@ horseryder - like I said in my first post, I am not looking for easy. I WANT intense. I just dont want to feel overwhelmed at first.

thanks everyone. Looks like i will be trying 30DS first, and then whenever I get through that I will move on to BFBM. thanks again. :smile:

nom!

I try to eat most of them unless i'm just not hungry. I typically leave 100 at the end of the day just for miscalculations, etc.

I get this a lot too. Its like people cant just be happy that you caught yourself in time, and want to live a healthy lifestyle. I hear a lot of "why do you want to lose weight? you look fine to me" or "are you kidding me?? you are already skinny!" I know I am not fat. But I also know that I had gained 20 pounds since…

the weather can make you sweat, which can clog your pores. make sure you are rinsing every morning and night. :)

I have about 10 more pounds to go. I'll add you and we can do this together. YOU CAN do this! Dont let others bring you down and dont give up. I was feeling kinda "meh" after the holiday weekend and like you said, didnt want to log every bite I took. We just gotta push through these situations and get back on track.

Duac works for me. It is a prescription medication. My face was clear when I was a teenager, but for some reason as soon as I hit 23 it started to break out like crazy. I tried every OTC cream, scrub, and exfoliator out there... nothing worked until I went to my doctor and he prescribed Duac for me. Now I will get a couple…

eat fresh foods! I have no problem keeping it within range on days where I eat fresher. Its when I stray to processed foods that I will go over.

I am noticing a change my my body... definitely around my waist. but it seems like the cellulite on my thighs will never go away. :frown:

main reason why I want to get myself one of those. good luck.

I would never be with anyone who thought I needed to change myself. I have been through abuse in a relationship before, and I will never go there again. My husband loves me for who I am and is constantly telling me I am beautiful.

I have seen a few out there that have a bit of padding to them. I am a large B and have just been using the regular Hanes sports bras. I am new to this and dont have a lot of money to invest in the "good" stuff. So while mine definitely flatten me out, it serves its purpose. Good luck!

if it were me, I would just splurge a little on the cake and make sure to do some exercising later. Maybe try to fill up on some of the healthy snacks so you dont want so much cake. Happy birthday to the little guy! I have the same dilemma coming up. my daughter has a birthday in a couple weeks.

the weight on my drivers license is 125. I was about 21 when I got it renewed and had just given birth and was breastfeeding (which burns TONS of calories and made me way too thin for my liking. I got down to 115! :noway: ) My goal is 130, which is 5 above what my license says. That'll be fine with me. :smile:

NOM!! Thanks!

never actually calculated it, but i'm sure I would faint if I did. eating out mexican, chinese, BBQ, fast food, etc etc at least 4 times a week. eating fattening things late at night, sitting on my butt on the computer all day, eating double and sometimes triple what i needed to eat and getting to the point that I felt…

Lucky for me, I found myself a bad boy (at least he was when we were dating) computer geek. If you want someone to treat you right, marry a geek. They are the best. :heart:

Hi! i'm new too and have the same goal weight as you. I'm also a mom to two kids who keep my busy. :wink:

Thats exactly it for me.. I had been eating horrible. going out to eat 4+ times a week, eating late at night, getting seconds (sometimes thirds) on desserts, emotional eating, boredom eating, the list goes on. All in all I was eating too much of the wrong thing and I need to nip it in the bud now before it gets too out of…

I am a part of a group of women who make printable cards, invites, photo calendars, etc etc. Well, one of my recent clients had a daughter named Araya Sunshine. I giggled the whole way through making her printable.

16 and Pregnant / Teen Mom are my guilty pleasure shows. I have no idea why I watch them, and I am only irritated when they are over. I guess they are like they say about train wrecks... you just cant look away. I am scared of being alone. I used to be an avid Backstreet Boys fan. But with an attempt to keep some dignity,…

I try to exercise more that day to allow myself more calories and try to burn fat. Then I drown myself by drinking 50 bazillion gallons of water the next day to try to flush all the sodium out of my system. ;)

my extra skin has always stayed around no matter how much I weigh. I've tried cocobutter lotions, stretch mark faders, etc etc. I have just given up and look at them as battle scars. My kids gave them to me, and my kids are the most important thing in my life. Its a reminder of what I went through to get where I am today.…

I have two children. my first child, my daughter, was born with VACTERL Syndrome at 33 weeks, weighing 3 lbs 6 oz. She required a trach and ventilator for the first 3 years of her life and is still using oxygen at night while she sleeps. She is also g-tube fed, and is undergoing intense feeding therapy to teach her how to…

to me, general gardening seems like pulling weeds and things like that. I think laying mulch is a lot more than general. Especially if you are breaking a huge sweat doing it.

If its working for you, then more power to ya. I personally dont go bowling on a daily basis, and my activity level is moderately low, so I think bowling would count for me. I do not count cleaning though. I DO count yard work, because that stuff breaks a sweat!

5'4 here. I need to lose about 10-15 lbs.

Stuck in kentucky here, too. ;) Add me if you like. I am trying to lose about 10-15 lbs.
