Your calorie number is good. You can't target fat burn. You just have to keep up the calorie counting, cardio, and weight lifting. Give it time. if you keep going with everything, you will see the results eventually. :)

Dream: singer Actual: Spanish teacher I have a captive audience whenever I feel like singing to an audience, so I pretty much get to do my dream job. I just don't get paid for it with anything but compliments. :)

Lost 51 in the year before starting to date mine. Have gained back 23 of it since March 2011. Blech.

Is this thread a joke? Has to be, no? "I sleep on a mattress on the floor." SERIOUSLY?!?! This can't be real.
-
I agree. The wrists you will definitely get used to. I have sweaty feet myself, but it's all better with a yoga mat (nothing fancy, just the cheapo kind at WalMart). :)

My ex-husband would come into our home gym and bother me when I was working out just to get me pissed so he could laugh and call me "J-Roid" (like I was on steroids and having roid rage...?). He was absolutely unsupportive. But his problem was self-hatred. Had nothing to do with me.

I went to my 10-year after filing for divorce a week and a half before it. I ran into the guy that had taken my virginity our senior year (we hadn't talked since), and we are now dating. Been together for a year and a couple of months. :) He wasn't going to go (same old people doing the same old ****), but his mother made…

Zumba and Running

I wore a heart rate monitor and just added the exercises myself. BUT if that's not an option for you, it is DEFINITELY high-impact. All the jumping around makes it so, I think.
-
I waited and waited, but I did buy a pair or two along the way. Buy at least one new pair that fits you perfectly!! It's a good motivator. :)

Well, It's the 9th, but I think I'll start again today! I completed it two years ago, and I've gained about 20 pounds back over the past couple of years. CW: 155 GW: 135

Bah, I just ate McDonald's for breakfast! Egg mcmuffin and a hash brown. Wasn't really worth it.

Give the higher calories more than just a week to do their magic. Also, I agree that you need to have at least one rest day.

Making copies, writing lesson plans, grading papers... No thanks.

Next time please put a little "Spoiler Alert" notice! :) I haven't had a chance to watch this week's episode yet. Luckily, I only read a sentence or two!! :D

This. Just give the heads up in a better way. In a little over a year, we have never run into my boyfriend's ex, and every time I go out in public looking less than amazing, I worry that it will be the time we meet. I hope that my honey would give me a heads up, but he had better leave it to me to figure out how to present…

Whatever you say. I'll just cross my fingers for her that she never has to find out what it's like to marry someone who isn't what she thought he was... And then end up divorced and out of "chances to be happy."
-
NOOOO!! Don't encourage her... I'd rather she just stop talking. And in her world, people surely don't fart at all. :-/
-
YES!!! I wonder what my abusive, alcoholic ex will tell his future girlfriends, too! Sometimes I think I should warn all women about him!! It sounds like you went through a lot of the same kind of abuse I went through, but luckily I didn't have any children with my ex. And most of the time, I think I'm quite the catch,…

I agree! Tuesdays are usually my most exhausted day, so I would love to take a mental health day on a Tuesday now and then, but then I have meetings that I have to make up if I miss them, so I don't do Tuesdays either.
-
Absolutely. I take mental health days probably more than I should. I only feel bad about it when I know that I don't have enough work for my students to do (I'm a Spanish teacher, and none of our subs teach Spanish, so all my sub plans have to be stuff the kids can do without any help).
-
Oh my. That one hurt my insides. Seemingly innocent and the other person may not even know it offended you, but it sticks.
-
Oh, another recent one!! My boyfriend and I just went on vacation to Florida, and we spent a lot of time with his younger cousins. As we were all sitting on the beach, his 20-year-old male cousin was looking at three girls walking by, and he told my boyfriend, "Nah, they're not my type. They're more YOUR type--they're…

I have one that's a comment and one that's just action and maybe not even about weight, but whatever. First, one of my students asked me for two weeks straight everyday if I was pregnant (I had lost 51 pounds but then put back on 12 pretty slowly). I refused to answer him, and then one day, as he walked into my classroom,…
-
After I did P90X and then ran everyday for 3 months straight, my metabolism was so awesome that it carried me for 6 months! I had to stop working out for various reasons, and I slacked on my calories, and I didn't gain any weight until about 6 months later. I wouldn't worry about gaining weight from eating more. Your BMR…

Any store will do, but try the "Misses" section. It's for senior tweeners like us ("tweeners" are the kids in between childhood and teendom, so we 29/30-year-olds get to be the senior version of that), and that's where I shop now. I can't stand going into the "Women's" section; everything looks like my grandma should wear…

The eyes say it all, I think. Hollow, dull, lifeless...?

130. I went from 185 down to 134, but I'm back up to 150. I don't look terrible, but I know I should be smaller, especially in the middle. I think I was supposed to be a ballerina in this life and screwed it up somewhere. :)
