Maybe you could sit her down for a nice dinner one night and tell her you'd like to discuss something. Especially since you work long hours it's unfair for you to have to come home and do chores when you've been playing the bread winner all day. She is a SAHM so she needs to realize that her job is taking care of the house…

I started off slow at first. I began by eating small meals instead of eating 2 or 3 large meals. Drink water, don't waste your calories on drinks. If you like tea, get unsweet tea and use Splenda. You also want to drink half your body weight in ounces in water. This is for a person dieting or not. A lot of the time you…

I've heard it both ways. A lot of people have strong opinions on this. What works best for me is I try not to eat my calories I burned; however, if I am still hungry, I will eat at least some of the calories. I definitely eat 1200 per day though regardless if I work out or not.

I love it! I'm from the south and it's just a way people show respect :) Nobody means any harm by it! I'm 21 and I get called ma'am all the time. And hun, and sweetie. It's just people's way of being polite and respectful. I would take it as a compliment :)

I count plain ol' water as water, I never thought about the coffee having water in it. :) I guess it's just up to personal preference.

Sounds like you might wanna take it back and get another one. Something must be wrong w/ it.

What kind of HRM was it?

Girl Google has everything :)

Thanks y'all! Those are all great tips!! I'll try some of them :)

Haha, I <3 it!

That's AMAZING! That's truly an inspiration. Thanks for sharing :)

If you ate something that you know what all the ingredients are, you can go here http://caloriecount.about.com/cc/recipe_analysis.php?process=resubmit&count=11 and type how much you ate of each ingredient. This is a GREAT site for homemade recipes. Hope this helps :)

Omgosh! That use to be me too! I would order a full order of Shrimp && Chicken fajita's (without the fattening shell) && eat it all in one sitting. Now I eat half the order and I'm completely satisfied, && I eat it later on when I get hungry again. Dieting really opens your eyes and makes you aware of what you're putting…

You're all welcome :D Yeah hopefully MFP will come up with one soon.

Thanks! I have lost 20 lbs since the end of Feb. && I've hit a little plateau so I was just wondering if that was why. I was thinking it was, but thanks for the advice!

I LOVE Nike's. They are a little expensive, but they're worth it. I know when I was pregnant (I gained 60 lbs I was HUGE && my feet swelled a lot) I wore Dr. Scholl's (Spelling) && I got them from Wal-mart. They were AMAZING!

You look ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! You're an inspiration!!! Congrats!

You look ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! You're an inspiration!!! Congrats!

I was like that when I started, well it worked for about a week, but then my body started going into "starvation mode" && I started GAINING, so I had to up my calories to 1200 && I started losing! Your body NEEDS energy to go. I snack on things like baked doritos and all kinds of fat free stuff (there are TONS at the…

Johnny'sgirl34, I got my updates on FB, Maybe try doing it again. I didn't have any trouble getting my updates to facebook.

Your weight will fluctuate a lot. What is best to do is weigh once every week. Same day same time. I weigh in the mornings about 1 hour after I get up and start moving around. If you weigh at different times, your weight will be about 2 lbs higher in the afternoon (after you've ate). But what is usually recommended is…

Thanks :) && I saw that one of your "mini goals" is to get your wedding band back on, I was able to start wearing mine like 1 1/2 weeks ago :) I was SO happy!

I haven't tried the "Biggest Loser" game, but I bought the Wii Fit today and I think it's pretty accurate. For about 45 minutes of doing various games && exercises it says I burned 181 calories, I think it's fairly right, although, I'm not a fitness expert lol! I have been riding a Stationary bike 4 times a week for 4…
