Yay! My mom is being released from the hospital today! Tomorrow we get to settle into our new place! Life is getting easier. My new apartment has a mini gym, and is close to the beach, so I think it should be easier to get some exercise.

Sorry I disappeared. Finally found a new place to live, and my mom's surgery was successfull, so now I'm back. I ate emotionally today over worry about her, but she's ok, and the doctor even thinks they got the whole tumor! So I'm going to be good tomorrow.

Hi everyone. So I finally found us a place to live! Thank god. The last week has been so crazy. Hard to work out or eat good in an unfamiliar town. To make the stress worse, just found out my mom is going into major surgery on the 19'th. And my sister tried to overdose on pills! AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!! So now I have a bad cold from all the stress. On the up side, it'll be easier to keep my calories down - not too hungry. If I can just hold on 'till March, it'll all get better.

Sorry to dissappear, but we had to go house hunting all weekend. I didn't win the chalange, but it did help me be unusually good. : ) I'm excited about this new chalange.

Yep. It used to really hurt my husband's feelings. Now he understands that it's not about hin - just part of my ED. Plus, I try to share with him more now.

You can totally microwave veggies. Ziplock now makes special bags just for that purpose. Another of my favorites is McCormick Steamers found either with the spices or sauce mixes. It's a steaming bag and seasoning mix set for the microwave.

Have fruit and raw veggies pre-cut in tupperware or baggies sitting in the fridge. Easyier to just grab and go.

So we get to move for my husband's job. Found out yesterday, that we have to be out of this place by the 29'th! Nice of them to give us so much notice. Still not sure where we are going, hope they tell us soon. I strained my back packing, so that means no workout today. We'll see if I can tomorrow. Do you guys think I should cut back on calories if I can't workout for a few days? I really don't want to gain it back.

Have celery as a guilt - free snack.

Remember you'll actually feel worse if you splurge. You'll have spent both calories and money you don't have. You're right about how things just seem to work out. Just keep looking for solutions, and one will present itself. Some things I've done before, are pick up some overtime, or ask a credit card if I can make a partial payment this one month. All else fails, Top Ramen, rice, and beans are all really cheap.

Two words for you. Astroglide Gel! It isn't runny like some other types, and washes off easily. P.S. Remember to pee after sex. It's a good way to reduce the chances of a bladder infection.

My hubby has to eat as much as he can to mantain his weight! So frustrating! He's muscular and thin and gets checked out all the time. I'm half an inch taller, and at my heaviest was 66 pounds heavier. Ick! He treats me like a princess, but I do feel like I'm going to accidently squish him.

dragoncomet00 - I'm giving you a big e-hug! Your ankle or hubby's? A short term goal is a good idea - feels more achievable, mezzo - Thanks!I'm hoping for somewhere around 40 pounds. Kinda depends on how I loot at that weight with muscles (last time I was that thin, I didn't work out at all) Hubby took me out to dinner last night, and I probably should have gotten a salad, but I got a steak, fries, and a drink. It wasn't emotional eating, so that's good, but I feel guilty. I know I really shouldn't be having fries and so many calories, but on the other hand, it's really nice to be spoiled by my husband and taken to a nice restaraunt. So, I'm beating myself up, and reveling in the spoiled feeling of having had a fun date night. Aargh. I'll work out a few extra min today.
The Lounge	I need advice!	Feb 04 2008 22:23 (UTC)	1
This is the razor both my husband and father-in-law love. A bit expensive, but they both have thick hair so they needed a high quality one. Plus it's self cleaning! A bonus because you don't have to clean it, and it doesn't wear out as fast. http://www.amazon.com/Braun-7526-Syncro-Shave r-Storage/dp/B000050FDQ

I'd go but I probably have to move. But, I went all last summer and fall - LOVE it. Big, and such a beautiful selection of healthy yummy food. Highly reccomended. Just emember to bring lots of cash - kinda expensive, and the line for the ATM is always really long.

Hi everybody! Guess what? I've lost a total of 6 pounds!!! Yay me! Finally all my work is paying off. Mezzo - It's ok. 400 calories once isn't that bad. You stopped at that - good job. P.S. I know your advice was to others, but I wanted to tell you it helped me too. : ) Calbert - Awesome job!!! Both the Gym and calorie controll. Dragoncomet00 - Good luck. Congrats on starting the gym! I personally try to go to the gym 5 days a week - but even twice makes a big difference if you havn't been doing it. Just be sure if you lift weights to alternate - do half of your body one day the other half the next. For some reason it's better for muscle building, and you won't get as sore.

I'm finally seeing results on the scale!!! I'm down to 185!!! Six pounds. I had been feeling really hopeless - 2 weeks with no loss - then three pounds almost overnight! I suppose having finished TTOM may have had something to do with that. So, everyone who's got their TTOM take heart - the scale will be nicer in a few days.
Health & Support	Spotting on the Pill.. Responses please.. I am freaking out. (girls only please!)	Feb 01 2008 03:50 (UTC)	3
I've been on the pill for 8 years. I almost never spot, but I just did this last month - and started 4 days early! I started working out and eating better in Jan. I seem to remember that last time I started a diet and exercise program at the same time I was messed up too. So, while I am going to take a test in a few days just to be sure, I think my body was just annoyed at having so many changes at once.
Weight Loss	Beautiful face or beautiful body ... the difficult question??	Jan 30 2008 07:46 (UTC)	16
Hi. The lowest adult weight I've ever reached was 145 lbs at 5'6". I looked really ill. The BMI charts recommend that I aim for 130!!! For me, that's too skinny. If you look sick or strange at the lowest weight maybe that's too low for you. I am aiming for a muscular 150 - 160 which is classified as overweight but looks healthier and feels healthier on me. Maybe some middle ground where you lose a bit and firm up a bit would work for you too.
