I'm a sucker for a well groomed mustache & goatee! ... add some tattoos, and yum:)

I know, terrible right?! My hubby & kids have threatened to do me bodily harm if i don't adjust soon! I rarely have this issue unless i up the fiber in my diet.... i'm kinda enjoying all this torture i can hand my family back for a change:) LOL

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you:)

My back hurts sometimes when i do sit-ups, or anything that involves me laying on the floor so i love to do the walking routines with Leslie Sansone on exercise t.v. Doing the 3mi routine gets your heart going, trust me:) It's great that your wearing your brace, because i was too vain when i was little and was terrified of…

I'm 5'4... started at 149 back in March of this year... currently 137. Boy, they weren't kidding when i've heard everyone say it's harder to lose for us "not so big" gals! Extremely slow process. We have a better chance of keeping it off tho, so thats good. I'm an apple shape and have big hips and bad lower tummy. I've…

Drinking hot apple cider while sitting by the fireplace:)

If you have to keep pulling your pants/shorts up (like me), because your stomach keeps pushing them down you know your an apple!!! LOL This is too funny~ Last wk at the library, i came accross the book "Apple & Pears", written by Marie Savard, M.D. with Carol Svec and am really enjoying it. So informative! I've always…

I'm like my father~ 3rd times a charm. First married when i was 19,...beat on me one time that's all it took... i was gone. Second marriage, we lived together for 6yrs and was planning a cruise for vacation, so he said let's make it our honeymoon... we fought the entire time. Stayed 'un-happily' married till he decided…

I love tattoo's!~ I have them on my chest, arms, leg, front of hip bone, lower back, and even my *kitten* cheek:) Out of all of them, i'd say the one on my *kitten* definately hurt the most!!! The ones on my chest,...barely. But everyone's tolerance for pain is different. I like it....lol Good luck on deciding~ :drinker:

I abused strong pain killers for 8 years and learned alot when i attended a detox center to get clean.... It takes 18mos for your brain & dophamine levels to fully recover. I gained weight at first, but quiting my job and being sedentary didn't help either...lol I've been clean over a year and feel better all the time. I…

I started at 149lbs...and the scale would never budge. Took me 6 mos. to lose 10lbs.!!!!!!! When i joined this site, i was totally absorbed in everything i read, what people said to do,... what people said not to do... etc. Bottom line for me? Relax. Move more. Eat less than usual... and ONLY when your hungry:) Good luck!

I agree w/Collins~ I found it easier to change my fitness level to very active considering i work outside on my feet all day and do a ton of walking. I only log what i do outside of work like weights, or swimming, mowing the lawn, etc. Much easier that way:)

I am at 139lbs.. 5'4. Top~ Med. Pants/Shorts~ 10reg, or 11 jrs... I'm wide accross the hips.

I've medicated my children!... Yeah, always gave them tylenol before their check-ups that included shots... LOL I do miss alone time & sleeping in. My boys are early risers.. always have been. Kept them home from school when sick... often experiencing lots of backlash from co-workers,.. (ofcourse the ones that did not have…

TRUCKS!!! ~ Especially a black Chevy Silverado extend cab like the one my sexy man drives! Aint nothin hotter:):love:

I find it interesting that the majority of women have stated 2, or 3. I'm def a #1 kind a girl, ya know, natural works for me. I think if my man shaved, or heck, even trimmed i'd find it to be a little weird. Ok, ALOT weird...LOL The 'trimmed' area is mine, not his.:noway:

Hi:) I have no idea if it's available to you or not, but on my cable there is an exercise t.v. channel that has all sorts of different workouts... from walking, dancing, the 30day shred, etc. I live in Florida and work outside so i definately know what you mean. Too hot!!!

Well, besides the fact that none of my shorts fit anymore... i was still in denial. In the same week, 2 different cashiers asked me when i was 'due'?!!! I carry weight around my mid-section mostly. I felt utterly disgusted. Aint nothin worse than someone assuming your pregnant when your NOT!:sad:

I found the Dannon brand to be a little less thick than the others... not bad. I ususally cut up an apple and mix with it.:drinker:

I have smoked for.... let's see.... do a little math.... (on a regular basis- one pack of Marlboro Light 100's a day) for..... 25 freaking YEARS?! Uggggh. I know that's terrible. Do i need to quit? YES! Do i think i'll ever be ready?... NO. I have had 'other' bad habits that i quit... but smoking aint one of them.:drinker:

You went to the theatre to watch the first version of "Star Wars", dressed up like Yoda:) Went from wearing mostly plaid, to mostly leopard with big hair (Ah, the days) DO NOT miss hairspray~ never use it now. Madonna was your idol. Knew every word to every song! You'll never forget MJ's "Beat it" video~ Was amazing:)…

:drinker: I love the 500 cal dishes on the menu:) The sirloin, or the shrimp skewers w/veggies are delish!

Hi:) I live in S.W. Florida

LOL... I am a 'former' steeler fan. My love said we could live together under ONE condition~ I convert to PATRIOTS:)

Thanks alot Rach! I got stuck on FB for the past hour when all i was gonna do was vote for ya!...LOL No, really, i hope ya win. I like some rock, but i voted for the pure love of tat's ( I have 10). Good luck!~ You got this:)

One of life's most important lessons - NEVER 'Assume' anything!:wink:

Games are so much fun!...LOL I've got an inch on you but we look about the same size... i'm gonna say 140? Gosh, i hope i'm not way over! You look great:)

I went from 125 to 150 in about 6mos last year due to quitting an active job to stay at home with my children. I improved my eating habits and have exercised 6 days a wk for the past 5 months and i've only been able to lose 5 lbs!!!! I am not settling for 145! I'll keep at it till it comes off.:flowerforyou:

Like others said~ about retaining water after strength training...i find it to be so true!.. i started exercising more than usual, finally made myself rest one day, did absolutely nothing!.. and lost 2 lbs. I want to lose so bad, that sometimes i tend to over do it and feel guilty if i don't exercise everyday. We have to…

Bump:)
