The murder house
So as morbid as this is...the house across the street from my mom's is the neighberhood murder house. The guy that lived there shot his wife and tried to shoot their kid and then killed himself. Now the wife and kid both doing fine. I guess she was trying to leave him anyway. Well this is like a 600k house. 5 bedrooms 5…

Ab jam - Literally
Yesterday I was doing the Turbo jam Ab-Jam when all of the sudden I had a muscle spasm from hell. It was on the right side just under my ribcage. It felt like a charlie horse! The pain was intense and the muscle was completely locked-up. Has this ever happened to anyone before? Any suggestions on what to do. I was plenty…

Finally posting some pics :)
Ok I am going to give posting pictures a try. I really had no idea how different I looked with 20lbs gone until my mom showed me this picture. The first was taken in June at my son's 1st birthday. The second was recent. Its funny because the first pic was what made me finally say I need to get back in shape NOW! I really…

Looking for friends EXACTLY like me
Hi, I want to add new friends. But I want you to be exactly like me. You must be a black female with a mexican grandmother. You must be 5'4. You must have exactly 9.2 lbs to lose. I would prefer if you were athiest but agnostics are welcome I guess. You must have been born in the month of July during a lunar eclipse.…

Living next to a Pit Bull
First off I am not one of those people that are scared of all large dogs. I am fostering a very sweet, well-trained doberman. I also do not blame any particular dog for its behaviour. But as we are all aware people choose to breed ill-tempered dogs all of the time. And unfortunately if you do not train a dog like a pit or…

FU-PMS
Seriously. So far today I have cried at... E.T. Harry Potter Deathly Hallows 2 and The Princess and the Frog. I seriously thought my divorce had sealed my tearducts for life. Nothing shakes me. Nothing moves me. Nothing makes me cry. Today I am a wet mess. And not the good kind. So F@#$ you PMS.

Thirsty at night?
I drink water all day long. But I am usually just forcing myself to stay hydrated and I rarely feel thirsty. However at night I feel as though I have spent a day in the desert! I am so parched its almost painful. I have been tested for diabetes. Negative. I don't consume much sodium (I don't like the taste of salt). Its so…

Walking dead (spoilers!!!)
I watch this show to be scared...not sad. Two weeks in a row they have made me cry. It's pissing me off. And what...are they trying to kill off all of the kids?

Did you do the HCG diet?
The HCG diet seem to come up here at least once per day. So I would like to hear from anyone that has managed to keep the weight off for 6 months to a year or more. **FYI I have NO plans to try anything other than my net 1200 calories and exercise.** Im just really curious since everyone 'knows' someone that had XYZ…

Increasing calories
I know quite a few people have suggested to increase calories when you hit a plateau. My question is are you increasing net calories? Or are you increasing overall calories and boosting exercise as well? In other words is it truly a calorie increase or are you increasing your exercise and thereby needing to eat more. Or do…

Greys Anatomy
Ok - I know that the show is fictional. I fully understand that. But Derrick is really starting to piss me off. Meredith threw herself in front of a GUN for you *kitten*. She tried to save your friends wife. She took care of the baby YOU wanted to adopt while you were MIA. She should be the one pissed at you! Im really…

Spinning with knee pain advice
I love spin class. But I have avoided it for the last couple of months because it kills my knee. I tried taking an alleve before class. I usually can't finish the full hour. Then for the next day or 2 my knee is really stiff and sore. Even with icing and heating. Any advice that will allow me to keep taking the class? Knee…

Turning heads
I went to dinner with friends last night at a very upscale restaurant. It was a great excuse to get dressed up. I was planning to wear one outfit when I decided at the last minute to pull out one of my size 8 dresses. It fit! But that's not my victory. I got up to use the bathroom and as I walked across the restaurant I…

Sex, Lies and Stretch Marks
Ok there isn't really any 'sex'...but I have some horrible stretch marks since having my son. The doctors told me that I would have to pay for some expensive laser treatment. I am here to tell you...LIES!!! I have been using Retin-A on them for a few weeks. My hips and belly are totally raw but they are reduced by about…

Kid Costume Ideas
So while my son is still young enough to do silly stuff with..I want to dress us in some cute Halloween costumes that I can take pictures of and one day embarass him by showing them to girlfriends. Or maybe just take them out and look at them when he reaches the stage of not wanting mommy! He is 15 months. Here are my…

eHarmony had made things worse!
OK - this may be hard to tell because in my pictures I'm a fatty....but I actually clean up pretty well. And soon (very soon) I WILL be back to being hot again. But I am also a single mother that works from home. So meeting eligible men is difficult. Actually its been pretty much non-existent. So I decided to sign up for…

Terms that annoy me!
I just read where someone said they were annoyed by those referring to their weight loss as a journey. You are losing weight not trying to return the ring of power to the fires of Mordor. I almost peed my pants. Now it's all I can think about when someone mentions their journey. The phrase that gets me is "do your…

Arch nemesis!
I always like to keep an arch nemesis. A person I just can't stand and focus all of my anger on. It was a former friend that just decided one day we weren't friends anymore. She has done that to all of our former mutual friends too but I chose to take it personally. Anyway she recently sent me a message on Facebook telling…

Another nsv
I am on a business trip and I have a standard pair of black pants I always bring with me. I haven't worn them in over a month and they are falling off of me! I have had to pull them up every few mins. Even my blouses are big. I must have dropped at least one size! I'm almost embarrassed to wear them again but I didn't…

I see you looking ;) - NSV
I am just under 1/2 way to my goal but I have already noticed Im turning a few more heads these days. Not like I did pre-baby but I caught a few guys checking me out in the mall. Maybe losing this weight is giving me back my confidence and they are picking up on that. When I hit my goal Im going to buy a little black dress…

Calling all single moms!
Losing weight is hard enough without having to balance home, work and baby alone. Although I have great support from my extended family I would love to have more friends that can relate :) Please add me. Ps. Im the mother of the adorable 13 month old boy in the picture. He is my 'weight' during home excercise. At 22 lbs he…

I just need to vent
I don't like to complain to family or friends so please bear with me as you all are my MFP friends... I love my son. I really really do. But pregnancy sucked. And the weight is coming off so so so slowly. I am not good at losing weight. I am impatient and a big baby! That is why I maintained a healthy weight for so long. I…

Would you rather...?
Would you rather have a million dollars or be able to eat anything you wanted and always remain health and at your perfect weight? What about 5 million? 10 million? I've been sitting here thinking about it and I really don't know. Am I THAT hungry lol?

Feeling discouraged
Since I had my son a year ago I have only lost 20 of the 40 lbs I gained. And most of the was in the beginning. Now a year later after just tracking my calories and trying the new WW points plus (which I really didnt like)....I finally decided to join Jenny Craig. I have never had a problem losing a few lbs here and there…
