I lost 3 lbs.
Took me 3 weeks running the treadmill like a maniac for an hour every other day and pumping iron for another hour. I am insane and obsessed about this. Hmmmm, I am insane and obsessed about several things lately. How in hell does anyone live with me?

12. Hey, we keep it in one thread at a time, so they can just ignore the
thread, not us. We're far too lovable to be completely ignored. As for being banned, nah. Warned maybe, but not banned. :7


Too cute

14. Nah, I've done worse in the lounge.
You should've have seen my late night thread about the movie "Bound." Idgiehkt was in that thread. She knows what I'm talking about.

Need to get to 125.

23. You're probably just adding muscle almost as fast as you're burning fat
Try measuring yourself with a measuring tape instead of or in addition to paying attention to your weight.

24. I went down 2 pants sizes, so I know I'm tightening up.
Soon, my boobs will be perky again, no?

26. Ligaments hold your boobs up
Once they're stretched, they're stretched, but if you lose a little fat and build up the muscles underneath them that'd help some, as would improving your posture if that's problematic. But really the best thing shy of surgery you can do for the girls is a professional bra fitting, which any decent mid to high end department store should offer, though you may need to make an appointment.

30. Cool
I figure that's one thing I shouldn't have to worry about much, on account of the fact that I barely have any. A slightly younger friend has really saggy boobs already, but she's a G cup. :wow: She'll probably get a reduction after she has kids, she can get insurance to pay for it because of back issues.

31. I can't imagine how painful it must be to carry that extra weight.
Cripes, when I roll over on one of mine at night, it hurts like hell.

32. what worked for me this summer -- putting a photo of Bush on the fridge
It guaranteed that I didn't spend a lot of time in the kitchen, being tempted by food. And looking at him made me feel so queasy that I lost my appetite for snacks. Seriously! It actually worked -- I lost 3 or 4 pounds that way (and can now wear the pants that I had to put aside a couple of years ago).

34. Congrats, Greywarrior!
Now, if I could only jump start my dormant
metabolism and keep it going, I'd get somewhere!

It quit on me ten years ago!

35. My dear Kajsa!
To jumpstart your metabolism, all you need to do is exercise, baby!

Any regular exercise will do it, too......

And once you get your metabolism revved up.......the pounds just roll off!

38. Hi Peggy
I must be doing something wrong,
because the exercises I try don't seem to help.

I need to swim more.
That would help, wouldn't it?

42. It took me 8 months of exercising regularly---
walking briskly 2 to 4 miles (3 times per wk) and some biking on other days to jump start my metabolism.

During that time the weight loss was *very* slow but has sped up recently (I'm 41).

It's an uphill battle it seems.

cut my head off long ago.
