And of course I fell back into bad habits. Now I'm fat again and extremely upset about it. I need suggestions....what kind of exercises can I actually…

Headaches...
The past two days I've had such nasty headaches. It feels like I'm being stabbed over and over again. It makes me want to do nothing but lie in bed with an ice pack on my head. I don't want to eat but I know I have to. My problem is I'm allergic to all over the counter pain med (acetaminaphin-Tylenol, ibuprophen-Motrin,…

Waist to hip ratio
Apparently my waist to hip ratio is too high. So how do I fix that? I've already lost 18 pounds. I'm still overweight but not excessively. But I always carry the most weight in the middle. How do I fix that/. Should I change my food intake? I know about sit ups. I use the torso twist and abdominal machines at the gym…

Size 7!!!
I buttoned my good old size 7 jeans today! I really did. The jipped and buttoned! Ok...they don't fit right yet. The waistband is too tight, but I could button them! That mean's I'm getting there! When I started my size 11s were getting hard to button! Now I'm buttoning a 7! I'm excited! Won't be long now...I hope....

Suggestions wanted...
I seem to do the same exercises every day...it's getting a tad boring. I walk the treadmill, do the step ups, use my bands for my arms (I have an injured shoulder so I have to be easy on my arms). Sometimes I add pelvic lifts and torso twists. I play with my son on the WII or Kinect. But for the times I'm not on the game…

Bye Bye Batty
It's been about 12 weeks... I'm down 22 pounds. It's not my goal but I'm getting there :) I no longer look 7 months pregnant (My youngest is 4 1/2 so I haven't been pregnant in quite a while). My back no longer needs a bra. My arms no longer flap like bat wings. I no longer have 12 chins and chipmunk cheeks. But my newest…

Has this happened to anyone else...
Or is it just me? I am an admitted carboholic. But since starting here I've cut my carb intake a great deal. It's a good thing too because I was close to diabetes... But last night I decided to break the rule. My fiance and I went out to celebrate some things and went to Bugaboo Creek. It was the first time I had ever been…

"Toning" Shoes
I saw all of those commercials for the shoes that are supposed to tone your legs or butt... I purchased a generic pair of sneakers at walmart that are supposed to be equivalent to the Sketchers brand. When first putting them on they feel really weird. It's like you are rocking front to back...kind of like being in a…

So called important questions...
I've seen many posts here. As to be expected there are questions regarding calorie intake, having your family participate in your life changes, weight loss, exercise and so on...
