1- When people let their weight slam down. 2-When people put the weights in the wrong place or don't put them away at all. 3-Guys that grunt very loud sounding like they are either having sex or developing a hernia while lifting so much weight they can only do maybe 3 reps (this is also the group that normally lets there weights fall very loud). 4-I agree on the lady's walking around naked or doing their hair while naked. Most are not good looking and most have a bush that is about 7 inches long. USE A TRIMMER PLEASE! I shower at a gym and keep a towel on tell I have at least my underwear and bra on. I do find girls attractive (I'm married so I only look) and I still have yet to see any girl walking around naked that I thought wow thanks for letting me look. As far as thinking wow that has burned an image into my mind that I did not want...yea had that a few times. I have to admit I am one of those that is on the phone sometimes. My feeling is that I am not able to have the person with me so I talk to them on the phone just like I would if they were there. I try to make sure I don't talk louder than normal and I figure if it helps me work out for 40 minutes rather than 20-30 as I don't get bored sorry to bother you but it helps me.

| Fitness | Protein shakes everyday?? | Apr 14 2008 02:44 (UTC) |

I personally try to drink one every day as I don't normally get enough meat during the day to get the amount of protein I am trying for. I like vanilla whey protein with just 8 oz of light and fit orange juice (only adds 50 calories) and I think it taste like an orange cream drink yummy!! I just mix the powder and juice in a shaker and go on my way. I find if I try to make smoothies in the blender with it I just don't get around to making them as I don't have the time. |

I have the same problem minus the c-section. I am actually planning on getting a tummy tuck in September. I work out very hard and I have a body fat now in the fit range and I just can not really do anything about the extra skin and it is absolutely nasty looking to me especially if I am bent over. I would love to say I know away to get rid of it with no surgery but no such luck. I feel like I was over weight for so long and I have worked so hard at some point in my life I deserve to look down and see a flat stomach and feel sexy. I know if leaves a big scar but that to me is not as unattractive as a sagging tummy. My husband wants me to just do what ever makes me happy so he finally agreed and I had him look at pictures to make sure his opinion about what was worse was the same as mine. I hope you find what work best for you but for me the only option at this point is to get a tummy tuck so a surgeon can give me what my body can not no matter how hard I work. ? Best of luck to you |

| Health & Support | Why Do i feel so sleepy? | Apr 03 2008 22:24 (UTC) |

I have some days that I get really sleepy but if it continues I agree with gi-jane about going to the doctor. I had that problem and it continued for some time and I found out I had mono. I was not kissing anyone to get it the only one I kiss is my husband of almost 5 years. The doctor said you can get mono when you are younger and not realize if the systems are not bad enough and then it can come back. I thought maybe anemia but never guessed it could be mono when I went in so you just never know. |

curtin I do eat several small meals a day. I eat about 30% protein and that ends up being about 100g or more a day. I am trying to eat less and yes I do have times that my tummy growls for food. I tried to cut down my calories by 200 a day but that was to much of a cut so I am trying for a 100 less than I was eating for a month and then I will try another 100 less. tcsmythe - My ideal body weight for my height with the small frame I have is actually as low as 125. My stomach hangs over my pants and my lower stomach looks horrible. From the top up I think I look really skinny but if you look at the new picture I added of my tummy that wont go away you will see I still have weight to lose. I'm actually happy with life but my struggle to look good makes me sad often. I feel like I try so hard I just want to have a sexy flat stomach at some point. I have not seen a flat tummy since I was 8 or 9. skinnybyjune9th My clothing does not seem to get any more lose. I actually went up in weight to about 150 after being 130 and now I am hear at 142. I have a pair of pants I wore at 130 that had been getting lose and they are not lose at all. I think some of it is muscle mass as I looked a my journal and I am at the most weight I have done in almost every area.
I went to a a cosmetic surgeon the other day and got a price quote for a tummy tuck. My husband said that I could get it later this year after we paid off some bills. I am so excited that I will finally just need to maintain my weight instead of have an endless struggle to lose weight. My skin just lost it's ability to bounce back after getting to 200 pounds and if I want a flat stomach this is my way to get it. I am so excited about the the idea of finally having a FLAT stomach after working out almost 4 years and never seeing such a thing in all that time!!!
Thanks everyone for you input. |

