I'm six foot even. My highest weight was 272 - about 7 years ago. I have been down to 199 a couple times since then. Currently, I'm at 222. I feel fabulous at 199-205 and am shooting for that again. I know that's higher than the BMI charts recommend, but I feel great and feel like I look great at that weight. I don't see…

I'm thinking that those of you who don't think it's exercise have never done it. I most definitely get a good cardio workout when I play with my kids. It's not the most balanced, perfect form of exercise and won't buff anyone up. But it is most certainly exercise. I exert as much energy playing Just Dance as I do in a…

Having just dated a guy that was emotionally, verbally and physically abused for years by his wife, I have to agree with this. There is nagging and bickering and hormones and all that "normal" marriage stuff. But abuse is abuse. I'm not saying kick her to the curb, but please be aware of how you let yourself be treated.…

Yay! :)

Not sure if you are on Facebook, but there is an awesome page on there called "Baggage Reclaim". I have found SO many helpful truths on there. First rule of a breakup: No contact for 30 days. She also has blogs online, under the same name, I believe. Go check it out. And good luck! :)

Many times. But no poor soul has had the cajunas to actually say that to me. I'm a big girl. I always have been. In my experience, most guys think they deserve a gorgeous, petite bombshell with big tatas. No matter if they're old and balding, gut hanging over their belts or living in their parents' basement. I keep hoping…

That was just in fun. I've been overweight my whole life. I would never make fun of someone else for being in the same boat. I wasn't calling anyone a lardbutt and never would. I said "if" they were. Hey. I'm nearly obese in my BMI and not one to point fingers or call names. It was supposed to be in jest. I admit I'm a…

I "teach" a Zumba class now and then and I'm a good 30 pounds over my goal weight. I also have lost over 40 and kept it off for about 6 years. I live in a teeny town and my class is offered for free through the school district's Adult Education program. There is no one coming to my class that expects to see a stick girl…

After losing around 70 pounds, a coworker was following me down the hall. When I turned around, he mentioned how great I was doing and that he didn't even recognize me from behind anymore. My inner teenager giggled. I've since gained back about 25 and would love to get to admiration from behind again. haha.

Just about anyone north of Texas is going to be Vitamin D deficient. Especially seasonally. We see it ordered a ton in our lab. Everyone is low - just varying degrees. If you live in the northern half of the US, you may as well just take a supplement, in my opinion. I started taking 3,000 units this winter after my ankle…

I find myself in that situation, as well. I really don't plan on ever giving up alcohol. I'm not an alcoholic and I like it, so I shouldn't have to, right? But I do know I let my guard down after a night of drinking and will eat anything not nailed down or rotted green. I try to limit junk in the house, but with three…

Freaking beer. And Cranbrritas. And Caesars. And red wine... The past 2 summers have been brutal for me sticking to my "plan". Long day at work leads to a drink or two and sitting in my lawn chair recliner and the workout never gets done. The weekends are spent back in that recliner, perhaps butt-deep in the lake or at a…

Well, if you're going to go THERE, a healthy shot of VanGogh double espresso vodka is quite divine in the weekend cuppa.

I recently discovered this stuff, as well. It's no full-on Coffemate, but it's a decent substitute at MUCH less calories. The original is my least favorite, but at 10 cal/TBSP ( I use at least 3 TBSP per 2 cup mug of coffee), it's hard to go back. A sweet, creamy mug in the afternoons keeps me from wanting other evil sweet…

I've never been fast. Ever. I think my first 5K was probably around 45 minutes. My best is around 33. Those are probably about 8 years apart. I'm super slow and I've never finished last. Not even close. Not even at a super small race. I finished 2 half marathons at about that same pace and I was middle (2/3 ish) of the…

I tried the "new" version a few days ago and it never did work. There was an option to use the "old" way, so I did that. I think the new format may be easier and have less steps if it ever works?

I've tried it. Researched it vs. Shakeology (as much as you can, without the bias of people selling it) and I found Shake to be a much better product FOR ME. The amount of soy in the Vi was a little worrisome. They both have a place in a healthy diet, I believe. To me, it's better calories and money spent on something…

<3 you, girl!

Aren't drugs weird? I lost 15 almost instantly when I starting taking Zoloft about 3 years ago. I weaned off of it about a year later and it just as quickly came back. I allllmossst considered going back on it again, just to lose the pounds, but I knew it wasn't worth it. I suppose it's just a matter of finding the right…

tic tacs and lettuce. hahaha! Crap! I've been doing this all wrong. Probably need to add in a few Mountain Dews and some NoDoz.

Protein keeps me full longer. Try any sort of egg (hard boiled are handy for work or on the go), a handful of nuts or a luscious tablespoon of peanut butter eaten right out of the jar. I eat cans of tuna for snacks, too. Disgusts my children. haha.

hahaha! I did the same thing, pretty much, with moldy birthday cake last night. Was going to just eat a tiny little sliver. Ended up barfing it back up in the sink and my stomach was wonky til this morning. Awesome way to curb those evening snack urges. Food poisoning rocks!

Oh ****. Wrong box. No wonder they turned me down!
-
I would be happy to claim the title of either of those! I've been known to have a thing for younger dudes, but not as a conquest - I'm just attracted to them. Less baggage and more fun, for the most part.

bon jour!

This. VanGogh Double Espresso vodka with a splash of Cinnamon Vanilla creamer in your coffee. Nearly orgasmic.
-
Love my Zumba! Feel free to add me : )

It's freaking horrible! But, I keep doing it. Have had 2 dates this week. I certainly have not experienced that men msg or communicate more. Most of the time, I feel like if I don't contact someone, it isn't going to happen. It's definitely a love/hate thing for me. You MUST have good self esteem going into it and skin of…

Me too! They're delicious.
