I have had the urge many times to go up to a hot guy and tell him he is ruining the view with his baggy pants. It's NOT attractive. I don't know any women that actually LIKE the look. I also don't like aggressive drivers. It's not all about you either.

Good advice. Shoot an email to fitbit.

“Don’t wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions. So what. Get started now. With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident and more and more successful.” ~Mark…

P.S. You are doing FANTASTIC! I love how you recognize the benefits you've already gained.

“There’s a difference between interest and commitment. When you’re interested in doing something, you do it only when circumstances permit. When you’re committed to something, you accept no excuses, only results.” ~Unknown First of all, 100 days in is an excellent start on the commitment battle. The real reality though…

I think I am gonna make this today. I have all the ingredients.

Yay!!!

Remember that the real vacation is spending time with your family. Let them enjoy the foods in excess and you pick them in moderation. Eat slowly and enjoy their company. Let that be what the time together is truly about. Pick and choose what you will splurge on. If something is truly your absolute favorite, go ahead and…

Here are some tips: Put your goal at maintenance level Go ahead and log (to get into the habit of it) Add some exercise to balance it out Skip the free foods they put out that do not come with your meal. (I don't know if they do this in the UK). Definitely think about portion control Avoid over snacking Plan some active…

This is exactly what I was trying to point out. I may have liked my other phone for the physical keyboard but the bottom line is the apps.

I haven't had an android based phone in several years so my review may be outdated. The main difference between the two for me lies in the phone store. The last I looked, the iPhone had better choices for apps, cleaner, clearer, and prettier. It depends on what you use your phone for. I think the iPhone has better choices…

Same for me except to a different country, my downfall is sweets (especially chocolate), got a much more active social life and I gained 22lbs. I didn't care the first year. It stayed stable and wasn't going up anymore so I was enjoying myself. Now I have decided that vacation mode is over and I can enjoy this place even…

:laugh: As you can see from my multiple posts, I am a wordy bird. You are free to not read it if it motivates you to get up and move. After all, that was the point anyway. :bigsmile:

There are days I don't want to do my workout. Then I remembered my promise to myself. Certain things can get me out of a workout (sick, etc.) but I told myself I am never allowed to skip because I don't want to, I'm tired, or poor time management. II talk myself through my promise as needed. One day I was under extreme…

...and that made me laugh! Ha!

I have been strongly motivated for 8 months and counting but 8 months ago I had this epiphany. Basically I realized that the only thing stopping me was my own mental block. I decided if other people in worse physical shape can do it, the only thing that really hindered me was ME. Here are a few quotes I want to leave you…

I can read lips. I can even look in the rearview mirror and catch the basics of whatever you are talking about. Nothing is ever truly private as long as there are eyes around.

You can hide your veggies too. (I'm a mom so I have to be crafty sometimes). For example, spaghetti already contains tomato sauce and diced tomatoes but it also hides the rest of the veggies pretty well too. I dice up zucchini, eggplant, carrots, onions, squash, olives, etc. My boys never knew the difference until one day…

I'm a chocoholic. I have learned to limit it to 2-3 pieces (not bars) per day. Some days I manage to skip it, but that took awhile of restricted access before I got to that point. Recently I challenged myself to 7 days without chocolate. I never planned to give it up and I didn't but I wanted to prove to myself I can…

Awww... I'm sorry you didn't get any down time. You sound better about it though. Do take care of yourself and do find time for yourself too. It's important.

I was doing the ones on the knees for months and it just didn't help me graduate towards a full push up. I switched to a different plan. I started with wall then incline then push ups. Within weeks I was doing it!

I was gonna suggest the 5 Love Languages as well. It sounds like from your post you may potentially be missing each other's signals. As for the birthday, my recommendation is to simply tell him your birthday is coming up. Start talking about it. He may never be one to remember it. Don't let that drive a wedge or ruin your…

I took 5 weeks off from weight lifting because I was visiting other countries. I came back and had to rebuild some strength gains. It took nearly 3 weeks (session from 2 days ago) to finally beat my previous personal record on just two of my exercises. Today I made several more new personal records. I'm back on track! I…

How did your day off go?

I need a cook. Period.

Definitely! Exercise does not have to be isolated to a gym!

My sister has been through this. Temporary lasted two years. Another thing that is harder is all the extra paperwork, agencies, etc. involved that most of us don't have to deal with. Find a routine that works for you (not talking diet here) and just do the best you can. Diet wise, I suggest making a weekly menu. It'll help…

First of all, you are being much too hard on yourself. Whereas most parents get 9 months to prep for parenthood, you were thrown into it suddenly and with a double. Instead of trying to do everything as well as you were doing before, focus on a small change and add from there. It's gonna take awhile to get on your feet.…

Sometimes I will stall for several weeks then suddenly get a big whoosh. Weight loss is not linear.

Recently I went into a store and a woman who looked to be in her upper 20's grabbed the size she thought I needed. She even looked at multiple tags until she picked the one she handed me to try on. She grabbed a size 14! I had to chuckle a bit and quietly I just said, "actually I wear a 6." If a grown woman, in retail can…
