This. Someone please clear this up for me. It's probably really obvious, but I'm not greatly familiar with either and I just don't seem to get it.

Maybe a little bit. But as long as you don't actually push Praying Mantis Lady over a cliff (or off her shoes, whichever), it's negligible.

This. Just like how we sometimes go to funerals for the people we love who are grieving rather than the person who died, some letters like this are written for our benefit not for the actual purpose of delivering to the intended recipient.

amazing job! so proud of you! and i love the shape of your face, you are so pretty- in BOTH pictures.

This is what I do. I also subtract out the 10 minutes used for warming up and cooling down, and never go above the medium selection for calculating calorie burn. To make it easier, I usually just log it as aerobics and input the time and cals myself from the other site.

Heck yes it's okay to go alone. I understand your disappointment but yeah, it's totally cool. Do it anyway and you can go at your own pace and explore everything. Be sure to tell her how much she missed out.

I do not want to invalidate your feelings here, because even simple comments from someone we care about can be hurtful, but it really doesn't sound like he was trying to be rude or vicious about it. Props to you for the comeback you made, letting him know that itw as hurtful and inappropriate. But reaction comes across as…

HEB and Sprouts (formerly Sun Harvest, also affiliated the the brand/store? Henry's- big on organic and health food stuff and bulk grains and such). Never WalMart.

Boobs will go down based on the amount you plan to lose and what you start with... they are composed of fat, so if you work out long/hard enough, they'll decrease in mass. For some, they'll lose there easily and for others they'll lose faster in other places. I have only gone down a cup size (DD to D) but have lost inches…

Endorphins are so addicting. I may drag my feet going to the gym sometimes, but a lot of the time I'm genuinely pumped to be there, and I feel awesome afterward. I hate how much I sweat, but it feels so good. I feel like after I work out I can do whatever I want with my day. That's a good feeling, too. More concretely, I…

Snooped in your diary and noticed a huge difference between yesterday and today. It definitely takes time, and as others have said, cut back a little and focus on manageable changes rather than feeling you have to keep strictly to plan right off the bat. It does sound like a drastic change for you. That being said,…

Pretty sure she meant the former not the latter.

I was holding my breath hoping that you'd say "udderly"... since it's a dairy product... Yeah... Sorry i'll be over there...

Ooh. I need to look for this product. Thanks for the reminder!

Marry me.

You found me!

Sorry, this. If the citrus/acid thing is a big part of what you're looking at, look somewhere else? If it's just a minimal part, I'd say sub as necessary for recipes but go to a diff site (chowhound was suggested) and make the topic more specific.

haha, I love it! Keep up the great work! :)

Girl! You look damn good! Keep it up! :)

This. Who the heck wants to get up for an 830 class on Saturday?! Well, when that's the only class worth taking ALL WEEKEND... sigh.

Bump. Went down several sizes band-wise when I lost weight, and seem to have found my new size in my preferred brand by trying many on, but should probably get pro sized.

Still need to watch that, I've heard great things. A friend's diagnosis as pre-diabetic kind of served as a second hand shock to me to get my act together, so I kind of understand. I'm glad you're motivated to take responsibility and do what you need to. Good luck! :)

I've lost just under 50 since the beginning of the year but have plateaued for the past month and a half, it's been slow going since then. Have upped my cals to see if that helps but not noticing a difference so getting frustrated. Originally I was at 1200 cals andfor the past month or so upped to 1500, have started eating…

5'5", gw1 150. Sounds about right for me and what I want. Assuming I ever get there, 140 might be even better but I doubt I'd go below that.

Did you recently start working out? Is there a chance you could be pregnant? What does your protein consumption look like?

If you're this concerned about it, I'd just stay away from them for the rest of the day for peace of mind, but it probably isn't that bad.

Anyone who talks on their cell phone for more than about a minute needs to get the hell off the equipment or end the call. And I get really irritated by the women who use the treadmill or elliptical (or any other equipment) at the gym and proceed to chat LOUDLY the entire time, never getting their heart rate up and…

I've recently lost just under 50 lbs and have gone from a full 42/44DD to a 38/40D. At first I obsessed over them not being as big, and I'd already had sag issues, but it's not as bad as expected and almost seems to be improving? It might be in my head though. I think I may be experiencing the optical illusion thing others…

It doesn't affect me in that area at all. I just get really easily aroused and can't/don't really do anything about it, so I get frustrated and irritable.

awesome job!
