I'm to blame for my choices... but as I plod and struggle along... I'm realizing I don't consume that many calories in a day, certainly not enough to gain the amount that I gained in the time that I did... so I don't understand why I would gain sooo much weight, so I'm thinking there is something else at play w/ in my…

I have different methods that I use depending on the day/event... Extra exercise= extra guilt free calories (um... sometimes LOTS of extra exercise) Try to make the best choices I can from what is offered. and portion control. I'll put a bite or two (yes, a bite, not a scoop) of things I want, because those calories add…

Hmmm, there's not a cut and dried answer to this one...Have I cheated since he's been my spouse? Absolutely not... have I cheated physically? No, but emotionally and logistically, that's murky...We dated for about 6 months, w/ him drinking and cheating, and standing me up, so I split. I started dating Mike, and we dated…

I don't see a difference, but if it's only been one night, that's understandable... I don't know if there's anything that really, truly will get rid of stretch marks... I know mine faded by themselves, from the painful looking red slashes, to white(ish) scars, giving my belly more of a tiger stripe texture than…

I put milled flax seed n no-bake cookies when I was nursing... it was a make- do lactation cookie since all the other recipes I found were modeled after oatmeal cookies, and I'm not a fan... But, It was yummy, so I decided to keep adding the flax as a little nutritional boost whenever I make no--bakes. I sprinkle it…

that's how it felt at the time... i thought I was turning into a cow... oh what I'd give to be that "fat" again lol

I think the issue I have with this, is I WAS skinny... I was a size 2... I got sooo fat, and had to wear a size 4. Then I got pregnant... Fast forward 6 yrs and 2 kids, I hit obese w/o realizing it. Obviously, the food tasted better than skinny felt.

That's my thought as well... tell somebody they are looking good, and the next thing you know you're slapped with a lawsuit or stuck in mandatory training. also, if it's people you see on a daily basis, they might not notice, the same as you don't notice looking in the mirror. But, if they saw a picture of before they'd do…

I have NO idea about Canadian bacon, I'm still not convinced it's not just little ham circles... Anyone got an answer?

I weigh daily for this reason... I'm trying not to stress the day to day fluctuations too much, BUT if i were to weigh in once a week, and say, it looked like I'd gained 3 lbs that week... that would haunt me all week until my next weigh in, but day to day, I can keep track of the moving trend, and if it's up a little, I…

personally, I prefer real food... real eggs, real bacon... Eggs have great nutritional value, which most if it is found in the yolk (except the protein) and good center cut bacon can be about the same calorie and sodium wise as turkey bacon... even may have lower counts depending on brand vs brand... And show me where you…

I weigh at home in my bathroom, either in bra and panties or butt naked... I have even taken off my clothes to weigh and then put them back on. so that would be shoes OFF for me

I bought reebok Runtones... but I seldom actually run in them. Running hurts my knees (and did LONG before I got the shoes) When I first started this exercise thing, I thought at first I'd start c25k but didn't like it, my knees still hurt all day, leaving me barely able to get up the stairs for bed at night, and found…

For some reason, this makes me gag more than the pictures. but, um yay for the guacamole?

For me, it's not set weight, no set frame... it's just kinda I call it as i see it... how the person looks in their own body...

Are you depressed? You don't have to drink to have fun. I have fun daily, and I only drink on rare occasions. I used to drink almost nightly, but that was before I had kids. Sometimes, but rarely, i miss going out and drinking and dancing, but I can have almost as much fun shaking it in the living room w/ my 3 yr old...…

I scrolled a bit to far and got a screen full of a pin-ups behind... I cant imagine why anyone might thing you're a perv

Either, I adore Owen Wilson... Oceans 11... the original Anchorman and can I watch em both please?

I've worked at my fair share of fast food restaurants... our sauce didn't sit around looking like that, we were pretty on top of tossing out anything that had been out for too long... There were little clocks (or another form of written reminder) that you wrote on w/ a grease pencil what time things got tossed. Everything…

Working out w/ friends can be a powerful motivator. I meet once a week w/ a friend to do videos together. The kids think it's a play date, we get our girl time AND a great work out in... Everybody wins!

I've been doing turbo jam, and I love it. It's fun, and I've been burning about 600 a day depending what I put into it. AND, I have bad knees, they've pretty much been giving me grief for 4 years now, I started doing low impact to be kinder to my knees, but since I've been doing it, I can now jump!! AND, I haven't spent…

I'm a SAHM, today is dreaded grocery day, I'm procrastinating... I'd rather be doing just about anything...

always real cheese... chewed out hubby last night because he brought home that pre-shredded nonsense for tacos... I'd rather grate it myself than eat that stuff... eww, it's not the same... once upon a time a block of cheese, would be a snack, no crackers required, just grab the block and a butter knife... maybe I'll start…

other than Agave in my coffee, i do eat real food (other than the processed crap I'm trying to phasing). i switched to the Agave, as opposed to sugar, it doesn't make me feel sick if I drink more than one cup and i don't believe in artificial sweeteners since I've done some reading on them. I've started reading labels and…

will add those to my shopping list.. I love avaodos anyways. I tried a "slimcado" the other day though, it was GROSS (just tossing that in there) Thanks! Any more suggestions?

I know I need to eat them... my question is more how and what, other than going to the pantry or freezer and grabbing the easiest thing to eat an hour before bed because I have 800 more calories i need to consume, so I'll eat 300 in junk and call it a day. I'm wanting to improve my eating habits and eat things that are…
