  • I'm like this in the summer. I can't tolerate heat above 80 and I live in Dallas, TX -_- I'll try to see my gelding early morning or late at night for some attention, but not going to seriously work with him until it starts cooling down lol.
  • Hi! I'm a trail rider, too. I am on some horse sites and one of them has a group for riders that are trying to lose weight, but there are always jerks that go on there to tell people they're too big for their horses so I tend to avoid posting on there. I've never heard of campdrafting. I don't do a lot of western stuff,…
  • My horse is one of my main motivations for weight (other than health, family, etc....). I miss going riding. It's been years. I quit after I started gaining large amounts of weight. I bought my horse as a yearling last October hoping that I'd be in shape by the time he goes under saddle (spring 2015!). :)
  • I'm 5'7 At 145-150 I'm: Bust: 38/39 Waist: 25/26 Hips: 36/37 *Measurements varied by an inch or so throughout a ten year period depending on my eating and exercise habits.* At 210 I'm: Bust: 45 Waist: 31 Hips: 41 My waist is the last place I gain and first place I lose. I have a super long torso, narrow rib cage, and…
  • English is my second language and I sometimes have problems with "twelve". The German word for it is "zwoelf" and I tend to pronounce the "v" in "twelve" like the "f" in the German word. Twelff. I don't have a problem with any other words that I can think of (including squirrel (I saw videos of Germans trying to pronounce…
  • Yes, your tummy looks more defined along the sides and the lower part is now flat. I don't know if it's the way you're standing, but it looks like your waist is nipped in a little from the back, like there's more of a curve from the waist, if that makes sense. I would encourage you to get progress shots from behind, if you…
  • Yes, it is for us. My husband is the insistent one, he gets slightly annoyed if I don't go to bed at the same time as him (I'm a total night owl and he goes to bed at 10). I do like having him next to me but his snoring drives me insane and I would get much better sleep if we had separate rooms. When he's gone for business…
  • I was hoping yoga would help me with my balance. And flexibility. I got out of shape and lost the little bit of flexibility I had. It's amazing how hard something simple like reaching a stirrup with your foot from the ground can get when you're out of shape :/ lol
  • I see that the original post is two years old, but oh well. I love talking about my horse :D I haven't ridden in a few years because I got so out of shape. I purchased a yearling Tennessee Walking Horse last year, thinking I'd be in shape by the time he's ready to go under saddle. So far, so good! He goes for saddle…
  • Here are the things people have been surprised about, whether or not they're interesting :D 1) I'm a German expat (I sound American). 2) I own a horse (this surprises people because I live in a downtown high rise). 3) I have NEVER tried a cigarette, smoked pot, or tried any sort of street drugs. No tattoos, either. :o Even…
  • Dallas, TX. :)
  • I just finished Day 13. I do not like Level 2 (just not a fan of planks!) and put it off until after 11 p.m. today :o
  • I'm with you, too! I'm also Nicole, btw. I don't meet people with my name very often, lol. I've lose 80 lbs in the past. In 4 months. Very unhealthy. I'm not doing the slow and steady thing. I've lost 31 pounds since June (no exercise, not really trying, just cutting back on food) and want to lose at least 80 more (to be…
  • Can I join? I'm starting day 2 in a few minutes. I did this up to day 13 end of 2012. I'm a years-long lurker of this board, but was never motivated enough to sign up. Until today :)
