You shouldn't feel silly! I love the Wii fit! I always feel like I'm getting a good workout on it. The only thing is that I don't feel it weighs you correctly. I weighed myself on it once and it said 155, which is about how much I weighed at the time. A week later it said I weighed 126 which I knew couldn't be right so I stepped off of it and got right back on and it said I weighed 135. That is when I decided not to beat myself up so much when the Wii fit guy calls me fat!

I thought it was BS but I am glad you guys think so too! I have just decided, like you, ccforme, that cellulite happens so I am wearing a bikini to the beach next week whether or not my thighs look like they are filled with mashed potatoes! Helpful tip: if you feel like you're retaining water, heat up the juice of one lemon and a little bit of water as hot as you can stand and chug it. Lemon is a natural diuretic, so you'll pee about every 5 minutes for about 3 hours, but when it's over you will be flushed of toxins and no longer retaining water. Is it also true that using one of those little hand held massagers on your problem areas reduces cellulite because it increases circulation?

He actually said it once before on our second date after we kissed for the first time and I knew he was just caught up in the moment so I told him I didn't want to say it until I was sure I meant it and, being the wonderful person he is, he understood perfectly. This time, though, I know he really meant it. I do feel like I should say it to his face when it is the right time. I don't know if I love him yet, but I do know that I'm getting there. It's also that time of the month, so I figure it's not the best time to make an important decision like that. Lol

Slowly, but surely, I am starting to open up a little bit. It's not been anything earth-shattering yet, but baby steps. He'll say "You look beautiful today" and I'll say "So do you" and then I'll laugh and say "No, but really. You look nice." It may not sound like much, but it is to me. Just little things like that. That's where, in my opinion, the real romance is. When we're sitting on the couch watching TV together, or when we go for a walk, or when we just glance at each other, smile, and don't say anything. That's where the real romance is. It probably wouldn't hurt to say something when he's being all sentimental, though. Baby steps. = )

I can see where you're coming from. What I've always believed, and what the Baptist church teaches, is that it's not works that saves you or confession to a priest. It's a personal relationship with Christ. None of us are perfect, including Christians, so we're going to slip up sometimes. Of course, we are to try to avoid this as much as possible, but when we make mistakes, we are not accountable to anyone other than Christ. We confess our sins to Christ in prayer and ask Him to save us. After this happens, all our sins are covered by His blood: past, present, and future. That doesn't mean, however, that we can just go out and do whatever we want and not expect consequences. We are supposed to live out our faith every day. I hope this helps a little. = )

I know a girl from church who got engaged when she was 16! The guy came to church with her a couple of times and he looks like he's 30. He turned out to only be a couple years older than her, but he still looked creepy. I did not approve. She stopped coming to church after they got engaged. I am afraid she's going to end up pregnant. The wedding is supposed to be in about a year. Scary!

I turn on a cd really loud so I can hear it all over the house and walk around in my underwear, or a towel. One time I made cookie dough without the eggs so I could just eat it raw. That was all I had to eat that day and I was so sick later! I wish it were more exciting. = (

My mom can never remember anyone's name, so when she's talking about someone she will always call them Mr. or Mrs. "Whatchamajigger" or "Doodly" . It drives me crazy! The sad part is I normally know who she's talking about. Also, whenever me or my sister says "Guess what" she says "Chicken squat: put it on bread and see what you got." I really have no idea what that means.

I had been using another site, but my computer would no longer let me use it for whatever reason. I really needed a calorie count website to help me stay on track, so I did a Google search and found this. To tell you the truth, I like it so much better.

how much have you lost?

I'm about 15-20 pounds down

is this the 1st time or a repeat performance?

I had lost about 30, but gained back 10.

are you finished?

No. I still want to lose about 20 more.

how long did it take?

The first time, about 10 months.

how long have you kept it off?

I've kept the 20 off for about 10 months.

what approach did you use?

cut portions, counted calories, LOADS of exercise, lots of water.

Slowly but surely some weight is coming off. I feel healthy. I am waiting until I'm hungry to eat and I try to avoid eating between meals. I've been exercising will power by not eating when my friends do. I have a free period and I normally eat my lunch then. When it's my real lunch time, I just talk to my friends while they eat. They probably think I'm anorexic, but I'm happy with myself for having that kind of will power. My friend offered me a hoagie today. I love the school's hoagies, but I said no because I wasn't really hungry and I knew that it would just jack up my calories for the day. I have actuallly been feeling kind of sickish off and on since Saturday. Also, with the stress of school winding down and finals and such, I've not been so hungry AND a couple of huge mothers of zits have made special guest appearances on my face AND I have about 6 mouth sores that are killing me. That also keeps me from eating a lot of stuff. I know it will burn my mouth like no other and it's just not worth it. It's like God's giving me tough love Lol! I'm planning on going swimsuit shopping next week one day. Right now I'm exhausted. I need to catch up on some sleep. I'll keep you posted!

1. People who can eat whatever in the heck they want and not gain a single ounce.

2. When the only genes I inherited were the thyroid disorders and the short stature.

3. When chocolate gives you cramps.

4. When I eat exactly what I'm supposed to and exercise and still don't see a difference.

I'm with you, Mango, about the people telling me I'm fine when I don't think so.

I got one! I asked the red-head and he said yes! Thanks for everyone's support!

Well, when I said 2 pounds, I meant the last time I weighed myself (a month ago or so). The last time I weighed myself, the shorts didn't fit, but yesterday i tried them on and they fit! That must mean I've lost more weight! Last summer I was at an all time low (well, since I was about 13) of 146. When I went to choir competition (2 meals a day of fast food for 4 days) and went on a family vacation (a week of doing nothing but eating seafood and sitting on the beach) I gained about 7 pounds. Several more pounds started to sneak on when I lost track of my diet and stopped exercising as much once school was in. At Christmas time, I weighed myself at the gym and it said 155. December, being a busy time for our family, meant lots of food. My cousin had a birthday, my uncle had a birthday, Christmas eve at my granny's house, Christmas day at my grandma's house, a couple of leftover days, and New Years Eve left me about 5 pounds to remember it by. I started cutting calories, walking, and doing exercise DvD's and the last time I weighed myself a few weeks ago, I had only lost 2 pounds. Now, I fit into my shorts and my bathing suits don't look so gross on me! YaY!!!!! 

I live in Nashville, so Shania Twain, Carrie Underwood, Bo Bice, Cheryl Crowe, Reese Witherspoon, Jo Dee Messina, Billy Ray and Miley Cyrus, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, Faith Hill and Tim McGraw, Wynonna, Ashley Judd and Dario Franchitti, Darrell Waltrip, Josh Turner, Taylor Swift, and the list goes on..... and on........
