It really just depends on your relationship. Getting married to someone just because it's 'the right time" is ridiculous as is people who get married just for the wedding and don't think 3 years down the road. We've been happily married for almost 10 years but we were best friends before that. Obviously our looks have…

Thank you! Are these books or DVDs?

This made me laugh! When I was in high school (fantastic shape) I didn't want to run in PE so I chose weight lifting for my PE credits. I accidentally chose the time with the whole football team. We had to max out on everything and I had to do the squat with the barbell on my shoulders (can't remember the name). I couldn't…

I'll definitely look into it!

I'm assuming rows are like a rowing machine but with the bands? is there a tutorial I can look at? Sorry, I haven't tried anything like this since PE :/

Thank you! My husband does the T25 and he LOVES it! Too much for me at the moment. I need to look into Fitness Blender but the name sounds a bit scary, lol

This looks doable. What I can't do, I can build up to in the forseeable future! Thank you

Thank you all very much! At the risk of TMI, I am power walking (knees all the way parallel)/jogging for 30 minutes each day on the Wii fit but without the thigh gap the friction starts to hurt, lol. I want to keep up the cardio (today is boxing on the wii) but just want to throw in some beginning strength training to…

Nothing? lol

I like my moo cow milk, and cheese (goat and cow), and ice cream, cream cheese, and milk chocolate...and cream soups and screw it, I LOVE DAIRY! I tend to ignore whatever the latest fad is and just eat a balanced diet. Should you eat (drink) milk as your entire diet...probably not but since you are a rational adult and…

This is me personally, but I'd go ahead and have them when you crave them. I figured out that the second I told myself I am dieting or tried to cut food out, I am destined to fail. The truth is, this is a lifestyle change and there is no way in hell I am going the rest of my life without frosting or white chocolate (my two…

Pinterest. I look at all the fashion and fun runs and things I can't have/do right now. I am taking a cruise next year and if I can keep at 2lbs a week, I will be very near my ideal weight when we go. That's my motivation. Knowing it is simply a 2lb a week journey and no one is going to take it for me. I was having…

I agree. If you complicate it too much, you're setting yourself up to fail and let's be honest...who is here because they ate too many bananas?!? As far as your intake, I am consistently under because I won't eat just to 'make up' calories. I eat 3 meals a day and several snacks scattered out so my metabolism keeps…

I suppose it's different for every hospital, but I was in the hospital for a week and my husband was allowed to order the same food as me, to the room and he just paid when they brought it (kind of like room service). You may want to see if they have that option.

Great post and I feel you! I'm OK with calories and not being too hungry but If I hear one more person saying 'just exercise' I will strangle them. So easy to say when you aren't lugging around the weight of another, adult human with you. I want so much to have them strap a 180lb man to their back and tell them to walk…

I have a severe cold this week so I haven't been eating 6 times a day (I will definitely get back on track when this had run it's course) anyhow, did you know there are 15 freaking calories in a cough drop? REALLY?!? That just seems like kicking someone when they're down. I am so treating myself to some mini cadbury eggs…

YAY! I honestly didn't realize there were so many of us on here. Please feel free to add me as a friend. I am in awe of most of you because you are much farther along than me, but I will get there! I haven't exercised the last couple of days even though I intended to because of horrible headaches culminating in the queen…

I'm at the beginning of my lifestyle change so I can't do a lot yet, but I enjoy jogging around WuHu Island on the WiiFit and rowing around the lagoon and boxing in Wii Sports Resort.

WOW! This may sound cliche, but i seriously mean this, YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME! I lost two pounds last night and I couldn't help laughing because I knew I usually retain closer to 5 :happy: . I'm going to try to only weigh in once a week. I was ...I wouldn't say in denial so much as refusing to check to see how bad it had…

That's my husband. He's going with oatmeal for lunch with some dried berries or fresh apple. I am from an island in Florida and let me tell you, our water is so full of added chemicals to make it drinkable it is rank! I grew up here so my taste buds are repelled at the taste of water. I know, I know, bottled water has no…

YAY! There are others, lol. I can relate as I refuse to tell anyone I have started my lifestyle change (I'm trying not to use the word 'diet' because that implies some day I will be off it) because I will be inundated with helpful advice. I know how to do this, I need to just do it. I will mention I started watching what I…

Gummy Bears. On the plus side, I can only eat about 20 before getting sick, but I'd much rather allot some calories to something delicious like a few Cadbury mini eggs or a cupcake
