I never expected my coworkers to notice OR say anything about my losses. At about 20 pounds down (13 from my goal) a few women did notice and compliment me. I did like that people had noticed, I admit. On the other hand, there is a quite overweight young lady that I work with and I am almost positive that shes lost weight.…

I would think that after 2.5 years that this conversation would have come up many times. I'm not an expert but in my case, my then boyfriend (now husband) was talking about marriage six months into the relationship. We were married on the 2 year mark. Maybe some guys just want to get married and others don't? As long as…

I'm 5'1.5". I'm currently at 122.8 on my way down to 114. I am eating 1490 calories a day. More if I exercise copiously. I *was* eating 1200, bumped it up to 1300 and got stuck at 125. The instant I upped my calorie intake I lost 2lbs. So I'm staying in the 1400-1500 range until losses stop again. Hopefully they won't…

Age: 34 5'1.5" SW: 149 in September CW: 122.8 GW: 114 I started eating 1200 calories while working out six days a week. Started getting really hungry. Moved to 1300 calories working out six days a week. Stopped losing weight, started bouncing between 126-125. Now eating 1500 calories and working out four days a week.…

I just finished up all three circuits. I really enjoyed it because its simple, no jumping around like a crazy person or having to memorize routines. During the three months I was doing it, I only lost 3lbs BUT I also gained 2.6lbs of lean muscle mass. I actually have muscles! And you can see them! I used the same SelecTech…

I still use mayo. Either the Best Foods Light or Best Foods with Olive Oil. I think they have around 35 cals a tablespoon. If you are trying to get away from mayo altogether, avocado is wonderful added onto sandwiches.

Do I rely on it? No. Is it interesting? Yes. Has it been right? Yes. Has it been wrong? Yes. I keep track of it because I like data. And I like seeing the number go down to new lower numbers.

I was so terrified to go, too!! I had all your same questions. Go with your friend the first couple times. Pin her down, tell her your worries and make sure you go with her. It helps a lot to have someone to giggle at when you do something wrong :) As for the other people in the class, most are so friendly and will help…

I wouldn't turn up my nose at Lightning's Blaze Edge from FFXIII.

I love the Beta. It helps with the Diablo cravings. Love me some barbarian and monk :D

I met my husband *because* of WoW but not on it. We met at my workplace and he heard me mention WoW and my level 60 rogue (this was WAY back in the day when 60 had just become the cap). So he invited me on a date (in an email, no less, hooray for nerds) and we had a WoW playing date night. Never looked back :) I did have a…

My brother was just telling me about this. He really likes it and was trying to get me to buy it. I'm playing SWTOR right now though and dont have time for another game. He loves the open world, says its bigger than Skyrim. I love crafting and he said the crafting system is great. I love to jump, too and have always been…

Which ones are you referencing? Our raid team has run them all in nightmare mode with no major issues. The Soa fight has one issue but that can be solved by resetting after each wipe. I'm on Mandalore the Indomitable :)

Certificate. It never fails to come out as certicafit.

I'm a 32E which is a really hard size to find so I'm used to spending a lot of money on bras. I would *hate* to double up on my expensive nice bras, sweating into them and getting them all gross. I have a FREYA sports bra. I never knew anything could be so wonderful for working out. It lifts, separates (no monoboob!) and…

I never count dairy sugar or fruit sugar against myself. I try (hah!) to keep the amounts of *refined* sugar under control though. Naturally occuring sugar is fine as far as I know, its the added sugar thats the issue.

I just finished this book this morning and really enjoyed it. And it was pretty obvious that the main character was not happy about what was going on. It's a hell of a lot better than Lord of the Flies.

I don't mind a lot of these things. My husband calls me Woman when he's being silly (followed by "wheres my dinner?" :D) No one else has ever called me woman, that I can recall. I don't mind miss or lady. My friends and I always say "Hey, lady" as a hello. I do NOT like MISSY! I am a grown woman. Don't call me Missy. One…

I weigh so that I can know how much I usually retain. I've learned that I tend to gain between 2-3lbs of water weight around my period so I never stress it since I know it will disappear. I just think its interesting to see the fluctuations. I don't let it bother me since I've been trending downward since I started this. I…

I use my running shoes for everything. I never thought about getting another pair for each specific activity. Mostly because I think its kiiiind of a gimmick by shoe companies to keep people buying. A shoe is a shoe. As long as its comfy, Im happy. I *do* have a different shoe for hiking but I don't mind hiking in my…

I know next to nothing about spreadsheets but I love it when other people make them and I can put in numbers :D

This was the sweetest, most positive and realistic post I think I've ever read on here. Thank you for writing this. :)

This is too crazy! Just this morning I looked in my full length mirror and noticed that I have a REAL SPACE between my thighs for the first time in freaking ages! And its real, like I can see daylight even though my feet and knees are together! Yay! I'm 5'1" and just hit 124. I have ten pounds till my goal. BUT my…

I had a high sodium cheat day yesterday and gained 3.6lbs of water weight. Woo!! I'm guzzling water today to flush it all out. I'm usually back to normal after a day or two.

Just do it!! People who do the Warrior Dash are awesome! Someone will shove you over the wall if you're desperate. The worst thing that can happen is that you skip an obstacle which removes you from the reader boards but hey, you still got out there and did it!! I'm going this year with my husband and so he'll help me but…

Well, if you are looking for some kind of comparison, I just started lifting weights in January. I do it three times a week using Chalean Extreme DVDs so I'm not in the gym but I have dumbells in increments from 5lbs up to 53lbs. I am 5'1 and weigh 125. I don't have a lot of muscle but I'm working on it. I do chest flys…

I don't think its rude. I do it. My husband makes fun of me (teasing, not serious) but I usually get what I want. It helps to be kind and understanding with the server. Most will be sure to do/get what you want if you are nice. Some things are out of their control if it gets made wrong in the kitchen, so don't get mad at…

I'm 5'1.5" and I'm currently at 125, hoping to get down to 114. I started at 147 in September. Feel free to add me :D

I love No More Trouble Zones for strength training. It's hard work! Banish Fat Boost Metabolism is a great cardio workout. I'm always pooped at the end. Killer Buns and Thighs is seriously amazing. I so wish I had taken before and after pictures of my butt because I am positive there is a new perkiness there. >.< TMI,…

Yum! Definitely going to make those buffalo chicken ones!
