Curvaceous

Beautiful skin.

For me I always had a truly great figure, at least that is what my mate always told me. Together for 11 years and one day I realized he hadn't told me how great I looked in a long time. Chalked it up to being together for a while. Then my family members started to refer to me as thick and curvy and suggested I try the plus…

Same thing happened to me when I started. Think it could be a mental thing, when I started to be conscious of how and what I ate, those things changed. I had a hard time eating 1200 cals per day while working out. I added protein powder shakes with fruit and that really helped in meeting my goal.

Good for you! You are finally in that place, that so many get to, when they just want change so bad they are willing to work for it! I also have a husband that is not on board for himself but is on board with me getting in shape. Sometimes I feel like he is not really being fair, in that I am willing to work to look and…

Great shoulders!

A date to the gym, absolutely!

I see it quite a lot where I live and it appears in some ways to be a cultural or sub-culture thing. Then there are the cases of people that just really love makeup and any excuse to try out new looks! I rarely think it works but that is just my perspective. When you see a group of 5 or so teenager girls together and they…

I love peanut butter with honey on fruit or carrots. It is high in calories but 2 Tbs. is enough to feel like you ate something! So make ants on a log (PB in celery w/raisin on top) and enjoy the filling power of PB. Pretty sure the calories in 2 Tbs is under 200.

Hello, we are about the same size with the same goals to be reached by August.

Hello! I also have back problems, having three discs fused in lower back. Also the left hip where they took the bone to save my spine, as well as a very broken foot(almost every bone in right foot cracked or broken). That has been years ago and living with the aftermath is not easy but doable. Low impact for me means a lot…

Skinny fork has lots of good recipes on the site.

Education is the answer, not legislation. Teach people how to do better and eat better, than they will have the tools they need to do so.

It seems like it would be more confusing to try and keep track of what calories go where. My advice is just to be true to your logging and make good on your overage with a little extra exercise the next day.

At 37, I put on my sweats, 2 bras and a t shirt,clean socks and tennis shoes, grab my earphones and phone for tunes.Pull hair back into a bun and clean my glasses then grab a clean hand towel. Then walk to the gym and proceed to sweat my head off for about 35 minutes on the elliptical. After which I wipe down equipment and…

Went blonde for many years and it was a hassle to keep up with . These days back to my original color which is Auburn so...some call me brunette others a red head. My skin is very light and eyes are blue so blonde always made me feel a bit washed out. My color now fits me and my skin tone.

Hello 37 y/o stay at home Mom of a 5 y/o girl. Your post says it all. The way I deal with logging my food is by using my phone a lot. The phone app has a bar code scanner built right in so the food description and calorie info just pops right up. Other than that I find snapping a picture of the foods I can't log right away…

Hello, I grew up in small town Wyoming (pop. 97 at the time). So glad to hear you are taking the steps to get healthy! I would gladly be there to support you on your way.

Try on underwear!

Pesto is a good bet but you may need to find a low fat recipe as it packs a punch if you are too liberal with it. Guacamole as well could work but also make sure you are measuring as they both are good in smaller amounts but add up quickly.

Let's see,I had always had a curvy , healthy body that was great for my self esteem.Then I moved to another state and my lifestyle changed a lot. I was no longer working and was home all the time happily raising a young one. I gained about 30-40 lbs. I still felt good and proud of my body. Well last year I went to a…

Haven't cut out my beer but sadly the IPA and Guinness are a no go for awhile; Replaced with MGD 64 , not sure how I feel about that yet. Who am I kidding it is terrible for me,lol. I love dark, hoppy deliciousness. Good luck in your alcohol free January. I will be here suffering under the tyranny of 64 calorie beer. Bless…
