I think it depends on the people and how they deal with things! In relationships, there is no right or wrong, and it will never be the same from one relationship to the next.

As long as any issues are worked out and you are both happy, then there is no reason to be fighting!

Yea I've got tatu.....haven't heard of the veronicas!

I wouldn't go down to 1200! It's hard to find the right balance of how much of a deficit to have, but you don't want too big of a deficit.

750 is good, just remember once you get closer to maintenance weight, you'll have to have less and less of a deficit.

But congrats! 7lbs is great !

Great job!

You are right, mini goals are easier (and nicer to check off when you pass them!)

One of the cheapest is Body Fortress at WalMart. Taste is so-so as far as powders go. That's about 100 cals for 26gs of protein. I've tried EAS, Jillian Michaels, and Optimal Nutrition....they are all about the same!

haha i bought the turbofire greatest HIITS cuz I have all the turbojams...and it kicked my butt soooo bad! I guess I have to say I like the regular turbo jams better!

My fave is the fat burner one, thats only like 30 mins. Although, I've watched it so many times that I tend to say what she says even if I have the music up :)

I totally agree with the above! Sounds like you are right on track. I tend to do splits when lifting, too, but I like getting compound exercises in to the workout, too.

As always, I agree with melkor!

If you aren't feeding the muscles what they need, it'll be almost impossible to be 'super ripped' at 190. You def need to be feeding your body enough. You can up your calories (adding in other aspects of the meal plans) and still see great results....

But good luck!

Congrats on quitting! That must have been hard!

I haven't been able to quit yet. But I WAS able to lose 40lbs! that is a cake walk compared to quitting!

If it seems daunting, then start small. I started out just by walking in place in my living room while watching tv. Or doing situps or pushups. Then eventually I joined a gym, went 3xs a week. Now I go about 4-5 times a week, an hour at a time. It's not so much if you sort of sneak it in there! haha Or if doing it AFTER work is too hard, do something in the morning. Even if it just getting up 20 mins early and doing something quick in your living room. You can get dumbells or resistance bands for easy workouts!

Same with eating. I changed just little things at a time at first, like NOT getting extra mayo, then changing the mayo to light, then switching to mustard instead. Things like that!

What motivated you to quit smoking? Your health! Same goes for being a healthy weight!

Yea but the black/white thing at weddings does have purpose.

Black: is generally associated with funerals and somber events....and some people think of it as a 'protest' to it. (not me, just saying!)

White: the bride wears white and no one can overshadow the bride.

But, these days so many brides wear other colors than white and/or have bridesmaids wearing black dresses. I guess I personally don't/wouldn't wear black because I do associate it a bit with funerals, but I don't think there is anything wrong with it!

In any case, have a great time at the wedding!
