It first started when I went back to school. I worked full time and travled to go to class so I was always on the go. When you are on the go its so much easier to grab food from McDonalds and a candy bar and another candy bar from the snack machine. Well I packed on the pounds. After school was done I lost weight. Then I…

CPR is very important to learn along with early access to an AED. I take my oldest with me each year when I recert for CPR. He is not given the card but at least he has the general knowledge. I do wish more places had trained personel. It is not just elderly people in a medical setting that collapse. It is kids at sporting…

Hi my name is Mandy also!! I log in daily feel free to add me.

Thanks I will have to look at that one.

No Im too young for knee replacement surgery. Its bone grafting with a partial open knee. I would have to be non weight bearing for at least 3 months With a small child and my job its not an option

I might still have my tae bo on VHS. I loved that workout.

thanks I will def look up t tapp.

Where do you get Turbo Jam or the Chalean one? I would Ideally want something that pushes me. But easy on the joints. I have the mind frame if Im not sweating its not working.

With Kettleballs do you need a class or is it something that you can do on your own? The only gym in this town is just a gym no classes just a small selection of workout equipment.

Im kind of scared to ask my Dr since the last conversation we had was I need surgery. The type of surgery is not an option at this moment in my life.

I would love to get one but we are lacking room to put one

I am also an emotional eater so I feel your pain there. But just remember that if you do overeat today, that tomorrow is a new day.

feel free to add me. I am on herer every day.

Its a shame that skinny people are made fun of just as much as heavy people. I just wish people were not so judgemental. You are skinny and want to loose weight you have an eating disorder s No one sees it as just trying to make lifestyle choices to be healthy fit toned or a better you.

since Im not diabetic I will gladly skip it.

I know that vinegar is awesome. I use it to clean, softner in laundry, soak my tired aching feeties and a mask for my hair. It works awesome for that stuff.

The thought of ingesting it not in dressinging form made me cringe.

Thanks. That answers my question. I didnt know what the purpose was. I figured what ever it did had to be far fetched. I just didnt want to leave it out if it actually had some important nutritional value

I just did not know if there was reasoning behind it? I can not imagine people actually liking the taste of it? Im not sold on it. Just wanted to make sure I wasnt missing something. Most of the ingrediants I understand why they are in there. Just not that apple cider vinegar.

It's not even me bringing it up in conversation. Its everything I eat do what not. When I go out to eat with coworkers they make fun of when I go to the bathroom. (I work in EMS so a food stop means potty break also) For example I go before food Im going in there to take laxitives. I go during or after Im puking. No I do…

Age 33 Height 5'7" heaviest 150lbs lightest 114 lbs CW 134 GW 115lbs Hoping to tone up and loose those last few post baby pounds. (:

always looking to make new supportive friends on here. Thanks :)

Thank you for your reply. I know it is expensive but so is his eating habits of grabbing a snack during break and eating breakfast out every morning. So I'm hoping that with him not doing that anymore it will make up the difference. But I'm also hoping that his body will adjust to eating several small meals per day instead…

He wont. He is looking for the magic pill. He has been on presciption diet pills because of his weight and he gets easily discouraged when he doesnt start loosing right away.I have tried portion control, healthy meals tried getting to exercise and even got consult for lap band. He never wants to do any of that. Im glad he…

Right now with nothing. I do notice if I get somewhat dehydrated my bladder hurts. I used to be on amitriptilyne and Elmiron and never really noticed a difference with them. For my back I try to do alot of lower back streches.

I too have IC. I havent had any problems with it for awhile. I have never meet anyone before that has it also. I also have osteo arthritis in my lower back and right knee. I just try to find exercises that dont bother it.

I have noticed that in my 30s it has been easier to gain weight than to loose it. :(

Im going through the same thing with my husband also. He makes the same must be trying to impress your boyfriend. I find them very hurtful. But then he will turn around and call me cottage cheese butt and hipsalanti. I turn around and tell him thats why I want to loose/tone. But just remember the real reasons you are doing…

Im 5ft 7in I weigh 140lbs. Pre kids I was always 115lbs and after my first 2 kids I was 120lbs. After I turned 30 and had baby number 3 I gained weight and have not been able to kick those post baby pounds. I have now started watching what I eat and exercising 30+ mins a day 5 to 6 days a week. So Im hoping to get back to…
