The Rise & Fall of Ziggy Stardust & The Spiders From Mars--David Bowie.

I can completely relate to this. Forget about trying to help. If you're having to convince her and drag her along, she's not really ready to do anything about being overweight. I've been doing this with my mom for ages to no avail. I agree with the poster who said to "tell her to watch her calories and macros and get some…

Getting off caffeine effectively goes like this: start drinking black tea instead of coffee, then green tea instead of black. Takes a couple of weeks, but you will avoid the terrible headaches this way.

Oxy Elite Pro (thermogenic) Mix One Protein Kelp (iodine/micronutrients for thyroid health) Super Energy Plus (B vitamins/ginseng, etc.)

I started in April 2011, and I've lost 40 pounds since then. It's taken me a long time, and I'm not real sure why. I'll have months (like March and July of this year) where I don't really do anything different that what I've been doing and I miraculously drop 7 pounds in a month. Then there's the rest of the year when my…

Damn! You look great!

You look amazing! So tell us how you did it, pretty lady!

I replaced all bread with Orowheat Sandwich thins--only 100 calories! And lots of fiber.

White girl with a big butt and boobs that left me when I started working out. 5'6", 150 lbs. Size 12 pants, size s/m tops. BMI 24ish.

If your gym has classes, do that first. Instructors will teach you a lot of great exercises and good form. Look for something like a total body conditioning class. OR, even better, if your membership gives you access to the trainer, use it, and the trainer can show you those very important form tips.

Total hottie. TEN.

Have you tried regular inversion therapy? I have had slipped disc issues off and on for a long time, and this is the only thing that seems to work--almost instantly. You can get an inversion device to use at home, and they are very effective. They work to lengthen your back, and create space between the vertebrae so that…

It's fun to watch all of Star Trek on Netflix and all of The X Files on Netflix and then compare their view of "otherness". Word.

I hate that The X Files was cancelled 11 years ago. If the truth is out there, why ain't you gettin' it? Huh? Gimme some truth.

People think the ol' 69 position is hot. I say, why do I want your whozit thrust in my face while your nose is up my whatnow? Not sexy. Just gross, and mostly the go-to "adventurous" thing to do by folks with no imagination.

You may be a widow, but you've still got a good sense of humor. Yes, you're fiance dying IS THE biggest C***block ever. I am sorry for your loss, but that's a damned funny way to say it!

Because I've watched too many episodes of Law & Order Special Victims Unit.

This too.

My experience has been that guys only interested in one thing are interested in me now...my brains seemed to matter more when I was fat.

I agree. Fruit is good. During the summer, I ate watermelon every day because it was fresh, available, and I just love it, and I lost more weight than at any other time during the year. Even those sugary fruits contain good things. Watermelon, for example, contains things like L-arganine which is awesome for metabolism.

That's awesome. Takes so much guts.

Also, is that you in the three day event/show jumping photos? If so, that is absolutely BAD *kitten*, so everyone with boring thoughts about the way other people look can pretty much shove it. Can they do that? I don't think so.

I think you will really like this blog: http://www.baggagereclaim.co.uk/ Also, and I don't want to seem like I'm giving you advice or telling you what to do, but SCREW people who are only interested in you for your body, or interested in criticizing other people's bodies because YEAH, that's really important in this life.…

Fantastic! And your dress is beautiful! I agree with you on the beer thing! Seriously, folks: if you drink beer regularly (even just a couple a week), try cutting it out for a couple of months and see what happens. I lost like 15 pounds in six weeks...and I only drank maybe 4-6 beers in a week, but that was enough to…

Nice ab definition!

I'm in! I can do these when I play frisbee with my dog! Squat to pick up the frisbee!

I'm at 150 now (also 5'6"), but started at 192. I cannot wait to hit 135 or so...we'll so how I feel there. I should take some photos now so that I can have an after photo! There was no way anyone was taking a picture of me when I weighed 192! My current profile pic is at about 160.

As one super model put it: Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels. I like to remind myself of that whenever I'm about to get crazy on a donut.

I think you look great at 130! It's always good to have a goal, but I'm guessing that if you keep toning up, you're going to be happy with your bod without getting down to 120! Looking good!
