I just sold my SUV and got a much more fuel efficient Mazda 3 Hatchback which gets 39 mpg (2012 Skyactive motor). Hopefully my gas bill will shrink dramatically after switching from a 14 mpg Turbo premium gas hog. Basically we have to change our ways because the prices aren't going to change.

Stretching is important even if you don't work out. Not stretching led me to have a messed up kneecap.

I rarely drink, but when I do it's because I like the taste, not to get drunk off of it. For example, if there is Sangria, I will have some. I love the taste of it. Growing up my parents were alcoholics, stopped when I was nine and then when my dad died my mom started drinking again. In 2011 I lost my mother to stage 4…

Feel free to add!

Apples, bananas, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, asparagus, salad mix, whole wheat bagels, peanut butter, greek yogurt, granola, steaks, chicken, 1% milk

This makes me feel better! My husband doesn't get how I spend so much. It's expensive to eat healthy!

I just tried it for the first time... Awesome!

Diet Coke- yes I know it is bad, but I rarely drink alcohol and don't smoke. This is my one vice. My hubby and pets. Unfortunately my I-Phone-I love the darn thing. Oh and Target! Love me some Target!

Awesome job! Breaking 200 is my next milestone as well :)

My husband's cookie dough he bought for a friend's kid's fundraiser... Oh and maybe the fun size crunch bars, but hey they are fun size and a good feel like I am cheating hard core snack. Healthy- mushrooms, fruit, yogurt, egg whites

Awesome!

I will say I use the elevator if I can if my knees are bothering me, but I don't get on the stairmaster!

I had tendinitis and bursitis in my shoulder. I'd take my arthritis pain in both knees at the same time instead of tendinitis. I feel for you! I got a cortisone shot, rested it, did pt at home, and took an anti-inflammatory. Also, try an ice hot patch and ice when not using the patch, Oh and get a new ortho. Doctors forget…

Thanks everyone! Oh and I didn't know what NSV meant until like two months ago so no worries!

I agree! I had severe knee pain after first starting to work out and Zumba. Went to an Ortho and have since found out that I have arthritis in both knees. I get a shot of cortisone in both knees and take an anti-inflammatory. Oh and I wear a brace (ace) on whichever knee is hurting the most at the time. Also, IcyHot or…

Thanks for this! I have the majority of this already!

Jessica Biel!

I agree! I really like Ripped in 30, but I am not impressed with the Yoga Workout.

Awesome!

Lol!

Awesome!

The one thing I used to do on a "diet" is beat myself up for eating what I wanted. Now, if I want pizza I am going to eat it, but know I will have to adjust my other days. If you deprive yourself of all foods you are setting yourself up for failure.

I put ketchup on Goetta( Cincinnati breakfast meat) and mustard on turkey.

My mother dying in Feb 2011 of cirhosis of the liver. I don't want to be the person that dies because I didn't take care of myself. Those around me are worth the effort and so am I.

I am getting better at getting it in, but there are times I have to chug it. So if all else fails chug!

I weigh the week before and week after.

If you have an Iphone or smart phone of any kind there is an app called fooducate. You scan a product and it gives it a grade. Some of the foods that get Ds are shocking. For example, a fiber one 90 cal bar is a D. Shocking right?

WOW!
