I am so proud to be a woman, if there are still women in the world out there as strong as you. Its insanely difficult being a matriarch but kudos for you for not settling! the love of your life is out there and he would go to counseling for you, because you are worth it!

My sister is currently residing in her ex husbands hometown and now my niece is of school age and she cant move, mostly for financial purposes. It does suck being there, but I can promise that it will get easier so long as you continue to move forward. and if you ever need to talk to someone who has been there, you should totally pm me and id give you her facebook page.. cause shes alot like me and she enjoys helping esp if she can use the crappy experiences  shes been thru.. keep on truckin~!

congrats!!!!!

I too have been scammed at a Wawa parking lot.. it really does make  you think how sick this world is. I live right next to philly so we often go into the city, we have bums walk up to us and ask us for change bc we look nice like we are going somewhere and OBVIOUSLY have money...

I tend to feel the person out though. Most times if someone is standing there ill give them a little something should I have it. For example, I used to keep a bag of snack packs of cookies, crackers granola bars etc, and I was driving out of the city when I saw a guy holding up a sign. I rolled down my window and handed him a bunch of the food I had and his eyes lit up, he was so grateful I almost cried. He too said Thank you so much maam, god bless you!.. ya esp when it says handicapped war vet you feel like p.o.s.

Not to get into this, but since it was asked... If you are a Christain technically it is right to give & do charitible things while we have so much and others dont. So if nothing else, i remind myself that I held up on my end of the deal. If the person is lying, GOD will take care of HIM himself =)

As far as your body itself, curves are sexy. Its part of being a woman. You're young healthy and beautiful. Instead of beating yourself up about eating too much, maybe you should go for a walk.

P.S> Roxanaroxi, most woman have a small"bump" on their stomach, it doesnt make us "fat" or out of shape.. Its the way genetics makes us up..

dkenworthy, i never really got that calorie deficient thing before..... Thank you so much!

lmao <3 this.. think ill go eat some oatmeal for breakfast now...

i know that maybe muscle maybe breaking down (you know the old "muscle is more dense than fat") so I find when this happens to me its partly being taken up by fat.. thats not to say i LOOK fat, but my body shifts to accomodate. BUT what you can do is to take it where it is now and slowly shift back into working out..If you dont do this soon than it wont be long before the weight begins to pile back on. This is the EXACT thing that happened to me two months ago..

besides that, try to drink some hot tea, or i do hot water with lemon. It really helps in the cold weather if your insides are warm lol I feel your pain. Best of luck on your journey!

Original Post by fitnessgirll:

run at at least 3 %. It's the most equivalent to running on a relative flat surface outside. I would also recommend alternating the incline and speed as you run since interval training is much better for your heart/lungs and burns more cals!

In case you needed a second opinion, Ive also heard this.

Even when i switch to outdoors its still a little difficult, but its a good starting point!

Gi-Janes advice is always good.. so id def listen to her. However an alternative if you so choose is to eat some fruit (water-rich perhaps) about a half hour before your cereal. That should fill you up slightly then when you do have your cereal, add some ground flax seed and maybe some more fruit and nuts! Thats what I do bc i eat like a beast in the morning and this seems to help. The flax and nuts provide the protein and fiber you need to fill you up while the fruit helps to bulk up the cereal so you feel like you eat more.

GL with your quest frankster

Wes, can you suggest any websites? I too have had this question and looked but I can't seem to find anything along those lines! But I've heard the 10% rule before and thats pretty much all Ive got. THanks also!

Ridoking, job well done completing the 5 miles! And good luck with finding the right program to aid you in competing a marathon =)

Peppers, Onions, Bok Choy. Crispy noodles (sprinkle on after! But lightly as they do have a higher calorie content when taken in big protion) I'll even do zucchini or yellow squash and green beans. Throw it over some brown rice and you've got yourself a pretty balanced meal =)

I'm in two weddings next year, does that count! My first two EVER to be specific. I too am trying to lose 10 lbs.
