I had huge pompoms with bells on mine! I still love rollerskating. Every town we live in I look for a skating rink and usually there is 1 and but it's old and run down somewhere. So sad! I would love to take my kids rollerskating. I was a roller QUEEN when I was a kid! LOL

Yeah...Back when MTV was MUSIC Television...not reality television. I really miss that one! :(

Those all are great ones! Sweet Valley High.....Oh how I loved the Wakefield twins! Jessica and Elizabeth....the most perfect girls in the world...hahaha!

Oh...and SUN-IN spray on hair! That stuff was TERRIBLE! Completely ruined so many heads of hair! Well, that and all the Aqua-Net!

LOL! I remember that! I used to wear 2 pairs of "scrunch socks". They were these big, sweater socks and you'd layer your colors...OVER the tight-rolled jeans, of course!

would this be MTV's "headbangers ball"? I remember watching it and swooning over Bret Micheals and Sebastian Bach. Boy, did they turn out to be trainwrecks or what??? LOL

You camped outside the record store for New Kids On The Block tickets, you rollerskated to Rick Springfield songs, and in your senior picture your hair is either hot-rolled or scrunched and sprayed out so big that you appear to be about 97% hair. OH...and you had a Panda coin ring and a herringbone gold chain and you…

I don't intentionally have one on a schedule, but they happen anyway so I don't stress over it as long as they are few and far between. :)

You look fantastic! You should be super proud of yourself! :)

Welcome! You and I are close to the same size. I am doing well eating 1200 calories a day and avoiding most processed foods and sweets. Lots of yogurt, lean proteins, fruits, healthy carbs, etc...The tracker here makes it sooo easy and you can view most peoples' diarys for ideas when you can't think of things to eat that…

Have had to with 1, never had to with the other. It's a last resort and infrequent but if all else fails and he is being a total jack-a** then yes, I have spanked. Never too hard though..just mostly to shock him and let him know I will carry out my threats so he better start listening! Usually a threat of a spanking is…

I think it depends on what you consider overweight. Obesity is never healthy and should be corrected for a number of reasons, not just appearances. That is a fact. Being just a little overweight or heavy...well, I guess that is up to that person. Some people view a size 10 as slender and some view it as large. It's an…

That is a very brave and cool thing to do! Good for you! I am a hairdresser and I think the details make the difference but most people can wear any length as long as it is done to suit their face shape/personal style. Mine is long right now and I usually chop it off, grow it out, chop it off again, etc etc. I love hair…

My husband's family does the same thing to me. They say I have OCD and I worry too much, etc. They also make "playful fun" of me which I know they actually mean it....they are all overweight and while I am not judgemental of them I know they feel like I am separating myself from the group somehow when I decline food or…

I have IBS and go between long periods of constipation and then sudden periods of painful, loose bowels. This has never been caused by diet...I've had it since my teen years...but eating alot of protein has made it worse at times. I've been blocked up like that a few times. My doctors put me on a prescription medication…

I have a 6 and 3 year old. I have never bought a toddler bed! Seemed like a total waste of money and they look ridiculous IMO. I moved both of mine out of the crib when they learned how to climb out of it themselves and started them on their "big boy/girl" bed with first the mattress on the floor, then then boxspring was…

wow, you have totally transformed yourself! That is amazing and you look really beautiful! Congrats!

You and me both! I blew it last week while in Texas and gained back what I had lost. Hoping some of it is water but still....I definately blew my diet! I am just going to be very strict and log everything the next few days. That's all we can do...get back on the horse! :)

I have it too. I gained 60 with one baby, 50 with the other. I did not get stretch marks but I have alot of loose skin. When I stand it doesn't show but when I sit it sags over my jeans. I hate it. I think using vitamin E and give it time is about all you can do besides surgery. I had a consultation for a tuck and was told…

"Just the way you" are by either Billy Joel or Diana Krall. They both have a version and both are great.

LOL! Funny! I have been wondering this myself. I have come up with grilling myself a tuna steak to have in place of hamburgers with the rest of them, and doing a crab boil with lots of peel and eat shrimp...we do a big BBQ with primarily ribs and pork shoulder so I will just try to scale out the fats and breads out of that…

I had severe urinary incontinence after having a 10 lb baby. I could not carry groceries into the house without leaking, sneezing meant stop walking, cross legs and squeeze to keep from leaking, and forget exercise. I was constantly in the bathroom and I began to dehydrate myself over time because I did not like to drink…

I think "no" unless you feel like you need it, and then it should be protein. This (site) is the first time I have ever been told to eat back every exercise calorie and I am taking that with a grain of salt...maybe some people feel they should do that and maybe it works for them but for me I need to eat 1200 and exercise,…

try having a sugar free hot cocoa made with skim milk at night. Gives you calcium, protein, and won't hurt your diet! :) I am also a chocoholic, I try to substitute my desserts with FF frozen cool whip and fruit or fruit with peanut butter. Its hard though! Sometimes I would rather just have dessert and skip the meal! haha!

Caroline is right...you would lose more weight and have a "prettier" result by going up to 1200. At one point in time in my 20s I calorie restricted to about 500 cals a day. Yes, I lost weight but it caused some really bad side effects and I gained it all back when I started eating again. I know you think that won't happen…

I think you'll be fine! Everyone needs to splurge once in a while...enjoy your night and just get on track first thing tomorrow. It's not like you went 1400 over or something like that. Having fun is important too! :)

I am a "power walker" and I lose weight quickly by walking 3 miles a day. When I run I hurt and always have to quit too soon to get in my distance.

as you lose weight they will shrink and fade usually. Mederma helps...I use it for my scars from surgeries and it has helped with those. A stretch mark is actually a scar, you know! From tiny tears in the inner layers of your skin when it was stretched out. Also get the palmers cocoa butter in the little pot..the really…

I'm 5' 7.5" and my goal is 127lbs but I will be happy at 130 or even a little over. I have small bones and was 127 when I got married at 29 years old, and that was my best look and size. I was thin and muscular and looked very proportionate. Now I am 149, have lost 3 lbs so far. For my body being between 125 and 135 is my…

I am a big foodie too. I love eating, cooking, trying restaurants, recipes, etc. Food addiction is hard to beat...you can't just quit "using" or you would die! That makes it different from any other addiction. We have to learn how to eat and how to be creative and responsible I suppose. In my perfect dream world I would be…
