In the Library, with the candlestick....

Heck yeah, Black Betty, that's my fav song!!!!!!!!!! Boston.........Pitbull, Gap Band-Burn Rubber, Laid Back-White Horse.

OMG....me too!!! Going to see Les Mis on Sat. Dec. 29th.....only 1 hr. 48 min long.....that's Hollywood. I am so excited about the casting. If you are on Facebook I recommend to Like Les Mis...I get almost daily videos, clips, etc. I watched my movie I had on VHS the other nite....it was just a movie....seemed just wrong…

First of all, congrats on the 87 lbs. lost!!! I never have "normal" stories to tell so here is a good one. About 3 yrs. ago, driving home on first Fri. of December. Car in front of me weaving onto grass, then back into lane. I thought drunk driver, so I called 911. They said they would send someone so I offered to hover…

Thanks everyone for your comments. I did eat good that day. I did take breaks when I needed them, but only a little...then just pushed ahead again, worked fine with the other trainer. I just did not know that this different type of working out would lead to such a terrible thing. I left the trainer, fatigued and weak, went…

Point taken, thanks.

Thanks, the trauma is over. And I do tend to be hardheaded and push myself in all that I do. I only have two speeds...fast forward...and stop....LOL.... I did learn something from it and will NEVER do that again to myself. Will give trainer second chance if we can work it out...but maybe not. Will chat with management…

Yes, exactly what you said. I am actually 50% better since this afternoon. Will be a learning experience for all by the time I am done. Might even work out tomorrow! Thanks.

Thanks. The research I did on the internet on hypoglycemia said that the liver and kidneys do whatever they do when you work out too hard, causing like a panic attack with symptoms like I had. I had no clue about this. They should have known and properly diagosed me. This is a failure on their part. I put a call into…

You know he did say to me just do it at your own pace while saying really loud: come on! this is how you build muscle! This is how you burn fat to loose weight! Let's go! Let's go! After 20 min. I did not even look him in the eye, he should have gotten the clue. I kept saying I can't do 10 more seconds......come on, yes…

Thanks for your comments. I did contact the gym management and they will call me back soon. Gonna just tell them all about it. Strangest thing...I researched Hypoglycemia on the internet...seems the liver and kidneys do whatever they do when you work out too much and the symptoms I had were of a low blood sugar attack! I…

Try heat, then ice, then heat, then ice. Maybe muscle relaxers or whatever your doctor recommends. Strained muscle can also cause muscle spasms that make you think the pain is in another spot now....good luck.

When I started "eating healthy" on Oct. 1st...this was my biggest worry...night time starving times....my trainer suggested to buy the low fat, Kettle Korn popcorn, 100 calorie bags. This a very large serving and works like a charm for me!!! Never thought I would have been able to come up with a solution but it worked for…

Love Grace Like Rain!!

The educators need to go back to school, or maybe pull out a dictionary. She is totally normal!! Just like in Colorado, where my sister lives...they are trying out a pilot program on the grading scales...if you get 100% correct the highest grade you can get is a B ! Yes, you read it correctly. They have done away with…

Brown paper packages tied up with string............

The Pizza Hut near my house thinks I either died or moved away. Miss my pizza friend!

Yummy food I don't have to cook! Marshmello creme the smell of new vinyl....don't judge me...LOL Spock Big Texas sky When my boys tell me that they really learned something from me that will help them in life Huge family on Christmas morning mountain top views an inspiring story or poem snow flakes my favorite songs (tons…

I know, I watched my Mom "diet" my whole life. For me I don't call it a "diet". That is a 4 letter word for a reason, I think. To me it seems "restricting". Two weeks ago I had TWO ice cream sandwiches 3x/in a week...and I put it on my food log. My trainer says OMG you had sooo many ice cream sandwiches! And I said "and…

Hi Squeekycat! I sure wish people on here would be a little less blunt with their advice. A person who is a closet Twinky eater is in pain, and you are in pain but with an opposite problem. I really feel for you and your situation. You know you eat too little so we don't need to revisit that. I wish I had something fancy…

Years ago I read a book by Susan Powter : Stop The Insanity! She was a depressed, overweight mom. She got sick and tired of being sick and tired and decided to do something about it...but what? I remember her struggles, how she was hard on helfself, beat herself up. How she was so desperate for motivation and what exercise…

I have been buying chicken tenderloins...2 pcs. is a serving with like 100 cal....I brush "lightly" with Olive Oil on both sides, sprinkle very lightly with McCormick Montreal Chicken seasoning on both sides....put on grill.....yummy smell makes neighbors want to come over for dinner! I make all the pieces in the pack,…

Can't pick just one....like potato chips! Phantom of the Opera Black Snake Moan Moulin Rouge Ladyhawke Enchanted Les Miserables Battleship Rocky Horror Picture Show What a mix...I think I need counseling!!! LOL....please no peanut gallery....

OMG....NOW I remember that SNL skit!!! Those were the best days of SNL....Gilda Radner, Buckwheat (Eddie Murphy) The Church Lady!!!! Steve Martin....

Pat Benetar....Love Is A Battlefield....I might not know too much "yet" about weight loss but I sure know my rock!! LOL....Rita

You just kicked all my excuses out the window!!!! WOW...you look great!!! I KNOW you wil never go back to that "other" person. This person LOVES herself enough to kick her own butt into shape! You are a hero on here for many people. I hope you find all the Kama Sutra you have been wanting.....hold your head high and strut…

Thank you so much for saying that! I lost my gallbladder 6 yrs. ago and almost lost my pancreas and liver. As close as I came to death at that time I did not see it as a life changing time for me. Go figure. But Diabetes...this scares me. The Pizza Hut up the street from me must think I either moved away or died....LOL.…

I am in VA and have been to Houston 12 weeks since Spring 2011. Here are a few of my favorites: Boudreaux's Cajun Kitchen (several locations) Brenners' Steak House $$$----excellent! Pappasito's Cantina for Mexican....yum. They make their nachos on site..yum Cavatore Italian has the best chicken parmasean! I could lick the…

OMG please DON"T DO IT!!! For your own sake, just let it go for now and take some time to show this company what kind of awesome worker you are. Pick a job that nobody wants to do...do it really well with a smile, that kind of thing. I feel really bad for you that you are in this position. I could tell you stories about my…

Tears In Heaven....Eric Clapton....written about his 3 yr.? old son who fell out of NY window. Heartbreaking.
