Sometimes the smallest thing helps me. Not slouching, dressing well/comfortably, making eye contact. I used to slouch down, curving my neck to stare at the ground (as if that would somehow keep people from noticing 6ft tall middle schooler lol). One day, I had enough! I stood up straight and pushed my shoulders back (I've…

My boyfriend and I are a long way off from getting preggers (I'm working on a PhD, he's completing dual master's degrees... and we need to get married), but we have already committed to being healthy and fit before taking the baby making plunge. Life gets so much more complicated with children and we decided healthy habits…

I lived in Beijing and traveled all around China for a little over a year. Squatting over sitters is the norm. :blush: Culture is cool!

Ohhh, that would be killer! No downward rests.... Whew, I'm out of breathe just thinking about it! But in fact, sometimes I feel the descent is too long and my heart rate falls too low before I can head back up again. Also, I'm so glad to hear that you are motivated to do it again! LOL STRETCH THOSE CALVES! Do not make my…

THIS! It's like they've never seen the like before lol. I just smile and trot on by. What do you do to keep challenging yourself? Do you do more floors or do you tackle the stairs in different ways, like skipping steps, going backwards, etc?
-
I'm with you there! Right now, I'm jogging up the stairs, landing on every step. If I'm going down, it's more of a trot, but I have my hands lightly resting on both handrails in case I trip. I think cross-overs will have to be done at a slower pace... I'm not the most coordinated person :blush:

Bump! :smile: I'm 6'0" 25/F and I am 180.6 as of today. A few people have told me already that I don't need to lose more weight, but they haven't seen me in a bikini :neutral: . I've yoyo'ed a lot. I've been a "skinnyfat" 140 and looked great, I've been a fit and muscular 160 and looked great, but right now I'm aiming for…

The easiest way is to make sure I keep moving. I will want to indulge a bit, so by using a cheap pedometer I can work on getting 10,000+ steps in a day by exploring the ship. When the ship is docked at a port I am not interested in, I take a long swim in the empty pools. Leaving the ship involves walking and swimming and…

Hi! I just got a fitbit charge hr: https://www.fitbit.com/user/3MQ6JJ

This should be a T-Shirt... :lol: I've been there too! Then I learned (really learned) something. I am not and will never be perfect, and I have not and never will stop craving unhealthy things! Soooo, I just had to figure a way to fit them in! This month alone I've had ice cream, brownies, pie, alcohol, cheeseburgers, bbq…

Hi~ Everyone has these days/weeks/months, so definitely never let it make you feel discouraged. I used to set "dates" for myself to lose a certain quantity of weight, but now I am focused on shorter term goals (NSV's). I like to have daily goals of reaching my FitBit's 10K steps and making sure to weigh all my homemade…

I make whole wheat lasagna (or stuffed shells) with cottage cheese instead of ricotta. spinach, chicken breast, sundried tomatoes, zucchini, mushrooms, etc.. As a snack, I eat them with Mandarin oranges, but my mom swears by cantaloupe with black pepper.

I'm going to get there! After work today, I'm going out to snag some more miles. :triumph:

I just got mine yesterday and also have only one friend. //www.fitbit.com/user/3MQ6JJ edit: Charge HR :wink:

Hi all! I'm going to complete 50 miles this month :blush:

I've got a 14 year old chihuahua ("Cuqu", the boss: 10 lbs) and a 3 year old rottweiler/black lab mix ("Maya", the whipped: 95 lbs). I love them dearly! They are the inconsolable without each other and will always be trotting around the house as a pair. When they play, Maya will stand in front of the couch with her head…

I used to run, rock climb, and kayak. Sometimes all within the span of one day! I was light and fit. All I felt was exhilaration, not exhaustion. That's what I can't wait to feel again... I can't wait to feel like all of this "strenuous" activity is a piece of cake again. :heart:

I struggled with anorexia as well and am 25. Please feel free to add me.

:love: Can you buy my clothes for me?

HAHAHA that seems to be a rock solid plan. I will endeavor to not be a petty criminal to avoid potential gator attacks.

Always, somewhere! I work for a university. :wink:

Oh yeah, there is nothing in town that compares to it. It's amazing.

Oh and like 5-6 raquetball courts on the first floor. I forgot

I pay $54 quarterly through my employer for access to their facility. First floor: Olympic pool & diving boards (L/H), two hot tubs, sauna, steam room, locker rooms, maybe 15 treadmills and around 50-60 weight machines, a couple rowing machines, a free weights section, a room I call the "bulk room" which is full of really…

Your gator fears are my gator fears! The water doesn't get so cold in North Florida, maybe 50 degrees or so for a few months in the winter. I'll check out the sit-on-tops as well. :smile: If I end up travelling anywhere with this potential kayak, it will be to one of the slow-moving, spring fed, freshwater rivers that are…
-
I was thinking about getting a kayak. I live directly across the street from a large lake and boat launch, but there are alligators in there. People actually use it as a hunting ground for gators when they are in season... would it be safe? I am also interested in sit-on vs. sit-in for a shallow lake as well.

Hi! As of now, I take 800 mg of magnesium a day, B12, ferrous fumarate, drink lots of water (10+ cups/day), avoid chocolate and flashing lights, and sit with the lights off at the office with my monitor on the lowest back light possible (I still have light sensitivity a month later). I went off of estrogen birth control…
