I use a male hrm. I didn't care about the chest strap size, I just liked the color. It seems to work fine for me and I haven't had any issues with it.

I would never put a guys' name or anything to symbolize him on my body and I would be royally irked if I guy put my name on his body. I don't know if it's the kiss of death but given how many relationships and marriages fail it just seems like a waste. You're gonna be paying for a cover-up or removal if things go bad. Kids…

:laugh: That's cool, my friends call me mom, cause I'm always taking care of everybody.

Resistance bands (3 levels) An elliptical - it was busted :sad: but my friend just fixed it for me so I'm looking forward to using it again.

I love it!

Way to go! New clothes is always a great feeling of accomplishment during weight loss.

I've had several great ones... That moment when you reach for the clothes you've been saving for "some day when you're skinny" and they don't fit because they are too big! :laugh: That moment when you find out you've inspired a friend to start her own journey. That moment when you discover you do actually have hip bones…

Okay, so I get the two ingredients but since this is my first time hearing about these cupcakes I have a couple questions... 1) You said diet soda, like Diet Sprite or does it not matter is the soda is clear or dark? 2) Cook like regular cupcakes (i.e. oven temp and time as directed on box)?

Those were all symptoms I had during my first month of pregnancy with my first child. I don't know how your diet will affect the baby but if you think you might be prego I would suggest going to maintenance mode until you know one way or the other. Not to scare you but I was very sick with my first child. I ended up only…

Try going to one of those printing websites (i.e. Vistaprint) and make one for yourself. :flowerforyou:

1. McLintock! 2. Boondock Saints 3. Sword in the Stone

Chicken breast, eggs, apples, baby carrots and almond milk

My favorite bar :wink:

It happened to one of my friends but it hasn't happened to me. I'm okay with this because I have a ton of cute shoes and would hate to have to replace. (It would be frighteningly expensive!) I have noticed that straps have be tightened a bit more, that kinda thing but that's it.

This is really mean of me but I deal with 25+ telemarketers per day so it gets hard to be friendly and perky when they won't stop pushing... Them: "Can I talk to (now deceased and has been for over 5 years president of the corporation that owns our company)?" Me: "Only if you can hold a seance, he's dead" Them: CLICK!!!!!…

My space heater (people at work accuse me of having a sauna in my office :laugh: ), movie on Netflix (The Phantom) playing in background (yay for headphones) while I try to get some typing and re-formatting done.

Not sure if it's available to you but bodybuilding.com has a ton of stuff to choose from. I like Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Protein Powder (they have a ton of choices and all they ones I've tried were good).

That's an awesome NSV! Keep up the great work!

I've been drinking a lot of hot cocoa at night. There are several variations I use depending on how many calories I have available to use but I've found using unsweetened almond milk gives me the creamiest results without as many calories as regular skim milk.

You might not be eating enough. I stalled out last fall and tried decreasing my calories even more and doing more exercise. It wasn't working. I talked to a nutritionist and found out I had been unknowingly starving my body for months. So I did whats called a re-feed for a couple weeks (eating at maintenance, maybe even…

Somebody I work with asked me when I was leaving for Hollywood :laugh: One of my friends was talking to her sister (also a friend) about my weight loss and called me a "skinny b**ch" :drinker:

I have no memory of being as thin as my current goal, so probably junior high age (about 13) yrs ago. :sad:

My work place is very conservative on the office side and far from it on the manufacturing plant side. Unfortunately I work on the office side. I have to keep mine covered. It's not too hard although the one at the top of my back occasionally peeks out. But at least one of the ones I want to get will have to wait until I…

1. The more weight I lose the less color I seem to have in my wardrobe. Seriously about 2/3 of my closet is black clothing. :laugh: 2. I have been painting my toe nails various shades of red and red only for about 12 yrs. 3. I have 7 tattoos, so far and am currently planning out several more. 4. I am a receptionist at a…

I have the same problem, and would be interested in what people suggest too. So far, I have been able to make little adjustments. Our office has a hallway that circles the building with offices on both sides. Every time I have to get up from my desk I go all the way around it. Our lunch room is upstairs and the drinking…

Turkey breast or tofu should make good substitutes.

I did it for two weeks. Due to lack of knowledge I had been unintentionally starving myself for several months and I stalled out on weight loss. So I spent two weeks doing a re-feed. Over the following two weeks I lost 4lbs with my goal set to lose 1lb per week. In times previous I have eaten really well all week and then…
