I'm getting married in June. For me the: I really need to get my butt in gear, moment was when I saw pictures of myself with my fiance. I realized I don't want to feel that gross about my wedding pictures. So my initial reasons were pretty vain. My secondary motivation is how crap I feel right now. The simplest physical…

I honestly have no idea how to use Pinterest. LOL. I feel so technologically incapable. Thank you though! I shall attempt to figure out how to navigate the bulletin board of the internet!

Oh, awesome! For whatever reason my brain wasn't computing what the orange container was FOR. Good suggestions! Thank you.

That's awesome! James Veitch that duck! LOL!

I've been told because of my thyroid issues that I should have a high fat diet but I just have no idea what that looks like!!! I don't really know how to incorporate healthy fats into my meal planning. The person who suggested it to me was trying to sell me something so I just kind of gave up on learning but hey, maybe now…

Good idea! Orange Container 'accepted' foods: Pumpkin seeds Sunflower seeds Sesame seeds Flaxseed Olives Peanuts Coconut Olives I can technically have but they make my skin crawl and that's usually a precursor to allergic reaction so I avoid them.

I've only been faithfully doing this for 17 days now. My NSV so far is just learning not to snack, not eating as much junk food and not drinking as much soda. In the last 17 days I've had 3 sodas. 3!!! That's HUGE for me. I used to drink 1L of Diet Pepsi EVERY SINGLE DAY and sometimes more than that! I have also gone for a…

Holy moly!

For me, personally, I get really, really, really weak if I try to do any physical activity without eating something first. Like the huge change in my endurance is baffling. Haha.

"Hey! Anybody lose a leg?" You aren't REALLY running until your leg falls off. >.< How do these things happen is what I'm wondering. Haha. I want to know the stories behind how these items get lost!

OMG! ROFLMAO! That's brilliant!

I'd walk with you in a second. In fact, in your area, I think that's the ONLY way I'd walk!

LOL!!!!! OH dear. Good thing you reminded them about that pesky Daylight Savings Time!

I had choir rehearsal tonight so 2 hours of piano time. I figure that's enough for today but tomorrow, a non-rehearsal day, I shall practice! I have a performance Sunday so it's a good time to start giving it more effort. Haha.

Now I feel justified in ignoring all those people, all those years, who kept telling me Diet Pepsi was bad for me. PEPSI DARLING! I'm coming home.

Crabs! LOL! And teeth!!! And random run-aways oh my! Craziness. Wish I could find some money. It would motivate me. :P

Resting kitten face. LOL I love this forum.

Aw. That's the worst. Since gaining weight I haven't been able to sing at all. Feels like I never have enough air. Haha. Hoping exercise will make my lungs healthier. Not the same but I can feel your pain.

Music is such great therapy! I hope you do get back into it. :)

Headphones. Put them in. Ignore anyone who attempts to talk. Don't make eye contact. If you must just pretend you don't hear them because you're focusing. I was the sort who was chatty at gym but that's because I workout better if I'm chatting. I'm just a chatter. But if someone had their headphones in I wouldn't attempt…

Intelligence. :) Kindness. Good sense of humor. British accents. Any of the above gets me going.

I still hate performing but for me the paycheque outweighed the fear. I was like: Wait, I can get paid for doing something I love? And all I have to do is push passed all the fear and anxiety that performing brings? I'm down for that. Shoot. Think I found a way I could lose weight! If somebody paid me to do it!!! I'd be on…

I am a professional pianist who never practices. ROFLMAO! I'm down for this challenge. If for no other reason than it will stop me from feeling guilty for being paid. :blush: I've managed to insert 10-15 minute walks into my day so now I will also add 10-15 minutes piano practice and 10 minutes guitar (I've been wanting to…

D: Totally my worst fear. The bear, not the snakes. We don't get snakes that are dangerous here. Just the silly, tiny ones.

That's awesome!!! LOL!

LOL. And how high were you? ;)

LOL! FML if that happens. I can lose weight, I can't do anything about the girls.

This is a tough question... When I signed up for medical insurance, they wouldn't cover any pre-existing conditions. So on that hand I can see how being obese could be seen as a pre-existing condition waiting to happen. BUT, on the other hand, plenty of obese/overweight people don't have any of the illnesses one would…

AAAH!!!!! D:

YES! Start an instagram! LOL! I'd follow. And what on earth! How? Why? What?
