Cheesy tots on Chilli Fries?! WTF?
I just watched a commercial and I think I am about to throw up. I am one of those weirdos who gets some enjoyment out of good comercials, but this actually stopped me as I was walking through my living room. It was for Sonic Drive-in. I gues now they are saying that you can basically order anything that they serve anyway…

106lbs Lost...1 Year Later!
So I hit my goal of breaking into the lower side of 150lbs in the beginning of April of last year. Yes, I have kept it off! It hard to believe that it has been a year. It's even harder to believe that I let my self be so miserable with myself for so many years before fixing it. For those of you who are new to the site and…

Clothes must be made bigger now?
There is no other explanation. I went clothes shopping with my husband yesterday. (He picks much better clothes for me than I do.) So, we were looking around and he was picking lots of clothes in 8s and 10s, and mediums and smalls. I tried to tell him that they wouldn't fit, but he told me to try. Not only did they fit, I…

So I saw Twilight with my husband......
and we didn't really like it that much. We had an interesting discussion relating to the movie though. For those of you that are married, would you pick the same partner or even get married at all, if it were REALLY forever. Meaning you never die. Would you make the same choice in life partners if you knew you would be…

Maintaining is Harder than Losing.
True or False? My answer: True. I know it might seem easier to say from the prospective of not needing to lose anymore weight, but there is no end to it. No target. I am a very goal oriented person. Once I made up my mind and locked in on my goal, losing weight was very fast for me. 102lbs in 8 months. I worked harder for…

Personal Integrity vs. Working
I hope I word this right. I am getting ready to get out of the military and currently applying for a lot of jobs. I am in Japan so all of my job search and applying is done online. I just came by a position for a Sales Manager at Krispy Kreme. I will preface my discussion question by saying that obviously most people will…

I received a compliment!
I almost cried, but I held it in. I was with my son at the playground and I was talking to another mom while our kids played. A different mom came up and I told her that her skirt was beautiful and asked where she got it. Another lady laughed and said the problem is, you have to have a body like that to pull a skirt like…

Are girls ever happy with themselves?
I ask this coming from a girl's perspective. I feel I have done a decent job in the last year and a half first losing and then maintaining. However, I still feel that I would be happier if I lost about 20lbs more. I was discussing this with the checkout lady at our mini mart here on base (the store was really slow at the…

McDonalds Issue
As a rule in my household, we do not eat at McDonalds. For many reasons, but it is our choice. We do not openly push our idea of the place on others. I haven't eaten there in over a year and I think my older son has eaten there less than 5 times in his life time. (he will be 4 in a couple weeks) My younger son has never…

Toddler's and Tiaras
I am wondering what everyone here thinks of this show? Is it cute? Terrible? Do you watch it? My opinion: (coming from a parent of 2 boy toddlers) I have never seen an episode. I have only seen the previews they show on TLC and when ever the show makes the news, I see those images. At first, I simply despised the idea of…

Walking = Exercise?
Ok, I feel I definitely need to preface this a little bit. I understannd 100% that for many people, especially in the beginning, or for someone who is obese, walking is a great exercise and extremely productive! Walking is an excellent way to get up and start moving. My question is specifically for people who are in decent…

I am a big girl. I can take it.
I am in a mood today. I very rarely vent openly. This has been building up in me for a while now. I put a concentrated effort into being considerate of the struggles of losing weight, but I am going to snap right now and then go back to normal. Click and read at your own risk:…

I climbed Mt. Fuji ...Again ...W/a ton of pics!!
I posted my blog last night and a few people read it and commented some very nice things. However, it started bugging and several of my pictures started shrinking. I took down my blog and have been working on it for the past day and I believe I worked the kinks out. So, here again is my blog about my Mt. Fuji climb. It…

I DO NOT want to get another one of those. I do however want an reader device. I have an itouch and I use it a lot. It seems…

So SAD (Not Fitness Related)
I am in the United States Navy. Have been for almost 6 years now. I am stationed in Japan as some of you who follow me may know. For those of you who don't know our Navy family had a huge tragedy fall among us. A chinook was shot down and we lost 30 of our brothers. This has really hit me hard. It is so sad. I don't really…

A calorie is a calorie is a calorie?
Lets say for the purpose of this debate that the 2 people in this discussion are supposed to eat 1200 calories a day. One of them decides to eat two 200 calorie candy bars for 3 meals a day every day. The other eats 3 well balanced meals incorperating all of the food groups properly and does not go over 1200 calories for…

"Full" of Guilt
Anyone else feel guilty when they feel full? No matter what I eat, I always have a pang of guilt when I feel full. Like I ate to much, even when I didn't. (or am I crazy?)

Hi, my name is k2d4p, and I am a peanutbutter-aholic
Help! I absolutely love peanut butter. Crunchy, creamy, on sandwiches, on toast, on a spoon... Almost any way I can get it. Any one like this? Why does something so AWESOME have to be so high in calories? :sad: :sad: Life is cruel sometimes...:mad: :grumble:

Wanting an Unheathy Goal
What do you all think the problem is when I know the goal that I want is unhealthy, but I still want it. I want to reach a goal that I know for my height is not good. I just know that I am not happy where I am. I still feel overweight. I feel a little lost right now.

Finding non-workout shorts...
Ok, I am having the hardest time finding regular shorts. I don't know what I was expecting. When I was fat, I NEVER wore regular shorts. I would maybe wear capris on a really hot day. I hated my legs. Now, I live in Japan, so I do most of my shopping online. WHAT HAPPEND TO REGULAR LENGTH SHORTS!! 99% of all the shorts I…

Gaining weight from strength training?
I have added a lifting regimen to my workout routine for the past 2 weeks and I have gained 6lbs. I understand the concept of retaining water and I know that the body has to adjust to a new exercise. I am really not freaked out at all about it. I actually look better physically. I can already tell a difference. My question…

Another Question about Strength Training
I was speaking to someone the other day about lifting and they said that you must lift for 60 minutes to really get anything substantial out of it. I had told him that on the days that I lift, I do it for 30 minutes. That is on top of the cardio that I do on those days. I understand that when it comes to exercise,…
