I feel your pain. I'm 40 and have had 4 kids, and lost over 100 lbs. My skin did tighten up a good bit.

November 2nd- 168.8

November 9 - 167.2 = -1.6 #

My goal was to get to the gym 3 times last week. I accomplished that exactly zero times. It seems that something ALWAYS comes up and I have to do something else during the time I've set aside for my gym time. I was going today and wouldn't you know it I have to get my son to bball tryouts during my gym time. UGHH!!!!!

I will go tomorrow!!!!!! This is the promise I am making to myself. I'm paying for that gym membership I really need to get back there!!!!

Goal December 30 is 162.8     6  lbs!!!

Can I do this during the holiday's?????

Is it too late to join? I've been off track the last few months and gained 8 lbs back. I've not been on the boards for almost 6 months. This is defiantly the challenge for me.

I'm a Lynn too

weight 168.6

goal in 60 days 6 lbs.

Where I come from mountains are at least 7,000 feet high.  Anything lower is called a hill.  That puts the appalachian mountains in the hill catagory.  Yet the appalachians are considered one of the great mountain ranges in the world.  To me, hill, is not an insult.  It is a comparative statement of fact and I mean no insult by the word.

Next time your friend disparages your more modest mountains just look her in the eye with a smile and say "the highest summit doesnt always have the best view".

 

This is win right here.

 

 

By the way, C cup is no where near small or flat. In fact it's more on the larger side. I'm a DD cup and I wish I was a B, I bet your friend does too, but instead of just being mature, she's jealous and a bit bitter about those who do have it. Seems a bit petty, imo.
Large boobs can make the thinnest person look fat. :P

Large boobs can make the thinnest person look fat

I find this to be among one of the most offensive posts I've read. Sadly I've seen it before. I'm a DD and nowhere near looking fat. I suppose I should put this in the other thread.

I discovered this LAST year. THIS year I have two very very large gardens filled with my favorite veggies and herbs. Only I'm going to have too much squash. They sold me squash seeds for zucchini seeds. UGGHH two LONG rows of  crookneck squash.

PG Try planting your own veggies and canning and freezing them. Even if you don't have a lot of space you can grow them in pots etc.

It is her fault that she never developed or evolved beyond her upbringing, but her upbringing made it very difficult to overcome certain teachings.

Well, whose fault is it? I could tell you stories about the way I was raised and preach what I was taught, but will spare you my sob stories and just say one word "Cult". So I was brought up VERY screwed up with crazy ideals about what was and what was not right.

You know what, I grew up and became a woman with my own mind and my own ideals about what was right and what wasn't. I knew what kind of man I wanted to marry and the kind I didn't. I simply married the kind I wanted. I get so tired of hearing that women are not strong enough to overcome this or that. Give me a break! We have a mind the same as a man has a mind. We just need to use it and develop a backbone.

I'm not trying to degrade your mother or any that are in certain circumstances, but where is the line drawn.

BTW I'm a slob too.

America wouldn't have the childhood obesity problem if parents all over the US were feeding their children correctly. With that said I also have to point out that you have no idea what the kid actually had for breakfast. Maybe the mom fed her child a hot bowl of oatmeal or eggs and whole grain toast with juice freshly squeezed from an orange before leaving the house. How long was the commute? Maybe the kid gets fussy on the train and the dry cereal is a treat. I would pack dry cereal for a snack when my kids were little too. If you don't have kids then you really shouldn't judge until you've walked in a mothers shoes, believe me you'll find all types of tricks to keep a child occupied during long trips etc. The lollipop could be as well but there are safety issues with a sucker on a stick and all the pushing etc.

I've got 4 kids and none of them are overweight even the slightest. My kids have had all types of junk food in the house at any given time. I also have healthy snacks and fix well balanced meals. I don't forbid junk food, because then you could be at risk of them binging on it when they can get it. It's the "want what I can't have" that I want to avoid.

I do have a problem with a few of the parents in our community who have children who are very obese and the only thing I see these kids eat is junk. One little boy was at therapy for his weight problem and after therapy the mother would take him to the deli area and get him a huge milkshake and cookies etc. I could have choked the stupid itch.

too bad he didn't die years earlier so he could've left with a tiny shred of dignity.

but, alas - MJ and dignity are like oil and water.

I usually leave threads like this alone, but this is really rubbing me the wrong way. Here are some FACTS about MJ and his dignity.

Now the comments you have made about the child molestation are completely invalid. Where you personally involved in the case, Do you know for sure that he was not being exploited for money and the parents were doing him wrong. Your just assuming without all the facts that he is guilty, as said in an earlier thread he was acquitted. Do you know the legal system well enough to know that a prosecutor would not drop charges on the whim of a parent and would only due so if he/she could not make a strong case and knew a jury would not convict based on evidence. YOUR JUST RUNNING OFF AT THE MOUTH, but please if you have inside knowledge of the prosecutors case let us know. Then the prosecutor would be no better than the child molester and should be prosecuted in light of your superior knowledge of the situation.

