  • You are truly an inspiration! Congratulations on your success!
  • The instructor makes a huge difference for me. I was lucky. My first instructor was really keen at adjusting the challenge level to the level of her audience. If she saw someone was struggling she would go to them and help them modify their pose. Likewise, if someone was obviously not being challenged she would go to that…
  • We always take our shoes off when entering the home and I do the same when I enter someone else's home. I like being without shoes but I hate stepping on sharp stuff on the floors. Seeing all the dirt and grunge that collects on the tile where our shoes sit, it saves a lot of wear on our floors and cleaning as well. At…
  • I used to consume a lot of artificial sweeteners. I had very frequent headaches, frequent as in daily. I cut out the artificial sweeteners and the headaches stopped. Now fake stuff tastes like chemical soup so it's not tempting at all.
  • When forced to cook it I always used ground and made chili. Enough spice and you can't taste that disgusting gamey flavor. <---not a fan of wild game
  • This. Brilliant parenting! I love the fact that you are willing to offer an alternative to your daughter and her friends. Fantastic!!!
  • Absolutely not. From your description I do not believe this party would provide appropriate adult supervision for my child to attend. Especially if I do not know the parents hosting the party. No. Way. No. Day.
  • I have a BodyMedia Fit Link and absolutely Love IT!!! I've had it since Christmas 2012 and have lost 40 lbs even with an injury that took me out of exercising for 4 months! It's $6.95/ month for the subscription (as others said) and it links to the app on my phone so I can see my calorie burn anywhere, anytime. And their…
  • Been there! And it's the worst! And I've truly enjoyed the opposite...CLOSET SHOPPING!!!!! The best feeling EVER!! I have so many lovely clothes that I'm about to fit back into, just another 10-15 lbs and I'll be there! Can't wait!
  • "It's genetic" "I don't have time" "It's so hard" "I'll start tomorrow" "I would if only {insert lame excuse here}" Overcoming them...pulled my head out of the sand, took a very hard look at myself and really decided I didn't want to live a short, miserable life being unhealthy.
  • I was actually shocked when I noticed mine in the mirror! I've been overweight all my life to one degree or another. And depending upon my posture and how I hold my head, they can really stick out!
  • It helps me because I want to be healthy and live a high quality life as long as possible with my husband. It's also challenging because he doesn't like most veggies and *hates* beans...he eats like an 7 year old. But we work around it and he's totally supportive of the time I spend exercising and such.
  • People that behave that way are small minded, insecure and unhappy to the core. They need to put other people down to lift themselves up. It's honestly so pathetic! You keep it up! You're doing great!
  • My gallbladder was completely filled with stones to the extent that the surgeon had issues easing it out through the small incisions made for the laproscopic procedure. I had to wait three weeks for the surgery to be scheduled. The surgeon instructed me to eat little to no fat at all in that time frame to avoid an attack.…
  • I absolutely love my BodyMedia Fit! Estimating my daily calorie burn was always guesswork and I felt out of control not knowing accurate numbers. With my Fit, I know exactly what I'm burning and when...plus it really helps me analyze the factors impacting my sleep efficiency, which is something I was struggling with. I…
  • I had mine removed laproscopically 20 years ago. Easy surgery, short recovery (1 week) and IMHO way better than taking pharmaceuticals. Because of the function of a healthy gallbladder toward digesting fat, I found sticking to a lower fat diet especially for the first 4-6 months was more comfortable...less indigestion and…
