5'6" 168 size 10 jeans

No hard feelings here. Just a little bitter since this is only 2 weeks fresh on my end. I know there are many wonderful men out there who are perfectly happy and attracted to the woman of their dreams. My husband IS the man of my dreams. However, he has chosen another path right now. I am just not ready to let him go and…

I forgot to mention that my face is much prettier than hers :smile:

ok, here's a different take on what a guy wants... My husband (planning to be EX) would "gently encourage" me to exercise and lose weight. At my heaviest I was a size 14 (now a 10 and still losing) and well proportioned for 5'6". He is super fit, looks awesome, works out like crazy, etc. Then came along "Patti", she is…

I just remind myself that the pain is temporary and push through....it only hurts for a few minutes really

I am with you on this one. I too, get the comments of "you don't need to lose weight" or "you're skinny enough". I know that I have a ways to go. I am 5'6" and 168 currently. I also live in San Antonio (one of Americas fattest cities). Therefore, just because the norm here is "fat", doesn't mean I have to be the norm.

I am having the same problem. Yeah! However, my husband and I are separated and he is planning a divorce. I still don't want to take them off :(

Just a word of encouragement. I have run/walked several 5k and 10k's. However, I set a lofty goal last year to do the 1/2 marathon here in San Antonio in November 2010. I trained off and on. I was not trying to lose weight at that time and was probably close to 185lbs (a good 50 overweight). However, I committed to doing…

I'm in, let's do this! For April, I have lost 11.6lbs. So, here's to another great month of weight loss. SW as of today: 168.4

NSV = non scale victory

Glad to hear that you (and I) are doing this the healthy way. I have 3 pts tonight, average age 43, average weight 135kg (and they are not tall), they are all in IICU with some condition that a healthy weight/lifestyle could have prevented. I know that even at my weight, I am at risk of certain medical problems. I don't…

just work nights like me and sleep in the daytime :)

I am suprised they sent you home. I am an ER/ICU RN and most new onset Afib patients get admitted. Make sure and follow up with a cardiologist. AND...if you notice it come on while exercising, STOP! and get to a doctor (preferably not by driving yourself). It may never happen again and then again it may. Afib can occur out…

I missed checking in this week but lost 5.4lbs! woohoo! SW: 176 CW: 170.4 I will check in this week and get back on the list :)

Ok, I am know I am way late but I did well this week... 3/10: 190 3/31: 180 4/7: 178 4/14: 176 4/21: 170.4 4/28: 5/5: GOAL 170 5/12: 5/19: 5/26: 6/2: 6/9: GOAL 157

I like the stationary bike as well (my knees can bother me if I do too much on the treadmill). I like the encouragement that MFP gives me by telling me how many calories I burned (yes, it is sometimes greater than what the machine says). However, I never enter my height, weight, and age in the bikes at the gym. MFP knows…

I am an RN working 7p-7a 3-4 shifts a week. I make sure to get up around 3pm and go straight to the gym. Then a quick health supper. I have no energy after work. I fall right asleep when I get home.

You can do this! We all can, if we stick together. We have to find our own strength and sometimes that is hard. I'll send you a friend request. I think the more the merrier because the motivate and encourage you.

I am almost ashamed to admit this but....Ke$ha's Tik Tok and Party at a Rich Dude's House I am twice her age and it is so not like me but it gets me moving.

Well............come to find out, not only is he unhappy with our marriage (for some time now) but he has been having an affair with a girl from work (we work together) for the last 2 months. I am dying inside! I have screamed, yelled, cried and then started all over again. I went 36 hours (2-12hr night shifts) and a day…

I thought about doing it but just didn't because I didn't have enough time to stop and sign up and weigh in. However, I workout at Lifetime 6-7 days a week and would be happy to encourage you :)

RN since 1997, mostly ER, however, I transferred to critical care float pool 2 1/2 years ago. I love learning. I have my first balloon pump tonight (silly but proud...an ER nurse can learn new tricks). I never know where I am working until I get to work and check in. So, I try to plan ahead and bring my lunch (and snacks)…
