too!!! :angry:

omg! i just had this moment this morning -- my bra is HUGE on me and I was a size d ... nooo!!!!! i feel like a middle school girl who needs to stuff with socks!! my butt is never going away -- built like a white beyonce ...hahaha!! i've always had it and always will ... but now it doesn't jiggle!!

my 13 year old is overweight --- part genetics (we grow big guys at 6'3" as average) but due to concussion missed 2 seasons of football. i created an account for him not to lose weight but for him to see what he was eating. he's a carb addict!! we found out he was at 3x's the amount of sugar but at a deficit in calories…

i embraced my pb and nutella addiction --- make sandwiches on low fat graham crackers. 2 crackers and 1 tbs pb and 1/2 tbs nutella and i freeze them! totally worth the calories and are awesome!!! takes longer to eat cause both of them freeze solid. i say don't fight it -- just makes you crazy. you need to figure out a way…

thank you for your answer -- that's what i was looking for. tonight i signed my son up for mfp as a way to just track his food ...since he's had a year long concussion and missed last year and this year on the football team he's gained about 20 pounds. hoping that by having conversations about the son that a lightbulb will…

i've never said i'm better than him -- but am healthier and yes, sexier, unless you consider middle aged overweight men who chew tobacco to be sexy .... i'm not packing my **** (would have done that w/ above referenced tough time) but am frustrated that i'm getting "better" for myself and for him/kids and he is not (and is…

pretty sure he did and i won't elaborate other than to say life was pretty hard for 2 1/2 years but we (and by that i mean me) stuck to it .....

do you have a good place for a recipe?

haha! no .... he just grew up meat/potato and no exercise .... i grew up the opposite. both of our backgrounds are catching up with us i guess ....

after 16 years i'm pretty sure he's not gonna join me ..... and that's part of why i'm frustrated .... i do love him and want him to be around but that's not gonna make him change if it hasn't already .... trying to see what others who have gotten in shape do when the spouse has no interest and you're going 2 different…

Chipmunk: we're kinda in the same boat. but he quit smoking and starting chewing. and he watches :man shows: and i rarely watch tv. soooo...... are you also annoyed by it? some people on here made me feel shallow but i'm not ---- i know i didn't marry him for his body but i do look at it every day ..... and it bothers me…

that sounds delish!!!!

which is not a judgment!!!! :)

real boobs???

^that is funny!!!!! :laugh:

you just convinced me to go take some pix of myself!! down 10 pound since i joined but i also want to add muscles --- you look awesome!!! :smile:

guess i need a hrm ... never used one and don't want to spend a bazillion dollars on one so i've put off getting one....

do you have much more to lose? you look great in the pix - so are you building muscle or actively trying to lose pounds?

have you tried changing anything? adding, deleting or swapping out? i altered how i eat and focused on protein and tried to dump the carbs -- pounds started coming off and i feel much better. try new cardio stuff? i'm considering giving crossfit a try -- looks insanely hard and like a ton of fun!

damn - that sounds like lyrics to a country song!!! :wink:

hey!! i'm w/ you!!! gonna friend you so we can do this together! i'm a mom of 5 (ages 13-3) and full time teacher ... time is limited but i get to the gym 5 days a week and have lost 8 pounds this month simply by keeping track of my food and, honestly, actually eating enough. go us!!!! :wink:

hey there co-mom-of-5! i'm turning 40 next year, have five kids ages 13-3 and am almost back to my "Before I had Kids" size ... addicted to spin class and determined to kick some serious *kitten* when that bday rolls around!!!!

i spin 4-6 times a week for 60-120 minutes ... do heavy climbs, sprints, jumps..... and have no build up ... in fact, bikers typically have very lean legs (not me ... short and square but nothing jiggles!) look at all the pros -- yes they are muscles but not bulky. i'd go for measurements and be sure you are eating enough.…

WEEEELLLLCCOOOMMEEE!!!! I've only been here for a month but love the friends, supports, ideas and general vibe of the site. Overall it's uber positive. Every post I've made has been bombed w/ replies almost instantly! Feel free to add me -- I'm in it for the long haul!!! My oldest is 13 years old, youngest is 3 and since…

Happy Monday!!!! Make one better choices today than you did yesterday - one thing at a time!!! :happy: You can do it!!!!

i honestly never thought of that - genius!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
