So late to the party...what did you decide? I'm thinking about this myself. I originally got to my goal weight and still had the fat pad on my and and jiggly arms...

Hey! You can add me. Originally lost 50+ lbs, gained 20 back🥴 so I'm on a missio again lol...

Hi I'm pretty consistent here I guess, except with diary lol...add me

Hey! Glad to meet u.Add me

Hi! Add me.

50 cent In da club

Thanks everyone! Your comments really helped me. I just realized i was quoting and not replying to the quote lol darn phone. We are finding the balance as you do in every relationship.

I do feel like I was taking over for her because I felt like she wasnt trying hard enough. But i also realize i cant do this for her. Im working on being a partner not a coach. I have asked her how she feels and she wanted me to help motivate her, to pish her, which i think was part of the problem. I cant motivate but i…

You are absolutely right! I have been soul searching, still in progress, and i know that this person that i gell in love with is still there. I think ive got cold feet or the 6 year itch or something lol. But i love her and weve been thru alot, and yes, it is worth it, she is worth it. Thanx Maggs!

Thanks for sharing. I feel you on being frustrated and exhausted, but you are right, you can't make someone want to change. They have to do it gor themselves. Things have been going a lot smoother between us the last week. I've been laying off and focusing on my on journey. I feel like she really wants to lose but doesnt…

I have not been drinking enough water. Sodas and sweet tea are my weakness! I usually try to keep it to a couple on the weekends, but its been hard lately. I will get there. Glad to see you had a good day. I did lose 2 of the 3 lbs I gained on vacation, so thats a win. Its just so frustrating when you see your goal in…

Hi! Just came back from vacay and I'm struggling with getting my eating back on track. I really lack motivation because I busted my butt prior to vacay and lost 2.8 when I wanted 5. I know, a loss is a loss. I weight train (light weights right now) 3 times a week and cardio probably 5 times acweek right now. Honestly, I'm…

Check out doyogawithme.com. It has all types and skill levels of free classes.

In my experience, it's better to switch it up now and then. Do the elliptical for maybe 2 weeks or even a month, then change to treadmill. Add some strength in, maybe twice a week and then go to 4 days, then after a while switch it all up again. This keeps your body from getting used to the routine, so it remains…

* people continuously telling you you look good, and asking what you are doing * the "smaller" clothes you bought in the beginning are now ill fitting * your "big hair" looks even bigger * you look at yourself more in the mirror, admiring now instead of being discouraged * noticing you look and feel younger * more fashion…

I agree with mlb; DO NOT weight yourself daily! You will go crazy. I know from experience. I plateaued for about 6 months hovering in the 180s. To break it, I actually upped my cardio, added strength AND upped my calories. I agree with paxbfl, eat your bmr every day. I was scared to up my cals too, but trust me it works.…

Girl, I totally feel you on this. I will kick soda for a while and then I have one and boom, I want one everyday. Beware, if you have one, it worsens the cravings at least in my case. I say have one, but really exercise your willpower if you don't want to start drinking them everyday. Right now I've stopped again for the…

This weekend is my gf's and I's (sounds weird) 4th anniversary. It's been rough getting here so we're getting away to a lake resort and rekindling...I can't wait! Although, Spain sounds pretty darn nice! Maybe next...decade lol!

I'm still stuck on this^^^. It amazes me that people still think that if you speak properly or use grammar correctly that you must be something other than black. But ok, all labels should be done away with promptly. I've never been to Africa nor do I know any decedent of mine who has. My great great grandmother was…

Thanks everyone for you advice and support. We have decided to work through this and I think we both understand that we have a lot of work to do and where we went wrong. Her main concerns are for me to be happy and for our family. I have been very selfish; i admit that. My doubts did not help either; i know this. What we…

Hi! It is going to be what you make of it. This site is great, but you will have to do the work. Ease into it, eat less and exercise. DO NOT remove everything you love from your diet. This will sabotage you later. Gradually adopt a healthy lifestyle, not a diet. You can do this. Feel free to add! edited to say LOG…

I definitely agree with you about communication and things we don't want to hear. I have also tried to stress this to my partner. But I have to say that it has been very hard for me to be receptive to her when she does try to express her feelings. Thus, where we are now. I know that this is a beginning and an ending, and…

Thanks for responding. I'm trying to wrap my mind around the concept of positive thoughts bringing positive results. I tend to overthink everything, and from a negative perspective, at that. I do believe that our thought pattern can greatly influence outcomes, mainly because it influences how we feel about those outcomes.…

Jessie J- Who you are

Yes, yes, yes, the fatty foods for me, too. That is what I struggle with most, and with the fatty foods, in my case, high sodium intake, goes hand in hand. I'm not a sweets person, but I do go over in my sugars almost every day. I eat fruits, yogurt and granola bars. I,ve read not to worry so much about the sugars from…

I have had problems in the past with dating sites and just dating in general. There are NO gay or lesbian establishments in my area, so no chance there. I "look" straight so I was almost never approached by anyone. My profiles, I felt, were honest but rarely attracted anyone. I don't think its about looks either so maybe…
