If you're not over weight anymore people will still find something to insult you. After I lost a lot of weight years ago I no longer received the "overweight girl" insults, I started getting the "blonde bimbo" insults instead. Those hurt just as much, if not more :( Fat girls insult me when I'm thin and thin girls insult…

I pm'ed him to joke and he extensively apologized for posting that thread. He's another male, like our husbands and boyfriends, that's clueless :D Let's drop it. We all know that men love big butts and it has nothing to do with the Kardashian Klan. Same with little butts, big boobs, and little boobs, has nothing to do with…

Agree, I don't give up my old jeans until they are holding on by a thread. They don't make them how they used to. Non-stretch jeans straight of the dryer that perfectly fit... now that is the holy grail of weightloss!

If you are in between plus sizes (12-14) but still want a great pair of non-stretch jeans I suggest Guess jeans. They are thinner in the legs, the waist/butt area runs big and sits flat on the hips/front. Kind of expensive, but they last. Democracy jeans fit the same way but stretchy, I buy mine at Carsons.

I bought my elliptical from Craigslist from a sweet couple. Download the user manual from the internet for free. You can also get one, if you look online, from gyms that are upgrading and selling old equipment in your area. There are some moving companies that are licensed to take them apart and put it back together at…

OP, 6 meals a day is a good suggestion if you are the type of person who is hungry all the time. Keeps you from over eating, consuming correct amount of calories per day. It does not speed up your metabolism (people will tell you this), or any healthier for you to eat 6 compared to 3. If you are happy with 3 meals a day,…

Looking good! We have similar body shape. I am also a runner and have noticed so much difference in my legs already compared to dieting alone. May add in some cycling a couple times a week, per your suggestion, and see how it goes.

I hit like to acknowledge that I read their post. If I have something to say I will comment but I'm not going to put generic "way to go!" unless I talk to that person on a regular basis. I try not to be friends with friend collectors but if they have a great personality I will! If someone just wants to lurk my page I have…

I make that to dip Doritos in :D So good

A chest cold is different than head cold. Bronchitis can become serious if you are in the mist of it, you don't want to be coughing mucas for months if it does. I've always been told that if you are sick below the neck stay home. Exercise raises your body tempature so if you have any kind of fever it will become worse. You…

She came back and said it is for her MD so she needs to log something. Her reply is on the top of the first page.

Bought an elliptical on craigslist, stopped using it because it was hurting my knees! It was the only cardio machine I had so it was frequently used. Suggesting you get something that is versatile like a treadmill where you can adjust the incline and speed so it's not the same motions every day.

I'm sorry you are being treated like this, OP. You asked how many calories you burned, not everyone's opinion on whether or not you should log them, or about your health. Honestly, it is impossible to even guess how many! If it was me I would put 50-100, instead of over estimating.

Thank you so, so much! If you want I can let you know if the milk works

Is all spice similar to pumpkin spice? Assuming I can use 2% milk instead of coconut milk? I want to make these tonight but I'm more of a cook than a baker. I know textures can go wrong if you use the wrong subs. Thank you :)

Only way reply is to Private Message them or reply on their wall.

I live on Mexican take out! I get either: steak tacos with cheese and pico de gallo on corn tortillas or grilled fish tacos with purple cabbage slaw, no cheese, on corn tortillas. I split the beans and rice in half and take it to work the next day with the extra taco. I've never gone over 600 calories doing this. Usually…

^^ ALL of those sound amazing! I never thought of using salsa as a dressing. Op, I use cottage cheese as the dressing. Protein and it's good on salads with fruit (blueberries, raspberries and strawberries with chicken). Just make sure you add it right before you eat or it makes everything soggy. I also use tuna instead of…

I make 2 eggs plus an egg white! lol, that would be too long for one egg

*blonde* :blush:

yup :) I make/reheat instant rice in it, oatmeal, steam veggies, anything. Had it for two years before I realized how useful it is. I actually want to buy another one so I have a spare.

I make microwave eggs every morning, like them because there's no crunchy overcooked edges and super fast to make. I don't use any spray and they come out fine for me. I use this or a big coffee mug walgreens.com/store/c/telebrands-stone-wave-microwave-cooker/ID=prod6203493-product Don't usually buy "Seen on tv" items but…

Sometimes I don't have room in my daily allowance for maple syrup so I need to use a sugar free version with less calories. Doesn't mean I use sugar-free versions everyday or every time I make pancakes. I enjoy pure maple syrup as much as the next person and any other food snob. Working maple syrup in isn't easy, my…

Cranberry Apple pie! tasteofhome.com/recipes/cranberry-apple-pie We make cranberry sauce with crushed pineapple and raspberries in my house. Not as tart as the plain cranberry version and the kids like it better.

I heard mixed reviews on them. I'm been hesitate to spend money on something that will just sit in my cabinet if I don't like it. Maybe I will grab one when I see em on sale, probably the maple syrup. If you are looking for other brands Torani has great sugar free syrups torani.com/

fatty coffee?

Pumpkin spice yogurt is amazing. I tried it last year- Chobani.

coffee :) get nicely caffeinated

Find something you love to do for exercise and nick anything you can't see yourself committing to do on a daily basis. If you like riding your bike find a group or friends to bike with. If the gym ends up boring you and you don't see yourself committing to it, ditch it. Explore a little...try boxing, hiking, swimming,…

Love them for their confidence and/or trying to be confident. Take that as your inspiration to love yourself while you're losing weight.
