Don't forget us tomboys, we'd like some non-girly tickers too. What about a mountain background with hiking boots at the little mover? something? Anything!

People actually said that to you? You looked good before, but you look healthy and hotter than ever now!

Stir fries are great! Also roasted sweet potatoes, carrots, cauliflower (michael ruhlman has a GREAT recipe), onions. If you like bean soups or any soup really add in some sauteed spinach. Honest Fare has a lot of terrific recipes on line that are mostly vegetables, like Kale Potato mash-up. Maybe challenge yourself to try…

I don't know what the "cheater's diet" is. I fit is just a short term thing, then whatever she might gain it back, but also remember that everyone loses weight differently.

They're compliments, just that. Are they people you know? Strangers? I'd just treat them the same, if it isn't obviously a come on then it is what you make of it.

My current goal is 150, but honestly, I think once you get closer to where you want to be you'll have a good idea of what to do next. I want to lose fat, but I want to gain some muscle, so if I weight 160, but look great then that's fine with me. Good luck!

My husband has tinnitus. He's a musician,has played guitar for 15 years, and it doesn't get i the way of that, but at night when it is quiet that is all he hears. We have a fan going in our room to block it out for him. His dad had it and it just went away one day. I think it is different for everyone, I saw an article on…

Well, at least it's only 2 lbs. higher and not 5!

You won't get crazy buff, don't worry. I lift weights and use the machines around the gym so that I keep my muscle, but lose the fat. Otherwise I'd lose fat and muscle and just look flabby at my goal weight. Ew. Good luck!

Awesome!

This is obviously very difficult for you, and I don't think there is anything anyone can do to change her mind. It's a tough road for you, you should definitely keep being a good example to her, and as someone said before maybe have a brutally honest talk with her and get your family on board to stop letting do this, even…

I've been on a Coheed & Cambria kick for the past few days because my husband was playing an acoustic song by Claudio. Also really like bands like The Replacements, The Decemberists, Person L, Modest Mouse, but also occasionally The Bled or The Band. Variety!

Working tomorrow, then just hanging out, packing, and working out for the rest of the weekend. We're moving at the start of March, so plenty to do!

I gained a bunch of weight while on ortho when I was younger.

My friends are pretty good about it. We had dinner at one girl's house last week and there was lasagna, but also a huge salad and hummus, we just kind of pick at what we want.

I agree, this is an awful situation, but I think the best thing you can do is be there for both your daughter and you future son-in-law. I don't know if he has always been treated as second class by his mum, but I think it'll be great to have you in his life now, to support and love his children and so on. Have a great…

Some things may not be quite right, but overall I've had a good experience with it. I work out, I eat back my exercise calories, and I lose weight. Do remember that everyone is different and it is your body. We all get different results.

Good work!

I prefer tea (any tea) over coffee. When I stopped drinking coffee I noticed that if I did have a cup occasionally it would rip apart my stomach for the whole day. I don't know if green tea has any real benefits, but I feel like it's good for me and that's enough for me!

Our brains get faster to a new routine than the rest of our bodies, hang in there.

Sometimes yes. Online it's easy to be anonymous and says inflammatory things without feeling guilty or taking blame, so maybe that is a part of it. I think the best thing to do is to lead by example, so we classy folk better get a move on!

My mom (and by extension me since I live nearby) grow tomatoes, peppers, lettuce, herbs, and a couple years ago I grew tomatillos. At my apartment we just grow herbs usually, not enough sun for many things, though we pick our own food at some nearby farms.

You look great! Fantastic job!

If you're burning that much then try eating more earlier in the day. Good luck!

I get up and walk around and lift books or other things in lieu of weights.

Dance! Make up a mix of songs you really like to move to and turn it up and dance in your home!

I don't drive

Ditto! Some days I just scroll through here to see pics to motivate me, because sometimes it feels like I'm a gerbil in a wheel not getting anywhere. :D

I use Tom's brand deodorant (for men or women, not that is matters), but my husband sweats like it's his job and he uses Dove's Men+ Clean Comfort I believe and it does the trick. Though remember that deodorant is for smell, antiperspirant is for moisture. If you don't wear an undershirt with short sleeves that might help…

I have a Nalgene water bottle, it holds 32 oz. and I face the side with the measurement towards me. If I see I have 28oz. left and it's already noon then I remember to chug some. I do this throughout the day. You could leave yourself sticky notes or set your computer/phone to have an alarm every hour telling you to drink…
