Awful, horrible, miserable day.
I know I've said it a million times here already, but...as of Wednesday, my husband will have been gone a month. He's in Iraq. I talk to him everyday, he has email access so I can write him emails, but... I am miserable. I had an absolute breakdown last night and again today. Usually I am fine and I get through my days…

Stubborn tummy.
I have lost 17 lbs, down to 128. I am 5'8", so my BMI is at 19.5. I'm just confused why my lower tummy area is being so stubborn. Do I really need to lose more weight? I just seem to have that bump. It's not huge or anything, it's just...there...and it's driving me nuts. What do I need to do to flatten it? Urgh!

American Idol: Country Week
Ok, I'm lovin' Chris and Matt. I think the criticism of Lil Rounds was a LITTLE (ha, I'm clever) too harsh. Alexis and Megan were forgettable. Anoop did SO MUCH better. Adam Lambert...I didn't mind him until tonight, not because I'm some snot who thinks he should have left the arrangement of a Johnny Cash song as is...but…

Reached goal weight and fit into those shorts!
Ok, so wow...it didn't take me long to reach my goal weight. I'm actually under it now. And today I tried on a pair of shorts I've been holding onto for about 3 years. They FINALLY fit again, albeit they are a little snug. Still, I can put them on, zip them up, and button them. WOW. I'm excited!!!! Now it's time for the…

Question about bronchitis...
I'm so frustrated. My little sister brought home what I can only guess is bronchitis. She and my mom have been sick for awhile. I finally caught the bug last Monday night when I started very light coughing. Tuesday morning I woke up and it was on. Fever, headache, achey body, a little bit of nasal congestion but not too…

Dear Deployment, I HATE you.
:explode: It was tolerable. It was okay. We talk everyday and had pleasant conversations and I sent him letters and packages. I had my one meltdown that you all know about because I posted about it here. I promise, I'm not having another one! What I am struggling with at this point is a miserable husband. It seems like…

Acne?
Do you guys know anything about food sensitivities and acne? Is it true dairy products are more likely to cause breakouts? I have been breaking out very badly in the last few weeks, and I've struggled with body acne (shoulders) since I was a teenager. It was considerably better when I was on birth control, and I suppose I…

She said I looked a lot thinner!
I saw an old coworker at the gym the other day in the ladies locker room. Well, my dad saw her today and she told him that I looked great and a lot thinner! Whoooooo! It's so hard for me to notice a difference because, well, I see myself in the mirror everyday! But she hasn't seen me since I started losing last year, so…

I ran today!
Running and me haven't mixed well in the past, and yesterday while I was on the phone with my husband he kept insisting that the best way to lose belly/thigh fat is to run. I very reluctantly got onto a treadmill today and miraculously ran for 10 minutes fairly easily. I know that's not a long time, but...it is for me. In…

I'm just smaller.
I'm starting to be able to tell now. The scale hasn't moved dramatically, I've only lost 4 pounds since I started (3 since I joined this website). But when I look at myself in the mirror, I can just tell I'm smaller! I have more energy all the time, I don't get worn out walking up and down the stairs. If I don't go to the…

How much does the birth control pill really affect your weig
I want to know what you guys think about this. I have been off the pill for awhile, but I would like to get back on it and into a routine of taking it before my husband comes home. I'm just worried because I see so many people complaining that the pill makes you gain weight. Even though I was on the pill before, I didn't…

Am I being realistic?
I am 136 lbs, 5'8", and 22 years old. My goal weight is 125. I just want to know if losing a pound a week is a realistic goal when I'm technically working on my "last 10 lbs." I'm trying not to be disappointed when I don't lose anything in a week...but I don't want to be maintaining quite yet, because I'm not down to my…

Tried on wedding dresses this weekend :)
I'm not really ready to buy a dress, but we went shopping where there are a bunch of outlet malls, and we were right next to a big bridal shop and I just couldn't resist. I tried on four dresses and determined I DO NOT LIKE big and poofy on me. It felt so strange. It was fun though, and it helped me figure out what styles…

Any suggestions for me?
Ok, like I said in my introduction post, I have a timeframe of about 6 months to lose only around 10 lbs. I'm 22, 5'8", and 137 lbs. I go to the gym everyday and I just started doing strength training along with the cardio I've already been doing. I want to tone up, primarly in my arms, thighs/hips, butt, and of course the…

Losing weight for my husband while he's in Iraq
Hey everyone... I am 22 years old, 5'8", and 137 lbs. I just got married on New Year's Eve and my husband left a little over two weeks ago for Iraq and he'll be gone for a year. My goal for now is to get down to 125 lbs and tone up my stomach, butt, thighs, and upper arms. I'm not really overweight at all, I'm just flabby,…
