One time I was at a Cubs game at Wrigley Field. There was a long line to the bathroom and there was a TV playing the game that was visible from the line. The lady in front of me was obviously wearing a Cubs game and I asked her who the Cubs were playing and if they were home or away. I WAS AT THE GAME.

I am sad because of all of the money I spend CONSTANTLY buying new clothes. I bought 4 pairs of pants and spent over $100 less than a month ago, and they are already too big!!!

BA in Business Process Management :)

Worst thing for me- MY BRA BREAKS! I don't even walk around the house without a bra because I have bigger boobs and my shoulders can't take it! Also, one time my dad was out on a run and got attacked by a dog. He had a few unkind words with the lady and then she called him a child molestor and called the cops on him. WTF?

Holy CRAP!!! Your abs look incredible. You have definitely inspired me to go buy this DVD now...I have lost a lot of weight and gotten really great results in my shoulders/arms from a combination of Jillian's other DVDs, but my weakest spot is still my abs...this is what is next on my plate! CONGRATS!

I am 6'0 and currently weigh 186lbs. I can fit in a size 10 or 12, depending on the brand. I started at about 235 and I was somewhere between a 16 and an 18. I was a XXL in shirts and I am now a L.

Cheese.

I would suggest using the elliptical AND trying to run. I have noticed that when I run BEFORE I do the elliptical, I am nice and warmed up and have a much easier time keeping my heart rate up and burning a ton more calories than when I do only the elliptical. Even if it means going outside, running for 5-10 minutes and…

We always "beep" to eachother, and we always say WEEBLE WOBBLE! I also have a zillion lame nicknames for him!

I don't have children, but I do work for a company that provides hot lunches to elementary students at a lot of public schools across the nation, especially a lot of city school districts. They did just enact a bunch of changes where the meals are heavily regulated based on calories, vegetable type, whole grain bread,…

Oh gosh. I'm not engaged yet, but we've talked about getting engaged and it's more of a question of "when" than "if" at this point. My boyfriend comes from a very conservative, old-fashioned family, whereas my family is a lot more modern and nontraditional. One night he overheard my cousin and I talking about…

I hate tomatoes and onions, and almost every 'healthy' recipe has a lot of these in them...yikes. Also, HATE fennel.

I had a roommate in college who I knew was trouble the second she moved in. I lived in a very small triple dorm and when her and her mom walked in, her mom talked about how "nice it was she was living with COMMONERS". This girl was from an EXTREMELY wealthy family and her dad was the president of a well known company in my…

I used to work receptionist at a law firm with a LONG name, and sometimes I'd answer my cell/home phone with "Good morning, GSHS Law!" Hahaha

I'd say look up the calories of a generic biscuit or english muffin and subtract that from the total! I do that when I eat my McChicken without the bun :)

I've had okay experience with eating anything and losing weight. I guess I watch my calories and eat crappy food rather often, just less of it. I will admit that with the obscene amount I exercise, I should be losing more...but I do tend to eat a lot of fatty things although I have made some healthier choices overall.…

I had a very overweight pediatrician. She died of a heart attack. Apparently she also smoked too. Very nice lady...but you gotta practice what you preach!

When I was a young girl, I was at the library reading a book about hurricanes with a friend. The cover of the book featured a picture of high tension wires that were completely destroyed and knocked over. I then gained a fear of hurricanes, and whenever I saw high tension wires as a kid I would freak out and scream. This…

4pm on a Friday vs. 4pm on a Saturday are two totally different things. I think 4pm on a Saturday is reasonable. However, I had a cousin who got married at 4pm on a Friday DOWNTOWN CHICAGO. We got stuck in rush hour traffic, I had to leave work extremely early, we missed the ceremony completely and were late to the…

I usually delete people who have not logged in in a while and who I have no connection with as well. I do keep some people who havent come in a while with hope that they will come back. It is a lot based on my personal connection with people. If we have nothing in common, then I don't really see there being much benefit…

I still shop in the juniors section at Penney's for jeans since they are dirt cheap and have a ton of them, and I usually wear a size 12 long..I had to buy a 15 long in jeans. It was discouraging but when I thought about it...I knew that it was just because they were baby jeans!!

So I can't give you any tips on how to cook it since I prefer my steak medium rare/rare and consider anything over medium rare burned, but I can recommend a seasoning- McCormick Grill Mates Spicy Montreal Steak. My dad has always been a firm believer that steak is too good to 'ruin' with seasoning, but once I introduced…

I'm in the same boat!!! I'm about 6'0 and nobody noticed I had lost weight till I lost about 25 lbs. I didn't even go down a dress size until that point! I've lost almost 50lbs, and I've gone down 2 1/2 sizes. I say this because I was in between 16/18 when I started and I'm a 12 now! I started at about 238 last summer and…

Spicy Tuna/Spicy Salmon are pretty simple and not that fattening. Still, pretty high sodium if you are gonna add the extras like soy/wasabi. Overall it is actually decent calorie wise...if you order the right thing! Stay away from the tempura ;)

My trainer told me to treat exercise as you do a job. That being said, if I aint making money, it is REALLY hard for me to do that. However, I set myself a goal every week of calories to 'burn' via exercise and my HRM and try to hit that goal. Sometimes, things just come up, and I have to work late or do something for a…

I don't know the exact age her momma was when she gave birth to her, but a girl who I went to high school with was a GREAT AUNT at age 16. Apparently her parents were very elderly, and her brothers and sisters treated her as their own daughter since they were closer to the age you'd expect a 16 year olds parents to be. She…

THANK YOU! I was considering making a post on this same subject. I am totally CHUBBY FIT! I have lost about 45lbs, but I'm still about 8 lbs away from what is considered a normal BMI for my height (I am 6'0, 188lbs, female, large frame). However, in the process of losing those 45lbs I have become an obsessive runner and…

I felt the same way. Not only was I decently overweight, AND a smoker, but I am tall and have a history of back problems and have big boobies. At first I struggled to run a 12 minute mile. I just kept bumping up my distance, increasing my speed, and now I am regularly running 4-6 miles at 6+mph paces. It helps to get the…

I feel like running outdoors takes much more of a toll on me than running on the treadmill, probably because of incline changes, wind resistance, etc. I prefer the treadmill because I can put my phone/waterbottle down and just run instead of lugging them with me which gets annoying.
