38DDD here. Two Ahh Bras work fantastically for me. I can't get over the support, better than a sports bra.

THIS.

I do a 40 minute walk every day with my beautiful Amstaff. She needs an aggressive walk so I really motor. Also, I LOVE LOVE LOVE Tai chi! I just started it about 3 months ago and I am just blown away by it. I see a lot of people doing Zumba---there's a class here in town, I've been thinking that I might throw that into…

They say misery loves company. We have a few of them around here. The trick to dealing with these people I have found is to be firm. You'd be surprised how many people are on your side once you stand up for yourself.

I will do a freaking cartwheel.

My breakfast is always the same---1/3 c oatmeal, 1/2 cup of some kind of nuts, 1 cup of berries or some kind of fruit and a cup of coffee. Lunch is a salad and typically some leftover soup. Dinner tonight will be Mexican themed---Pinto Beans & Brown rice stuffed portabellas, topped with greens, sliced tomatoes, avocado and…

Today I made a crazy walking mix. My taste in music is totally eclectic. Would I Lie To You?--The Eurythmics, It's My Life--No Doubt, Vivir Mi Vida (Yo Fred Remix)--Marc Anthony, Mi Confession--Gotan Project, Who Loves You--Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons, I Believe--Yolanda Adams, Grand Guignol--Bajofondo, Sweet Child Of…

Butt crack at any age ain't good. Always reminds me of Dan Ackroyd.

Hi all! New to the group just a few minutes ago. My name's Gina, I'm 42, 43 is in 2 months. I'm hoping to be looking back at the midpoint of my goal weight by my birthday in July. Looking forward to getting to know everyone, feel free to friend me!

Keep exercising, feed your skin from the inside out with a healthy diet and it will eventually tighten up. It may take some time, but be patient.

If she really didn't care she wouldn't be here. Quit being a hater.

Looking for this very topic today!!! Bringing Sexy Back - Justin Timberlake.

I went through it, and it was 15 lbs...then 15 became 25, which became 50, which became 75. It happened in the blink of an eye. I saw a picture of myself and almost died. The sick thing is the picture was of me shoving a giant hunk of cantaloupe in my mouth. Don't get there. Fight and care.

I did a 30 minute walk and about a half hour or so of Tai Chi.

CW = 183 GW = 135 % body fat? no clue. If I can get down to 170 by June, woo, will that be awesome.

I'm in!

I'd be happy if I could plank for 80 seconds.

I bet spaghetti squash would be awesome topped with pureed cauliflower. I just made the best ever creamy-licious soup yesterday out of pureed cauliflower. I steamed a head along with a clove of elephant garlic (that I peeled but didn't smash so it stayed on the sweeter side) and then pureed it. O....M.....G was it…

any recipe by The Pioneer Woman. Her food just plain sucks.

I would have to agree. Organic has become much more a marketing gimmick than anything. The real concern is genetically modified produce, which is for the most part soybeans and corn. If you're drinking soy milk, get organic to avoid the GMO's. As for corn, most of it is produced for the processed foods industry, which we…

For me, completely changing my diet has ended my seemingly never-ending binge. I don't know if it's like this for you, but for me it was not so much my being "hungry", but more that my body was craving more food, even though my stomach was full. I would stand in front of the fridge and just eat whatever was in there, and…

If he looks down on you, he's not your "friend". Friendship should build us up, not tear us down. Your "friend" is, as was mentioned before, a douche. Learn your worth, pretty girl!

Hi All, Gina here. Love the Beachbody workouts so far! I started with Insanity, which might have been a completely cookoo choice for a girl with over 50 lbs to lose, but I'm glad I did it, because it really helped me to increase my physical stamina, even though I didn't complete the program yet. A warning to those out…

Two things: First, Someone in the thread mentioned Psyllium Husk Fiber Powder. I agree with this. It's like a miracle powder. The jar will say take it a few times a day, but don't. Just take it once a day, a heaping tablespoon with water. After a week you'll be regular. Second, add more greens to your diet--like a couple…

Chins.

This is an awesome idea! I walk my dog for about a half hour every day. I've been really neglecting my Rosary a lot. Really badly. And shame on me, because I run a website & facebook page that are trying to encourage 10% of America to pray a daily rosary. I'm really blowing that one. Great incentive.

Hi all! I joined MFP a while ago, but really only started utilizing it this week. I decided that if I'm going to live my faith to the fullest, getting my weight and idiotic eating habits under control should be a part of it. How can I possibly "glorify The Lord with my life" if something as important as my diet is so…

I know how this is going to sound, but throw away every recipe you have for hummus and follow mine. My LEBANESE GRANDMOTHER taught me how to make it. We used to smash everything in a giant mortar and pestle, and then whip the heck out of it to get it nice and smooth. It was a load of work, but it was delicious!!! We've…
