I love this thread. I'm a proud FOIDer.. I target shoot for fun. I have firearms and receive training on firearms so I don't have to be a victim should something terrible start to happen. Also, I have a firearm because it's my 2nd amendment right. We don't know what the future holds... we never know who the enemy of our…

Love the show!!! And I gotta agree with him - Fish, salad and water does give more energy!!!

You're doing great!!! I'm full of stretch marks and tons of scars from different surgeries.... big ol' nasty one an inch wide that runs all the way from my upper abdomen to my ... well... low low lower abdomen :o) And when I'm not so flubby, I'll rock my scars just like you!

Beautiful then and beautiful and HEALTHY now!!! Great job!!

Duck face is horrible. It should have been contained to MySpace and left there. It just looks dumb. On Everyone. No Exceptions. it's not cute. It's not flirty. Boys don't like it. Opening your eyes really big and looking away doesn't make it look like someone caught you naturally looking like this. And if you DO naturally…

For me, If I don't sleep with a bra, my chest/shoulder muscles get So sore... Something to do with tendonitis. Occasionally I'll throw "caution to the wind" and make the hubs happy and leave it off, but... more times than not - the girls need that lift! I'm sure as I rebuild muscle, that'll change.

You look so healthy!!! I wish my hubs could see this and appreciate it --- and see that it IS possible for someone with his body type to get in shape! He's just not ready yet.

Beautiful then and beautiful and HEALTHY now!!! Congrats!!!!!!!

Don't be afraid to ask for assistance from your doc! I was the one who approached him about it and when I asked how it is that I can go there and they see my weight and no one says anything - he said that if he tells me I have to lose weight, I won't want to hear it or that I'll start and fail because "the doctor told me…

Crunchy and End. If the apes find it more efficient to peel from the end - so do I,.... learn from the experts!

Kashi is my secret weakness.... I am the 8th Grain on a mission!! (really! I even had a blog... but it got hijacked and so I re-did it, but stopped writing after something happened, but going to start it again next week now that I'm going vegan... This is really quite too long to be in parenthesis....)

I see a lot of people gettin' bullied on the boards. I generally stay away from them - most of the time. I'd like to see groups added.... A group(s) for serious questions looking for serious answers would be great :o) I use the Search function frequently... I'm sure that'll stay, right??

I'm so glad that you were the person helping the patient... I know it's so horrifying to have to say our weight out loud -- but at least she had to say it to someone who didn't judge negatively based on appearance and you understand the struggle.

Thanks guys!! I went in the pool tonight and I can't really swim with out losing feeling in my arm, but I was fine treading water. I need to break down and do the Yoga stuff..... I'm sure I can find someone I know with an eliptical - I love using them when I stay at a hotel!! You guys are great... I always know I can get…

I swim in the summer - we have a great pool - but the season will be ending soon...

My PANTS people will appreciate this... I was living back in my home town and dating my boyfriend who lived a few hundred miles away (we've since gotten married). I worked double shifts 7 days most weeks, but when i did get a day off, I got in the car and drove south to see The Hubs. It was about a 3.5 hour drive. One of…

I have reverse cowgirl on a post it on my fridge. It does work.

hahahahhahahahahahahahahahaha!!! Best. Answer. Ever :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I got mine at REI...

I seriously snorted reading this.

You have to cycle your arguing on your internet... you gotta argue really hard for 3 days a week, stop for a day, MAYBE 2, ease into it and then go full force again for 3 days. Everyone knows that. Duh.

Legs and arms....

You made it to the 4th page --- it'll get ugly on this page... haha!

You seriously need that cartoon tattoo'd to you..... lol!!!

I couldn't agree more with this. You can see it in her post -- she says she's healthy, but has a lot of medical assistance which she describes as keeping her healthy. Faulty view of health is apparent!! If she's happy or not - I dunno - but I definitely see that same thought pattern I had, "can't beat 'em? join 'em!" and…

And after I saw the post above me - couldn't agree more. well said! Except - maybe the insults weren't REALLY necessary - but I still respect your message. Everyone has their own perception. No angry feelings needed.

I log my cleaning if I'm breaking a sweat - other than that... nope. But - to each their own. It'll show on the scale.

I get made fun of every year about Yams. I lived in an area where no one ate sweet potatoes or Yams... and someone once told me that they got sick off of canned yams - that you can get food poisoning from them. My first Central IL thanksgiving with my hubs family - they had Sweet Potatoes. I was terrified to eat them -…

I'm in for September!! August has been a rough month - but still trying to keep up.
