Me too! I have about another 5-10 lbs to go, though.

I think my Dad would be exceptionally thrilled if I did this, too. More realistically, though, I'd like to get rid of more of this belly fat or at least get it to the point where I don't have enough of it to jiggle when I walk. This is what I feel like I look like now:

I was born and raised in Park Falls, Wisconsin, USA and now live in Marshfield, Wisconsin. Nothing too exciting.

Single lady here!

I am having the same problem and can't figure it out, either.

Mine too. Yuck!

I'm 115 at 5'2. I've been wondering that same thing about myself! At 97 lbs, you don't have anything to worry about as far as fat goes.

You look wonderful! Way to go!

Absolutely! my username is karen_ertl.

Welcome to the club. I've had this same problem.

You got that right! More cowbell!

Congrats!

Feel free to add me! If I'm not in a major hurry, I like to comment on my friend's updates. I really should get more into that because I'm sure people enjoy all the motivation they can get!

Ugh. I'm sorry for both of you. That must have beem horrible for you!

At my heaviest, I was 135 lbs. What opened my eyes was that one of my coworkers was trying to convince everyone else at work that I'm pregnant, even though I've never been pregnant before in my life and he knows it. I told him several times that I'm not pregnant and that none of what he was saying is true and after about 2…

I don't know. I think you look great in your pic.

Same here. I'd much rather be alone than with a jerk. One of my neighbors has acted like a jerk to me before (I'm thinking it was his way of trying to get me into bed) and then was completely confused as to why I was never interested in him.

Ugh. The risks of swallowing a tapeworm outweigh any benefit. I think I'll stick to exercise and trying to diet. EDIT: This is pretty much my reaction while reading that article.

Food is too delicious for me to always stick to 1200 calories no matter how I try. Some days I can, but other days I can dream on. It really depends on how hungry I am each day. I don't see the point in starving myself to death or of eating until I feel like I could explode and can't stand up under my own weight.

All I have is an exercise bike in my living room. I consider my living room to be my exercise room.

I'm in. I should figure out how many hours I've worked out so far this month so I know how many more hours to complete. I got an hour and a half of walking in today!

If it's available, I like to look at how many calories, how much fat, and all the other things listed on the nutrition label. Then I come to the same conclusion you do in that it would probably be too much work to burn all that junk off. With my luck, all the bad stuff would go to areas I would love to slim down!

Woo hoo! I'm not the only Packers fan here and yes, they need to do the opposite of everything in that game against Arizona.

Green Bay Packers (yes, yes. I am completely aware they lost their first game) and Wisconsin Badgers fan here!

Absolutely! I'd love to join!

I faithfully have been getting my period since I turned 13 and I'm 27 now. With as sick as I sometimes feel while I'm on my period, I'd be happy if I no longer got it! When I was 13, I'd get so sick on my period that I'd have to miss school and was put on birth control to try to fix it. That kind of helped even though I…

Feel free to add me. I'm only a little over a pound away from meeting my goal but am thinking of losing another 5-10 pounds to get some more of the fat off my belly and thighs.

I have to admit, I am curious.

This is the first thing I thought of.

Absolutely! Keep your dedication and will to do this and you'll get that weight off!
