There are a couple different times that I feel beautiful...one is right after I get done with a workout...my face is red, I'm sweaty my hair is crazy and I feel beautiful because I know that 2 years before I could have never dreamed of doing what I am doing now.

Then when I am wearing something that fits me well...I kinda feel like when I am dressed nice and I have my hair done nice and my makeup done that I can really shine..I never hide behind my clothes but it just makes me feel even more beautiful.

Lastly when I am with my boyfriend. He just has a way of making me feel like the most beautiful woman in the world. Last weekend we were sitting in his room and he looked me in the eyes and told me that I am much prettier than I think I am. He has also told me that every part of my body that I hate he loves enough for the both of us...that he doesn't see fat...he see's curves and his beautiful girlfriend....yes I do have the most amazing boyfriend in the world. :)

my boyfriend...heehee!

Tall, dark hair, green eyes, sexy smile, Very strong legs, nice strong back and arms...knows how to treat a woman right, has his priorities straight...isn't afraid to show his love...knows how to love a woman ;D 

Yay Iowans! I was starting to feel like a lone Hawkeye! I'm from Dysart...

i'm a 32 DD. 108 pounds 5'4.......they used to be bigger when i was around 130 pounds I was a 36DD....I never worked out and ate like crap and I thought that it was okay b/c i thought my boobs compensated.

I think a lot of woman with big boobs (who are heavy) use it as an excuse to not take care of their bodies.....like "well if i lose weight i lose my chest" ....it's such bs.  I hate it when woman are heavy and wear low cut shirts. no one wants to see it. do up your buttons!

 *throws bs flag*

Um I think not! I currently have 38DD.... I am 5'7 and 165 lbs...I am curvy...and I love it...when I was heavier I never ever used my breasts as an excuse....it's total bs that you said that they use that as an excuse...I have never met a woman that said I don't want to be healthy becuse then I won't have as big of boobs...as for the women who wear low cut shirts....don't like it don't look...it's confidence maybe they are comfortable with their chests...maybe it's the one part of their body they are proud of...you have no idea...why do you think that they should dress just to please you?....however I do not like it when a woman who is pretty heavy wears a  too tight top and it is very low cut...but then again I don't like it when anyone wears something really really tight and low cut.

I lost 50 lbs and barely lost anything in the breasts - went from 40/42 C/D to 38DD and am now thinking it might be more like 36DDD. Sigh. (As you all doubtlessly know already, when you go down one band size, you have to go up one cup size if the breasts themselves have not changed size - so a 32DD actually has breasts that are three "cup sizes" smaller than a 38DD, and are instead comparable to a 36C). My breasts are a mixed blessing: they are attractive (I think so anyway) but can detract from my professional image so I have to be careful. And of course it's impossible to wear button-down anything.

And don't hate on big girls who wear low cut tops, please - we all have to use what we got. And as some of you might know, when you're big chested it really becomes "matron or wench" when it comes to tops, and if you don't want to look like your aunt Matilda, there aren't a lot of other options.

 I hope you don't think I was hating on girls who were low cut tops cause I totally wasn't....I've been there done that...I still wear low cut tops cause like you said...I don't want to look like my aunt matilida!

just have to say I am all for Same-Sex marriages! And I am soooooooo proud to be an Iowan! So happy that they ruled that banning Same Sex Marriages is unconstitutional! My cousin is gay and before this supreme court ruling in Iowa, she and her girlfriend were going to have to go to Canada to get married...now they can do it here! Yay! The way I see it...if I want to marry a woman..I should be able to....you cannot make love unconstitutional or illegal!

I love them too! What do you put on yours? I like putting bbq sauce and a slice of cheddar cheese on mine!

Oh yeah...lol...the other day he told me to go buy a dress and that we will have our own valentines day when he is home :-)

Things just keep getting better and better!

thanks for all the ideas...and no I will not be greeting my boyfriend at the airport in my hooters t-shirt! Lol

I know that he loves me for me and all that, I just want to look really really extra good for him when he comes home! I know that he thinks I am beautiful and everything lol...he tells me everynight on the phone, he tells me how proud he is of me losing weight. One day I was talking about not liking my stomach and he told me to stop talking and that he wanted me to know that he loves every square inch of my body. He is pretty much the most amazing boyfriend ever and treats me so much better than any man has ever treated me.

He isn't coming home from a deployment he is just done...his 4 years in the Marines are up. He has been to Iraq twice for a total of 14 months tho. I'm so excited for him to come home and be home for good! It's been hard having him in California and me in Iowa...but we've made it work. :-) I'm just glad that we really get to be together now!

wouldn't work at first...said that 20 yrs old I was too young....but at 21...it said I should weigh 137.9 lbs....Thats 13 lbsless than my goal weight...I think I would look way too skinny at anything under 145 and that would be pushing it! My goal weight is 150! I gotta keep my curves!

