  • Awesome post, love this message.
  • I lost 50 pounds between last March and September, and maintained it throughout the fall, so I definitely think it is an achievable goal! Developing caloric awareness by using this website was key. I am ready now to go on to lose the remaining 40 I want to lose. Good luck!!!
  • I agree with what everyone else said, and I would also suggest you go right out and buy yourself a bathing suit that makes you feel beautiful and comfortable for your trip! You deserve to feel good in the clothes you wear WHILE you are losing weight, not just the goal weight! Good luck!
  • I woudl love to hear suggestions on this, too!!!!!
  • Go to the bluenose website and look up past race results for your age group. That'll give you an idea.
  • This is such a great post - so motivational! I just completed week 5, day 2 and it is an insane jump this week - 20 minutes! I agree, though, it is amazing in that moment when you hit your stride and actually feel comfortable in the running moment. Yay!

  • Wow, great recipes! How do you find the ginger blends in? I use a Magic Bullet to make smoothies, sometimes it isn't the greatest for harder and/or frozen foods.
  • Great idea - I am totally in! My goals: 1. Start and complete an 8 week 5k running prgram 2. Stop eating in front of the TV and eating while reading. 3. Try to only eat when I am hungry and stop when I am full. First time in a long time I have looked forward to Monday! :)
  • Thank you for sharing! I also struggle with binge eating and it is amazing how you can shovel in a huge amount of calories without even being aware of how much you consumed when you "wake up" after the binge. I am also focusing on just being mindful of when/how I eat. One of my goals is to eat when I am hungry, but I…
