  • after I had my first son, who will be 30 next week, I wore size 9/10 juniors. I was exactly the same weight I am today. I wear a size 10 woman's. (8 when they are stretchy or I squeeeeeeze into them holding my breath :laugh: ) I have not noticed sizes being any different
  • After researching this type of drug after they gave it to my dog, I was amazed we are not given more info before we choose to take it! Needless to say when my dr offered it to me for my chronic neck pain flare up, I declined and went to PT (luckily it was an option) The fact that it is built up in the system to a certain…
  • I just wanted to say YEAH! for your attitude. The changing words/thoughts in my life are "What CAN I do?" For years I thought I could do nothing. Man was I surprised when I found out I can do SOME things! WOOT! Unfortunately, chronic issues will be here for a long time or forever. We must do something to get healthy,…
  • thank you for reminding me of the simplest, yet most effective, core exercise! (simple getting into position, not DOING them:laugh: ) 2 minutes is a long time!! Great job:flowerforyou:
  • I worked retail in my teens. When I was 17 I worked at a place called Zayres(I am old, so they are all gone LOL) They promoted me from cashier to front desk and I was delighted. Until I realized this was an all new brand of crazies up here. A woman in her 30s approaches the front desk with a red danskin dress.The dress is…
  • :love: amazing! My favorite line is "only do what you know you will do for the rest of your life" Thank you so much for sharing your story. Love ya woman:drinker:
  • We are raised with stereotypical ideas of what is right and wrong. A baby doll feels wrong because of this. I say give him the doll. My son carried a 'purse' (turned out it was Dooney and Borke and I had no idea:blushing: ), clomped around in my mom's high heels and we bought him Hermis, a cabbage patch doll which he…
  • I feel ya! When I first signed up for a trainer at the gym, I was blessed with the BEST one in the world. As I didn't know I would be set up *(:wink: ) when I filled out my questionaire. What goals would you like to achieve blah blah What fears do you have when you work out. I said "The Gorilla Room!" I wouldn't mind…
  • :drinker: This one is true: If you break a cookie in half and *here's the secret* share it with a friend. All the calories fall out in the breaking of said cookie. Works with ALL kinds!:happy: Well it does:angry: :wink: :laugh:
  • There is something to be said about the great benefits of pushing thru and doing something you don't feel like doing.. Especially when it comes to exercise. I'd love to see you go, and come back to say how glad you are you did!!!
  • I agree a spouse should be supportive, but the fact is they usually are not in the same place as you. If you make this journey about you, and only you, it will continue to move forward. I turned each time I chose not to eat what my 3 kids and husband were eating as a victory for me. They could care less if I ate pizza,…
  • Amazingly, my podiatrist and GP BOTH told me to stretch my calfs! I thought they were insane but my foot issues have gotten SO much better since I started doing it more often. Wake up-calf stretch Lunch-calf stretch Break calf stretch Bed-best time for me! I take a yoga belt and stretch my calfs before I fall a sleep…
  • I stopped all artificial sweetners and immediately saw health benefits. I have been on MFP for a long time, call me Granny AWTY and Ive been told for YEARS to quit the tea/sweet and low for a month to see what happens to migraines and all around 'healthy feelings' Honestly, it was less than a week! Of course it took the…
  • Great idea! Push ups can be started on the wall, a step, a stable table or night stand. When this exercise was suggested to me I balked because I knew there was no way I could do pushups! BUT when someone told me the modifications, I was off to the races. Went from 10 wall push ups standing almost straight up, worked down…
  • I am sorry, but inquiring as to whether she is pregnant does not constitute small talk. "The weather is nice" or "Man that beef was cheap" is small talk :wink: ( let me add I learned this at 21 when I was waiting on a table and asked the daughter how far long she was!)
  • OP I am so sorry. Use it as motivation. :flowerforyou: I went to the zoo yesterday. Being my first real outing as a single 51 yr old woman, I was struggling to begin with. After a short conversation about ticket purchase, inwhich I said "I don't like" and "I love" at least four times she says "2 adults?" I froze for a…

  • What strikes me the most is the happiness in your eyes!!! One day I am getting that program where I can edit a picture so I can put the faces side by side. It just makes me feel so happy for your happiness (:tongue: if that makes sense) Good job on all your hard work:flowerforyou:
  • IMHO no. As long as you continue to work out at the same perceived level. How about doing both? You'll keep your work in c25k and add other things. I've seen manynpeoplevquit outdoor running during the winter or super hot month. Good luck!
  • Check MFP jasmine rice plain, your entree pops up
  • See a doctor. If the dr says it is OK for you to run then head to the nearest running shoe store. We have Running Wild here. They will look at your stride and pick out shoes. Mine turned out to be last years style and half price I then picked up C25K program for free on my IPod and proceeded to train. I am learning in…
  • And you're ex is a bald faced liar! He must feel like 'nothing' that's why he had to make you feel that way! Keep rockin the hotness my dear!
  • HURRAY! I remember that feeling. Don't forget to stretch. Great job!
  • If someone said this already, sorry I LOVE eggs with salsa. You can just scramble them up and just before done throw a few teaspoons of you fav brand is salsa. I like some sharp cheddar on top and or sour scream. ( lol kept the typo cuz it's funny :laugh:) I love some of the suggestions. Never thought of egg drop soup!
  • Keep the booze away from that doggie!:laugh:
  • When I went away for work training, I bought Clorox wipes, placing them strategically around the house in hopes someone would use them :tongue: My ex calls me one night "I hate those butt wipes you got. They really sting!" He says. I scream " Gooo wash it off. Did the kids use them? OMG THOSE ARE BLEACH,!":noway: He was…
  • . Ok some serious LMAO here :laugh:
  • :angry: I am mad(if you can't tell) I bought shampoo today. I read the directions. Lather. Rinse. Repeat. NOWHERE did it say close my eyes. That stuff hurt:grumble:
