Wow what an inspiration! You look beautiful. You should be so proud of yourself.

With some time being lazy laying on the couch watching tv, with no self guilt allowed (like I should be washing laundry, etc). And when I come into a little extra cash-a new coach bag is on my radar :)

I understand where you're coming from. These types of situations are going to happen unfortunately we are all going to be faced with this during our lifetimes-parties, birthdays, holidays, etc. My advice would be to put out your healthy options and eat those. If you feel like you will still want to eat some of their food,…

A 2 week Jamaican vacation-all by myself :)

Thank you for this! I'm so in love with strength training. Never felt stronger.

Welcome! I've been on for almost 6 months and have had pretty good results. Feel free to add me for support :)

You are absolutely right. I will have to make sure I thank her. I was too momentarily "frustrated" that people think I'm starving or cutting out food groups to realize she was trying to be considerate of me. Eek. :blushing:

Ah it's the small annoyances that just make life worth living...haha. If it really bothers you, sit him down and talk about it. You don't want to be the couple who murders each other over who forgot to change the TP roll. And if that doesn't work-I agree with prior poster-dump his stuff in a pile somewhere and let him work…

Ah hell no!!! That is pure evil. I would be pissed if I went in for a workout only to have to smell pizza the whole time. :devil:

Is there some way I could buy them from you? lol From experience, if you don't have a heart rate monitor, you may be over calculating your workout calories. Otherwise, yep, peanut butter, almonds, etc are great.

^ This

Be prepared for pain! I'm about 2 weeks in-great workout.

I bet I can guess what happened next...she stares you down with a funny look, thinking, "there's something odd about this one" haha. I'm going to start making up crazy diets to mess with people like the dog food diet thing. Or I only eat 8 almonds per day and that's all.

This video is so funny. He's such a happy guy! His tail's wagging the whole time and he is just in love with that lady. Absolutely vicious, haha.

I get so upset when I hear things like this. Shame on them! You just keep your head up and ignore them. I agree with prior poster-I hope they fall off the treadmill. And then drop a heavy weight on their feet too. (((HUGS)))

I'm sorry you have to go through that. I had mine surgically removed when I was around 13. I do remember that I didn't eat but took the pain meds and they made me throw up. So I would suggest at least trying to drink a little chicken broth or something before taking your pain meds. I agree with others-mashed potato, soup…

Ick, people like that are awful. I have seen it on the other end and can say a friend of mine in college had rich parents that were super generous and kind. Always taking us out for dinners when they came to visit, and just wonderful people in general. So that's good to know too. And their daughter was always kind and…

I have a breakfast sandwich most days and it's very filling and low calorie. Thomas English muffin multigrain 100 calories Egg white 17 calories Turkey sausage link (40) or patty (60 calories) Optional: 1/2 slice of sharp cheddar full fat cheese (40 calories) or instead of turkey sausage, center cut bacon 1 slice (23…

Some people just feel like it's more important to party and have fun then raise kids properly. I'm no expert, but I'm the same as you-would never do those things. Seems like they aren't quite ready to grow up themselves and be good role models. What a shame. There's something called a babysitter-use one :drinker:

Mine did that for the first month or so of exercising on the elliptical. I got new shoes (wider) and it has stopped. I don't know if my body just got used to it or it was the shoes. I would say make sure you're shoes aren't too tight.

A couple weeks ago I watched a lady walk on the treadmill while drinking a mountin dew she bought from the machine at the gym. WTH really burn and take in at once? A waste of time! [/quote] *smacks palm to forehead* Too funny :laugh:

Bwahahahaha! So true. Good Lord that man scares me half to death!

Bring it on!! Feel free to add me :)

I have one from thirtyonegifts.com and I love it. I think it was less than $15, very cute, and insulated. And there's plenty of room in it. Hope this helps :)

^^ I know this sounds nuts but I've found it to be true also.

Strength training (30 DS) killed my weight loss for about 2 weeks, I even gained a lb even though I was eating great. But it has since dropped off. Don't lose the faith. This is a tough journey but you will succeed :)

Strong, beautiful, and comfortable in my own skin.

Family-no doubt. I miss my Gram like crazy since she passed away and I cherish every minute I had with her.

I would talk to them. I have a 4 year old pit who we call smush puppy because he's so snuggly. But if we are outside and he's tied up, he barks because he wants attention, and I'm sure to others it might seem scary. If you like the neighbors and feel comfortable buying the house, you can always put up a fence for peace of…

Hahaha. I know right? And if no one sees you eat them it REALLY doesn't count, lol. Love biscotti!
