Wow! Great job and you look gorgeous!

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Very nice!

Multi and a glucosamine w/MSM (for joints) In winter I add L-lysine (hair, nails and skin). Winter because it is dryer and that helps.

SERIOUSLY!! This is my biggest annoyance with the gym!!! There are piles of towels accessable to everyone - use them! If I want to see naked boobs - I have my own set, thank you very much.

Very good points! My HARD - the accidental reflection glance when you realize it's YOU??!! It's hard because the mental image and the actual image are not the same and it's a long hard struggle to bring them closer together.

Yikes - I AM OLD! 90's - ahhhh the college years :embarassed: :love: :blushing: :blushing: :blushing: :blushing:

The "real" problem: Men get married expecting she won't change. Women get married expecting to change him. :laugh:

Several years (and pounds) ago, I used to wear Nike brand shoes. Once I started working out and running, I quickly figured out that Nike was NOT for me!! Shin splints and horrible joint(hips mostly) pain lead to that conclusion. After researching online and asking questions here, I found that Adidas trail shoes have worked…

I was in the 9am Saturday wave and you are so right - IT WAS AWESOME!!!! The obstacles were a much needed break from the killer hills! The most fun in any race I have ever done!! Congrats on your great finish!

That is FANTASTIC as well as GENIUS!

ALL teenage boys have strange aroma's!! Must be the aromatic essence of the increased hormones?? Or they just plain old smell funny. As far as the oven - you don't want to work with the temperatures I have to handle (anywhere from 200C to 600C)

Excellent start on your goals! I am in the Cities (Cottage Grove). I don't think that I will move out of MN ever again (I lived in Nevada for 11 years). Love it here!!

Excellent - now if I could find the like button . . . .

Awesome! You are doing great.

Make his a growth chart collage with things(images) from "home" at the various heights. Some might be objects or memorable events, people, places or even sayings that you might share. All kids like to see how they grow and even consider putting your face by your height.

Weights!! Ask for help and guidance at your gym if you are unsure of how to use them properly. I have been weight training four days a week along with cardio for at least 45 minutes a day for six days of the week. I haven't lost much weight lately but the inches are flying off and I have really noticed the difference in…

So true for MOST cases, not all as you mentioned. But when I was pregnant, I ate for two. Later, prenant with twins - yep, I ate for three. Now it's me and I am eating for me. I like the results and like most people I wish they were faster, but with kids ten years apart, I appreciate that ten years of packing on the pounds…

Natural is good, but if I can't tell that you already took off your sweater - time for some clean up!!! Also, no one likes to floss with short curly hair, so keep it neat! (both sexes) :embarassed:

I think of roller skates when I see them. You know, the ones that you used to clamp on to your shoes, so much smaller than a regular roller skate. ;)

I agree - all of mine, and there are many, have come with important changes in my life. I also have to be mindful of where I place tattoos because of my professional image. They each have meaning and have helped plan the future ones, since I am not done yet. I do like the baby footprints though if they are done really…

My boyfriend makes nice comments about things I never notice on myself. He pointed out some arm definition last night - What? Me? Arm muscles? Who knew. Yep, there it is. The arm muscles go along with the almost starting to show back muscles (yep, he noticed those too). I can't wait to see my best friend tomorrow (haven't…

That is great!

Looking good!! Keep up the great work

Three pregnancies, four kids - all delivered via c-section. It's not a pretty site and I hate it, but I would rather have it be gross, floppy and smaller than go back to bigger! Mine is not going to go away without surgery. My mother had a tummy tuck several years ago and I intend to do the same. I don't think I will ever…

Way to go, that is a great feeling!

I feel this exact way today! I caught a reflection as I walked out of the gym and it was a horrible feeling. All I could see was BAD- it's like the flaws were highlighted in neon. I have been working so hard, really giving it my all and staying on track for the last 5 weeks, but I keep looking through my "fat glasses". I…

You are doing WONDERFUL!! Keep going, all of your hard work really shows, beautiful!!!

Look up ITB injury - to see if that might be what you really have. (Illio tibial band, I think) But the best way to heal, is time off from running! Can you get to a pool and do some "running" in there? It would lift some of the stress from the knees? Hope you heal quickly!

major gain - as in at least 5 pounds! ugh!!:sick: It's a major mental hurdle for me, even though I know it's temporary.

I live in MN - if you don't like the weather here, wait 5 minutes, it will change!
