You did do the right thing and you should feel good about it. You both deserve to feel excited to be with some one. You are still young and it may feel like you are all alone, but time will heal this. It is more likely you feel you lost your best friend more then a boy friend. Try to keep in touch with him after a few days…

Well tht all depends on what you like to eat....There are plenty of pre-portioned meals that you can buy and microwave. Lean cuisine, Wieght watchers. etc. If you want a healthy meal you don't have to cook, try peanut butter and jelly on whole wheat, hell you won't even have to refridgerate that. Really depends on…

Thought I would ask.....How did the wedding go and which dress did you end up wearing????

I love to sweat while I'm working out... My Motto: "If I ain't drippin, I ain't droppin". LOL Some days I sweat more then others and I just let it happen.

Honestly, people who give out such a nickname should be ashamed of themselves. Personally, I believe you can do exercises to keep the chest tight so you shouldn't worry about it.

Maybe you should just try to use the healthy request or lower sodium versions of soup. That way you won't wash away the flavor it has.

have you tried using Aussie? It really works on tangled hair and you may not have to cut it. Get the conditioner and try to comb out the hair while it is wet (preferably while still IN the shower) I buy both the conditioner and the 3 minute miracle. My hair is curly and hard to manage, this is some of the best stuff I have…

Your butt will thank you for it later...LOL You did good, NO MUFFIN is worth 690 calories...try the Vita Tops for 100 calories if you must have your sweets, even a candy bar would be better for half the calories. You gave yourself the power today....BE PROUD!!!

Do you add these treats into your regular eating habits? If you did afford yourself something special once in awhile you may not feel the need to over do it when you do. Why are they in your house? only you can answer that but it would be best to NOT keep all three at the same time LOL. I usually get dark chocolate and put…

I have had two tattoos recently and I have not had any problems with sweat bothering them, the friction part is what you should worry about and possibly strectching the area. Apply whatever Tattoo goo, H2Ocean etc... to the area when working out. If you notice anything that what cause you to ease up, I'm sure you will and…

#2 is very elegant

Thanks, even my husband enjoyed it and that is sayin something. LOL

I try to keep my meals evened out through the day but it sometimes varies. I do 300 x 3 meals and 100 x 3 snacks. But it can be 200 at breakfast, 180 first snack. 320 for lunch and 80 for second snack and so on.... you should try to fuel your body all day long so you don't hit a starvation mode. I try to get all my…

If you like tuna noodle casserole, this was a very simple version. No real cooking involved either.

I personally don't see why you NEED to tell him. Unless he comes to you about it and asks, eventually he may do that. But if you feel you must, I would ask him if he believes in the true meaning of christmas first. You may find out he may only still believe because he thinks he won't get presents otherwise.

I know exactly how you feel....it is a big deal to actually be able to cross your legs. I hurt my hip when I first started because I was always doing it LOL, years of not doing it and age I guess but it is much better now and it feels GREAT!!!

Makes you wonder huh? #4 is something I have noticed just recently.....I was looking at soups. I saw a healthy request soup that had all the nutritional information (ok, not so bad) but when I looked at the same soup in the microwave container, and about 3 oz less than the first one. All the nutritional information was…

I think you will know when you are ready, What is the worst that can happen? You go back to Level 1 for another day or two? Try it is my advice.

This is confusing for my also..... very interested in responses

With ALL OF THIS support.....I guess you should give it another try. HUH? LOL Did you expect this kind of reaction with you were about to throw in the towel?

NOOOOOO! Don't give in yet. If you must, take a breather then take a day off....but get back in gear and kick its butt. Take measurements, have you lost any inches? maybe that will boost your spirits. You need to feel better in your clothes, Don't you? Find something to keep you going..to push past this phase.

OMG...can we say repetitive? I just got through the 1st chapter and I felt like I was reading the same thing over and over again....Nothing like drilling it into your head huh? LOL What I took away from it was that a Plateau is your bodies way af saying "Hey what is going on here, hold the phone, you are making too many…

I suggest you watch "Chopped". LOL The food combinations they come up with will make you curb those cravings.

From what I have learned ....a pound is still a pound if it is fat or muscle but muscle is more dense and takes up less space under the skin.

I'm game for this one. I would like to lose another 15 lbs by Halloween...which is also my anniversary. YAY!!

This is one of the sites where I double checked my information http://www.ehow.com/how_2187872_calculate-net-carbohydrates.html

From what I have learned in the past is that you can deduct the fiber from the carbs to get a NET Carb amount. If I am wrong please feel free to advise otherwise but I did double check this before posting.... Not that you want to do it all the time but this may help to make you feel better about the numbers you are getting
