Bimini...I never know what I want, usually I am happiest with a down to Earth guy. I am quite happy on my own, so it does not bother me when people get called into work. Just a little off putting when it is the first date! My kitchen and dining room floors will be happy, as they are about to be scrubbed!

For that matter, there are so many opinions out there on lifting it's ridiculous 
And lots of know it all meatheads to go with them, lmao.
That said, you will feel great ... strong, fit, flexible. I have never felt better.
Many people claim it can cure back problems. I don't know about that cause I've never had any. But I can see how it could help.

Yeah any exercise I do I'm very careful. I think investing in a personal trainer for at least a few weeks would be a good idea for me because of my knees. It would suck the big one to make them worse lol. Learn the right form and what to do or avoid.

I really need to work out my tummy and butt!
Last year my mom told me "hey you should be grateful to Kim Kardashian, she made big butts popular!". No matter how I work out my butt is one size bigger than the rest of me. Right now I am a size 8 with a size 10 butt, at my fittest I was a size 4 with a size 8 butt - it is so annoying! No clothes ever fit!

My husband was slightly po'ed that I ate the last three bites of the carrot cake, lol.
Now I'm having birthday cake flavored ice-cream. These are all leftovers from the birthday party a few days ago.

Good job, brynn
And yes, that is a good daily sharpener. When the edges need to be redone, Smith's has a precision sharpening kit that is a bit tedious but will put a perfect edge on a knife.

Diet is very important. And it about simple math when you are trying to lose. You simply consume a LITTLE less than you burn. You need to learn about TDEE (total daily energy expenditure), and use a calculator to begin to figure yours out.
Now, when you start to lift weights you will see a small gain initially after your lifting, and that is water gain. It is how your muscles protect themselves, because essentially you are injuring them. Tearing them down, for them to rebuild. Please don't be alarmed, and learn to get past this
Only if you stick with a routine will you see consistent loss. And that loss will be over TIME
Sometimes you will see the "swoosh" losses, and sometimes you will plateau. Stick with it, keep going.I used a weigh scale once per MONTH
And I used a mirror (naked) to assess the real results ... cause that's the best way to gauge them.Ok, off the soapbox now

LOL Soberpotamus, yeah, I know, I used to help my mom teach aerobics. I had to come with the terms I just have a big butt - if my butt was a normal size the rest of me would be too skinny!
It just makes anything other than stretchy pants annoying as either they fit my butt but are too loose at the waist, or they would fit my waist if only I could get them past my butt!
