That's exactly the weird outline look I said I was trying to avoid by filling in the lip liner, not just putting it on the edge.

I spent 30 minutes on the treadmill after going a whole week with zero exercise.

Ok, reply or DM me with your e-mail addresses and I'll e-mail everyone in the morning to start us off. :) Mine is trekkiebeth@yahoo.com

Hm, would you guys all want to do a group e-mail?

Cool! I'll send you a DM! :)

I know it's risky to get a new hair style right before a big event, but I'm concerned that I might like how I look with bangs better and I'll regret not cutting them before the wedding. But I guess it would just be taking too much of a chance.

I agree, it would be a bit risky to cut them before my wedding day. I think I might like it better, but I'm reluctant to take the risk. I wouldn't mind looking a bit younger, though. I was only 19 when the pictures of me with bangs were taken (I'm 25 now), so that would also be part of why I look so much younger.

That's really good to know! I actually don't like updos so I'm just going to be wearing my hair down with a fancy looking headband.

I've never cut it boy-cut short, but I cut it above my shoulders once and hated it. But I think it's just my face shape, plus I prefer long hair in general. It totally depends on your face shape, personality, and preference. If you think short hair might be more "you," then you should probably go for it!

Thank you!

Sounds like a good idea to me! I don't have cable so I don't see TV with commercials, but if I did I would definitely try this. I guess I could just do it during whatever I'm watching instead.

Thanks guys! I'll try to do everything I can to get more fit while also trying to not stress over it too much.

Regular exercise makes my cramps less painful (they used to make me curl up and want to die), but it's still bad enough that I don't work out the first day or two of my period. It's day 3 of my period right now and I just got off my stationary bike. My cramps are actually worse now than before I got on. Find what works…

$40 is still too much for me. I guess I could try doing it manually, if I can get past my fear and hatred of having to do math. :P

A HRM is not something I can afford right now. I don't want a cheap $20 one that won't be very reliable, and anything much more than that is too expensive. I asked my husband about it, but he doesn't think we can justify spending the money right now.

I'm 25 and my husband is 40, so he's 15 years older than me. It's by far the most wonderful and healthiest relationship I've ever had. He's the kindest, most loyal and honest guy I know. He's stuck by me through very stressful times due to a medical condition I have. We have a ton in common and get along very well. We…

A former employer of mine asked if my fingers were swollen because they looked like sausages. They weren't swollen. I just have chubby fingers. I have to admit that the comment made me cry even though I was at work. I'm still not sure if he really thought something had happened to my hands to make them look that way.…

I'll be prettier when my face isn't chubby any more. Feeling comfortable in my own skin. Not having to sit with my purse in my lap to cover my fat rolls. Being able to wear my own clothes again. 90% of my closet is going to waste. Looking good in almost any clothes I try on instead of only 1 out of every 15 things. Looking…

Pamu101 - You look cute, but it's hard to see detail with the small picture, so I'll say 8.5.

mjoy18 - 10 :)

You look great! What kind of exercises do you do?

caitmcwill - Adorable pictures! 8.5

I would say don't keep any soda or unhealthy snacks in the house. It might sound extreme, but you can't give in to a craving if the food isn't available, and healthy eating will be good for everyone in the household.

Of course Satan wants you to do what makes you happy and do what you want. That's because he knows you want to eat that cake or big mall pretzel and you think it will make you happy. But don't listen to him, he's just sabotaging your efforts to do the right thing!

I would weigh them cooked, but I just measure in cups. And I also agree that you don't have to worry about having too many veggies.

I've had similar experiences looking at recent pictures of myself. I need to get back to how I used to look! I want to find myself again under all this extra weight.

I'd also say find out what his "love language" is. If you both know each other's love languages the marriage will be happier for both of you. http://www.5lovelanguages.com/learn-the-languages/the-five-love-languages/ (You don't have to buy the book, although I do recommend it. Just looking at the list will be helpful.)

"If you really believe in a right and a wrong, do you really believe that the same right and wrong apply to everyone?" Yes, I believe in objective morals. If there are no objective morals, then there is really no such thing as right and wrong and people should be free to do whatever they want regardless of the…

Actually it would make sense to me if some measures were put in place to ensure that marriage was taken more seriously in order to decrease the divorce rate. I'm not sure exactly what that would look like, but making it illegal for people to get married while intoxicated might be a good start. (Thinking of things like…
