It's your body and your choice. But I really don't think ignoring him is right. Decode the "guy speak". Just because he's talking about your boobs and butt, doesn't mean it's strictly sexual. He might be trying to express concerns that he's not as physically attractive to you anymore -- but maybe it's deeper -- maybe he's…

Personally I hate the phrase "Let myself go". To me it implies that I made the conscious decision to get unhealthy. Honestly -- that was the furthest thing from my mind. Growing up -- I had no clue about my body. I ran, jumped, skipped, rode bikes, roller skated -- everything the other kids were doing -- I did. When I was…

OMG -- I had a Jason do this to me too!! He had this huge crush on my friend Kim and figured since we hang out - if he was dating me he'd get to hang out with her. And he was soooo pretty too lol

I can't wait till I don't cringe when I see someone with a camera.

I'm totally guilty of the "anywho" one. And I have to de-contract "it's and its" to remember if I need the apostrophe or not. And I make up words when it suits me or when no other word seems to cover what I'm trying to say and if anyone argues that it's not a real word -- I respond "Well -- it should be". And I know 99% of…

:blushing: I'm so sorry guys!!! I've gotten so far behind. But I'm caught up on the chart -- everyone's weights and totals. Since the last weigh in -- as a group we've lost 71.8 lbs. And the total for the whole month is...... 646.55 lbs lost !!!!! I'm so proud of you guys!!! You've all done so amazing and worked so hard.…

It's that time again :) I'll look for your #'s to come in and remember we're going to push on till the 31st!! So if you're almost there -- you've still got another couple of days. I've gotta ask for a couple of people to step forward to help be team captains. I've seen several people in here that I think would do an…

I have my master's degree in social work -- and I'm an account manager for a staffing company. I like what I do -- finding people for jobs and jobs for people. But I know my heart's not in it. When I decided to go to school for social work -- it was because I was raised in foster care and felt really let down by the people…

Hello my Amazing Purple Team!!! I have read these posts in absolute AWE of how hard you are all working !!! I love that you are supporting and motivating each other!!! This month hasn't gone well for me. Well -- at least weight loss wise. I let stress and busy-ness get the better of me and reverted back to some old habits.…

Hi guys -- for those wondering -- yes -- jrdoty posted the new challenge on Friday -- I think she only posted it in her forum and the main one. I've reposted it in our forum -- it's in the comments on my profile page and I also put it in the spreadsheet.

Tomorrow is weigh in day -- it's time to send me your numbers in a message. Remember to send how much water you drank -- how many minutes you exercised -- and how many calories…

I had the sit down talk with my wasband about 5 years into our marriage. I said I really needed to hear those words -- they were comforting and uplifting. I wanted him to initiate it because i was always saying it. His response was "If I didn't love you, you wouldn't be here". And he put "Say "I love you" to Sommer " on…

Hello My Purple Team!!! I hope today finds everyone well.... I'm going to struggle with this challenge -- I'll tell all of you right now. :sick: I HATE WATER!!!:sick: Dont get me wrong -- It's not all water -- just the stuff that comes out of a faucet!!! Especially here at work -- I'm pretty sure he recycles the water from…

This!!! -- Attractiveness is sooo random IMO. For the 1st 29 years of my life --- I loved me a man with long hair -- mmm mmm mmm. Then I met my fiance and gotta tellya -- bald is beautiful!!!! I might say I love blue eyes -- but then I meet someone who has beautiful brown eyes and I think they're attractive. It just…

ATTN PURPLE REIGNS TEAM MEMBERS This is not a drill -- weigh in is TOMORROW!!! Are you all READY? Are you all EXCITED?? You've all worked soooo hard this week -- I'm totally geeked to see your numbers!!! I can't wait to post our results!!!

I'm not sure I like late night exercising :( My Zelly wasn't feeling good tonight -- so after an exhausting trip to wally world and a quick stop for a salad :) I came home and cleaned house and played Dr. Mommy. I was really proud of myself -- I strapped on the HRM and didn't skip one trip up the stairs lol. Usually I just…

Hiya -- the last season of BL that I watched said that shadow boxing was a great upper body workout that burned calories. I have no clue how to do it -- but it sounds fun :)

I'm sooo proud of you guys -- I love reading that we're burning these calories. It's hard sometimes to make time for it. I walked for nearly 2 hours last night -- and if I remember my HRM correctly -- it said 780 calories burned. I used that walking time to catch up on emails and friend requests. I have a 3 year old -- so…

I need some ideas for the Purple Team guys -- I WILL NOT be reduced to calling us "THE BARNEYS" -- I don't care how much I like his raindrop song!!!

I got one at Walmart for about $25. it's the watch kind -- asked for my age and gender -- which is more than my treadmill asked lol -- mine you have to press a button periodically thru out your workout -- and then it calculates my calories burned. I guess the best ones are the chest strap ones -- but they're also super…

No baby yet -- her contractions are about 5-7 minutes apart -- they're gonna hang out at the house for another hour and see if they get closer. She's been walking around and apparently has gone thru the baby's outfits a dozen times lol -- gotta love nesting. Thanks for asking!!! Here's our spread sheet -- via google --…

Ok my fabulous Purples -- I've been schooled in the latest weight tracking technology lol Thanks to Ms jrdoty -- I too have a spreadsheet posted on Google -- I'm really hoping everyone can check it out!!! https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AkN3SRxwQ0EIdHVRUnZKaW1vSkJjMXhvbUMzNFNISnc&hl=en_US I have one…

I just hit 500 calories -- per my hrm -- 1hr 16 min 52 seconds -- but since I'm not done responding to emails n such I'm gonna keep goin :) My treadmill of course says 284 calories burned. so -- if I hedge my bets and walk til the treadmill says 500 calories -- I should be golden right? lol

Just wondering -- has anyone else ever been walking on the treadmill -- when a really good song comes on and you decide that dancing seems like a good option?? I'm totally counting the calories between losing my stride/balance and throwing myself off the treadmill (to escape from falling off , of course) and convincing…

Awesome thread already -- I love reading that we are pushing extra hard to burn the 500 calories. those extra few minutes are gonna pay off come friday!!! Right now I'm a bundle of nerves -- my stepdaughter is in labor, right this very minute. Normally -- I eat. Today I'm going to walk. About 30 seconds after I hit "post…
