  • Mine came out of a drunken game of scrabble where someone tried to convince us that Bucklebeak is a technical term. Something about birds with a buckled beak not getting the worm so on a tangent it means you're slow... can't remember the exact reason but it seemed legit at the time on triple points! Wine does that.
  • Lose the weight for yourself, not as a condition for a proposal. If he's treating a proposal as a reward for you 'behaving' a certain way, then no, that's not ok. Every person deserves someone who can love them for better or worse. He's already ruled out the 'for worse' part of the equation by not seeing you as a person…
  • I love this :-) We need to just get out of our heads once in a while to see how much we have to be grateful for. It all still works, maybe not as seamlessly as we'd like at times but our bodies give us so much more than we give them credit for. Thanks for this perspective, well timed after a rough few days.
  • A few people have tried asking, no response. I get that maybe a doctor suggested eating less but her profile indicates no weight left to lose. She has met her goal. Also the food choices are a bit sketchy because if you're serious about following a doctor's orders to eat less, you would be following their suggestion to eat…
  • Yep, deleted the same person. I can't cheer someone on if they are hellbent on eating less than half of their recommended calories. Add in the exercise calories and some days it went negative on the net calories. Despite all the support and concern from everyone, each day would come in as less than the day before. Support…
  • Cheers for the article link, interesting!
  • for me it has always boiled down to 2 options. Get up, dust myself off and get back on the wagon OR stay there watching the wagon ride off into the sunset without me while I lie wounded in Sucksville hoping for someone to drive by in another wagon. (unlikely) Life happens, good and bad. And trust me, there has been been…
  • sign me up!
  • You are one amazing woman! Brilliant achievement and truly inspirational. Soldier on to the finish line and everything of the best :-)
  • Sorry to hear you're having a tough time. If your doctor has prescribed meds for you, it's probably best that you take them, especially with something as serious as diabetes. Just one word of advice from a personal experience, check with your doc on what the side-effects are for the meds they have prescribed. Be sure you…
  • Try calorie cycling. I saw it as a suggestion on someone else's thread. If your suggested calorie intake is 1200 per day, that's 8400 per week. So switch it up between surplus and deficit days but make sure you are hitting your 8400 per week! Looking at your list of food you aren't anywhere close to that. Your body has…
  • A few years back I was a member of a weight loss group and was having pretty much the same feelings you are having now. She said it is important to remember that 1 bad meal is not a train wreck when you look at the fact that we have approximately 21 meals a week. So it's ok to have a momentary lapse. It's what you do after…
  • I chatted to one of the owners during my weekly coaching session and got the standard 'everyone's body works differently.' I get that, I know I may not lose a ton of weight fast like other people do, but to do considerably more exercise than I normally do, with a healthy eating plan, it makes no sense to see absolutely no…
  • I joined curves about 3 weeks ago, have been doing 5 workouts a week. Each workout I am progressing beyond what I did before (tracking on Curves Smart). I follow the eating plan to the letter and have not lost a single inch or pound. Really frustrated right now. I was averaging 7500 steps a day on my pedometer, I'm above…
