That's wonderful! You should feel awesome. About the stairs and teaching us all a new word.

That's awesome! It can be really hard to break bad habits, and it sounds like you've got yourself on a good track. Congrats!

Bump. This is a lot of good info.

bump for later when I have more time!

*High Five* That's awesome! And great choice of images.

That's awesome! Good fitting jeans are some of the best motivators.

I was just a bridesmaid for my college room mates wedding, And I made that mistake. It was a great party, but that was a rough night trying to sleep. Have fun and dance! It'll at least burn some of those calories.

Thanks ladies! I've been encouraging my mom to go on walks with me. She's a below the knee amputee, and is kind of caught in a catch 22. She needs to lose weight so the prosthetic works better, but it's hard for her to exercise with the prosthetic the way it is. Hopefully the eating habits will help.

I find the more water I drink, the less sore I am the next day. I've also heard some people say eating protein after a work out helps with the soreness. I haven't tried that yet. If you're legs are wobbly, don't run. You could always do less intense cardio, like a light jog or shorter workout. Just listen to your body. If…

I was just thinking of adding protein powder to my diet, so I'm really interested to see what everyone says.

Thanks for starting this thread. It's super helpful. Now this isn't strictly exercise, but do you have any suggestions for how much protein a 25 yr old woman should eat to build muscle? Also super general (I know, everyone is different), when do you think people start seeing their efforts pay off? Again, thanks for all the…

Just north of Philly. We were outside eating lunch when all the trash cans started shaking. We thought it was the quarry.

This souns like so much fun! I work at a haunted house, so I don't usually get to dress up for halloween. Lately, my job has me being a possessed girl with a chelsea smile. I do intend to make some costumes for upcoming comic cons/movie openings. Because I'm a big giant nerd. I would love to see everyone's pictures!

I agree with everyone else. Double check with your local ordinances, but as long as your dog is contained in your yard, it would be their responsibility for not having control of their dog.

I"m just starting crossfit (today will actually be my first class) and would love the extra motivation. I have about 30 lbs to lose, though that's negotiable if I add muscle, as long as I'm losing inches.

I'm actually giving it a shot tonight. I'm on the east coast, but the one by me is giving me a free two week trial. See if they'll offer you the same?

It's a big long list of why. I want to feel good about myself-always. That means feeling comfortable in my own skin. I want to be healthy and feel healthy. I don't feel that way with an extra 30lbs on my stomach. I want to be able to do things, like play baseball or go on a bike ride with my boyfriend with out having to…
