We're high fivers. And we have our own signs (like sign language) for certain words. We wont even have to talk soon. :)

I need to know the answer to this.

I know what it's like to busy single mom trying to juggle kids, work, a boyfriend and exercise. That being said, I think you should look at your priorites and see what, exactly you can find time to do. You should schedule it, jsut like you schedule the boys' hockey. can you walk, or jog or something while they're…

I'm getting married March 25th!! Lost 40 lbs, though the first 23 was not on MFP. I'd like to lose 30 more, but more realistically will lose about 15 more, and that's just fine. :) Feel free to add me!!

I was in a well fitting 18 and now I'm in a tight 12!! Hooray for progress!! What's funny, is, I don't think I knew I was so big. Especially since I slowly stretched out all of my 14's. So, I thought at 215 lbs I was still just a "tight 14".

I was told by a body builder/personal trainer that the protein and carbs are too low and too high, respectively. What he recommends is your IDEAL weight in grams of each. For me, that means a difference of about 100 less carbs than what MFP suggests and about 70 more protein grams. Do what is right for your body and what…

That's what keeps me going everyday!!

a big butt and a smile... even though I've been told never to trust it. teehee... :)

My Best NSV to date happened last week at the gym. My regular buddies didn't come with me to a boot camp class that has a ton of running. In a typical class, I would always bring up the rear. the instructor would sometimes create a new, shorter route for me to run, so that I could finish with the group. Well, last…

I love you.

Congratulations!! I'm also getting married soon!! Those pictures are the scariest part about it for me!! I've lost 35 lbs, but only 10 w myfitnesspal. I have been singing the praises of myfitnesspal to anyone who will listen. I, too, credit Boot Camp with getting me into better shape. :) Thanks for posting! Mind if I add…

At 196 lbs in 2006, I was completely happy, eating McDonald's every day, sometimes twice a day. If I had a tough time, or my kids did a good job, we'd reward, comfort, entertain with food. We knew no different, as that how the environment is. I was brought up by a single mother with no time for cooknig healthy in the 80's…

It really only takes about 6 weeks to train for a 5k. There's nothing wrong with running "another one" in April, but I would sign up for a Turkey Trot or a Santa Run sometime soon. When I started running, and I still don't consider myself a "runner", I did the c25k and it was so helpful. I ran my first 5k in 42 minutes…

I go to the gym for a class before I start my day m-f, and sometimes (rarely) on Sunday. Monday-20 minute walk/run on the treadmill then Body Pump Class Tuesday-I run 3 miles Wednesday and Thursday-I got to a boot camp class-the Wednesday class is more cardio based, the Thursday more strength. Friday I do 20 minutes on the…

I had the same thing happen last week. 5 lbs slipped off quickly, but guess what? They came right back!! It was so disapointing that I couldn't enjoy the 2 lb victory I really had at the end of the week! Try to stay off the scale for a full week and weigh at the same time when you do weigh. Good job and stick with it!!

Just do it! It seems so hard at first, but if you stick with it for about 2 weeks, or a month (even on weekends) it'll become second nature!

Working in a liquor store, I was once asked, "What do I need for Gin and Tonics?"

Just had spinach at lunch!! Thanks for reminding me why!!

I work full time, 8:30-5 Monday-Friday. I get up at 4:35 some days and 5am some days. I take classes at my gym monday-friday and rest on the weekends, or do a light activity. I've started walking with some office mates at work during lunch for about a half hour. I'm also a mother of two. I get sleepy pretty early in the…

I've found spin to much easier than running. Especially on your knees!!!

YAY!!!