Thanks for the input. I am using the Harris Benedict Equation and it said 1483 was my BMR and then to x1.2=1780 I figured then I just need to burn 3500 calories a week to lose a pound. I normally burn about that much every week anyway. (If you are sedentary (little or no exercise) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.2). I have just changed my calorie goal from 1800-1900 to 1700 to see what that does. I am also going to try to eat 10g of sugar or less after dinner and not eating after 930 as well. I am also not going to have gum as I find I can go through about a pack a day as the flavor is not long lasting. I am going to also continue the no candy rule. I hope that this will help me get down to what I want to be. Thanks again for the words of motivation and advise. |

We go there every year for birthdays. I get the spaghetti with rich meat sauce and ask for apple sauce instead of a salad or soup. I normally have at least one piece of bread but try not to have more. |

| Young Calorie Counters | My friends are threatening to tell my aprents I have an eating disorder....... | Feb 24 2008 03:25 (UTC) |

| She wants to be 97 pounds at 5'3 and is 14 as per her bio. I would say yes you probably have an eating disorder and need to get help. I can not say for positive as stated above but since you said you only eat an apple so you will have a FEW hundred calories at night I have a feeling you are not eating very much in one day. How did you come up with a goal of less than 100 pounds? I think you need to talk to a dietitian and start trying to eat more. If you were 4'10 with a small frame the general guide line still says you should be 102. I think if you want great abs like the pictures you posted you need to work out and eat a well balanced diet with enough calories to meet you needs. | |||

| I love this new thing I tried called fruitabu. I have only been able to find it at wal-mart but it is a great treat! My husband does not normally like healthy stuff but he had almost my entire box of the smooshed fruit and the fruit roll that taste just like a fruit roll up. I also enjoy apples dipped in vanilla low fat yogurt. Hope you find something you like. www.fruitabu.com/ | |||
| Weight Loss | Are any of you going to reward your self when you reach your goal weight. And in what way? | Feb 04 2008 19:28 (UTC) |

| I am saving now to do a lot of shopping and I am going to do the same as you are and get rid of the clothing that is to big. I am also saving for a mini tummy tuck. Some people may be against it but if I get to my ideal weight and stay there 6 months I think I deserve it. I just have extra skin that is not going to just go away. I am less than 10 pounds away from what I think my idea weight will be so I have a lot of saving to do. | |||

Wednesday I did everything but I except I only worked out 45 min and I was a little over 1800 calories but I had a 150 calorie vita water so I actually ate about 1800. Well I figure me goals were the same for Thursday except that putting clothing away so I did accomplish them. I also had over 1800 calories today but I burned about 900 in my 2 classes that I took so I figure it's not bad to be over on calories. Goals for Friday Eat 1800 calories or less Put everything on my log Drink at least 3 bottles of water Study one hour Put away all the clothing Work out for at least 1 hour!! Don't eat more than 300 calories in treats |

So for my first day back I did okay.I went to the gym for the 6th time, put everything on my log, had only 1700 calories, and did not have over 300 calories in snacks!I did not get in my one hour of studying though. I am proud of my self on the snacks because I decided to include scones from great harvest and things like that so when my husband got a cinnamon crunch bagel from the store I had already had a treat so I did not eat one even though I had the calories. Goals for Monday Eat no more than 300 calories in snacks Put everything on my log Try to eat 1700 calories 1800 is okay Go to S.E.T class Study 1 hour Do one load of laundry Drink at least 3 bottles of water. I hope that I get better soon I have been sick for a full week now and I got my husband sick. I am not able to get in a good full work out and feel like I am working so hard when my heart rate tells me I am not. I thank the nighttime medicine for me actually sleeping through the night!! I just really miss my good full workouts and hope to see them soon :) |

| Oh you picked my favorite subject. My most favorite at the moment I guess ends up being over a 100 calories because you eat and apple with it. Light house 100 calorie pack caramel dip and it has 7 grams of fiber. I found 80 calorie mini ice cream candy bars they had snickers, twix, mikyway, and 3 musketeers. 100 calorie mini hostess carrot cup cakes. There are a lot more of course but those are my favorites. | |||

Well I did good on all of my goals except I did not get to the gym. My husband and I share a car so it just did not work out.

Goals for Tuesday Do 30 min elliptical Do lower body workout Do HIIT Put everything on calorie log!! Don't eat ANY candy Try not to go over on calories |

What you eat can have a direct effect on your skin if you're struggling with psoriasis. See what to shop for.
