I tried it for a couple weeks because Friday or Saturday was when bf & I would go out, so I would eat "normally" within moderation. I would have a healthy breakfast, maybe a slice of pizza with garlic bread and a SMALL soda for lunch, then wherever he wanted to take me for dinner. I wouldn't gorge myself, but it was…

I think you could stand to gain weight... so I would suggest what another poster said, back off on cardio and increase your weight lifting. You will build muscle that will in turn burn off the fat around your middle, and you might be okay gaining lbs of muscle once your spare tire is gone. :happy: Good luck!!

NuvaRing. Put it in for 3 weeks, leave it out for a week for your period or skip your period and start a new one, after your period, put a new one in for another 3 weeks. Works like a charm. No remembering to take the pill, no forgetting. All you need is a reminder on your phone after 3 weeks to take it out, and another a…

Since it's summer and SO hot in Texas (not recently - but usually), I typically just wear eyeliner on top, in my waterline, and mascara only on the outer edges of my lashes. I never wear powder or foundation, and haven't since I was probably 16 or so, just because it makes me break out, and I don't have the time, energy,…

Nope. In the beginning when I started, that was true...then my body got used to eating good things and I could only lose weight if I ate really clean. I'm the same way now, which is why I'm avoiding certain foods because I actually want to lose weight!! lol I will still allow myself a treat, but not until I get back into…

Wow, you look great - big difference!! Way to go for sticking it out! :happy:

You look gorgeous!! Great job. I love the change in your hair as well. :happy:

Check what you're eating before. Maybe you are running harder or longer and not fueling up well enough before. Eat complex carbs (like oatmeal) before a run/jog because they digest slower, which means they give you energy longer than simple carbs (such as a banana). Also see if you're drinking enough water. If you're not…

Wow, girl!!! Amazing. :happy:

In August of 2009 where we both worked. We've been together since.

I never lose weight the same way. Especially because I haven't worked out the exact same each time I've lost weight. If you're lifting, or doing more of one exercise, you could be targeting different muscles than last time, and therefore, your body looks different. A yoga body is much different than a runner's body -…

I'm a quarter-inch shy of 5'4", but I have a medium frame, starting at about 177, and am hoping to get down to 140.

I drink it. Lately I've been sticking to wine or stuff I can make at home. They say the clear stuff is better for you but the darker stuff (higher calories) will get you drunk more - so if you're going for less, and more punch, go dark - amaretto, whisky. I usually stick to vodka cranberry when out because they're usually…

THIS.

I struggle with fitting in workouts and still spending time together. He usually doesn't feel like working out the same time as I do (or at all), so when I go over there, I don't want to take time away from him by working out if he won't do it with me, so I just don't do it.

Ew. I would never offer advice or take advice. No one approaches me except maybe to ask how to use a specific machine. Though if they look like they're struggling, I'll show them how to use it. But that's it.

unsweetened green tea lemonade or skinny white chocolate mocha frap or skinny caramel macchiato when it's cold.

You're looking great! Can't wait 'til my belly is flat and abs are getting defined. Keep up the great work!!

Wow, you look great! Congrats!

I don't like them because they look fake and look firm... but I really don't know.

The rude lady in the gym was you, right?

You are hungrier because you are working harder which means your metabolism is working harder. If by eating more, you will go over your calorie limit... you need to do a couple things: if you're not wearing a heart rate monitor, wear one. You could be needing more calories based off this. Rethink your food options. Eat…

You can't get bigger, but if you do lots of squats and lunges, it will get rounder. :happy: And rounder is better than big sometimes!

haha We talk about it constantly because he weighs himself a lot because it's his new "thing". He's started to eat less in the last few months so he likes to make sure he's in a certain area. So I'll joke and be like, "Wow, only 7 lbs heavier than me!" or something similar to that.

Wow, you look fabulous, and I love that you did everything gradually! That's what worked for me in the beginning 'til I got sidetracked. :\

My boyfriend cannot throw away a box of food he finishes for his life. When I first went to his house when we first started dating, I would pick up boxes in the freezer, thinking they had food in them, and they were empty. Empty hot pocket boxes, empty pizza bread boxes. It was confusing and I still don't get it. His…

I have a cheap Walmart brand one that was like $15. I put a dumbbell on it to check for accuracy, and it's 2 lbs off, so when I weigh, I have to add 2 lbs to my weight. That's how you know it's accurate, lol.

It's very comfy since it's seersucker, and last weekend I got LOTS of compliments. :happy:

No need to judge, people. Many cultures have been polyamorous. Just because ours isn't too keen on it, doesn't mean it's wrong for her. It wouldn't bode well with my mister and myself, because we're very emotional (and jealous) people, but to each their own. I hope you and your mister (and your misters) are happy.

dallas, texas right here baby!
