What exercises are you doing? I'm looking at starting lifting but am rather gymtimidated (new favourite word). Also, are you doing any cardio along with lifting or just the weights?

Langley, BC!

In. Please. No preference for which I'm in. I'll trust the sorting hat to make that decision for me. :)

Lol - the first few weeks of logging are always a bit of an eye opener. A small tip, if you had to open a package to get to the food, it's probably got some added sodium. Also, if you find you're really struggling with sodium and getting your amounts down, drink plenty of water. It can help a bit - it's not a 100% fix, but…

Let's re-phrase the question. I think that's where many of the "You can't spot reduce" arguments come from. Miscommunication is a *****. I have loose skin from losing weight. (You're welcome grammar nerds) How do I now fill that loose skin with something that is not jiggly fat (ie: muscle) in the arms? What are the most…

Add me! I'm not logging much right now due to work, school, kid, life in general. But I log in daily to cheer people on. Also, once I'm done this semester I'll be back to more regular logging. Have my SIL's wedding coming up where I will be thoroughly judged, I better get cracking!

Great job! You can already see such a difference.

White Christmas. I've already seen it 2.5 times this month :)

You know the definition of the word bonus right? It's extra. Unless you have something in your contract stating bonus amounts you have no right to be pissed. You're still employed, that's a bonus in itself.

Smaller breasts = more perks in the nursing home! You know the saying "the bigger they are, the harder they fall?" Think about that in terms of boobs and ageing. I'll take my smaller size any day.
-
That's great! You must be really getting fit, instead of just skinny :)
-
Walk. Walk walk walk walk walk. You'll thank me for this advice in the delivery room. Also, Yoga. Get the prenatal yoga DVD's, go to a class etc. Again, don't just think of weight loss, that's also for the delivery room. How far into C25K are you? If you're already rocking week eight, keep at it. You're used to the…

I just renewed mine. So right now, I'm fairly accurate. But in a few months I hope to be well below it :)
-
Amazing!

I feel the same way about my belly. I've always had a larger bum and legs, but at least I had a GREAT waist. Now... not so much :(
-
Ahhhh, welcome fellow pear shape! Seriously though, blame genetics for this one. Only thing I've found that works the "saddle bag" area is leg lifts, squats, and lunges. Basically anything that will work your bum and legs will eventually work it's way to your outer thigh/hip. But it'll take time. That's where your body…

Yeah, I'm going to need that whole outfit. You fully earned a two syllable damn today!

I'm 5'10.5" too. I'm looking to lose about another 10 - 20 lbs (depending on if I can put some muscle on). Trying to get down around 165. Feel free to add me as a friend!
-
I can't wait! I'm on week 4 day 1 and I'm having such a hard time increasing my time/distance. I'm sure it's all mental but Man am I struggling. You've given me hope to jump back on the treadmill tonight.

I have a 2.5 year old daughter and I both hubby and I work full time. 7:00 - 7:30 Wake up, get myself ready for the day 7:30 - 8:00 Get Daughter up, finish packing essentials for the day and leave for daycare drop off 8:00 - 9:00 Daycare drop off and commute to work 9:00 - 5:00 Work 5:00 - 6:00 Commute home and daycare…

Do you have dry skin? I have riciulously dry skin and I get awful breakouts. What happens is my face gets so dry it creates extra oils as a method of moisturizing. Extra oil = bad breakouts. So I make sure I moisturize every morning and night after washing my face. I use Clinique products for moisture, and the cheapest…

How could I forget AC/DC?! And Zeppelin? *Goes to hang head in shame*
-
Yes to Chromeo. Fancy Footwork is great for a run.
-
I'm also currently loving Band of Skulls, Mother Mother, The Zola's, Django Django, Vampire Weekend, Grimes, Sheepdogs and Black Keys have some good songs, as well as anything Jack White has been involved in (although I prefer Raconteurs).
-
I just downloaded Fat Boy Slim's Greatest Hits Album. Fantastic for Cardio, and a trip back in time to 1999!

To the distance runners. Your weight may not have changed due to water retention etc (as many of you pointed out already), but what about inches? I personally don't care about what the little box in the bathroom says when I step on it. It's only a tool to guage overall health. I'm interested in actually getting healthy so…
-
What about trying something like pilates? Or even starting strength training (lifting)? I know you can't spot reduce but perhaps toning and strengthening your core would help. Also, eating clean should help for sure.
-
Tall girls unite!! I'm 5'10/11" as well and yeah 140 is too low for my frame. I'm hoping for a toned 165-170. That would put me into a size 10 and I'd be fairly happy there I think.
-
As somebody's daughter, and a mother of one, THANK YOU! You did two things there. 1: Got a young impressionable girl away from a creep (biggest yay!) 2: Helped that girl learn that ditching your friends for a guy is NOT a grown up thing to do. I know 2 is completely besides the point, but I just felt that needed pointing…

What a change! That definitely looks like more than 15 lbs. You look so much happier now. PS: You're starting photo looks like me now, can I ask how tall you are? I'm 5'10" and around 175 lbs (depending on the day and how much my scale likes me that morning)
