  • Thanks guys! I'm just dumbfounded I did that. I have IBS too so hamburger is like the worst! Gonna stock up on some frozen chicken breasts tomorrow! Also I have 370 calories left. It was not that good of an eating day. Really thanks guys! I am gonna eat so clean tomorrow. Big hugs!

  • I have some amazing pets! 1 pug, Bellatrix. She is going to be 1 year in 4 days. 2 exotic shorthair cats, brother & sister, Sebastian & Tallulah, they are almost 3. Here are the cats and Bellatrix is in my signature. I would have an entire menagerie but we just don't have the space! Maybe someday :)

  • LOL It's a t-shirt from our friend's bachelorette/hen party. Her name is "Bonnie Jeanne" so BJ. The back of the shirt explains it but I promise you we went on an airplane with those on and out at night. No one really felt the need to read the back. lol
  • Hi from Friday morning on the other side of the world! I'm very tired though, got woken up by a cat standing on my head. Very demanding little thing. Now I'm having my coffee checking out the message boards. Maybe try and see if there are people in this hemisphere you can make friends with-might make night shift a bit more…
  • Shin splints go away! CONGRATS on losing 20 lbs. That is fantastic, keep it up and you've added years to your life and your heart is so happy for you right now :) Zumba is NOT easy but good for you to try it out. I'm sure you'll be ready for it real soon. Here is a 10 minute cardio kickboxing workout you can do till you…
  • Congratulations that is such a great feeling! I bet you look awesome too :)
  • This response made me think of this picture: You can see that the 20 lbs may not be coming off your outside only! Also, make sure you are watching your sodium intake and not bloating. Are you working out?
  • I agree with both sides :) It is a bit of a leading question to say "is it beneficial to join a gym?" because well, yes, it is. The classes, the equipment, the learning, the comradarie, but mostly (for me) it is the getting out of the house and being somewhere where the only things I can do are workout and... workout.…
  • You look amazing! Especially: YOUR FACE!, your collarbones, your waist, your arms, and your legs! DANG GIRL! You can be all... "I'm not sorry I look so good!"
  • At my TOM I feel very tired and I can eat for hours. I usually want carbs and chocolate. Here is what I've "collected" to keep me sane these last few years: Go to bed early (9pm is early for me) Eat more and drink more water Lots more iron rich foods like dark greens and meat I have started running and that helps so much…
  • Last one cause I'm going to bed. YOU'RE WELCOME!
  • Ok ok ok... how about this?!
  • Sorry had to bury Beyonce out of fairness! My .gif skills failed me!
  • Really?! I thought it was a little obnoxious and drag queenish! Let me look ::::dives back into her folder of .gifs:::
  • BREAKIN' (Ozone, Turbo, Special K!) I loved this movie when I was little http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rq5_bHIEcEQ
  • Oh alright then...
  • Yes. Dream granted. You are welcome.
  • I seriously spent my entire afternoon having a horrible tummy ache (from too much dairy :frown:) and fix my signature! Took a long time! Yours looks great.

  • These are great, I can't believe no one has posted this yet. I kind of love it!
  • Uhhh slow down the train a tad... my BF isn't a great disciplinarian and I won't get into it here- but basically he has a lot of guilty Dad stuff going on. I don't discipline (except to say "pick up your towels off the floor") and the few times he has had to "lay down the law" it has been not the way I would have, but I…
  • Arguing with a personal statement in matters like this is a bit like bringing a watergun to a sword fight, agreed! All I will say is, I work with special needs children and one of the students has epilepsy and she is on this diet. She needs the diet to help reduce her seizures. If this poor girl is using this diet to…

  • All of life has positive and negative aspects, with Step-parenting it's unfortunate that most of the media/public at large focus on the negative but I think that is changing (as society is changing too). I have two "step" sons (what a weird phrase)! I am not married to their father but we have lived together for 2 years. 2…
  • Maybe watch your menstrual cycle and see if it correlates. I know when it's around my lady time I get ravenous. Disgustingly. Ravenous. I prepare by making HUGE suppers (healthy ones) and eating the leftovers for lunch instead of my regular 1 carb-2 veg/fruit-2 protein. Combo. Lifesaver. It might also be your not giving…

  • Its at my gym 2x a week but its free. I wish they had it more. I think there are some zumba videos online? Maybe you could incorporate those? It is a great burn!
  • Yep! I'm wondering if it's more of a confidence issue or a lack of knowledge on gyming? If your issue is that you are self-conscious about your image I can tell you till I'm blue in the face that no one is gonna give a hoot (since they are there to work out on themselves) and most gyms/people at gyms I've been to have been…
  • Originally from Chicago, IL USA but through a long and sordid love affair that continues to invade my heart and soul everyday, oh and steal the blanket every night, I now live in Johannesburg, South Africa. AYOBA! Add me :)
  • Wow I can tell by your responses that you are really open and ready for this! That attitude can get you to your finish line! Don't let the road bumps get you down and if you fall get back up! I've recently added more weight training to my routine to keep it varied and it has literally boosted my fitness by at least 50%. I…
  • This gets me to my finish line every time. My legs are strong, my mind is catching up slowly :tongue:
