The feelings don't stop after several years of marriage, they just shift into something more steady, kind of like a consistent warm glow instead of the flash and bang. Of course, if the two of you work at it the flash and bang still happens too:devil: P.S. I've been happily married for almost 15 years:love:

Walking is one of the best forms of exercise for you, and when the weather permits, take baby with you! Start slow and go from there! You can also add light weight training to tone up those muscles! Good luck!:smile:

Go to your home page go to settings diary settings click on 'public' :bigsmile: P.S. you can add me as a friend if you want to:flowerforyou:

I was a HUGE soda drinker before I started this journey!(4-5 a day). AND I would drink 3-4 coffees a day! Now I have 1-2 cups of coffee in the morning and MAYBE one in the afternoon if I'm really dragging! How I stopped drinking soda is I bought a large insulated cup with straw (holds approximately 3 cups) and I keep that…

I totally hear you! Added to the fact that I'm loosing sizes in the ladies, I also nursed 4 children! AND, all the women in my family have saggy boobs:sad: I swear, if I believed in plastic surgery, those would be the first thing to get a perk!

OMG!!! Me too! I thought I was the only one! I also LOVE office supply stores! All of the gizmos and gadgets. I get this giddy feeling every time I walk into one! It's weird, I know.

I'm on day 7 of 30DS and I have to agree that the first 4-5 days are the toughest because you will hurt in places you didn't know existed, but stick with it and it will get easier!!! I also log it in as circuit training. P.S. If you have a pilates or yoga video that has stretching I highly recommend it! Stretching is the…

*bump* really interested!

This is definitely true!! If your body isn't getting enough calories then it will horde the calories it gets especially if you're working out more. Also, water, water, water! It will help flush the sodium and help process fiber. Other than that, keep logging all of your food and get some supportive friends on here to help.…

I love the recipes from skinnytaste.com! I have a ton of books but I hate pouring through them. The internet, on the other hand, I can click through and only keep the ones I like.

Tanning beds are so bad for you!!!! Worse than long term sun exposure! I know the fad is to be super tan these days but being pale now is better than skin cancer when you're older!!

I have a bag of Ghirardelli dark chocolate chips hidden in the kitchen cabinet. Today my 3yo caught me dipping in the bag and asked if she could have some. When I told her, "No they're Mama's', she said "Well, that's rude" and stomped off. Horrible Mama won't share!:devil:

Double Ditto!:devil:

BE CAREFUL!!!! Sweat from your body can corrode the battery! Learned this form experience:bigsmile:

My hubby probably felt as you do before I decided to make 'the change'. He tried for years talking to me about my health (sometimes gently, sometimes Not so gently) but it never did any good. I kept on doing what I was doing and ignored everything he tried to tell me, even though it hurt hearing what he had to say. Then…

bump... interested in posts!!!:smile:

Eggs are a great source of protein! As for cholesterol, healthy eating and exercising helps to fight against the negative effects. Besides, you're not eating 6 eggs everyday! So, enjoy!

HA!!!!!!!!

Ditto!!!!!:devil: Gerard Butler too! And Sam Worthington! and Chris Hemsworth! We can take turns:bigsmile:

YES, YES, YES!!!! I cook mine with chicken or veggie stock to add good flavor. Can eat this stuff for breakfast it's so good:bigsmile:

LMAO!!!!! He's my Hollywood hottie:))))) The 300!:devil:

As obsessive at it may seem I weigh myself every night and every morning. I weigh myself at night because it gives me an idea how much I will weigh in the morning so it isn't as much of a shock if the scale goes up. There is usually a 3 pound difference being heavier at night of course. My weight yo-yo's from day to day…

Thank you so much! Everything you mentioned was in the article I read by a previous post. Very informative and helpful!!!!

i read this article and found it great!!! Thanks a million!

Thanks guys. I think my problem is with my form when running. I'll look into the couch to 5k program though, maybe the'll have some tips:)

300 (Gerad Butler:love: ) Underworld series Grease Steel Magnolias Fight Club Fifth Element Dark Knight (Christian Bale:love: ) Meet Me in St. Louis Just to name a few. I love watching movies as much as I love to read!

Loved Across The Universe. My husband hated it! I have a thing for musicals. I think it stems from watching Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire movie with my grandmother when I was little. Love anything with Vin Diesel:love: And one of my favorites movies of all time is a little known flick called 'Shag". It stars Bridget…

OUTSTANDING!! My jaw dropped!! You must be so incredibly proud of yourself! You are such an inspiration to us all!! WTG!!

I picked him up in a bar. He was leaning on the counter ordering drinks, I told him he had a nice *kitten* and the rest is history. 15 years and 4 kids later we're still happily married and he still has a nice *kitten*:devil:
