  • Here's where I feel guilty: when I'm sick. When I'm in the house and incapable of putting dinner on the table. For some reason, that makes me feel like I shouldn't be inconveniencing anyone. No one knows where the right pans are, or what I was planning to cook, how to cook rice, etc. It's just easier to get up and do it…
  • That 14 pounds is very motivating, isn't it? Keep it up!
  • Our tree would be needle-less by now. Like a bird without feathers. We did just turn off the outside tree colorful bulbs and took the wreath off the front. After awhile you just don't see them anymore! But no...I don't think I could stand it!
  • The Shack - what you think you know to be the truth may be farther from it than you realize. The Five People You Meet in Heaven - Your actions have an impact on other people, even when it is not obvious to you. The Last Lecture - Inspiring and moving.
  • Welcome to both of you! Do you have any plans on how you are going to get started on your weight loss journey?
  • Honestly, no! My philosophy since my kids were little (they're 15 and 14 now) has been to teach them to be independent so they will be able to survive once they leave the house. So, they are responsible for helping around the house (you don't need to do everything), they know how to cook some meals, they do their own…
  • Thanks for starting this thread. So fun to "meet" people this way! Born and raised in San Diego, CA, I have lived in Connecticut for 18 years and I still hate the winters but wow, I sure love how green it is here most of the time. My kids are 15 and 14. My husband and I met online. That explains the move from CA! I love…
  • One of Jillian Michaels' DVD programs 30 Day Shred Ripped in 30 Body Revolution Extreme Shed and Shred Etc...
  • Now you've thrown it out there for all to see! Throw on those running shoes and feel the fresh air in your face. Tomorrow remember how good it felt!
  • Of course you can! I did the JM 90 Day Body Revolution 2 years ago. I didn't skip any days (ok, maybe a couple). Lost 17 inches. You won't know until you try!
  • The teeth-brushing helps me for sure. Maybe you should do something totally different instead of watching TV. That's a passive activity that just begs for snacking! When I get involved in one of my "hobbies" that uses my hands, I get totally lost in it and I don't think about food at all. I do a lot of drawing, doodling,…
  • I usually go to the "My Topics" button right above here and if my name is not the last one on the post, I know someone commented.
  • It's about more than the food. It's a blatant disregard for you, your feelings and your goals.
  • I skipped my period for two months and I thought "Had I known, it was my last one, I would have had a little dance about it." It came back and I'm not in the mood to dance now. I had hot flashes for two weeks, then it stopped. Was that a test? I decided to call it Spiritual Enlightenment, which apparently has much of the…
  • SAD sucks all the fun out of the holidays. I am all optimistic up until midi-December, then I just can't stand the hassle of it all. I avoid the cold because it causes pain in my face, so I stay inside most all winter. I have been taking Vitamin D, but will increase that to my maximum. All my art supplies are in a room in…
  • Strength training is so great for us at any age, but I agree, your back is your first priority.
