For me, I think if I take it in the middle of the day the drowsiness I feel from Zoloft doesn't hit me when I eat breakfast and lunch. I just now figured this out that I was eating too much carbs and sugar because my medicine combination was causing me some serious depletion in energy. Now, that I know (from taking it late…

People have the habit of pushing what works for them on others.

I do couch to 5k with my pedometer on my phone. It tells the amount of calories burned. I'm on week 7

Congratulations. And just look at how many people you help just by telling your story. Those hard days helping you inside as well as out. I wish you the best! I know you are an inspiration for me!

Anyone can add me. I think the more friends keep you accountable. Let's help each other.

July 9th ;) Happy birthday (belated) everyone!

My sleep is messed up. I know eating a lot right before you sleep can mess you up. I have PTSD and GERD so I have to watch what I eat before I sleep and take some medicine before I lay down. Do you go to sleep at 6pm because of your schedule or are you just worn out by then? I get most tired in the middle of the day and…

I think I am weird because I haven't found one I don't like something in it. The Islamic prayer music use to make me cringe but after two tours in Iraq I got use to it. I thought I was going to pull my eyes out if I heard anymore Wiggles stuff but my son beat me down and now they aren't so bad.

This picture of me is old because I have no new pics. But, I am mrspinky :)

$250,000 is a lot more than I have right now. I probably would use some towards a house and some just to save or in some interest earning account possibly towards my son's college. I am so glad I joined the military so I have no student loan debt. Honestly, I am fine right now so some would go to other family that may need…

Great job! Keep up the good work. You story is great motivation for those of us who need a kick in the butt. Job well done!

I like Taebo Advance or Taebo Ripped Extreme. You can find these videos on Youtube.

White potatoes can be so many things: potato salad, hash browns, French fries, potato cakes. You can use them as the crust for chicken. I like making potatoes au gratin or scalloped potatoes. You can also change up what you add or how you make your mash potatoes like: adding any type of cheese like cream cheese, use…

Hello. Good job wanting to eat healthy. First, I am no expert but I think I can help. Frozen veggies have been very cheap for me as well has frozen fruit. Canned fish like tuna and salmon can help. I try to get fresh produce in season. Also, if you can make a weekly meal plan and just get only what you need. Oatmeal, not…

I am sorry but my husband met me when I was 150 and in the military with him in which I worked out each day. Today, I weigh 230 and he is my support. If you care for someone you support what they do especially if it is to better themselves. If he cannot be there for you when you need him that sounds like an issue to me. He…

If he is up for walking you guys can go shopping or walking at the park. I was going to suggest swimming like some said or even water aerobics. I been to the class and even though I am the youngest there those people whip my butt. That's so great you want to support your dad. I wish I could with my dad but he lives too far…

My mom is my source for great advice. One statement that sticks with me is, "The world owe's you nothing". In this day in age when people seem to complain about any and everything it just sticks with me on the way she looks at things.

I feel old compared to you guys. Its ok, I was in the Army to pay for school. My name is Nicole and I am 28 working on my Bachelor's degree in Business. I have 4 quarters to go (my school is on 11 week quarters not semesters). I have a goal of about 50 pounds by June but if that doesn't happen I won't freak out. Feel free…

I don't know how true this is when today you can have any hair or hair color you can afford.

My goal is 50 pounds by June but 60 would be awesome for me. You can add me for support if you want.

I don't think it is actual jealousy. He is miserable that he cannot go so he wants you not to go either. People always go to the relationship answer. I think he is just full of it thinking you would hook up with someone and that is just his excuse to guilt you into staying home. He is hurting and want you to be at home…

Christmas is not the happiest time of year for everyone. Some people have had bad holidays, hurtful memories or maybe miss someone who is not longer with us. Some people grow sad about not being able to see family far away. (Like Soldiers in war zones) Try seeing if you can find out whats wrong because some men like to act…

I am only on week 2 but yes there is an app and a website you can visit. I am overweight but I said screw it because I go to do something. Good luck all who tried and can't wait to get to week 8 :)

I think for me the best part of being married is not having to search anymore. Knowing that there was someone actually out there just for me and fell for me as is. We are polar opposites yet we are on the same page about important issues. For one, I cannot say if marriage is right or wrong for anyone else because we define…

I had to cut sugar when I was in basic training because I was out of shape at first. Then, my family took me to a restaurant and I wanted to eat everything. I was sick for a week straight. But that was 7 years ago. I think that you can eat sugar because now people say that sugar substitute has aspartame which is bad for…

I think everyone has their own expectations in a relationship and people should define this before they date. Instead of deciding what you want to do by what other on the internet do, you have to decide what you will or won't tolerate before you get into a relationship with someone. What may work for you and your spouse…

I disagree that cooking isn't exercise unless you do a lot of out of the box stuff. Kneading breads and dough, going around the kitchen lifting pans and pots. I am a professional cook too and done it in the military for 5 years (we cooked for a lot of soldiers). I think getting a Fitbit or a HRM is the way to go.

I think you should not do it. Or really be careful. That is where I went wrong. My son was causing me to be starving. I totally over ate and now I weigh more than at the highest point in my pregnancy. I don't blame him though, just I over did it because this little boy could eat. Good luck!
