I get migraines as well. For me, they seem to be mostly hormonal and sleep related. Sometimes, though, I get thrown a curve-ball and allergies will trigger them. I know it's going to be a bad day when I wake up and already hurt. :explode: I usually gulp down a bunch of water with a dose of advil migraine or advil sinus &…

I usually say "Nah, I'm good... I don't want it." :happy: If they persist, I repeat. Usually they'll go about their business. A few of my friends are the worst about being "food pushers", but they usually back off when I stand my ground and insist that I don't WANT it. :bigsmile:

Fabulous!!! It's so inspiring to see other's successes!! :heart:

Bump! I'm always on the hunt for good protein shakes. :happy:

Bump :happy:

At 7:45 a.m.?? In bed. I'm not much of an early bird. :laugh:

Very informative. Just what I needed to hear right now. :happy:

Working through the prep schedule right now! :happy: My stamina seems to increase with every workout. Woohoo!!! :bigsmile:

Bump... so I can come back to it later. :heart: :flowerforyou:

Great thread! :drinker: I wasn't sure where to measure my chest, but now that I know...... :wink: I use the scale, the tape measure, the way my clothes fit, pictures, how I feel, etc. to determine my progress. It all matters. You always know when you're not at your best. I love feeling and seeing positive changes (however…

Been wondering about this as well. :happy:

The whir of the a/c kicking on, the aquarium, the TV and the kettle on the stove warming slowly.:happy:

Holy cow patties!!! Absolutely fantastic! :happy: *tries to pick her jaw up off the floor, but it keeps falling back down there*

Fabulous job!!!! :flowerforyou:

I would say... that due to my weight fluctuating so much lately I weigh myself several times a week. Kind of in between daily and weekly. :happy: There are days when I'll weigh more than once in the day, but mostly less than daily and more than once a week. :blushing:

Ooooooooooooooooh.... so THAT'S what's happening. :blushing: I was wondering why I tended to get squishy-er when I stuck to my workouts pretty good. LOL! That's great info to know, I'll keep at it then!! :heart: :heart: :drinker:

:smile: I've tried them time and again. For some reason they don't work for me... hahaha! :laugh:

What about Rockies? Are those considered "mom jeans" ?? :wink:

Guess I'm just stuck with "mom jeans" then.:tongue: I can't stand the ginormous gap on the lower back on those low waist pants. (I have a LOT of junk in the trunk and a smaller waist which creates a HUGE gap... can't afford to have them tailored and doing it myself would yield silly looking results.. Lmao!!!) The pockets…

Just bought some organic chia seeds yesterday. I just used some in my morning shake. :happy: We'll see what happens.

-Mine too!!! Can't stand it. If you MUST hover... then PLEASE take the time to wipe off the seat because believe it or not, your aim isn't as good as you think it is! LOL! -Another annoyance... when people put their poopy/bloody toilet tissue in the trash can instead of flushing it! :sick: Gross! No one wants to see/smell…

Yes!! Would like to go back to a C or a full B. It's so hard to find DECENT bras that fit CORRECTLY in bigger sizes. For example... like 34D... not an easy size to find in the type of bra that I wear... places like Target and Walfart don't carry that size that I've seen, you'd be lucky to find a 36D... besides, all the…

Mmmm! I do that sometimes. A nice warm cup of green tea with nothing else in it or just a smidge of honey is what I go for. It does seem to help when I do drink it. Maybe I should do it more often... ~giggle~ :laugh:

I tend to do the same late in the evening. :grumble: I'm liking a lot of the ideas mentioned here! (they may help me as well... teeheehee) :heart: :heart: :heart:

I know for me... if I consume too much sodium my body will react by retaining water. :sick: I also feel sluggish. (and sometimes will go "on the hunt" for something sweet to counter the salty... Oops! :embarassed: ) Usually, an increased water intake will help the body to flush out the extra water. :drinker: Some people…

Yup. Even at my current weight of 214 lbs. :happy: I do have lots of stretch marks on my tummy, but wear it anyway for hubby. :heart:

Oh! Conda!!! :explode: She frustrated me to no end! LOL!! I was hoping they would realize what she was doing and send her home, but they never did. Oh well. I love watching both shows. :heart:

5'5" hoping to hit 140... with 135 my "ideal" weight according to BMI, I'm sure 140 would look good too. I'm just trying to get healthy. :heart::bigsmile:

Never had it done. How would one go about finding a good, reliable & safe place?

Agreed!! :happy:
