  • It has already been said, but yes, KEEP IT SIMPLE. It's really hard to jump into something complicated and then stick to it. Definitely do log everything! And consider frozen produce. Even that can be steamed and still maintain positive nutritional benefits. You have a great attitude, and that's half the battle. I have…
  • I try to control my breathing, I'm really just starting, and find that this method works best for me. it seems to keep me from hyperventilating. been doing it for years (lol when i used to be an athelete)
  • I used to hate running for this same reason, however, i find that if i chew (or just kind of roll it around in my mouth from time to time) some gum while running it keeps my throat lubricated, thereby making it easier to breathe. I also find that if i concentrate on a breathing pattern (two in through the nose (two steps)…

So I would say that if getting healthy is something that will make you happy then GO FOR IT!! the release of endorphins from exercise it a simply wonderful…
  • being that we are so close in age, height, and starting weight you are a huge inspiration to me! You look AMAZING!! simply amazing!
  • I am all about this one right now!! Had knee surgery two weeks ago. The lack of cardio is REALLY starting to drive me crazy!!
  • Green tea has long been a love of those trying to drop weight for its metabolism boosting qualities, but BE CAREFUL! while tea is not as caffeinated as coffee, it's still there. Getting yourself attached to all that caffeine (3 cups/day) can wreak havoc on your system. you can actually become addicted to the stuff.…

  • I agree with this idea whole heartedly. My mom invited a work friend over for Thanksgiving and a few days before made sure to let her know that I am a lesbian and that my girlfriend would be there as well. She then asked the woman if she had a problem with it. Her response was "On no it doesn't bother me at all, as long as…
