Massage your belly in a clockwise motion. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XGwvPoiItw

As a massage therapist, I see many women introducing their husbands or boyfriends to a professional massage. This is something a lot of guys won't do for himself. If you think he is timid about going alone, book a couples massage. I will tell you that 100% of my shy guys who thought that they would not like a massage have…

Loved infinite_sky's answers!

I am a weekly planner, but I have a husband and 2 kids to plan for as well. I find, as others have stated, that going to the grocery store only once a week keeps spending down. Try them both and see which one you like the best!

Coffee is my new best friend! When I get to craving something sweet to eat, I brew a pot of Hazzelnut coffee. Only 5 calories and I am a happy camper. :drinker:

I busted out in ugly dancing just today. My husband thought I was nuts! My kids thought it was fantastic!

^^^ This! This is what happens to you! :noway:

I did it... I was not impressed. I will not be doing it again. It wasn't impossible to do but like what had already been said... I don't think it is necessary unless you are sick or toxic or have some other medical reason other than just to "detox" Good luck with whatever you decide!

Because when I did this a month ago I was not seeing much success on the scales. So I am thinking that I am eating too much. I've heard that diet is 80% of weight loss, with exercise and genetics being the other 20%

I'm a stay at home mom, so I pretty much have all day to eat, lol. I do think that maybe a protein shake may help, and will probably start adding that on days I go to the gym. As far as weight watchers, I really just like going to the meetings. I calculate points most days out of curiosity but usually if I am within my…

Diary is opened, feel free to have a look.

Welcome back! Add me if you like, I can use all the support I can get, and will be happy to add my two cents when needed!

I know that some people do the online weight watchers... I do not do that. I prefer MFP over their online membership. I do however think that attending the weekly W.W. meetings is very important. People laugh when I say its like A.A for Over Eaters, but I am serious when I say that without the constant support from W.W and…

I am! I love doing both! I get the personal attention that I need from the WW meetings as well as all kinds of support and information during the week from MFP. I think the 2 complement each other well!

You can do this! Think of how good you will feel once you achieve your goals!

Make sure you are drinking a ton of water! (2 -3 liters a day) and if you are drinking soda (even diet) then stop it! I don't know how, but if affects your weight loss. I would also focus on keeping you diet clean. If it wasn't created by God, then don't eat it. Me and my husband have been eating clean for 3 weeks now. He…

12 lbs and 10 inches is a big deal! Way to go! You look amazing! :smokin:

Awesome! You look great! :glasses:

Think about how good you feel when you achieve your goals. Don't give up what you really want in the long run for something that is just for right now. Stay focused on your goals and you will feel even better when triumph over those obsticles! YOU CAN DO IT! DON'T GIVE UP!

My diet was HORRIBLE before! I probably have/ had more preservatives floating around in my body than a McDonald's french fry! I was also thinking my body is throwing some sort of fit from this new found way of eating. Thanks for the imput, everybody.

That was a good article. Thanks for sharing. I learned a few things from it too!

I am eating alot more veggies, but nothing I've never had before.

I love this site too! Welcome to the party! :drinker:

you look amazing! great job!

A seaweed wrap! That's what I would do. The seaweed helps draw out toxins and shrinks your skin. PLUS, your skin will be super soft and smooth! Good luck!

I thought TOMs were shoes! :laugh:

what part of the hip? low back area, front/ inguinal area, the actual ball and socket, side, glute area?

Are you drinking plenty of water and watching your sodium intake? Other than that, IDK!

I don't think I would notice. I don't look at peoples friends
