Can I just say that this is not appropriate talk for a weight-loss site? :tongue: :smokin: My boyfriend has hit me with a couple of really good "that's what she said"s but for the most part he doesn't have a phrase... I'm missing out! although I have heard (sooooo many times) that he's in better shape than most guys half…

Ok, I'll rest again today, and play it by ear the rest of the weekend.

I use the pills too. Seems to work for me!

I am starting to feel really depressed. I started having a little annoying cough on Thursday evening, it was just occasional, with a mild sore throat, no big deal. I was still able to work out on thursday and again on Saturday. Sunday, I felt a bit worse, but decided to run anyway.. just not go quite as far. I felt fine…

no worries, I'm with you! I think a little alone time is WONDEROUS! I jump at every chance i get for my mom to have the boys over for the night. Or even 2 or 3 nights as she'll do a few times a year so we can get a weekend away. However, I do agree that ALL SUMMER, would feel a bit different.

I just use "Red wine" that MFP provides... I dont' go to the trouble of figuring out every single different kind.. is there really a big difference?

I went through my entire closet after that. I now have 9 pairs of jeans that fit, instead of just 4. And, I'm giving away 4 pairs to goodwill that are TOO big. woo hoo! Still 7 more pairs of "skinny" jeans to get back into. but.... hey, this is progress (and yes, I did have 20 pairs of jeans in my closet. I'm a jeans…

Somehow I lost 3 lbs in less than 2 weeks all of a sudden. (after very slow progress this far.. had only lost about 5 lbs in 2 months). So.. maybe the weight won't stay off... but.... I got brave and stood on my tip-toes and grabbed the pile of skinny jeans off the top shelf in the closet. the Joe's jeans I bought at…

mmmm. don't think I'm the expert by any means, but I'll offer this perspective: Sounds like some major issues that only you can decide how you want to handle. At the very least, I'd recommend you talk to him about your concerns and whether or not the two of you want to work on your problems, or just go your separate ways.…

I'm in too. Starting weight: 145 Goal by August 1st: 135 End goal 130

I stopped using splenda, (there was a splenda-shut off post) in early may. I have lost weight more consistantly since stopping it and I was only using 2-4 packets a day in coffee. I have swtiched to agave and the extra calories have not hurt me at all. I didnt read your entire initial post because I have done my own…

on my weigh days, I weigh myself about 3 times! morning, afternoon and evening and then take the lowest weight!

Oh baby. :( :explode: I'm sure the quitting is making everything feel more dramatic, unconquorable, etc than it has to be. That is to be expected. Stick in there. The weight is not FAT, it is just your body adjusting. It will come off as easily as it goes on. Just make sure you arent' substituting unhealthy foods for an…

Ok, some of you may have read the splenda shut-off post I made a few weeks back. I haven't had any problem without it. Have been losing weight more consistantly too (may or may not be related). but.. here's the biggest surprise. and yes, very TMI for some people, but I just had to share anyway because I am NOT a private…

thanks for pointing out the ticker. I too, save a lot of my old clothes, so when I lose 5-10 more lbs, I'll get to go shopping from my top shelf in my closet where all my skinny jeans are! that will be fun too! But, I had missed shopping. I usually allowed myself to go to goodwill, or somewhere similar about once a week. I…

Yeah, I wouldn't buy anything at a dept store that was too small for me, but when I see something that is a great deal, that I know won't be around for me to buy when I actually AM that size, I can't pass it up. I know that at my skinniest (2 years ago) I was a GAP size 4. So.. buying a size 6 now, doesn't seem like s…

I'm a thrift store addict, Lately I've found that i'm buying cute clothes that *almost* fit. Pants/shorts mostly. anyone else? I just love to shop for great deals, and don't want to buy any more "Fat" clothes . and I can't pass up the cute GAP capris for 3.99 or the "joes jeans" for 4.99 that will fit when I Lose 5 more…

I like to run, but get so bored on long runs. So I've started doing the 'daily double" whenever possible. 3 miles or an intense workout class in the morning and 3 miles in the evening. I only get to do it once or twice a week but I feel good when I do! I don't think I could do 6 miles all at once though. 35 min of running…

I prefer tight stuff... even when it doesnt' look that great. I Just can't stand baggy shorts, and I usually end up in short-shorts or a running skirt and a tank top (or long sleeved top when it's chilly out)

I just measure at the very biggest spot I can find! and make sure the tape measure is pretty level all the way around by looking in the mirror (make sure it isn't high in the back, low in the front, etc)

I did the coffee sans ANY SUGAR or cream.. just did 1% milk instead. And guess what? it wasn't nearly as good. :) but it was totally drinkable.. although not GULPable.. but I found this to be a good thing as I only ended up drinknig 1/2 my cup. Do I really need all that caffiene anyway?

Ok. Tomorrow will be day 1 of no splenda. I just read someone's nutrasweet post on MFP and realized that I use tons of splenda and have for about 4 years. Maybe that's where a lot of my troubles are stemming from? Ok. Maybe not. but I figure it's worth a try. I use about 4-6 packets of splenda a day, which has increased a…

When you have a uber-fit boyfriend! Feeling playful, and starting to feel fit after a good run, we were in the bathroom together getting ready for a shower. For once, I'm not embarrassed about what I weigh, even though it's still more than I want.. it's... well, less than it was a few weeks ago, so it feels encouraging. So…

http://www.healthcentral.com/cholesterol/home-body-fat-test-2774-143.html this website I find to be useless. I gain my weight in my belly and breasts and upper arms. So it has me measure my thighs, calves, hips, wrist? those aren't big on me at all. it says I Have 22.5% body fat. ha! I have almost 30% according to my scale.

I second whomever said pulling up your pants when you run it's a good/bad feeling altogether. I just got cute workout pants and now when I run, I spend every 10th step yanking them back up. I also got my first cat-call the other day while I was running !

Ok, well, here goes! Week 3: Starting weight 148.6 thighs: 22 inches each at the very biggest point

Yeah, I dont' usually have a problem with my butt, but... I am dreading the skinny boobs. I gain my weight in my abdomen and chest, so right now I've got very nice ones! Last time I lost weight my boobs were pathetic (still looked okay with the right bra and shirt, but naked, they were a disaster). Look like 2…

I didn't do much extra! I am just starting to lose weight, so I think that helps. I'm sure that once I get closer to my goal, it will be a lot harder. I have a stability ball and have been doing more oblique exercises than usual. I also have been running more hills, and running more PERIOD, which my boyfriend says helps…
