My issue is not Sensa -- you are seriously working out 4-5X a day? What in the world are you doing?:noway:

A big old t-shirt to sleep in. "Um, honey, I've been sleeping in teddies for three years every night now." HUH?:smile:

Now our girls are 11, 13 & 15, it's a lot harder. I am to spend the same amount instead of getting the same number. One is getting a BIG present and the other two a bunch of smaller ones. It's really hard, but I'm also trying to teach them that this is about Jesus' birth and not just about STUFF. Which is not easy to…

Well, I guess I am doing planks in the new year! :smile:

Phone: no! Buddy: keep talking but keep it down, please. And be aware, you are not the only one there!:smile:

Great job! Congrats!:smile:

Congrats & hooray for you! Great job!:smile:

The only question is, do YOU want to lose weight? Do YOU feel good, like how you look, feel confident in your own skin? The answers to these questions start and end with YOU. Good luck to you!:smile:

Ellicott City, MD, USA -- close to Baltimore (proper pronunciation: Baw-tah-mer) -- 48 degrees and sunny now, but heading towards a rainy afternoon. I love having global friends! Thanks for asking. :smile:

I second the niner dude. Good luck, I know it can be rough, but hang in there it's worth it!:smile:

Don't know about these. I'm getting P90X2 for the New Year -- it's a much bigger commitment, though. Good luck!:smile:

Good grief, girl!! Are you old enough to have seen "When Harry Met Sally"? :laugh: That is YOU! I love eggs and especially dinner for breakfast, so I'm not going to be any help to you. Good luck -- and do NOT skip breakfast!!

Insulin is the "fat storage hormone," so it will make it more difficult. HOWEVER -- the more he exercises, the more intensely he exercises, he *should* be able to cut back on insulin. At least that's how it works with my diabetic husband. I feel for you. It's really rough, and it feels like you're working against your own…

I just don't get it. Why would you want to sabotage somebody you care about? You are so right on this one!:smile:

If you message me, I can give you a bunch of options. I am a Beachbody coach, and we have a TON of workout options. Whatever you do, good luck to you! :smile:

Good grief, you DO need friends!! :happy: Feel free to add me & welcome (back?).:smile:

Oh, nooooo!! I haven't seen those, but I do occasionally see Papa John's ads, which cracks me up & pisses me off, all at the same time!! :noway:

Hi & welcome! I love it here -- it's a very encouraging & inspiring place to be. As for how to do it, I do Beachbody programs and also events. I find that having a program really, really helps me to get focused and stay on track. If you don't want to do a program, an event like a 5K, a sprint triathlon or a duathlon is a…

Congrats & way to go!!:smile:

Well, I guess this one proves I am not computer savvy -- I did not know we had all those options!:laugh:

I did not see those threads yesterday, but I have noticed that at times there are some absolutely hateful things said on here. That, and people post sexual stuff that has no business being on here, in my opinion. This is a place to get fit, not get laid. I've found that 99.5% of the time, this is a very inspiring,…

Well, your heart & lungs, first off, need it. Cardio heads off depression, because it releases endorphins (happy hormones) into your body. It also works to hep reduce blood sugars. You are absolutely RIGHT, exercise unfortunately is a sucky way to fend off obesity, and eating well is the BEST way to do it. However, you…

Well, that cracked me up! Welcome & good job in signing up! Feel free to add me as a friend.:smile:

Well, honestly, my first thought was, "Have ya lost your mind?!" But then again, 10K isn't THAT long. Walk/run it, listen to your body and have FUN! Good luck, you are going to need it!!:noway:

What is your body fat? Are you going for SKINNY? Skinny is not attractive, IMO!:smile:

I floss and brush and usually have a glass of water. I also stay away from the drive-through, which my hubby unfortunately LOVES to do at night -- he only gets diet soda (which I know is awful for you), but it makes ME hungry! Good luck to you!:smile:

Two things that really work for me (although I confess I LOVE veggies anyway!:embarassed: ): veggie fajitas: red peppers, onions, mushrooms, olive oil, vinegar & fajita spices, a bit of refried beans, home-made guacamole, salsa & organic sour cream. Wrap up in a tortilla OR lettuce. Second one: mushrooms, onions, broccoli,…

Oh,and one more thing! One of the BEST ways I've found friends to hang out with is biking. If you are a runner, biker, hiker, etc., there are lots of groups and a lot of people you can find. Some will just be acquaintances, others could truly become friends.

I feel that way sometimes, and I *definitely* feel that it's ALWAYS me that calls, asks people to go out, etc. But I've just found that you have to get over it, and if YOU want to go out, YOU have to initiate. You may or may not find a true friend, that kind of seems like hit or miss, but at least you can try to connect. I…

Way to go!! Happy dance!:drinker:
