Thanks for the replies everyone. I appreciate all of the suggestions and advice :) We do have an exercise bike. I try to get on it a couple of times a week. It's been too hot to walk outside (I live in Cali.) Hopefully I can start walking more when the weather is cooler.

Because I was told that is what is ideal for my height (I'm only 5 feet tall) and it's what I weighed when I met my husband, 13 years ago. Although at this point, I just want to stay healthy. My health is great except for being obese and having Fibromyalgia and I want it to stay that way. I know I'm essentially "playing…

Jessica I agree! I weighed between 115 and 120 when I met my husband, 13 years ago. I've gained 100 pounds in 10 years, but he has stayed with me, says he loves me, shows he loves me, etc. I have told him many times I wouldn't be surprised or shocked if he wanted to find someone else who was prettier/skinnier and more…

Um....ME...Totally been there done that!

With all due respect your husband is an *kitten*...but then again most men are ;) (I KNOW mine is!)

I had a hysterectomy in June, but I still have my ovaries therefore I still have PMS and "period" like symptoms...so basically YES...there's a couple of days where I say screw it..LOL...Although not having to deal with AF anymore, it still sucks having the other symptoms. Sometimes my PMS was way worse than AF!!

I got your message..Thanks :)

I don't hate her for trying to help me. I'm frustrated because every single time I go to her, all she focuses on is my weight. If I go in there for a sinus infection, or injured shoulder, or whatever, I expect to be treated for that FIRST. Then if there is time and she wants to b*tch at me, fine, whatever. However,…

I don't usually take it on weekends, because I don't get up early enough to take it. If I take it too late in the day then I can't sleep at night. During the week, I'm up at 6:45 to get the kids up and to school so I can easily take it no problem. Even after not taking it for 2 or 3 days, it doesn't seem to be helping…

Probably because I've already tried dieting, exercise and even Phentermine. She's done a zillion blood tests and all of my blood work always comes back perfect/negative. So really it's the last resort and I don't think I'm going to jump on it, but it's an option. I'm 5 feet tall and 100 pounds overweight and although I am…

I appreciate the concern. Aside from being obese I am healthy. All of my labs come back negative/normal and I am being closely monitored by my doctor.

I always seem to be the one who doesn't mind my stretch marks. Being overweight bothers me way more than the stretch marks do. Then again, I've never been the bikini type, even when I weighed 108 pounds (when I was 18 years old..lol) I'm not one to show my midriff.....

Let's see....I'm 5 feet tall, I've had THREE c-sections and 6 weeks ago had a hysterectomy which resulted in a 4th incision that is just like a c-section. I am 100 pounds overweight. Even if/when I lose the 100 pounds, the pooch is gonna always be there for me. I already know for a fact I will need surgical assistance to…

O.k. then how do you log using a HRM? LOL

WOW! You look awesome! He is gonna be so proud of you!!

I know Dana..I'm going to Hell! Oh well, maybe I can have ice cream there......

That is awesome!!!! Congrats!

Woohoo! Yay for will power! Chocolate has been one of my hardest things to stay away from too.

Don't they make pills you can take so you can eat foods with lactose? I think it's called Lactaid or something like that. Do they still make that? Hope you feel better soon........

What!?!? I have NEVER heard of something like this. That sounds really rude if you ask me. I wouldn't get her a damn thing.

Welcome and ramble away! That's what we're here for :bigsmile:

Oh man..I could go for a cupcake...lol Good for you with the will power!! :bigsmile:

Cool thanks....um, how do I find the friend code?

For me it's any day ending in Y......:laugh:

Yeah I probably won't be able to upgrade right away either. I really want to get the Kinect for the XBox 360 as we have that in my room. The Wii is in the living room because the kids play it more than I do.

Thanks everyone! I've had 3 c-sections (as you can tell my body has never worked right) so I know what to expect as far as how I'll feel after. The surgery will be almost like a c-section except I won't have a gorgeous little newborn to show for it..LOL..With my last baby (8 years ago) I was up and walking 2 hours after…

Yes..I haven't been completely depriving myself of my sweets. I get too pissy when I do that and my husband threatens to tie me down and force feed me ice cream. Apparently I become like the Exorcist or something..haha Anyway, I am trying to just limit what I eat and in the last 2 weeks I think I have done very well. I…

Yep..I started chewing gum. My husband hates it, but oh well. If it keeps me from eating at times during the day when I don't need to be eating, then so be it.

My husband doesn't like onions either unless they're grilled...I don't get it.
