Here's me - actually at that wedding scentimint. 🙂 (That's my older daughter in the pic too - she was 9 months). Not a great pic of me but I wanted one with the wedding outfit. 😉

Just don't quote the pic if you reply to this because I want to be able to take the picture down in a bit.

Edit - pic gone. PM me if you want to see it. 😉

awww, so cute. i love that face your daughter is making...that's the "i SO don't want to be here" face. 😀

She still makes that face out in public too! She so serious and suspicious in new places - always has been (even at 9 months in that picture, hehe). My little daughter is the complete opposite. She's a little ham with strangers.

I'm expecting company any minute so I'll be gone in a little bit. Otherwise I'm sure I'd just spend all evening on here.

And I will take my pic down when I get back .....

I have about 20 pounds to lose to be back to a "healthy" weight but if I can get back in the gym I think that'll come off quickly.

Man, I have gained 60 pounds in the last two years. 🙁 It is SO bad.

I used to be really into lifting and lifted for an hour almost every day and then I had surgery, got out of the habit, and never got back into it.

Ana - were you the one who can bench your entire body weight? That is so impressive.

He he - you and I are in the same boat and about the same height/weight. People usually guess about 150 for me though. When I tell them I really weigh 195 they don't believe me. Being fit and muscular when I was younger and having a large bosom helps with the mirage 😉

Me too. When I met my husband 3 years ago I was a slim, pretty thing. Now I'm chubby. I used to wear an 8, now I'm pushing a 12 and probably should wear a 14.

Ugh.

Anyone have a good exercise plan for a woman to include machines and cardio to drop about 40 pounds (if I fall below 150 I look anorexic so I would ideally like to be at 160)? Monotony is ok - I just need something to tone/drop fat and can devote 5 days to the gym. HELP!?!?!?!

I'm a guy, so I don't know how this would work out exactly for a woman, but here's what I did to lose 30 lbs in a month:

Definitely eat breakfast. I would eat a bowl of cereal and some fruit. For lunch, I had the typical sandwich plus some sides of veggies. For dinner, a salad. But after dinner I would do some intense cardio - like swimming, cycling, or running for about 45 min. I also lifted weights (full body workouts) for 3 days a week, to make sure I was burning off fat instead of muscle.

I ate about 2000 calories a day, but with that exercise regimen the pounds just shedded off. I went from 200 lbs to 170 lbs like that. It took another whole month to go from 170 to 160, then 10 months to go from 160 to 150.

I love race horse names. 🙂 I show dogs and they have some funny names too.

One of my dogs is "Moebius Strip" - we call him Moby. If you know what a moebius strip is, you get major nerd points from me! 😀

A moebius strip results when a half twist is put into a loop. When the loop is cut lengthwise, it forms 2 interconnected loops. Am I right?

Must stop eating conversation heart candies .... I'm going to make myself sick! I bought a big bag to stuff into favors for a baby shower I'm throwing next weekend and I've almost eaten the whole thing myself over a few days.

I'm going to have to buy another bag for the party ....

My friend that volunteers at the clinic with me told me that when she was about your daughter's age, she would get her slightly older brother to climb onto the table and get to the cookie jar. She'd find ways to con him into doing what she wanted. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

It's one of my dream cars.....wayyyy out of reach, even with a physician's salary.

My real dream car is the BMW M3 🙂
