Same here, I do 2 TBSP of apple cider with "the mother" (whatever that creepy part is) in 8 oz of water with stevia or you can use honey. It is mainly to promote alkalinity in the body which is a much preferred state over being acidic. The vinegar promotes all kinds of good changes for many chronic diseases and yes, it…

Boohyah! I don't get to use that word very often but love it when I can and this is definitely a Boohyah kinda thing! Congrats!

Well I guess I will be the "mature" one on this thread, LOL! 48 on the 16th. I recently did the math and if I live until the average life expectancy for females in the US, I have 12,775 days to spend (give or take for leap years in there). It is very sobering to break down your years into days because for some reason I can…

Ignore him...he's just playing hard to get... LMAO! [/quote] Does the wonderful boyfriend in NJ read your threads on this site?

Oh now that is a good word, assgrabbery! :tongue:

I think the "friend zone" is the only place that something real can catch fire and become something more so don't knock yourself for being put in the friend zone. Once a woman gets over her need to subject herself to the antics of an *kitten* when the dust settles seeing the face of a man in the friend zone is so sweet.

I hear ya. I am in the same boat. I so want to hang on to "DD" girls so when the body is just right then I have the total package, the muscles, the boobs and the brains! The pics are great and such a motivational buzz for everyone well at least for the women. The men might have just seen the word "boobs" in the title and…

I didn't even look at your age when I made that comment...lol..I would definitely be robbing the cradle there. Doesn't the old saying go that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree right???

Do you have a single brother who would love to live at the beach? :P

What is he even doing reading a thread like this given his comments? Oh, I know why. He must be one of those who feels bigger when he can make someone else feel less about themselves. Sad way to live a life.

Booyah!!

For a minute, I thought I was on Tumblr!

You all make a great points...it maybe that I need smaller goals that build faster. I worked out with my trainer on Monday and hit that workout wall of tears and I made it through the workout and felt great when it was over. Today I have been soooo sore that I have had to push, push, push myself to do my workout. I have…

Juicing is not meant to replace meals. Juicing does it work at the cellular level in our bodies. I am working with a personal trainer and asked him about juicing and this is how he explained it. Juicing gives you all those micro nutrients that gets directly into our cells and that is where the magic happens as far as…

Finally, the truth after 8 pages of this thread. We can all call it a night now. ; )

I do believe that Melinda has proven this to be a moot point! Thank you for showing this thread just how hot 50 can look not to mention you at just a few days shy of 40. I think if hot after 40 has a poster couple the two of you are in the running!

Oops hit the reply button to fast...my cut off is going to be 90 and yes, the older I get the better EVERYTHING gets so goes it with the body and the "hotness" factor...I am in catch up mode on the body part ATM...I plan on leaving 'hot' in the dust and just go straight for 'smokin'.

Who says "diamonds" are girl's best friend right? The new bling.... Thank you for being so transparent and real in describing your experience. I am so proud of you!

^5 thank God for Spanx and keeping it real! Glad you have a man in your life who appreciates a real woman. You're a lucky woman.

That is great...not sure which is best a NSV or seeing that number go down but I will take either. I am leaning towards the NSV being a sweeter feel! WTG!!

Transformation = 110 lost! You look like a different person....lose the fat, gain that healthy glow!

Ditto here neither. Was married to a man who was an A and a B both are toxic and will destroy any good stuff there is between two people. If you are an A or a B get help and deal with your issues. If you are on the receiving end of an A or a B type personality don't waste years trying to change them or waiting for them to…

I do not doubt this at all. I have practiced meditation for the past few years and I know how powerful of a tool it is when it comes to mental/emotional healing. Thanks for the information, knowing this will help me lean into the experience the next time I feel those tears coming on.

I sent you a friend request. Hiring a trainer was one of those things that I decided was the equivalent of making an investment in me. I think the returns I will see from being fit and trim will pay for itself many times over. I paid him upfront for 6 months, twice a week and signed a contract stating that I do not get a…

As for the ex's comments, I hope that spurs you on to the point that either one the next time he sees you he realizes what a mistake he made or that two, the next time he sees you he wants to avoid being alone with you because it concerns him that you will kick his *kitten*...or both! Skinny isn't a goal as much as I think…

Wow,thanks to you all for letting me know that these tears can be part of the process. It is one thing to be very out of shape and faced with the challenge of getting into shape but to think that I had some kind of "crazy" going on as well was just about to make me think as much as I want to do this I can't but you have…

You got this!!! Good tears are a good thing and the pictures well they speak for themselves. Keep up the good work!!
