It seems most of us would love to get rid of the arms and stomach... especially if you've had children or lost a lot of weight recently. Fortunately, I had a guy friend tell me... no man thinks, "damn, I wish I could find a girl with abs". lol. I take it they don't pay attention to that, so I'm probably going to stop…

Exactly! I had no idea that the "1200" rule was flexible because whenever I went over on calories MFP would make all my numbers red...which signifies something bad to me. On the opposite end, if I went under 1200, MFP gave me a superficial warning. So I figured hovering near 1200 was better than increasing calories....even…

You know what.... I was thinking the same thing when I added weight training. Although I felt tight, I also thought it made me look too "strong"... if that makes sense. lol. I don't think it's anything specifically wrong with what we're doing. Part of me thinks it may be the curse of the "curvier figure." Naturally we are…

I'm totally with you girlie! I'm going to Vegas this weekend and I heard their buffets were amazing I think I'm most concerned about drinking than over eating. I'm on the Isagenix 30day system which has been wonders in building lean muscle and cutting visceral fat (fat around your organs) and I'm vegetarian.... but I doubt…

I think we all are. Sounds like you haven't moved on with your life... or became a stalker. :wink: Maybe that "thing" with you showed him exactly what he wants/doesn't want... and the new girl (could've known her in the past) was exactly what he was looking for. Hey... he liked and he put a ring on it. Could be a late…

Well IMO you are GORGEOUS! I'd be glad to have your figure at 50!!! Fast walking is great too... The only thing you probably want to do is resistance/weight training. I can't BEGIN to emphasize how wonderful this is for toning curves! I'm totally redundant I know... but squats, leg lifts, and lunges, are great low impact…

:laugh: You had me BOL at work with the Ezekiel bread!

I know it's cliche but too much of anything (sweet potatoes and laughing cow cheese included...even too much water) could be bad for you. The problem with Americans - myself as well - is PORTION CONTROL! We eat in one meal what most countries eat all day. But I totally get what the OP is saying... neat twist on a classic…

If I was a dude... I'd play with my "junk" nonstop. Like walking thru the house doing regular stuff... :devil: idk... it just looks like it's a fun toy. :blushing:

Shelly, Awesome job on your weightloss so far! :happy:

lmmfao!

HA! Ok! And we could harness the power of human energy! I'm slightly jealous (and disturbed)...your cat must be quite sensitive. I consider myself easily aroused... but when I'm in the gym (even surrounded by tons of eye candy) my libido goes on pause. :noway:

Well if my FIrst Lady does it... I need to check it out! I love her figure :love:

It will absolutely do both! Not only are you getting in an excellent cardio (like walking up flights of stairs), but you are building lean muscle which will burn fat even after you quit working out. You still want to make sure your net calories are within a range that will help you lose weight, but sounds like you have the…

1) Isagenix Isalean Shake (vanilla) and everything else included in the 30-day cleanse 2) Baby Spinach Salad w/ 2 Hawaiin rolls and homemade blue cheese dressing 3) Cheese grits

dimples! I love dimples! :love:

OMG! All of you sound like you're in my head! I don't want to be below 143, but I'm thinking I may need to raise that to 150 because even after losing 4 lbs. I'm scared that I may continue to drop! Like one of you said: NO MUFFIN TOP! Hey I should make that a topic! :love:

5 months -__-

I totally want to do boxing!!! I know that works your entire body. Between my spending habits and my son's sports addiction...I wish I could afford a personal trainer. Matter fact, wish I could afford a dietician/cook to prepare my food for me 3x a week. lol :tongue:

I just started a group "Fit and Full" just for curvy girls. Cause not everyone wants to be stick thin :happy:

Sexy and he knows it!

Welcome and THANK YOU for joining. Glad to know I'm not the only and you certainly are not alone. Losing weight is great if that's someone's goal, but sometimes you just want to keep what you have...and stay there. Like you, I wouldn't mind losing 10 lbs. Not really looking to fit a certain clothes size... I just want to…

Toner (n.) may be for copiers... but "toning" (present participle of the verb "tone") means to "give greater strength or firmness to" a specific body part. So yeah...the world obviously doesn't revolve around your personal preferences. But I can assume the "somebody" you were referring to must be yourself.

Most of Beyonce...she definitely knows how to move. Best Thing I Never Had and Run The WOrld (Girls) are the BEST!... on repeat. lol. After that... Your Love - The Outfield Scream & Shout - Brittney Spears & Will.I.Am (although it's getting old now) I Knew you were Trouble - Taylor Swift *giggles* (I can't stand her, but…

YOU may not think so, but people with curves do it all the time. I hate to use Kim K. as an example, but she works out and still maintains her shape, because working out for her isn't about losing weight...it's about toning. Also Buffy the Body and her "Bodynomics" videos shows that as well. I mention these people because…

I agree... you'd be surprised at how much you burn (and sweat) while doing weight/resistance training!! Depends on what your goal is. I do the StairClimber for my cardio because I hate running as well and I didn't want to get "stick thin". You can strengthen the thighs and glutes in amazing ways with this machine! A guy at…

ISAGENIX! I started off looking for a good cleanse and some of my HS friends introduced me to the Isagenix 30 day cleanse. It has been the bomb-dot-com at improving my mood and energy. I don't feel like I'm on a "diet" (because it's not), I'm learning to eat clean and become more conscious of the nutrients I'm getting.…

Super false. Watch em constantly in my head. lol I've never sucked toes

Very well said!!! Growing up in Cali I didn't really "realize" I was black...until I moved to Atlanta. It's hard to explain, but it was definitely a culture shock going from a place where diversity is celebrated (and the norm) to an environment where segregation is so apparent. But I too noticed that within the African…

I'm TOTALLY down! I've been trying to motivate myself to do it (consistently). But since I started the Isagenix 30day Cleanse, this should be a great time! I'll start tomorrow....well later today actually! Day 1... 55 squats right? I want to make sure I'm doing the correct one. After the 30d squat challenge I want to do…
