Well, just great...it appears each man is an individual as to whether or not they want you to be bold or not, lol. So, now comes the guessing game of figuring out what way the guy you are interested in likes it, hehe. Blah...I am just now back in the "single" life so these responses discourage me as they are all so…

That's me too. I have an elliptical at home also. Along with walking to the park etc.

46....ugh

Thank you so much Classy. I am not sure how to reply to comments in here, and it appears I did it wrong....lol. Sorry.

I am a cancer survivor and open-heart surgery survivor that stemmed from the radiation for cancer. Now have a mechanical aortic valve that ticks away and can be heard by others in a quiet room.

Wow, you look amazing!!! You have much to be excited about!

lol, so funny and true!!! I had people tell me that they stuck toilet paper between their cheeks to be sure and cover any accidents :blushing:

lol, the one post about the oil problem is true. I took it when it was prescription Xenecal (may have spelled it wrong), but at that time you actually took the prescribed dose of two capsules before each meal. Now that it is over the counter, it is a bit expensive but I have taken it when I could afford it and I doubled up…

Wow, amazing!!! What a great job you have done. Working with Durable Medical Equipment, we issue a lot of c-pap and bi-pap machines for sleep apnea. I know that I have sleep apnea too but have not had the sleep study done. I had open heart surgery though for a defective heart valve so have a mechanical aortic valve now and…

Oh, one of my favorite new things is Vitamuffins. I haven't found them at Wal-Mart yet but have at Target. When I crave chocolate, etc, (and they have so many flavors), they are wonderful!!!! I tried to copy and paste the nutritional info for you here, but couldn't get it to work for me, but they have 100 calories, 9…

I work in a medical clinic and have seen people who are doing the HCG diet. There are some that actually lose some of their hair due to the loss of valuable vitamins and minerals, etc during this diet. And, you can't stay on this diet and every person I have seen on it, has gained back all and even more of their previous…

I agree with the above posts! As someone who has also attended the Y and done the whole treadmill, elliptical thing too, the other people really aren't thinking about what size you are. If they are, they are there for the wrong reasons, but I can guarantee you that probably every one of them is not paying attention and if…

I too use my heart rate monitor. I got the Polar watch with the chest strap, which is a little on the expensive side and I don't think I will go that expensive for another next time. It keeps good track of my heart rate though and when I begin my weights, I just start my heart rate monitor and it will show me how high my…

Wow, you look awesome!!! Congratulations to you!

Wow!!! Amazing! I wish I could do as well as you have. I am an emotional eater also and can't stand it. Good job!!

Wow, great job!!! You look great. I have only been able to lose 10 lb so far and have at least 22 to go. I get really discouraged when I don't see the loss and then end up eating like I shouldn't :(

I don't know, if it were me, I think I would just check with the dr and see what he/she thinks. Maybe you could even be slightly anemic, neck out of place, or just a variety of things it could be I think. Since you never get headaches and you mention blurred vision and tunnel vision, I think it a safe thing to at least get…

I love anything by Kristin Hannah but have heard a lot about the book "The Help" and that many people have enjoyed it. I have my Kindle and LOVE it!!!!

Yes, you can! I started 165 and have only lost 10 lbs but we will do this right!

Like you, I never know if I am eating the right amount either. I have mine set at 1,200 also and started at 165 and have only lost 10 lbs and even that fluxuates daily it seems. I am very fatigued also. The whole calorie thing is very confusing to me also as I told my daughter that many of the "skinny" people I know don't…

I am like you in that I work out, etc and the weight just doesn't come off fast enough. I see where people say "You are not eating enough calories" and that is so confusing to me because I see these very thin people at the medical clinic I work at, some of who are even anorexic and they are not eating many calories and are…

I am so like you Gypsyrose! I do the same thing. I had suffered years ago with bulemia. I went to counseling and when she told me to start keeping a food log and also logging my emotions, I quit counseling. I think I just didn't want to have to face what caused me to do this harmful thing.

Oh, I am very much an emotional eater. What is so sad is I eat whether happy or sad emotions. Can't stand it! I wish I weren't and not sure how to conquer it exactly. Maybe counseling? But, that takes money and time that I can't take off work. If anyone has the secret formula for conquering it, please tell me.

I started at 165 and have only lost 10 lbs so far so like you, anxious to lose this weight. I want to get to 135. I will add you as a friend if you like. I too have wondered how they add the goal bar???? I have no idea. We will keep plugging in here together and we can do this :)

Wow, that is awesome!!!! I am very impressed and hope to do as well. Congrats to you.

I have lost but not as quickly as I want :( I know they say that we are gaining muscle and it weighs more than fat when we use weights. I can sure understand how you are feeling. We will keep hanging in here and working together to lose this stuff.

How do you get that weight loss monitor that shows your weight loss to show up on here like that? I am new at using the website and have just been getting on via my phone.

WOW!!!! That is amazing and gives me hope. Good for you and you look gorgeous!!!

Hi there. I have quite a bit to go; about 20 lbs but this has been a great site for me to keep track of my calories. Have a great day :smile:
