If I eat something that comes in different colors, like fruit snacks, I have to separate them into like colors and then I eat them starting with the color that has the fewest first.

I've heard some kind of flaxseed in your shake will actually fill you up until lunchtime. I have yet to try it though....I'm not one for shakes.

A ticking clock. But "Beautiful Disaster" by Kelly Clarkson is stuck on repeat in my head! :)

I'm not on WW so I don't care about the points part of it, but a mini cake? Sounds amazing and right up my alley!

Woohoo! Just (literally) started a 30 day challenge with Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred so this is great! It will definitely keep me motivated to keep going and lose weight by Christmas! Thank you for starting this!

I met a guy online and we exchanged phone numbers.....turns out all he wanted was phone sex. As soon as I found that out, I hung up on him and changed my number! LMAO!

Anyone? I've been doing it every day also except for when I work 16 hour days.

I work 16 hours tomorrow (7am-1130m) so I'm debating taking a rest day tomorrow already. Either that or getting up way earlier to get it done. I know I won't be able to do it when I get home. After my last double, I came home, crashed, and slept for amost 13 hours!

I just log it using my HRM. I burn about 300 calories which includes a warm up and a pretty long cool down (it takes a while for my heart rate to come down after a workout like that).

I just started today also! I finished Level 1 and went all the way through completely. I've always had to stop before because it just got too hard. But today I pushed and I completed it! :) I took before measurements, but I'll post those after the 30 days.

I use a Polar FT4 HRM. I LOVE it! :) Plus it's much cheaper than a fitbit and I feel it's very accurate. I don't need to know how much I sleep or how many steps a day I've taken. I'm a nurse. I take well over 10000 steps on days that I work!

LMAO. I gotta say, when I'm home, I generally workout in a bra and undies so I didn't go COMPLETELY there, but sort of! :)

I've been in the same mindset, mainly because I had finals and graduation and parties to go to the past 2-3 weeks. But now that that is all done with, I'm trying to get back into the "healthy" frame of mind again. I had been eating ok up until this past week (parties and party food does that to me) but I had stopped…

I was jealous and turned on at the same time! LMAO! I walked out of the theater with a new crush!

Jensen Ackles and Zac Efron. Anyone seen The Lucky One yet? Oh My God. I wanted to be the chick in the shower scene! LMAO

LMAO! I was going to put Jensen Ackles! :D

I've never been to the Market....what is it like? How expensive is it?

I just joined hoping for the same thing! Lol. But I'm on the opposite side....in Sun Prairie! :/

I just joined this group so hopefully I'm not too late with answering this post! :) I've been on Metformin for a little over a year. I got really, REALLY sick when I first started on it so I stopped it for a few months. I restarted it and have been fine ever since. I think the first time I had the stomach flu as well as…

Just joined today! Glad to see some other T1s out there! :) At what age and what year were you diagnosed with T1? 14 months, 1982 What is your best A1c to date? 7.1 What's your lowest recorded blood sugar? 18 Have you ever been hospitalized due to diabetes besides your diagnosis? Yes, 1 time in 4th grade for a week to…

I'm pretty anal and I always make sure my minimum net intake is at least 1200 calories. If I ate a total of 1400 and burned 600, I will eat that extra 400 to bring it up to 1200, but I usually won't eat more than that. That way, I still have a deficit and my body is getting the calories it needs to keep functioning.

That's awesome! :) You can totally see a difference! :)

In total agreement here! :)

I'm so in! :) Week 1 Weekly Goal: 3500 Mon: calories burned (how they were burned) Tues: calories burned (how they were burned) Wed: calories burned (how they were burned) Thur: calories burned (how they were burned) Fri: calories burned (how they were burned) Sat: calories burned (how they were burned) Sun: calories…

240, about 4 years ago (I was 25). Then I started walking with a friend and I lost about 30 pounds. I slacked off for a few years after that but I didn't gain more than 5 of it back. Now I'm back, at 209, and wanting to get rid of the rest!

When I was 16 (and I only weighed about 150 at the time) a woman (stranger) put her hands ON MY BELLY (!!??!?!) and said "Don't worry. It looks like you're due any day now." I just looked at her and said "I'm not pregnant. First of all, I'm only 16, and secondly, I'm just fat. But thank you" and walked away. *****!

I made my own egg scrambler. I had 2 large eggs, 1 slice of reduced fat colby-jack cheese, and 4oz hamburger meat. It was alright. Won't be making it again though! LoL.

Former band geek. I play the clarinet in high school (officially). I also played (unofficially) flute, sax, and about 5 notes on a trumpet! LoL! I was also captain of our flag squad (Color guard) and LOVED that as well! Yup. Die hard band geek here! :)

I may have to steal this! Great idea! :)

Leslie Sansone. I LOVE her DVDs. My favorite is the 4 Fast Miles one. It combines walking, jogging, and intervails. It's a GREAT workout!
