Great job!!! Just goes to show the scale doesn't tell the whole story - I would have thought that was way more than a 5 pound loss!

Age: 28 Height 5'6'' SW: 155 CW: 147 GW 130 Depending on how I'm feeling when I get down to 130, I'll probably try and switch to body recomp at that point and focus on increasing muscle and losing fat.

Yes! Recovery days are important. I've definitely been there before, where you feel like you've gotten in the groove of being healthy, and you don't want to ruin it by missing a day. However, from experience, if you push it too hard for too long, you're just going to injure yourself, and then you'll have to deal with the…

I don't understand why she is so adamant that you can't get the dress altered closer to the date? Why would she want you to look like crap in a dress that is too big for you in all her wedding pictures? That makes absolutely no sense. Is she overweight? Is it perhaps that she doesn't want to look like "the fat sister" on…

Bump for the great ideas!

I'm considering signing up. I'm pretty broke right now though, and the first 70 Zwow's are still free so I'm sticking to those right now.

Bump for great breakfast ideas.

Bump because there is so much awesome here.

Maybe to ease the growing out process, you could start going blonde (with highlights)? A lot of women I know with grey or white hair do blonde streaks because it is somewhat similar to the natural colour, so you don't get that awkward 'skunk streak' at the top of your head when things start growing out, and you can go…

My gym is always tuned into the local radio station, and I actually really like 95% of the music they play. It's all top 40 sort of stuff, but that's often what I like to listen to when I'm working out. I never listen to my ipod because I don't have one of those arm band things, plus I'm clumsy and I worry about getting…

This thread is a mess, but I'll throw in my 2 cents anyway. I think there is a relation here. Because from my experience (including my own past approach to exercise), pure cardio doesn't give you a nice butt. It gave me a flat pancake butt even worse than the one I already had. I understand that you don't want a six-pack…

When people mix up then/than. i.e. I like cookies more then cake. No!

Have you ever used an exercise journal? I've been finding that pretty helpful since I started a weight training program. Originally, I started using it so I could keep track of my weights and reps. I go to the gym with the day's workout already written down. Lately, I've started adding some cardio/hiit to the end of my…

I dislike: When people say 'expresso' instead of 'espresso' The word "succulent". I don't know why but that word just disgusts me. The word "crumby" I have a problem with it ever since I read The Catcher in the Rye. On another note, I think that 'moist' may be one of the most hated words in the English language. I have a…

Check out Zuzka Light on youtube. She has a ton of awesome workouts. Most involve only body weight, but she occasionally works in a dumbbell or two as well.

I would have guessed that security clearance for the Navy would also involve a drug test. Is that not the case?

Bumping to read more later.

I don't think the doctor was unreasonable at all in this case. To me, it seems quite reasonable that the doctor was not even 'lying' about the policy. Maybe there is no policy that morbidly obese women are sent to another hospital to deliver, but perhaps it is a policy (or an unwritten convention), to recommend a bigger…
