Hey! I have an almost four year old, am a single parent and work full-time. I use my lunch hour just about every day to either go for a run outside when it's warm, or drive the 4 minutes to the gym and get an intense 30 min workout in. It's tough. I also will bring my son to the gym with me where he can play while I…

I do this, too! I stick to even numbers. I wonder why we do it?

Guilt is pretty ingrained into how I think about food, and it's unhealthy. It drives my partner nuts, too. I have gotten better about it, and usually just feel guilty when I know what I'm doing is unhealthy and putting me over on calories. Most of the time it's with alcohol. But that's a whole other issue.... So. You are…

Im' right there with you! Got a full day ahead and no motivation to do anything at all. If someone else hadn't taken vacation today, my butt would be home like all the other sane people out there :) We can do it though!

Agreed. Obviously someone without kids. I discipline my 3 1/2 year old for bad behavior, I do not give him everything he wants, especially when he whines for it. However, he still thows tantrums in stores and I deal with it the best I can. Sounds like the dad had his hands full with his son.

If you are really that hungry at night, your body needs a little more food. Your diary is private and so is your profile, so I don't know what kind of info will help you best. Good luck, sweetie!

Big bump

You know, two/ two and a half years is going to go by (Lord willing) no matter if you are losing weight, or if you are gaining weight or staying the same. So, why not let the next two years pass while living a healthier life and making good choices? You're right - two years does seem like a long time. But, it's going to go…

Oye, yes I do! My pilates instructor has us do it twice a week, a minute 1/2 each time. It's brutal but works the core muscles and tightens everything right up. :) It's a simple move that does a lot for the body.

Bump. Will try!

I found my gf on a dating site actually. Had to go through one awkward date, then one short term relationship and then found her. We've been together two years now. Talking to hot girls can be amazing when there's a connection between both people. It's just about the connection between you and another person. And don't…

I prefer the elliptical and arc to a treadmill. Like someone else said, there's less impact and you burn more. However, I do have my own cheap treadmill at home and am thankful for it when it's too gross to run outside and I'm too lazy to get dressed and go to the gym. :) Anything is better than nothing at all.

My gf and I fart around each other, all the time! But when we first started dating, she wouldn't ever fart around me to the point where she would have really bad stomach aches lol. I had to pressure her to do it around me, because hell, I couldn't hold it in like she could!!!! Now after two years together, I kinda wish we…

Big Bump =D

WOW!! You look SO great! Good job and thanks for showing everyone what's possible! You are doing great!

I'm in the same boat as the OP. I have a picky 3 1/2 year old boy. I have found recipes off allrecipes.com that he'll eat, like the whole wheat bran muffins. He went through a stage where he'd eat carrots like candy, and now he doesn't want any because he doesn't like em now. Eh. I know how frustrating it can be. I hope…

I used to go 3 times a day and now I am lucky to go once/ day!! I don't like it! Even taking a fiber laxative daily isn't helping me yet. :/ Dumb.

^Your coworker may have some issues that you don't know about. Not to assume, but she may have an eating disorder and may not keep all the cals in her body that she consumes. You just don't know. Especially if she can't last on a treadmill for more than a couple minutes...Plus, who the hell would want to be that out of…

Food/ gas. YAY!

Lyra, did you see the post from another lady on here who did the Jillian Michaels six pack DVD??? Her results after only six weeks was incredible!!!! You have to see the pics! I would do that one if I were you :) I'm still working on 30D shred. Great job completing it!

I loved my first car!!!! It was a cherry red 1980's Mercedes Benz 300D turbo diesel. I called her Cherry Garcia. Because my brother had wrecked her before I got her, I had to use a metal bar in the passenger side door to keep it shut =D The AC didn't work, the defrost didn't work. But it was MINE.

I agree with the gal above here that says you are absolutely meant to be loved. You deserve love and can have love and if you want children, dammmit you can have children. You are a beautiful woman, obviously have a ton to offer and are smart - you even bought a house!!! His anger is not because of you, it's because of…

Hey girl!! Congrats on your success!!!! You do look amazing. Hopefully you know you are more than just a pretty face and sexy woman on the outside and also a good person/ beautiful woman on the inside.

BUMP:drinker: :heart:

Heck yes, I work in a place like that. And when I was pregnant EVERY BODY in my workplace wanted to shove food at the prego girl at the front desk!!! Nowadays I go with everything in moderation and skip a lot of snacks that people put out. It's just what you have to do to be healthy!

I have a history of eating disorder and just a lot of focus on my body, so when I became pregnant I worried about what it was going to do to my body. I DID gain 50 pounds, and yes it took a long time to come off. Almost a year. I fit into some of my pre pregnancy clothes, and others I can't. However, when you have a child,…

The scene in some scary movie I walked into at a neighbors house as a little girl (maybe six years old) of a man being murdered with an axe. I still remember it to this day and don't think as an adult I'd even be able to stomach it. Also, seeing our family cat, my favorite one, hit on the road behind our house.

Hey! I looked at your diary and it really seems like you are not eating nearly enough. I eat way more than you are and I'm a 5'8 150 pound woman! Have you found the calculators that tell you your BMR and all that? You should calculate that before cutting down so much on cals. When I started I thought I had to go to the…

Hmmm, do you have a walmart? I know I know, lots of people hate Walmart. BUT, it's where I buy low carb high fiber tortillas. They're Don Poncho brand. Something like that. They taste good too!

I've been dealing with this since day 1 of my relationship and we're going on 2 years now. It's not fun. I like the posters idea of for every compliment, you you do something sexy for your partner. If he hasn't always been that way, then maybe once you've maintained your weightloss for a while he'll simmer down. Change is…
