hmm i never considered some of these. thanks!

Thanks! I think i'll also try looking up additional stretches

I am trying to make sure I have enough protein but I think I should really try the protein shakes at this point. I was avoiding it because I didnt want to deal with finding one I liked etc and I thought I could just supplement with chicken but I think I should really look into it

No the most contact with professionals are the instructors at my gym classes lol. other then that I do it all myself

I actually find the same thing to be true but the feeling doesnt last for very long! After a few hours I'm feeling achier then before lol. I was in the same mindset though that it was just me working hard

i really never thought it could be something like that but maybe I should go to the doctor and get checked out. Thanks for the feedback!

Yes! I do feel a LOT sexier now but even when I was at my heaviest and was feeling realy down on myself I still did little things for myself so that I could feel good about myself (getting my nails and hair done etc). AND a lot of it has to do with the vibe you give off. If your always depressed etc then thats definitely…

The scale for me is like that really blunt friend. doesnt accept my bull**** and is gonna tell me how it is. I dont think I obssess over the number but it really pushes me to focus when I see a gain or if I'm not losing. i only weigh myself once a week. I was doing it a few times a week lately because of the holidays but…

i tried the online dating thing once. it was POF. honestly it really wasn't that great. I didnt meet anyone on there and the ones that messaged me wanted just oneee thing smh. its hard for me to meet guys too so I would give it another shot. Hopefully I dont end up with crazy stories though!

you look fantastic gwen :) december last year: december this year: Beach Body 2012 has initiated ;) this time next year I'll be exactly where I wanna be :)

aw i love this! since losing weight i have really been loving the curves of my hips! especially in certain dresses :)

honestly i gravitate towards a man who is handsome. ethnicity doesnt really matter. i never seem to be attracted to asians or middle easterns though (although i crossed paths with a few cute ones lol!) see a guy like you is a great example of my taste :blushing:

^ this

had to do it!!! i did 3.5 videos for an 850 calorie burn! cardio, strength and yoga :)

when low on calories i ALWAYS go for a big bowl of seasoned vegetables. i dont know what i would do withiout veggies! theyre so low in calories and a nice hot bowl of veggies with a nice big mug of tea always does the trick for me!!!

oh HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL no!!!!

HA! so THATS why i have no booty!!!!

yup major difference. my mom spanked me if i wanted to act out and really misbehave but there was no one calling me stupid or really abusing me.

That is crazy!!! Where are you from?! Brooklyn is filled with people from the Caribbean so there were no police called on us LOL.

You know what my mom did if I dared throw a tantrum over something like donuts? Spank the crap outta me. Take a wild guess how many tantrums I threw :laugh: Caribbean parents don't play that game at ALL. especially the Jamaicans :bigsmile:

I couldn't have said it ANY better myself.

i hope so!

Thanks guys! I have been trying to talk a few of my close friends into joining MFP (2 in particular) but they reallydont want to count calories. i'm still working ont hem though!! i just love that we are all doing it together. i love seeing my friends healthy!

your dress is totally purple!

lol i have heard that a few times already

LOL i appreciate the honesty. it very potentially does say that but ah well gotta let loose the morals once in a while!

LOL i think i will try to rock it!

thanks i love the pattern!!! sometimes i can completely change my mind on something though so its good to get feedback sometimes haha

it does look short but the dresses on the site i look at always seem like that. theyre never actually bad when i get them though so it should be okay! thanks for your help :)

haha thanks!
