Kelly Brook. She's got a perfect hourglass figure. Lots of curves in all the right places...

125 is pretty small for 5'7" I am also 5'7", and in high school weighed as little as 115. It was way to thin. I cheered in college, and looked my very best at a healthy and active 135lbs. Now that I'm nearing 40, my goal is just to get to 145. Either way, pick a place where you feel confident and healthy, and are happy…

SFG, I'm planning to do 3 local Tulsa races. First off is the St. Patrick's Day 5K, second is the Parkside Run March 31st, and then I plan to do the Renal Run May 5th. Feel free to join me, and I have a guest room you can claim if you would like!

I have to agree with the above posters (except running barefoot). It makes a HUGE difference getting fit properly at a running store and going up a size. They can video your walk and run, and tell you what your foot is doing and thus what type of shoe technology you need. I have to have inserts for proper arch support, yet…

I love Zumba, and anything else that doesn't feel like a workout - Yoga, Pilates, etc. Aqua Zumba is my all time favorite though!

I agree, it's irritated that people want to have the freedom of choice, but don't put in the time and effort to make and educated choice, and don't want to accept the consequences of those decisions. These are the people who think bad things always "just happen" to them.

As an RN, I agree with many of the things Dr. Oz says. He has helped to write 2 books which are very good (haven't read the others), and break down many medical issues into understandable reasons to make yourself healthier. The only issue I have is that he pushes a lot of supplements I don't think everyone needs to take.…

I have the opposite problem. My husband is a touch competitive, and VERY in shape. Every time I am doing great with my diet and exercise, he has to try and top it. When I started eating really healthy and losing weight, he went even more extreme with his diet and wanted to compare cholesterol numbers. He was eating…

Well, I think there's a difference between overweight and out of shape personally. I know a very healthy trainer who has always been overweight due to a metabolic disorder. She can out-train everyone at the gym. All of her clients get amazing results. I think every situation is different. What if she just had a baby? What…

That's true, it's called visceral fat in case you do want to google it, and it's the most unhealthy. So if you're truly not losing inches, you're still doing wonderful things for your body!

Start measuring the areas they DON'T, but where you have issues. For example, having 2 c-sections and a hysterectomy, my waist is smaller than the area between my belly button and hips. The "pooch". They don't measure that, but I do. I also measure my waist at it's smallest point, waist at the belly button, on my legs I…

A real man is one whose character you never have to question. He lets a woman know he loves her not by what he says, but what he does. He is respectful, so he doesn't do things that would hurt or offend the one he loves. He wants to be a team player, and share in a partnership - both the good and the bad. He has a strong…

I have always been a mexican food lover, so my very favorite and most used mini meal in my arsenal is a black bean burrito. Here are the ingredients and nutritional info for each item.

I'm in! Live in Broken Arrow :-). I grew up in Tulsa, lived in Dallas and Missouri for a while, so I know quite a few places that are great, unfortunately that's why I'm on MFP :-)

This is better than the bachelor!

That's some awesome motivation Kritty! You're doing such an amazing job!

My current motivator is being in MFP's biggest loser season 2 contest. It doesn't matter if I win, but it's fun, I have a great team, and the other members are EXTREMELY motivating. It's so awesome seeing a group of people band together with a common goal and to watch them succeed every week. Friend the group and follow…

It just means you know where you're starting, and you will so appreciate it when you look back at that BMI table and are OUT of that range. You can do this. You are worth it. It WILL be a struggle sometimes, but just keep going. You will eventually get there. If it's overwhelming right now, start small. Start taking a walk…

Oh, and pat yourself on the back for losing that weight, it's hard! Look what you've already done! You don't want to have to lose those SAME pounds again do you? I've had a similar issue with yo-yo dieting in the past, but it takes too much work to do it for the same pounds over and over :-)
-
You can do it! The quotes I always think of remind me that it's not whether you fall, it's if you get back up. 1. You wouldn't overfill your gas tank onto the pavement below, why do it to your body? 2. Pain is temporary, quitting is forever. You'll find the way, you'll do it. All you need is your mind and support (which…

oops, that should have been whole grain CRACKERS with your peanut butter on that second one :-)
-
What about apple slices with your peanut butter, or some whole grain peanut butter? I also like to take the protein 2go packs and throw it in a bottle of water to drink on the way to the gym! Orange Mango is yummy!

I like the strawberry whey protein with almond milk. I add frozen strawberries instead of ice cubes and add half of a banana. Tastes great, and is pretty low calorie!

You're welcome! Good Luck!

I used to hate water too, I was a Diet Pepsi addict. Then I read the latest research on diet soda and that did it for me. The carbonation eats at your stomach, depletes your bones of calcium, and tricks your brain into incorrect insulin release causing more cravings. I'm having less cravings now, and feel full after even…

I would have to say PGHSteelerFan, PackerFan, and of course my ultimate supporter, vinniesooner. He got me on here, supported me through the initial start/stop of doing the program, and served as a wonderful role model for me. We ran his first 5K together, and seeing someone you grew up with completely change their lives…

Actually, carbs are processed more quickly, so are the nemesis of feeling satisfied. Fats and protein keep you full longer. If you crave carbs, that's a different thing. When you reach for the carbs, get the whole grains, and carbs with fiber. Reach for good fats too. Make yourself a big salad with lots of veggies, some…

I also had a person ask when I was due. My reply was "2 years ago". They were mortified and walked off. The worst for me personally though, was when the season changed, and absolutely nothing fit me. I have 5 sizes of clothes in my closet, and not even my "fat pants" fit. I had to buy new clothes, so I went to my regular…

Welcome! Your English is great! Feel free to post metric, it will do us good to convert every now and then! :-)
