I always use my scale - even when I did WW at Work. I prefer online anyway, since I hate sitting through meetings and didn't get anything out of them. Can't hurt to track with both, though!

I think most men are just excited to get any woman naked. I mean, I'm definitely a big girl, but I've never gotten any complaints ;-) Of course, I know *I* will feel more confident when I hit my goal - and maybe leave the lights on and the covers off for a change :-)

I ONLY weigh myself once a week, on Sunday morning. I put my scale in the cupboard the rest of the week, otherwise I obsess. And I've discovered that if I weigh in on Sunday, I am more careful about what I put in my body over the weekend. (Except Friday. Oi. Had a wedding and an open bar and I don't know how I didn't gain…

Well, I'm not gonna lie...I really enjoy a great **** ;-) But as far as easily visible...Arms, no question. A man that can wrap me up and make me feel safe? Perfection. Nice *kitten* is great too. And a nice chest. And strong hands. And this is probably weird, but nice feet. Oh, and sexy eyes. And a great smile and great…

One thing my old trainer told me is that if you are initially trying to lose weight, to do lots of reps at smaller weights. Like, initially I started off doing bicep curls like this: 5 lbs Set 1 - 20 reps 60 second rest Set 2 - 25 reps rest Set 3 - 20 reps That way you can do them a little faster (hence using lighter…

I have a 32 oz. jug I keep at work and another at home - I usually get throught 3 of those at work, and another at home. I keep a knife and a cutting board at work and slice up lemons or oranges and put those in water, it adds a little flavor which is good. At home I do raspberries a lot. YUM.

Oooh! Me too from Michigan!! (And an hour power walk in this hot weather has addled my brain and ability to make sentences...) I'm from the D...or close enough to it, at least! Anyone who wants friends, add me!

I do the best with dance-type ones, just because they're a little more entertaining to me. Heh, I have Cardio Go-Go Dancing and I LOVE it. I want to get the strip tease DVDS - I've heard they're a good workout even if you look a fool doing them!

For real! I'm doing Biggest Loser right now w/some friends and the $1000+ prize for the winner is almost as good a motivator as the skimpy Halloween costume :)
-
LOVE IT.
-
OOOH. And another thing - I want a SUPER slutty Halloween costume, no joke. I bought one super cheap after Halloween last year from Hot Topic (basically the St Pauli Girl) and I want to wear that with pride! (and maybe a little shame, but still confidence!)

Hee, I think I might get arrested for air pollution - all that spandex CANNOT be good for the environment!
-
Oh, yea, I went to doctor after doctor after doctor when I got diagnosed. The first one told me it was 'growing pains' and I was just being a hypochondriac. Not kidding. I told him that I'd been the same height for almost 10 years and walked out. I was 21 at that point - a little old for a growth spurt, I think!

I am going to say two things: A pair of shorts. Not like the basketball shorts I wear bummin' around my apartment, but actual, short, wear-in-public shorts. I haven't worn any in at least 5 years, probably more. A cocktail dress that isn't black/brown/navy/dark purple/etc. I have always wanted a really gorgeous champagne…

I hear you on the arthritis bit! I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis when I was 22. Stupid RA. HATE! Hopefully dropping some poundage will help both of us out :-) Oh, and I say soda. I know, I'm a Michigander, I should say pop - I have NO idea why I started with the soda, but at least they don't look at me funny when…
-
Aww, yay! Thanks! I am SUPER pumped for the move, even though I will be leaving behind a gajillion amazing people here, and a job I love. But a girl's gotta do what she's gotta do!
-
Thanks for the welcome, both of you!! And TRUST. I have been sayin' 'Hey y'all' for years! I think there is a Southern belle inside of me, covered up by a Motor City chick :-)
-
Oh, and I'm doing a Biggest Loser competition that started yesterday and runs til Labor Day - so my goal for that is to drop 37 lbs (that's about 15%) because it goes on percentage and not poundage. Woo!! And also, I'm a relentlessly perky and optimistic person - so if you need a cheerleader, feel free to let me know!!…

Imported from Detroit, just like the Chrysler commercials! Gotta love the D! Moving to Nashville in October though - my folks retired about an hour/hour and a half east of there a few years back, and my big sister moved to the same town for school and didn't come back...so much as I love Michigan and all the fantastic…

HA! This made me laugh. On the boob/weight loss note...Until I was around 23 or so I was always a 'Barely B' cup. Then all of a sudden I went to 'C' and then once I started birth control, I was spilling out of a D. I lost 40 pounds a couple years ago (gained it all back since) and went down in band size but not in cup…