Please give us all the facts you have and not just your know it all superior and grandiose behavior. After all you are the expert on who is and who is not a "real human being". s/c

Ladies you don't have to show your bra OR go without one. You can look amazing in one of those sundresses.

I'm a 36 D and CANNOT go without a bra. I love these little dresses too. I'm 40 so I kind of feel like they are too young for me, but I'm seeing more and more women wearing them, so I've been wearing  mine too.

Use this offer code, I got mine for cheap, cheap, cheap!!

Do you have health insurance? I too have knots in my shoulder and back. I have delt with it for almost 2 years and finally talked to my doctor about them.

It was a big mistake to let the issue go because now I've got burning/cold tingling sensations in the shoulder, actually the pain burning, tingling etc has been going on for almost a year.

My doctor up me on pain pills, muscle relaxers etc., but they did not take care of the pain, just masked it for a while. I stayed on him and he sent me to physical therapy. I've been taking therapy for a month but it has not helped much. The therapist says I have a rib out but has not been able to get it back in place. That is not my major issue but is attributing to it. I have now been referred to an orthopedic surgeon and have my first appointment today at 3.

So I'm saying don't let the pain go on too long, do something about it early and you may be able to get it under control before it gets worse and to the point of serious problems, and serious medical bills due to added tests.

Well I've always wondered why so many women get upset over porn. Personally I think it is insecurity on the womans part. I don't see harm in it, I think it can spice up sex life and I could care less if my hubby watches or spends money on it. The more you cut your man off ladies the more he will tend to wander. I say watch it with him and enjoy the fact that it's you he's with. Women (IMO) are WAYYYY to uptight about sex. Sex is one thing LOVE is another. Especially in the male world. I'm not trying to generalize men but the majority of men can easily separate the two.

Maybe if some of the uptight women would loosen up on the sex subject the men in their lives wouldn't wander so much, but if your not into sex and can't give your man what he needs your going to be at high risk for affairs and him having to sneek around to watch porn. He's going to sneak and do it when your unaware of it anyway.

I have so many female friends who complain about sex and only give it up on occasion. WHY????

Having sex and him watching porn are totally different. If taking away his porn causes him to wander then he's got issues. Just because a woman may not like their man putting their sexual energy towards another woman does not mean they are not screwing like rabbits any other time, FYI.

 

See that's where your misconception is. If he want's to do it then the percentage is on the high end that he's going to do it behind your back. If you want a child to restrict have a child. If you want to restrict your adult partner then your not partners equally and maybe need to get a dog to control.

And what type of sexual energy is he putting toward anther woman. I thought we were talking about the movies. I believe the sexual energy will be coming her way, unless she is not giving it up. Do you really know what screwing like rabbits means. If you do then they arn't going to have much time for the movies.

What is too much sex anyway? If your partner wants it 7/24/365 then thats the norm. Either satisfy them or suffer the repercussion.

hey??? where did my post go? I was first to post and it was long and it was there!

umm, that would be because there are two post from the op on this subject, keep scrolling down.

Well you know you can only take so much, like for instance at work I'm the client and the sales rep leaves me an email asking me what is going on with a project. Well, if you would call your co worker or communicate with her I would not have to REPEAT myself to you idiots over and over and over again, use some common sense already. If you have been out of the office for a few days DON'T email the client about a project that you totally screwed up BEFORE checking the status from your co workers. Mind you this is not the FIRST, SECOND OR THIRD time I have asked these clowns to communicate with each other and save me from repeating myself over and over again.

And so your the tball coach, why do you continue to email me over and over and over about stupid things. Like " One of the t ball parents called me and asked me if they should bring a glove and a bat to pictures." Well how in the #$LL should I know. Does she want her child photographed with a bat and a glove or not?? If so bring the stupid things, if not leave them at home. 

Come on please people use some freeking common sense. And not just one of them, the lady asked the coach's wife and she proceeds to email me the question. Like she couldn't have answered it for her.

I'm just a volunteer why do they have to punish me. Then she emails me about practice schedules, cripes I've given her a schedule AND the phone numbers to ALL the coaches in the entire league. CALL them if you want to throw in a practice, I'm not a coach and I don't call practice, Use your head already.

These are only two examples of stupidity I've been subjected to over the last 6 hours. It's like no one wants to think for themselves and they want me to think for them.

Anyway my vent is over, I believe we should take all points of views and be open to them, but when it comes to incredibly elementary things it drives me up the wall and yes I question intelligence.
