I am losing again thanks to diligence and weighing my food. After looking through quite a bit of your food diary it does not look like you consistently log all of your food for the days or even the weeks. I speak from the experience of someone who has done this over and over again, where I thought, I'm good at this, I know…

This!

Tact is not something everyone has. Sounds like they were trying to compliment you, but people have a hard time not defining us by our physical being "blonde", "fat", "the chick with the boobs." Rest assured I think you're that AWESOME person at the gym, nice work.

You look fantastic, great job! (Also, can I steal your clothes, I might be able to wear them soon enough!) I like your sense of style!

My childhood physician "You would be such a pretty girl if you lost weight" My dad after I stopped working out for a while in my mid 20's, literally poked me in my stomach, which I flipping hate (he's the reason I have oversensitive touch & space boundary issues) and said "I guess you stopped going to the gym huh."

Just a few ideas, there is a 90 second uncle ben's brown rice and quinao with Garlic that I think tastes great, and it's super easy. You can also use spaghetti squash as a kind of pasta substitute, and it tends to have a bit of a sweet flavor so that's nice, also super easy to cook, cut it in half, remove the seeds, then…

This thread just made my day!! I was really hoping for Firefly when I saw the topic Shiny. Sorry I stink at Gifs, but you guys rock! Thanks!

I just did it today...is this group open to anyone? I couldn't find my weights so I did it without, but man did it kick my bum. Also reminded me that it's time for some new sports bras.

That's a great article...really puts things in perspective, even if you don't apply the message specifically to lifting.

Ben Affleck...insufferable. Keanu Reeves...he really has a career in this?

It sounds like you genuinely want something different than what he is willing to put in. To me that means you two are growing apart, and maybe it's time to end the relationship. You should not have to adjust your expectations to have what you feel is a loving and happy relationship, don't change your standards, change your…

I like to hug certain people, my mom, my step mom, my nieces/nephews, my grammy, but everyone else, it's awkard. I have a very limited personal space bubble and I don't like it invaded. Weird thing is, people seem to want to hug me...maybe it's because I appear squishy & cuddly? That is also the hardest part of pregnancy,…

So since this thread is making me hungry, I found the most AWESOMEST (debateable I know) thing on the side of a box of Jello mix the other day, there is a recipe on the box to make a kind of whipped mousse with cool whip or generic whipped topping, and I imagine it's a heck of a lot better for you than actual frosting and…

Now....if there were a celebrity that I would have to be forced to kiss...meaning they wanted a kiss but I didn't want to relinquish it...Courtney Love....I don't know where her dirty mouth has been...
-
Djimon Hounsou, and it doesn't have to be a kiss...if I could just be near enough to him to touch him...even if I didn't get to touch him. That would be enough.

That is a loaded question, but I'm almost certain the answer to " Are we as people growing more and more accepting of weight problems as the nation as a whole grows heavier? " is an emphatic no. It is up to a manufacturer to determine how their clothes are made, you could go to a dozen different stores by a basic pair of…

The Boondock Saints....most definitely number one The Fifth Element....never gets old, and who the F doesn't love Bruce Willis... Grandma's Boy...Don't judge me monkey.

Sometimes it pays to find a decent/cheap seamstress or tailor in your area. You'd have to shop around most likely but you can have even jeans taken in to fit in the right places (I love watching what not to wear! that's where this info came from). So if you do get a good clearance deal or have clothes that are only a…

Mine are two different sizes, the bigger I am, the bigger they are, and so less noticable. Right now I'm preggo so I'm sporting DD's however lefty is still a little smaller than righty. I would say before I was preggo I was working with a C and a B.5 (lol). sidenote: When I had my left nipple pierced I nicknamed my breasts…

I know you're losing weight, so continuing to shop in plus size stores is sometimes a drag when you shouldn't have to. I can tell you that Lane Bryant tends to run larger in the bust area so you may be able to wear their size 14's or 16's in the boob dept. I have smaller than average breasts for a plus size woman and find…

Buffy Putney Sounds kind of marketable...

From what I understand shorter people can eat less than 1200 calories...however I wouldn't suggest that in your case. You seem to lead a very active lifestyle, coaching involves a lot of movement, and if you're also working out at the gym I suggest you make sure your activity level here is set to the most active possible…

I'm so sorry you had to find a text like that. *big squeezes* I would call the HO-me wrecker and confront her. But I'm an aggressive personality so it's in my nature.

My married surname is Inyagwa...I have gotten cold calls for Mrs. Iguana, I tell them they've got the wrong number I'm Mrs. Gecko. It's actually very phonetic.

My thyroid story is a little different. It was inevitable that I would get the issue as every female on the maternal side of my family, as well as my paternal grandmother had hypoactive thyroid issues. My levels always hovered around 3.0 (which is typically the high end of the acceptable range). I actually lost weight…

Christmas threw-up on my sweater. Don't hate, celebrate...Christmas! I got attacked at a holiday craft fair. The front of this sweater says more than the back.

The best thing I think to do when someone makes ignorant or borderline hurtful comments about your health efforts is to correct them immediately. If you don't they will continue to marginalize your efforts or not understand what you're really doing. I hope things get better the next time you inevitably have to see them.

Avacado--I usually make a kind of psuedo guacamole with it, just cut it in half, take the skin off (usually very easy if it's already ripe enough) take the pit out, and mush it up like you would mashed potatoes, and mix in some of your favorite salsa (I like the mild salsas, not a fan of spicy, and typically the corn and…

Effie, I think you look kind of like Rose McGowen in your profile pic, the chick from the scream movies who dated Marilyn Manson for a while. I can't post pics at work or I would.

I'm at work so I don't have the ability to post pictures, but Djimon Hounsou is scrumdiddlyumptious!