Sorry if this seems harsh but.. WHAT? Okay....It's valentines day...and you said it yourself, it is out of the ordinary for your bf to plan something like this....go with it. Don't worry about the calories...it is one night....Let your bf sweep you off your feet...have fun....enjoy it. One night will not ruin things... if you're really worried about it....eat really really good the day before and the day after, workout extra hard the day before and the day after and eat a little less earlier in the day on Valentines day.

I know that this scares you and you are afraid that doing this will derail all your previous and future efforts, but honestly you need to learn to live with stuff like this...life is no fun if you are constantly afraid that the restuarant you are going to doesn't have exactly what you feel is healthiest for your weight loss efforts.

It kind of makes me sad to see some people thinking more about their calorie consumption on valentines day than about celebrating their relationship with their significant other. At least you get to celebrate it with your significant other...lots of people are seperated by miles and miles. It's my first valentines day in several years with a significant other, and he is in california on a marine corps base and I am here in Iowa....I would do almost anything to be able to celebrate it with him.

I L-O-V-E the gym I go to! I live in a town of 1200, so I am lucky to have a gym at all...it is cheap... $16 a month for me since I am a student. It's smaller than a 24/7 fittness or whatever but I love it...I know the owner, happen to be good friends with him and his family, I know the trainers, it is a 24/7 facility, has state of the art equipment....good cardio equipment, nice weight machines, good free weight area, but my favorite part is the HUGE kettlebell room in the back! I LOVE IT! I love going there at night, doing my kettlebell workout then getting on the elliptical to finish up my workout. I go there and do my thing and if anyone else is there they do their thing, we say hi and go about our business...

It does annoy me when the newbies at the gym come up to tell me that I am doing my workout wrong because their best friends vets dentists cousins checkout guy told someone who told someone that to get the best out of a workout they need to do xyz rather than abc and that I should think about it. Like last night....This chick was there, I've seen her around town, never really had a problem with her before last night, but she decided that she knew more than I did and decided to inform me , by tapping me on the shoulder while I was on the elliptical, doing one of my intraval sprints, that I should have done a warmup first, and second that going faster doesn't burn more calories and that she doesn't see the point in getting sweaty if she doesn't have to. I nicely thanked her for her concern and told her that I did do a warm up, she must have been in the bathroom showering when I was doing it, and that I was doing intreval sprints, and that I have lost 50 lbs in the past year and that I am healthier and stronger than I have ever been so I must be doing *something* right.

 I really can't stand when people come up and give me their "expert" advice on what is best for me when honestly they don't know what they are really doing. I would have no problem with someone coming up to me  who has been at the gym for quite some time and saying something like "Hi, I noticed that you like doing xyz on the elliptical, I've been doing something like it but it's more abc and I think it is really effective, maybe you would like to try it to change things up sometime". What really bothered me was that it was that chicks first day there, and none of the trainers were there that day, so I KNOW that she did not have her orientation with one of the trainers that is REQUIRED, so that the new members know how to use the equipment and get a personalized workout from the trainer...Oh and this orientation, completly free...and the personalized workout? Free once again. What I was doing happened to be a workout designed by the OWNER of the gym who has his masters in exercise science, he was a college football coach for 14 years, and he is now the high school football coach...oh and since he has been the coach we have had the best 2 seasons in 15 years...The guy knows what he is doing...

*rant over*

I actually just broke up with a guy becuase of this. We had only been going out for a couple of weeks but it still sucks. He couldn't understand why I went to the gym so much (5-6 days a week). I told him I liked the way I felt after a workout, how it makes me feel sexy knowing what my body can do and he said that he understood. But when he would text me at night and ask me what I was doing and I told him I was at the gym, or had just gotten back from the gym or was getting ready for the gym he would go into this thing about how I work out too much and that I am crazy and that I have a problem. Then I would see him and he would tell me how much he loved my body and how hot I am and everything so I finally got fed up with it and asked him how he thought I got the body that I have. He said....working out probably...I told him exactly...I work out, and eat right....I don't sit on the couch and paint my nails all day....I have an active job, I work out, I make my workouts count ( I spend an hour and a half at the gym, tops...most times it is more like 45 minutes), I eat right, and I have fun....I don't let exercise interfere with my life, if I want to go out with friends, guess what, I am going to go out with my friends and I am going to have fun, I don't feel bad if I miss a workout. Even after explaining this to him he still told me that I was crazy for working out so much. I got tired of it and asked him why it bothered him so much and he said that he didn't know why it bothered him just that he thought there were more important things I could be doing. I asked him if I had ever told him that I couldn't go out with him because I had to work out, or that I couldn't talk to him, or anything like that and he said no...so then I asked him why should it bother him what I am doing in my free time...it doesn't bother me that he goes out and parties a lot...so i got fed up with going back and forth about it and told him that if he couldn't be supportive of me then I was going to find someone who was. I deserve someone who will support me and not try to knock me down....I mean I am doing something good for myself and he couldn't support me, or atleast keep his thoughts to himself.
