National Granny Panty Day
I declare today National Granny Panty Day. I will never understand why MEN want women to wear lacey, see thru, tinie-tiny, g-stringy panties. It’s not comfortable & it doesn’t make me feel sexy when something is going up my >>. I am not a Victoria Secret angel, I don’t have wings, I can’t even fly. What is wrong with…

It never ends for me. Where…

Making the Most of Gym Time
Hello All - I recently joined a gym after a very long hiatus. I have been going for about 3 weeks but other than jumping on the treadmill for 30 minutes and doing some copy cat Jillian Michael ab & strength moves, that’s about it.

Sick & Tired of Being Sick & Tired
Just venting.. But, I am really getting fed up with worrying about my weight which leads to me be critical about my body. I got away from counting the calories for awhile cause I just became too obssesive about it. But, this morning, when I looked at my body & all the soft contours of my abs and waist... I felt disgusted.…

At 135 lbs...Pictures don't lie and I am So Discouraged
Before I started MFP, I knew I had put on some weight @ 141lbs. Clothes were not fitting right and actually a co-worker mentioned that it looked like I had put on weight.. Well that did it. I was devastated but it was a wake up call. I was running off & on but never ever counted my calories until now. I have lost 6 lbs…

New & 40

I am not sure if it was lack of excercise or age. I just recently turned 40. Right now I…
