Oh BLESS YOU! I just turned 40.

26

I can only advise based on my experience with two VERY different pregnancies. With my first, I started out at about 199 and gained 30 pounds. I walked 4 miles a day home from work and ate pretty well with the exception of weekend splurges because I had a HUGE weekness for breakfast food while pg. I did pilates and light…

In this usage "clique" is the accurate spelling. Like I said, my nickname was Daria. :wink:

My nickname was Daria (from Beevis and Butthead). Enough said.

A totally bare chest does nothing for me. I prefer some fuzz.

Pfft. Yeah, me to. Jeez I'm a Debby Downer. Anywhoo, that's why I'm here. I've got to get my groove back. And that starts with feeling good about myself.

We were very much on the same page in the early years.

I was a different person then. After two kids, depression, stressful career and his general lack of affection outside the bedroom it has become this. When I lay down, I just want to sleep, to dream.

For me 2 (with or without marriage being a factor). For my husband I'm sure it's a 10. Clearly a disconnect.

There was a guy on a stationary bike next to me making noises like that! He was huffing and puffing and grunting "ooh yeah, yeah, uh uh!" ON A STATIONARY RECUMBANT BIKE!

I have really wide feet, so I find that the Nike toe box is too narrow. I like Saucony or Asics 'cuz they don't crush my toes.

Just finished Going Clear by Lawrence Wright. Very interesting book about Scientology. And also You're Not Doing it Right by Michael Ian Black. It's sad and hilarious.

Your husband is being manipulative. He is looking for a way to rationalize having a relationship with another woman without technically "cheating". In his mind, as long as you're friends with Sarah and you've had relations with her, then he can't be stepping out....right? Um, wrong. First red flag is that he began the…

Add me too! I've got a solid 80 pounds to lose.

I totally agree that it has less to with lowering expectations, and more to do with a change in what you find attractive or desireable in life. In my 20 I dated a lot. I was very attracted to the guys, but would never consider marrying them. They were fun, unpredictable and all that, but I DIDN'T want to be married. Then,…

It was at the gym after I did my 45 minutes on the elliptical. I guess it could have been all the water i drank, plus wearing workout clothes.............

Sonya, I know you're right about the booze. I've managed to keep it to just a couple on Saturday nights, but I think I'll have to cut it out completely. BTW great job on your loss!

Oh yes, I'm right there with you. I will buy a bottle on the way home from work and demolish it before supper is ready. Then, I'll see what my husband might have around. I stopped drinking on June 1st. So far I had one slip up (a VERY stressful saturday ended in a wine - a - thon).. But otherwise, I'm doing good and…

Wow! Just, WOW. You did an AMAZING job!! Congratulations.
