Anybody who has kids on here knows exactly how much weight they have ever lifted-- my oldest kid got too heavy for me to lift at about 55-60 lbs... THat is as much as I have ever lifted... and my best mile was a 7:28, when I was in high school-- which weare having our 20 year reunion this summer, so yup, I'm 38, 3 kids,…

My thighs get bigger when I am fit and running-- if you dont want to bulk up-- dont do exercises that build muscle mass...

No creeps for me either-- I'm ok with that!

My running coach (who has completed multiple Iron Man races within the alloted time) has never told me to take a week off after a race... I was told to take a shorter "recovery run" the day after a race, and then resume my normal training schedule... That being said-- I'm agreeing with Carson that your conditioning for a…

There have a title boxing club in my city, and they offer kickboxing classes (or something) you get a first class trial for free! I would love to try it just to see if I like it--its supposed to burn a TON of calories. It sounds like fun too.

Sunbutter has a TON of calories too-- I like it, but it bumped me up WAY over my calories, so for now it's off my list-- good luck to you! Walnuts are good too-- and then there is always meatloaf...

Warrior Dash the end of April!

Yeah-- my ex mother in law used to like it when I carrieda little extra weight too... especially in my hips... go figure?

Long hair makes you look thinner-- I don't know about a color though...

Another note-- even if you are not losing, your body is still getting the benefit of the exercise-- your cardiovascular system will still be healthier-- don't give up!

Yup-- hair dye, wrinkles, I just figured I was the only 38 year old that still gets pimples... I feel so much better to know I'm not the only one!

I think every once in a while its ok-- obviously you don't want to eat that everyday, but for a treat, and to avoid depriving yourself, give yourself a treat now and then.

It looks truly yummy to me! Lean meat, low fat cheese? Whole corn, not processed? Bring it on!

It is manly to sport a little bit or chest hair-- if he can grow it,and for those who shave-- I don't enjoy cuddling with sandpaper... I'm not saying i like the Austin Powers "spy who shagged me" look, but I like a little bit, and it totally beats stubble!

My sister and i have found that we are a little sensitive to monistat (her more than myself-- it burns her something terrible) so we use gynelotrimin instead-- I like it better. However,that being said-- if it isnt getting better, or if you are with a new partner, or not in a monogamous relationship, it may be prudent to…

I only work out at home-- I have a young son, and dont really enjoy other people watching me workout... I have a treadmill (im a runner) and just bought some jillian michaels 6 weeks 6 pack dvd-- since my dr told me I need to build up my abs to support my back-- I was recently diagnosed with sciatica, and she thinks it…

I generally eat back some, but not all of the calories I burn when I workout-- working out makes me hungry!

workout

I was thinking that too... A guy on another message board says his watch fits looser after some weight loss...

Personal trainer

Im in that boat too-- I dont live alone, so the junk food is there I eat carrot chips for a healthy sweet snack, and popcorn for a more salty snack (I crave them both)... the only other thing to do is measure them out, or once,I hid themin my kids room-- out of sight, out of mind...

Nobody has ever told me my c section scar was sexy either... My tummy just looks like a mangled up mess to me-- and my fat bulges out over it... I HATE it!!!

Me too! I'm usually hungray after I work out, but I feel like I can put some back in--or even give myself a treat-- a friend and I once agreed-- I work out so I can eat chocolate!

I eat caramel rice cakes-- the cakes are 50 calories a cake,or you can get caramel rice cake crisps-- they are 60 calories for 8 crisps...

Yeah-- im looking to lose 15lbs... everything says my BMI is in a good range, but I want to flatten my tummy... hard to lose when everything says you are in a good place... I'm 5'2" and weigh 125-- cant workout right now due to being diagnosed with sciatica... I'm feeling WAY discouraged because my calories are all coming…

I'm in agreement with some othere people here-- the people who are notwatching what they eat will someday be overweight if they are not already-- bet THEY are jealous of your weight loss and willpower... Enjoy your cheat day with your hubby, and remember that you are enjoying your thinner body-- way to go!

If you want to reach or exceed the 1200 goal, justeat a nestle brownie cookie bar-- it did it for me! lol
