+2 and yes I have this problem on my legs too... my ankles and knees are full of nicks where I've shaved skin off of bony prominences. I've got the deep underarms too!!

For your second date... if you haven't already made a decision on where you will go... I'd do some research in preparation. This way when he asks if you have any idea about where you'd like to eat you can say... "I hear the salmon is good at Chilis... how about we go there...?" or something to that effect. If you have…

I personally find maintenance even harder than trying to lose. I think about it this way... when you are on a weight-loss journey you are striving for a particular goal. You can visual yourself how you want to look and with every pound loss there is a bit of excitement, a boost to keep going. Progress is motivating.…

5'6.5" ... started at 140 and as of today I'm 122! I'm very small framed though, my fingers overlap around my wrists...

burned mine already... all 600... just this afternoon before heading in to work my second consecutive night shift!

I paid my little brother to take a crap in a paper bag. I then got him and his friend to drop the bag of poop at the front door of a girl that was mean to me... ring the doorbell... and run...

YUMMMMMM.... so trying this... thanks so much!

Only on special occasions. I've had about 5 such days in the last 6 months. I still log all the calories though...

THANK YOU!!! You seriously rock. That's all.

yes.... and ninerbuff you have my support too!

Shave it!

LOVE the stepmill... there is no better burn IMO. I make that machine my beeyotch most every day of the week. I did 60 min of intervals on there today! ;)

Well thanks!!! A figure competition is one of my goals for next year ;) I love weight training... I say go big or go home!

So so true. I actually don't use any dumb bells less than 17.5lbs... and that's for lateral raises. If you aren't going to kill it at the gym... why waste your time going!!! I believe some people actually don't think it has to be challenging to be effective and yes, you are right, they are fooling themselves!

I gained 30lbs with #1 and 25lbs with #2... worked out like an athlete during both pregnancies... still took 9-10 months to get back down to my pre-preg weight.

Ditto.

Yeah I can barely walk in them myself... There was an older woman in Zumba wearing a calf-length button-down skirt and a blouse... like she just came from the store or something???? I'm thinking... why would she want to come and sweat in that?? She at least had on some Keds...

Mmmmmm. Bump!

Yes!

Spinach and mushroom flat-out pizza with laughing cow cheese is one of my favorite meals!

^ this ^ I was actually an 8/10 when I started at MFP. That size didn't go well with my frame. When I was heavier I carried most of my weight in my thighs but my skinny little calves and very narrow ankles gave my legs a drumstick appearance that just wasn't flattering. Now that my legs are slender they look more…

^^^this! great idea!

Girl, forget her. What does her opinion matter anyway? The only thing that matters is how YOU feel about yourself. Does she think women should be "soft, thin and doughy" because that's how SHE is? I'm a muscle-y girl myself and I've been called a lot of things but masculine is not one of them!

Bumpity bump!

Well we met at the gym in college... but I technically already knew him because he was a student in my mom's 3rd grade class and friends with my little brother when they were kids. When I met him in college I had no idea who he was until my brother came with me to the gym one morning. They shook hands and acted like they…

I've been an RN for 10 years. My suggestion as a new grad... be completely honest in saying that you know there will be lots to learn but you are ready for the challenge. One thing that used to annoy me about new grads is that some of them were at bit cocky... they'd walk in as if they knew everything already making them…

I got no problem being naked in front of the Mr.... none at all. I have to watch when I choose to do it though because the man can't keep his hands off of me. :tongue: If I so much as flash a boob I'll likely be chased around the house... and sometimes pinned down... which is all good unless the timing just ain't…

same here...
