Ann-I don't think you sound selfish at all. I agree with Julie. I'm a lot more pleasant to be around when I'm feeling good about myself too. And I'm with you on working your butt off and not seeing results. I have had to constantly remind myself why I'm doing this. To be healthy. The way I look is an added bonus. I may…

Danielle-Sounds like you had an amazing weekend!! Your hubby sounds so cute with his "it was meant to be comment" I love it! I can just feel your excitednses and enthuasium in your post! You are on cloud 9! I saw some of your pics but I didn't see the ring, I'll have to go back and check! Heather-Way to go on the 2 pound…

Wow what a great achievement! Congrats! I think noticing the little things are my favorite part.

Julie-Yay for not peeing on a stick today! That's great progress! :laugh: I'd be peeing on one 3 times a day if I were in your situation. Laurne-Congrats to your hubby on the first place! That's fantastic! And good job on the maintaing cals. Better then been in the gaining category! If you can't loss why not maintain?!…

purple-I weigh daily usually two or three times a day. Yeah..I'm obsessive like that. I usually only count weigh ins on Fridays but if I'm desperate I will count it if it sticks around for a day or two. Great job staying under your calories and getting back in the gym! Great job! Danielle-Hope you had a wonderful…

LilDebbie-Hope your feeling better this morning. Have fun shopping for Serena! Julie-Oh my goodness gracious. I was so hoping to log in and see you have an answer. I'm sorry girl. :flowerforyou: Okay so I need to vent a little. I'm really irritated and stressed trying to figure out my meals for today. As I said earlier my…

Julie-What an odd combo!! LOL I would of never thought to have that. Let me know how that turns out! I'm looking forward to the pizza. Hopefully I can keep it somewhat healthy. We will see though! I'm just sitting here WAITING for it to be 6! It has been such a slow day!! ugh!!!

Julie-Sounds like a nice relaxing weekend for you Julie! Enjoy it. In 9 months you may be having a baby. :tongue: JK JK Purple-Dang girl! I need to find some stores like that!! I'd love to find me some good deals. Guess if I looked I would probably find 'em huh? Lauren-You've done an amazing job maintaing. I think that's…

awww that doesn't sound like fun. You can obsess here if you want. That's what it's here for. My days boring as all get out! No big plans. Gonna try and take it easy. I been running running running for I don't even know how long. Birthday party tomorrow night and cleaning the old apartment Sunday. Good times! Gonna try and…

Its awfully quiet around here this morning. :cry:

As I was reading this post and you mentioned going home to eat brats I said to myself "this person has gotta be from Wisconsin" LOL I'm from Wisconsin as well. Nobody knows what brats are here in Texas. Weirdos! JK JK! Good luck with giving up the Coors Light!! It's gotta be tuff!

Blue-Glad you made it through the day alive! We love you! Momma-Yay for Ryan having a great day!! LilDebbie-Serena is going into 2nd? So is my niece! I'm praying your lil one has a great year as well! Julie-I can only imagine what you are going through. I'm sorry girl. I know the waiting game sucks. Hang in there.…

purple-Thank you for the sushi tip! I want to do a more healthy alternative. The only sushi I have had is the kind you buy at the grocery store, I usually get the avacado rolls. They have a website so I plan to have what I want to eat all planned out. The worst part is the dinner reservation is for 8:30. UGH! I'll have to…

I know we have some sushi lovers on the board. Going out to a sushi place on Saturday night for my friends birthday. Any healthy suggestions? I'm determined to turn my eating habits around on the weekends!

Oh my goodness I am the same way!! Lauren-A coupon for cleaning? That's amazing!! I need one of those to come clean my apartment!! I'm dreading the awful "move out" clean up. We didn't put down a deposit and so I wanna say screw it, it's your problem, it's not that bad! Laila-Thanks girl for the advise. I'm not, not…

I think that is so great! What an awesome decision to make and it sounds like you have the determination! :flowerforyou:

I agree! :flowerforyou: Well said.

Julie-Girl you are CRACKING me up! But I do my friend said that her tiredness was her first sign. She use to stay up till all hours of the night and said she could barley make it through her workday. Those tests need to show a positive result or TOM needs to show up already! I'm excited to find out the results. As I'm sure…

Sometimes I gain sometimes I don't. But this time around it seems I've gained about 4 pounds. Mine usually starts the week before and once it arrives it slowly drops back down. You can weigh yourself during this time but don't get discouraged. If your doing everything right it's not a true gain.

lstpaul-So sorry to hear you were feeling bad but glad you are back to yourself again. And you are right, at least if you get the symptoms again you know what they are. Glad to see you back! Danielle-I definitely have days that I feel skinnier. Haven't had one in about a week though. Gotta love the lurking of TOM! Congrats…

I've never heard of 'em. I'm going to have to check 'em out!

Julie-That's hilarous what your dh said about babies being better then cancer. Don't fret yet. I'm sure TOM is on the horizon. You've got yourself all worked up about it now. It'll show it's ugly face! Elmox-You are exactly right. We need to learn to maintain so why not practice now while we take a little "break"? Nancy-So…

Good morning...err...afternoon ladies! I came into work late. Went to the gym bright and early and did an hour of cardio and some ab work. YAY!! I haven't read all the posts. Need to go back and read the posts.

I just recently moved 45 minutes from where I work, that's without traffic. So if I don't get up and workout in the morning I'm sitting in traffic for over an hour and not a happy camper. Before I moved and lived 10 minutes away it wasn't that easy. I just had to force myself to do it. Otherwise I got in the habit of…

Julie-Wow that's a lot of time off. Not going to lie, I'm a little bit jealous. But I know you will enjoy all your wonderful time off. I love this time of the year cause we get at least one paid holiday off a month till January. Wish I could offer you some wisdom on the pregnancy thing. I haven't ever been and hopefully…

Thanks Deb! I'm going to have to check it out. I think you should take the day off if you have that opportunity. I bet she would love to spend the day with her Momma before she goes back to school!

Congrats! You look amazing!! Keep up your hard work! Thank you so much for sharing this with us!

I also found one with some kind of straps that are supposed to absorb the shocks when you run. something like that. Not exactly sure how it's worded but the straps are a little thicker and more padded.

When I first started running I was an F or a G..now down to DD. I went to a specialty store and bought an underwire bra. They are more spendy but totally worth it! Also the ones that criss cross or I guess razorback bras help support me better I feel. I have one that the straps are convertable. Not sure of the brand. I…

Okay those of you who do the side by side comparison pictures...how do you get it in one picture format and side by side?
