In high school I did sports. I tore my ACL and menincus and had surgery. My knee gave out on me several times before I had my surgery. I had to be careful. It felt as though my kneecap was going to go out through the back of my leg...

Brandy - the singer

I am also a working mom of two boys, age 5 and 2, with a desk job. They are my WORLD and I don't want to use my time with them to exercise. I usually do my eliptical in my basement at night AFTER they go to bed. It is actually quite nice. Me and Pandora have a date and it is kinda relaxing. I don't miss anytime with them…

I would give ALOT to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation to find a cure, so I can have my son healthy for years and years! That is worth all the money in the world to me!

Never played...do you have to get a $2 ticket for a chance to win, or can you win on a $1 ticket??

I love a man that likes to get dirty! I would find the dirty construction worker more attraction that the business suit any day! :)

I have those days too. But, I always feel better AFTER I do it. I was losing weight by just changing my eating pattern, but those days are gone. Now, I HAVE to exercise to lose ANYTHING. The pure frustration makes me get my *kitten* in gear to go work out. By work out, it usually just means my elliptical after my little…

I have a Nordic Track. At the end of my 30 minute workout, It says I burn over 600 calories because I hit it hard - however, my heart rate monitor says I only burn 330. Don't over estimate the calories :) Calories burned are calories burned!

bump! yummy :)

I guess I was considered "preppy", but only because I cared about school and did sports. It pissed me off being labeled. I have never done the girl drama thing, and I was friends with who I wanted to be friends with. My brother in laws father was the autoshop teacher, so I was friends with all the "gear-heads" as labeled,…

Sounds like fun! Always looking for new friends! 5'4 Starting weight: 180 Current weight: 165 and STUCK age 30 :smile:

My picky 4 year old likes chicken soup for some reason - homemade with lots of veggies and chicken. He also likes english muffin pizzas with very little of the tomato sauce. He will eat "cheeseburgers", which is lean ground sirloin and a piece of cheese and I eat the same, but I cut it up and put it on salad (with…

Kicks my buns and thights for sure! I couldn't walk for 2 days...

I have been doing the Jilliam Michaels 30 ripped in 30 days and Killer Buns and Thighs...I definetly get a workout...however, I tend to get dizzy from all the ups and downs....anyone else get dizzy???

Thanks everyone for the tips. I guess my next stop is a shoe store to get fitted for some good running shoes....hope they know what they are talking about!

I bought a used eliptical from one of my friends on facebook. It was a nordic trak and was cheap because they just wanted it out of their house. I think it was originally $900 or so. Try that first because sometimes used name brand stuff is just like new and may last you longer than a cheaper version of the same thing...

YEAH! Nice to see that SOMEONE actually appreciates big butts and hips! Guess I have it goin' on then! Happy Friday :happy:

I am sooo going to Punta Cana and wearing a rocking bikini!

I just want to be in my 130's! I would be happy even if that is 139. It seems like forever away - but I guess I can reevaluate when I get there! I was 135 in my life and looked thin and healthy and I would be happy to be there again!

If more people looked like you and didn't wear clothes in the gym, I would definetly go more often!

I am trying to eat things that are not processed with stuff that I can't pronounce...Trying to eat real food with real ingredients...I don't know what the real definition of "clean" is, but this is what it means to me...

Nothing, that is what I ate on my salad - but it would be nice to have chicken or something else that I could find at the grocery store. Deli meats are definetly out...

I think it depends on where you are too. I think different cultures have different views of the "ideal woman". A few years ago I was in the Caymen Islands on vacation and the men were very attracted to me instead of my super thin girlfriends that were with me. I was actually in shock, although I was thinner then, I was…

My husband is very muscular, but has some meat on his bones too. He is a manly man. I wouldn't have it any other way. I am more of the Vin Diesel kind of girl. I also like the construction worker look over the business professional look! :tongue:

I would love to eat cleaner and lower carbs as well. I have done the South Beach Diet before and I really saw the lbs fall off. I don't want to go to that extreme again, but I would love to see what other have to say about this! Friend me if you have suggestions!

Me too - I think it has something to do with ALL the sweets I have eaten over the last week. I bought a fresh pineapple and have been eating that. It has really helped with the need for sweets, for me at least. That was my breakfast this morning! The rest of it is a mind game where I need to convince myself that I DO NOT…

I know it is off, but what is my heart rate suppose to be??

I was never skinny, but there was a time I looked good and had my curves. My lowest weight was 135 and I LOVED that weight and I looked good. Hoping to get back there someday. I am only 5'4, but that weight suited my body.

I feel like I unwind after a long day! It relieves my stress and makes me feel better about myself. I used to hate exercising, now I miss it if I skip a day!
