This is just about the most depressing thing I've read on this forum. I think I will be single forever. My dog loves me and that's all I need.

I never "withheld" sex. I just wasn't in the mood as often as he would have liked. We were still doing it about once a week when I discovered he was cheating. But, in our case it went far beyond the fact that I put on 25 pounds. He also has a porn addiction (which I've known about) so there's that. We always found a way to…

How am I supposed to balance a cocktail when doing ab crunches? :-)

Thank you. Yes, it just showed me how shallow my husband truly was....and is. We've been separated since September and divorce pending. I'd rather be alone than with someone like him. Jerk.

It depends...if it's something crazy or unhealty I might disagree. But if it's just something like "don't eat gluten! gluten is bad!!!" then I say I'm glad that works for you.

I only went once and it wasn't for me. The instructor moved very fast and I am sure was a professional dancer. I had a very hard time keeping up and ended up frustrated. But...that's just me.

I tell the trainers at bootcamp that I have bad knees and can't run. Truth is I just don't like to.

OH my god. I never blamed myself for his cheating but this can't be a coincidence, right? I was married to a very superficial man.

Wow. I just re-read this. Guess what? Five days after I posted this I found out my soon to be ex husband was cheating on me. FIVE DAYS!

You all make very good points. I think being a "mom", taking care of two kids, my husband (soon to be ex) and a dog hasn't left much time for me. Oh...and I've always worked full time. Maybe it just feels strange to focus so much on myself.

Actually the photo is my daughter. She taught our dog to beg. But I get your point.

I needed to cut wine out to get jump started. I only get 1250 calories a day (more when I go to bootcamp) but as a glass of chardonnay has 150 calories that really cuts into my food. So...three days now without wine, and the scale is moving already. As soon as I lose 10 lbs, as a "reward" I'll begin having wine again but…

Yep. I am getting divorced, and on Sunday I stepped on the scale and it was 164. I can only blame the stress of divorce for so long. I am 5'3" and the most I've ever weighed in my life is 159. I swore I'd never be over that. So...I am now getting very serious. Bootcamp twice a week and following the calorie plan. My goal…

LOL...it's not goodbye forever...just until I kick start some weight loss. Wine and I are lifelong friends...

It's interesting...everyone has their vices. For me it's wine...for my neighbor who does bootcamp with me, it's ice cream. Seriously, she has a bowl every night and doesn't care a thing about wine. I on the other hand have not had icecream in years! We're all different.

I am 5'3" and am 159...goal weight 139. I have been 125 in the past, but honestly that weight is too low for my body type (curvy) and too hard to maintain.

LOVE conk, yes fish eyeballs?

LOL!!!

I'm not a dietician or a scientist, but I interpreted the study as not just about calories in calories out. Meaning, if you have a diet that is 1200 calories and high protein, low carb this is more effective in weight loss than a 1200 calorie diet of high carb, low fat. No?

They did say you don't have to cut carbs completely, but it helps to eat better carbs...such as whole wheat pasta as opposed to white pasta. Also they said to stay away from processed carbs- I think that means like a "Lean Cuisine" pizza...? Not sure. OK carbs would be potatoes, corn and veggies that have carbs in them.

One word: Boobs. Mine are 36 D. I have tried every "jog bra" on the market and it still hurts the twins. In bootcamp when we have to run laps, I just fast walk.

This might sound obvious, but have you had your thyroid checked?

It always comes back to bacon......I'm just sayin'

Girl...I do NOT share bacon. You've crossed the line.

Theresa-- I guessed 31 and it was for you...but someone else jumped inbetween...just wanted you to know that . Woof.

YES!!!! And lick her neck too!

31. And when you guess mine, please do so in dog years.

LOL!

I think "BaconBoobies" might be my favorite name
