Just looking for a gauge really! Does your other half: Do an equal share of the housework when he/she is home? YES! Cook for you? No, but that is more because I am awesome in the kitchen! haha! Go food shopping? YES! Give you massages when you ask? Yes, but I don't ask much. Tell you you are beautiful/handsome? Yep! Buy…

I am so seriously happy for you! Great job. And can your partner call my husband? :-) He is supportive, but could use the example!! Cheers, Christy

Yeah, dang user ID choice!

bjs06 I say 21 Take a WILD guess for me!?!? ha!

Howdy, I was starting to feel the same - I did it for 3 days and then my back went out... so I think I need to start it more slowly. That said, I was not doing any strength stuff before that, only cardio, so I am sure I just started too fast. But you sound like you are used to the gym but cannot go for a short time, in…

WOW! I finally know what TOM is! Duh - palm to head....

This could be sticky #1 in all topics!

Thanks and great job!!!

When you learn how to resize, will you tell me too!?!?! :-)

It is not just a British thing (reluctance to swap out foods), it is a European thing. But lately most places I have been to are used to the exclusion of the bad carbs in favor of the good carbs - if you ask up front if it is possible then you are not going to be embarrassed (call ahead). Enjoy!

Wow - I never thunk it! I will save those shoes then - I had chalked it up to pregnancy too!!

Fantastic! AND you are a Bengals fan :-) Yayy! Good for you.

Thank you. It took me 6 tries to get the photo to load and centered.... need a practice field next time! :-) Or I just need to search the instructions better !

I must say that when I want to feel good, I convert to LBS! :-) Made it to 30 lbs lost recently, and that just sounds so dull in kilos (about 14), but in pounds it is an awesome feeling! :-) Christy

Generally yes, at the start (the day of and day before I start) I retain water no matter how much I drink and weight about 4 or 5 lbs more than my weekly average, but by day 4 or 5 at the end, I am back to where I was if I keep to plan. I see this almost every month. Hope this helps! Christy

Nor in any place in Europe! At least I have never found a shop that sells egg beaters or anything similar.

Having stopped and started a number of times, with and without dieting and at many different weights, I have a very strong opinion that when I smoke I gain weight and when I am not smoking I lose weight. I was an occasional smoker for a few years too and that is when I gained the most - that is how it worked for me. Now I…

Fantastic!

I LOVE YOU for this. Bookmarked your page, and bumpity bump bump!

Thank you all for the serious and the funny replies. I appreciate both! I used to be lactose intolerant but had not had any issues with that recently, but also only recently started having cereal again. I will work on a process of elimination and as suggested, take walks alone sometimes! ha! It is indeed VERY uncomfortable…

Hi, you need to put img before and after the picture. [ img ] http://pic100.picturetrail.com/VOL1090/13411407/23915271/398963618.jpg [ /img ] Take out the spaces before and after the [ ] in both places here so you have no spaces and there you go. And CONGRATS! Great progress!!! Cheers, Christy

Seriously it is Betty Page and Christina Hendricks! Both in great shape (Betty in her day of course) and very curvy!

Happy to listen, and YOU ARE NOT ALONE! It is a struggle. That is why this site is here :-) Take it one day at a time, we all have to. Cheers, Christy

Hi there, It would be handy to know a little more about you. Where are you starting and where do you want to go? There is a big difference between starting in a size 22 and a size 10 (US sizes) and how much you can shed. But the best way will be to boogie! The 30 day shred, cardio stuff, whatever it is - work out 5 times a…

Howdy, I have my doubts about it, mostly the way it is described here many times. Dr. Barry Sears (The Zone) had a better explanation of this, I will try to explain how I remember it. Basically if you do not eat for a long period of time and then eat your body will naturally want to store more of those calories for later…

Hi there, There are many posts on this already in the forum if you use the search function. One really good one is: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/360317-found-this-and-had-to-share-for-loose-skin?hl=loose+skin#posts-4883474 Hope this helps! Cheers, Christy

8 ounces

That is super!! I can't wait to be overweight too!!!

Hi there, here is a site (similar to My Body Gallery for all shapes: http://www.mybodygallery.com/) but this one focuses on during and after pregnancy: http://theshapeofamother.com/ I found it very helpful to be realistic about my belly! I wear 'mom pants' now ... grrrr. Christy

Hi there, I will try to recreate because I cannot find the link anymore, but it is also saved as one of my meals if that is visible: Barilla Whole Wheat Pasta - Rotini, 2 oz (Dry) Oil - Olive, 1 tsp Garlic - Raw, 1 tsp Generic - Cherry Tomatoes , 1 -cup Wegmans - Rotisserie Chicken (Without Skin), 3 oz (I use a bit more)…
