I do this too -- it's my "What I should have said" moment. So if we're nuts -- at least we're in good company :)

i did 2 days of 30ds last week and again last night -- gonna try to stick to my guns this time and not be swayed off exercising nightly lol I wanted to burn more calories -- so the first night I walked after doing level 1 -- felt fine then next day. 2nd night I was running really behind and didn't get my work out in till…

That's awesome!!! Way to go everyone!!!!

Every bit of your hard work shows -- you were beautiful before -- and now you're simply stunning!!! I can't believe how much bigger your eyes look and your smile is wider!! Thank you Thank you Thank you for posting these!!!

I don't agree that she's not judging -- and I do think she's saying that its a greater struggle for her to maintain and lose a few lbs here and there than for anyone else. I think that she's a bit attention seeking with the intent of further dividing skinny peeps from fat peeps. And she definately deserves credit for her…

First.... please don't take my response as a bashing. I promise it is not meant that way at all. I think most people who are overweight feel that they've struggled longer/harder than someone who is not severely overweight for several reasons. 1. There is constant pressure on us from several directions to lose weight --…

Name....................Starting Weight.........6/3............6/10.........For the week ...........Total Racmac......................144 .........................................................................................:glasses:…

For us it depends on how the groceries are holding out. In the beginning of our two week cycle -- I make my own rice dinners -- sometimes with veggies -- sometimes an egg -- sometimes meat -- and I'll make them whatever. Closer to the end of the two weeks -- I have to eat what they eat -- just try to have smaller portions…

I think it varies for everyone -- for me -- I'm starving 24/7 1st 3 days --- then -- no matter how much exercise I get --- my weight goes up approx 2lbs the first day and stays there till my cycle ends.

SW - 223.5 lbs Week 1 - 221.6 lbs Week 2 - 219.2 lbs Week 3 - xxx lbs Week 4 - xxx lbs Total lost - 4.3 lbs it's been a not so great weekend food wise :( I know I'm not going to like Monday's peek at the scales -- but I know what I need to do to get back on track!!! Have a great week everyone!!

Happy Birthday chicadee!!!

I'm 5' -- 219 lbs 33 years old -- based on my HRM -- I burned 319 calories for 30 minutes (I started the time when I hit play -- ended it after the last stretch... I added 30DS - Level 1 to my exercises last night -- not sure if it puts it in the database or not. I tried using the circuit training option and it was way off…

My texture issues involve tapioca, orange juice with pulp, and Jello salads. I can't stand fish eyes even though I like the taste of the pudding. If I take a drink of orange juice with pulp -- I will gag and spit it out, I can't even swallow it. and I won't even attempt to eat jello salad. I like doritos on my bologna…

I picked one up @ wally world for around $25. It's probably not the most accurate out there -- but at least it asked for my age which is more than my treadmill did lol. As for logging -- I wasn't sure about 30 DS - so I made one that says 30 DS -- Level 1. I know every one will burn calories different -- but even when I…

Tiffy -- you said Bonkers -- remember those candies?? We use to eat these strawberry ones. I remember by Grandma chasing me with a flyswatter and whiskey bottle when I was maybe 8 -- saying I was trying to kill her because one was stuck to her pillow and she was allergic to strawberry. Sorry -- random memory :blushing: But…

I kinda agree -- I think there's alot of "this is what I WANT to look like" pictures. which is is fine -- it's a motivational tool for that person. and the ones that have celebrities, avatars, cartoons, animasl -- I think it gives the rest of us a glimpse of their personality. I personally prefer to see who's who. I really…

I think they're tastey :) Or maybe that's just me being a fat chick?

[/quote] "it is because of my friends here like you tiffy and sommerjo that keep me going. i feel like ya'll have helped me so much with encouraging words and such that i would not want to let anyone down here. i want to feel like I can inspire a few people here to achive what I have and feel that i got this feeling."…

Her "snack" fits into my daily calorie intake goal -- it was 968 calories. I'm at 1200 -- granted -- it doesn't leave much room left unless all she eats, when the OP isn't looking, is celery lol. But she's under AND she's exercising so she probably has a higher allowance for the day. Some people calorie constric without…

I know this is an old thread but just came acrossed it -- and had to share mine in case someone needed a smirk. I used to be a counselor for adults with mental illness. I had this one client with the biggest boobs you've ever seen. She was very proud of them and dressed to show them off. Well -- we were talking about her…

I'm a smoker and I promise my panties are right where they need to be :bigsmile: I take a break when ever I want to. I walk out -- take a few puffs -- stub it out come back in. I've worked places where no smoking was allowed -- I smoked on the way -- smoked at lunch -- and on the way home. The only comments ever made to me…

I haven't heard that one yet -- but yes. Not so long ago when I would force myself to really look at my body -- I would alway end up saying "I effing hate you!!" to my reflection. Fast foward to last night -- and mind you -- I'm not seeing a whole lot of change in my body -- but I feel better. Turning this way and that --…

I'm 5' with shoes on. I always considered my self as tall as I needed to be since both my feet reached the floor -- so long as I was standing up. HUGS HUGS HUGS to all my fun size peeps!!!

You guys are scaring me!!! LOL I'm heading out tonight to get the 30 DS. I'm not a huge fan of Jillian's but I love the workouts. I'm (thankfully?) not OCD so I probably wouldn't even notice some of these issues -- but I don't think it's a matter of jealousy (quite harsh to say IMHO) to notice them. Kudos to all of you for…

Ummmm -- I possibly don't like what you said here. It seems to me you're suggesting that slim men are with big women because they don't care what the opposite sex look like. When I think the reality is there are some men (more than I ever imagined) that actually find big women very physically attractive and sexually…

Wow!!! you'd think he could carry some baby wipes in his kilt purse (sporran) :huh:

Honey -- I don't think that's what he's saying. It's not about ugliness -- it's about willingness. It's the idea that a fat chick has low to no self esteem and gives it up just to not be alone.

it's a pattern of behavior not an off hand comment. He's not pointing out -- "hey honey -- you've gained some weight and I'm worried about your health". The words she used were "fat" and "gross" and embarrassed to be seen with you". And what a skewed perception -- she gained some weight having HIS kids. We're not talking…

Wow!!! You look amazing!!!

Wow!!! If at 135 and 5'2 -- my hubbie complained that I was fat and gross -- they'd be scraping his remains out of a wood chipper. As for drunk and telling the truth -- some people think that's the case....
