Neat--I just started the green smoothie thing too! Simply Green Smoothies has some great recipes, along with a formula about the best ratio of liquid, fruit, and leafy greens. Typically it's 1 cup greens, 1 cup liquid, and 1.5 cups fruit. http://simplegreensmoothies.com/recipes

Click, when the dad Michael dies. It was just a dream, but still. At least he got the final chance to tell his family how important they were and to flip off the speedo stepdad. :D

I can't believe this post made it to part 3. By the time I got to read the first part, it was already locked. Wowsers. Kudos to her. Wish I could look like her. Won't shame her for looking like that, and think she's pretty good fitspiration. Won't make excuses for not looking like her, or as close to her as I can. Anyone…

I almost cried. This was too funny.

Take care of yourself. A man will respect a woman that has her head on straight and knows her own self. A woman who is dependent on validation from her man is far from attractive and can be seen as clingy. If you need a good reason to take care of yourself that isn't self-centered, think of your children. They are watching…

Perfect visualization. You've basically crossed a football field and only have 3 yds to go. Score that touchdown, girl!!! ETA: You look epic, BTW :happy:

Merlincilla...don't think so. You look like someone to drink with, not beat up.

Seriously, are you sure you're not pregnant? I only lose my period with certain types of birth control, serious changes in lifestyle (for example, I didn't get a single period during basic training, and I've never had one while breastfeeding), or pregnancy. You haven't mentioned birth control and you've confirmed that…

I wish I got a free pass when I was pregnant. My husband refused to tolerate my hormones, and I had to learn to control them in public. The only one who got to hear any of my hormonal responses were my close girl friends. Even my mother-in-law got butt-hurt if I got hormonal in front of her because she thought I was taking…

Yes. Absolutely. So does her father.

Same here. Mine turned 2 1/2 two days ago, and he's got more energy than most of my family combined. Plus I have an 8 1/2 month old. Yeesh.

Perhaps you are more fake than these women are because you hide behind an "au-naturale" mask. They like looking and feeling pretty and don't care who notices. Versus you who feels the need to put herself on a pedestal for not wearing makeup. This may be judgmental, but I'm returning the favor you've bestowed upon these…

Exactly. To each their own. Doesn't concern me if a 20-something is trying to get a date. So long as the guys understand that this 20-something is taken and only wants to work out to keep up with her kids, why does it matter what they spend their gym time doing?

IMO, makeup is a waste of my time unless it's for a sexy or special occasion. I like the way I look in it, but because I have two kids under the age of three, I personally believe I have better things to do with my time. I wouldn't really care if someone else wore makeup to work out, but I definitely don't think that…

I've been called plenty of names in my day; I'd usually shrug them all off. Most of the people who called me names didn't know enough about me. But my stepmother said a lot of mean, hurtful things to me that stuck a little more. Probably the worst one was something like this: "Your mother wanted to die to be rid of you,…

My mother-in-law is a nurse and she is obese. From personal observation, it seems like she thinks that medications will save her, and that means she doesn't have to take personal responsibility for her own health. I kindly try to tell her otherwise and so do her doctors, but she's not a very good listener. :sad:

You win. At life.

No idea what you've had done. My hubby thinks I'll want a breast job (lift/augmentation) after a while, but I'm pretty happy with myself, especially if he's happy with me.

I got pregnant twice within the last three years. I've nursed both of them, and I'm still nursing my youngest. So I have been either pregnant or nursing for three years. I gained a healthy amount of weight for both pregnancies, and while I never really became overweight, when I hit 157 when my second child was 2 months…

Short answer: No. Long answer: If you're trying to do this in a healthy, sustainable way so that you can keep the weight off permanently, and you're not willing to do significant physical harm to yourself, you should look at losing the 18 lbs. over a minimum of 3 months, not 1. Ideally, 1 pound a week of loss is usually…

Cinderella Oak??? Uh, no.

Hello from Malakoff, Texas--completely understand. Ugh. It's actually cooled down the last few days though, meaning the days get up to the 70s and 80s instead of 100+.

Dannon Oikos is good to me, but I've only tried it and Yoplait. When I got Yoplait, the single serve bowls were less than half full. What a ripoff.

Depends on how much you use them. When I was in the military running a few miles every few days, it was recommended to replace them every few months. When I got injured, it was roughly the same because I was walking like crazy, and even worse, my doctor gave me a recommendation that makes me shake my head even today, "If…

Mine has changed since I've had children. My body was comfortable around the 125 range when I was in the military. I was also doing an hour and a half of exercise a day and barely eating anything because I wasn't hungry very often and didn't have a whole lot of time to eat. Now, I seem to be comfortable hanging around 140.…

:laugh:

Touche.:drinker:

The quoting is killing me....
