	Dear Bottom, you win. Dear Bottom, you win. I took two weeks off from the gym and I gained three pounds. Bottom, we're going back to the gym. We're not going to mope, we're done feeling sorry for ourself. We're going to the gym. I know it hurt today, but it's going to feel so good when we go back to the states and buy all new clothes. Yes bottom, it's time. Sincerely, The loafer. Created 2 months ago by nikkirammer
	Dear hot motivating MIA gymbuddy Hello! I've missed you. I know you are so busy working out that that muscle-bound guy at the gym is likely taking you out for smoothies. And he should, because you are one hot chick! Now that you're working out for you instead of someone else, I hope you haven't lost your motivation. No, that wouldn't happen. You're just too busy working out to update gyminee. Right??? (And for the record I hope you break your ex's nose.) Sincerely, your hopeful gymbuddy Created 2 months ago by lizanneh
	It's a new month... Hello September! I lost 14lbs last month. Can you beat that September? I don't know, August was pretty good to me. We're going to work out, eat right, take our vitamins and keep our eye on the prize. September, we can beat 14 pounds. Let's see if we can meet October in the 150's. Good Luck September, I hope this is a better month. Created 2 months ago by nikkirammer
	Dear ExBoyfriend, boy did you screw up. Dear ExBoyfriend, This quest to lose weight was for you. I wanted to be amazing for you when I got back from six months in IRAQ. Well, you decided that you were going to move on with someone new...and I found out the hard way. I almost blew off the gym. I almost said "screw it" and ate an entire pie. Then I decided, no, screw you. I'm going to the gym for me. I'm going to start working with weights so that I can go home in 4 months and beat the crap out of you. That's my current goal. I'm going to be so hot when I come home and you're going to want me back and I'm going to punch you in the face and then I'm going to walk away...me and my fine self. Thanks jerk, that's the motivation I needed. Technically, I lost 234lbs this week. Thanks. Sincerely, Your Super Hot ExGirlfriend Created 2 months ago by nikkirammer
	Dear Scale, I think we need some time apart. Dear Scale, I know it seems like we should be good friends by now, you keep showing me lower numbers, I keep going to the gym. However, sometimes you don't budge and sometimes I'm .02 lbs heavier and it ruins my day. Scale. I think we need to take some time to think about our relationship. My clothes are falling off, I have to get all new uniforms, my underwear barely fits any more and all you keep spitting out are these ridiculously small milestones that I get much too excited about. So, I'm going to wait. I'm going to weigh myself two weeks after my last weigh in...then we'll see. But, I'm not going to let you control the way I feel about myself any longer. I think this is the best way for both of us. Sincerely, Pleasantly Plump Created 3 months ago by nikkirammer
	You make me laugh! If the girl you go to the gym with is 5'6" and 110 pounds, my guess is she's trying to GAIN weight as she gets fit and builds muscle. WAY TO GO getting to double digits! You know those big muscle heads are actually great people. I used to love them back when I actually went and lifted at the gym. They were always so happy to help me improve my form and offer a spot. So glad he was excited for you. And sheesh...deployment? I wouldn't last A SINGLE DAY. LOL! Keep up the great work!!! Created 3 months ago by lizanneh
	Dear Big Muscle Gym Guy, you're alright with me. Dear Big Muscle Gym Guy, You're pretty intimidating. Your arms are the size of my very unthin thighs. It's clear that you live at the gym. I always kinda thought you were showing off. However, when I got on the very public scale today and said a "yes!" for dropping a number in the tens column and you high-fived me...I knew I could do it. When you told me to keep pushing...I knew I could. When you offered to help me when I start weight training...I knew you meant it. So, thank you Big Muscle Gym Guy. I dedicate the 250 calories I lost today...to you. Yours Truly, Chubby Mc Chubberson Created 3 months ago by nikkirammer
	You are doing great! I'm amazed at how much weight you've lost over such a short period. Good for you! As for tips...I hate running. I hate it with a passion. But you know, it works. And it's cheap. Since you asked for tips, here's what I suggest. Get a decent digital watch ($25-$45 or so), and put on your shoes and go outside. Walk for two minutes and then run for 30 seconds. Repeat. Try to go 2 miles doing this if you can. If it's too easy, do 60 or 90 seconds running and two minutes walking. Try to do it every day, but be happy if you make it 3-4x per week. As you get better, decrease the walking time, and increase the running time. "Skip" the occasional walk break in the middle. Once you are running the whole thing (go you), start adding distance to your run. This is how I did it, and I know you can do. The bonus is that because your legs are used to carrying around your current weight, you will find they are super strong when you get to your target weight. Good luck and keep me posted on your progress! Created 3 months ago by lizanneh

	Dear Fat, you're lucky Sarah's a carnivore. Dear Fat, Usually, about this time, I would be working on your slow and painful demise. However, Sarah has gotten food poisoning from eating meat (I'll spare her the lecture) so, we took the day off from the gym. Guess what Fat...this isn't going to be like those other times where I just laxed off and stopped fighting the war on jiggle. I'll be in the gym tomorrow and you'll be slowly disappearing. See Fat, it's not that I ever really minded you, it's just that I would like to buy a pair of size 8 American Eagle jeans and you just (litteraly) don't fit in that plan. Enjoy your day off Fat, tomorrow...it's going to be worse than you've ever seen it. Yours Truly, Gym Goddess Created 3 months ago by nikkirammer
	Dear Tuna Fish, I have bad thoughts about you. Dear Tuna, I know I shouldn't think about you. I stopped eating meat two years ago. However, sometimes I 'm so hungry and my food options here are so limited that I think about you. I think about you with a little mayo and some relish in between two moist pieces of bread. I think about you in my tummy and all the goodness and the energy you provide. Then I think about your tuna family...and I can't do it. I want you to know Tuna, some days the only thing keeping you off my plate is the PETA website and the movie Finding Nemo. Oh Tuna, you are such a temptress.

	Dear Water, I hate you. Dear Water, Only because I have to, I consume you every day. I drink, on average, twelve liters of you every single day. One day, a few days ago, I stopped. I only drank 6 liters a day. You know what happened? The scale broke. I can't lose a pound. Times you and I used to spend together, I went off and had a rootbeer or some iced tea. I didn't even look back. I didn't miss having to pee every twenty minutes. You got the last laugh, didn't you? You knew I was consuming liquid calories that weren't doing anything good for me. So, now I've come back to you. I wish you tasted better. No amount of crystal lite or calorie free tea makes you anymore tempting. I don't want you anymore than I ever did. The thing is, water, you and I had a good thing going on and then I ran off with sugar. I'm sorry, please take me back. Yours Truly, Dry Mouth Created 3 months ago by nikkirammer
