Here here:drinker:

I don't know if you have access to a gym, but on a cardio machines like a treadmill or eliptical, you can burn 500 - 600 or more in an hour depending on how hard you go.

I have had Mirena for about 6 months and I lost all of the weight on my ticker with it in. I think that it has so much more to do with how hard you work and what you eat.

I had my 2nd son in June 2010 and had Mirena put in August 2010 and have had it since then. I started my weight loss process August 4, 2010 and I have lost 76lbs so far and had Mirena the whole time. I think a lot of it depends on how hard you work. I believe that many birth controls do affect weight, but I also really…

[/quote] Plus, you'll get sick of Chili's eventually. ;) [/quote] We have been sick of Chili's since about 1 month after getting here. When we finally get back to the states, we will probable not eat at Chili's for about 10 years.

:mad: Unfortunately, I live in Japan on a military base and Chili's is the only restaurant we have. I haven't been to Applebees, or any other restaurant in a couple of years. It's either Chili's or eat at a Japanese restaurant and I hate raw fish.

As simple as this seems, I never thought of it. I usually eat about half of my meals then feel bad because I feel like I am eating too much along with wasting money for not eating all of my food. I will more than like be taking 3/4 of my food to go from now on. Thank for the idea.

These were the people they were addressing. The "average" person. Not true hoarders. Most people would not classify themselves as having major issues with clutter. I am actually enjoying getting rid of my stuff. Less to clean later. :)

I will NOT miss being told I look like I am pregnant again or being asked if I am pregnant again. Also, my husband use to pick me up all the time and he enjoyed it. After 2 kids and gaining 100lbs, I stopped letting him because I didn't want to hurt him. I will not miss that feeling AT ALL.

The only thing that I collect is coffee cups. I am addicted to coffee and I always used that as an excuse to have waaaayy to many coffee cups. This weekend when I was clearing out my kitchen, I realized that I have about 40 coffee cups. I am the only one that drinks coffee in my house. I got rid of several of them. I now…

In the beginning I just changed my thought process on hungry. I knew that I needed to eat less to lose weight. I figured if I was hungry than my body was turning on itself and eating my fat. I was starving for 2 or 3 weeks. Then I wasn't hungry anymore. It seriously took very little food to fill me up. I had to try to get…

Oh my goodness! "Take it to the next level" We watched American Idol last season and Kara Diaguargi (sp?) Said that or a variation to every contestant!! She probably said it 5 or 6 times a show. "You really need to take it to another level" It really could have been a drinking game.

I think it depends on what you do when you exercise, also body type and what not. If someone drops a significant amount of weight, I would imagine they lose some from everywhere.

I am 30 and also 5'7'. You are almost in an identical position as I was/am in. I started at 251lbs and I am currently at 178. I started August 4, 2010 with this journey. I have faith you can do it. Once I made my mind up this time, I haven't looked back. My goal is to get to 150lbs and then I will see how I feel and go…

My family is actually quite healthy, I was simply trying to make the point that I am the only one in my house that is struggling with weight. My kids eat healthier than I do, meaning they like a lot of vegetables that I don't have a taste for. Also, I don't exactly keep my house stocked with candy and bad food. But we do…

"I think you are misunderstanding the sentiment that most people are trying to get across when they say this. It isn't "anything I can do, you can do." It is specific to their situation. So when I say to someone (as I have said to people on here) "If I can do it, so can you," what I really mean is: "If I, a woman who has…

I don't add any season that sprinkles(garlic powder, chopped basil...). If it pours(Mayo, ketchup...), I add it.

I have heard that too. People can be jerks. If I heard that today, I would say, "you would be so much nicer if you would shut up!"

This is the funniest thing I have read in a long time!!!:laugh: :laugh:

I agree with you 100%!!!! When ever anyone says, can I be honest with you? I always say, no, please don't. Also, I tell my husband all the time that i hate it when people try to use college words to sound smart. You don't sound smart. You sound like you are trying to be something you aren't, and that usually makes you…

I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT WRITING A POST LIKE THIS!!!! I struggle with temptation as well. It is very common advice to get the temtation out of your house. Well, I can't really. I have a husband and 2 sons and it isn't exactly fair for me to get rid of all of the sweets just because I struggle with temptation. My husband…

I know that it is almost always used in an encouraging fasion. But, I always think of diet pill commercials that show professional trainers that try to look sympathtic and smile and say, If I can do this, anyone can! Then, they show their before picture where it is OBVIOUSLY computer generated to make them look heavy. It…

Great job! I think your poses are funny, in a good way! Like you have a sense of humor. Keep up the good work!

That article was very funny!

Thank you for this.

I am doing this for me this time, but my motivation is my boys! I want to be a heathly example for them how to live healthy and active.

I have to say that I truly believe that the reason my diet is working for me this time is because I allow myself to have sweets. (just in moderation) If I have a good day, I have something sweet. Only now I have one something instead of 8 somethings. I really really enjoy Swiss Miss Sensible Sweet hot chocolate. It is a…

Tommy Lee Jones is Hot!!:love: Even as an older man!

June 3, 2010: gave birth and weighed 251lbs November 19 2010, Broke 200lbs and weighed in at 199lbs!!!!!!! January 12, 2011: Weigh in at 178lbs :happy: June 3, 2011: Going to be at least 150 (maybe lower)! Keep posted!

I am not questioning why people are confused. (I was one of them too) I am wondering if there is something that can be done to help with the confusion. Like a disclaimer while people start their profiles.
