This may sound dumb, but can you explain those numbers to me? I see many people write stuff like 5x5, 4 x 8 x 75 lb, etc. I'm assuming it mean 4 sets of 8 reps with 75lbs?

Wow. Thanks so much!!! :)

Endurance.

I've been there. :( It was about 12 years ago, but I still remember how it felt. The best advice I can give you is to know this is something good you are doing for your dog. We don't want our loved ones to suffer and you are ending the suffering. It doesn't make the pain of loss any less, but it helps a with the process to…

Great Abs! A 10 for abs!!! :)

Completely agree with this!

Uh......the worst that can happen is she falls in love with him, gains weight for some reason and then gets her heart broken. ;)

True, maybe he just wasn't attracted to you before. And that's ok. But what if you gain weight? You already know he isn't attracted to you with extra weight. And weight gain can happen for many reasons beyond your control. That could be a major problem. You shouldn't be in a relationship where you have to worry about those…

Don't feel badly or worry too much. I recently had some hormone issues and ate tons of junk over the period of a week. And I mean chocolate bars, candy, etc. I went crazy! It cost me only one pound, yet, I thought I would gain five. I seriously beat myself up badly with guilt for nothing. We are only human. And treats are…

I think you're so wrong. And definitely need to look up the definition of a back handed compliment. It's just like someone else said on here, it's the same as "you look great, for having a baby". It would have made me feel terrible. And I certainly couldn't date someone after they said that to me. So, all this guy would…

I totally understand where you are coming from and I empathize with how you feel. However, trust me, being in the "100s" doesn't automatically make one feel good about themselves. I was 268lbs. and am now 168lbs. And I can tell you that most days, I still feel awful about my body. For most people, the journey isn't just…

Would love to hear it. What are you not looking for?

Um, how is 5'8, 153lbs and a size 8 even remotely a "bigger size"? I'm 5'10, 168lbs. and a size 14 and I am of 'normal weight'. I'm confused by this. :-/ I couldn't ever achieve a size 8. I was really skinny at one point and even that was only a size 10.

To the beach!!! I have always loved the beach and the water but have avoided going for 8 years. My kids want to go so badly every summer but I just don't have the confidence or ability to mentally survive that. It's not only the fact that I would feel gross and embarrassed in a bathing suit, but it's how crushed I feel…

Ok, I'm really confused. Photoshopped? What makes you think that? I'm really familiar with how to use Photoshop but can't figure out why you would think this?

I don't like the first one as it's not flattering. But the pink one is HOT!!!!! Totally wear that one out of the backyard! :) And I wouldn't worry about the baby body, you look amazing. Besides, with great boobs like you have, no one will notice.

How come you're eating 1600 calories? That seems pretty high. My calorie consumption is 1300 or so. Also, you don't need to be eating back your exercise calories. I actually recommend not to. Although, I know many people disagree with that. Yet many also agree with me. I personally don't lose weight when I eat back those…

If a guy treated me that way, I'd knock all his teeth out.

Thanks. :) I looked at women my height and weight and can't believe it. They look so great, yet, I see nothing similar when I look at myself. Then again, I'm sure that's because of the extra skin I need removed.

Wow. I'm actually speechless.

WOW!

I'm just happy I don't see Britney Spears on this list. lol Good people. :)

Oh wow. Reading The Beatles sent a shiver down my spine. They were before my time (born in 1980) but were my dads favorite and always mine. Lennon solo is my favorite artist ever. If only I could go back in time. :)

Oh wow. Paul McCartney would be a dream for me. :)

Eddie Murphy's birthday is today actually. lol April 3rd.

March 6th. Shaquille O'Neal, D.L. Hughley, Tom Arnold, Rob Reiner, and Alan Greenspan. The Rob Reiner's cool! :) I love movies.

You can use fresh fruit to flavor your water as well. You can also use Crystal Light. They are made to be added to water. ;) Tea is also another option if you enjoy it. Green Tea especially is a great health benefit, plus, you get the water intake.

Great job!!! It's taken me 325 days to lose 32lbs, so your progress is very impressive! :)

The harsh truth... You can't wait for motivation to come knocking on your door. Cause you'd be in for a really long wait. :) Not many people wake up with a new burst of enthusiasm for exercise and healthy eating. Like Nike says "Just Do It". It's because motivation follows action, not the other way around. Thinking it does…
