^^^ THIS Your strawberries won't go bad in a few hours of not being refrigerated and it will alleviate the temptation if you don't go in there!

100% AGREE..don't even have to walk in..can smell it in the parking lot!

^^^^ Agree I've never been someone to force myself to when I'm NOT HUNGRY. But that's just me. If I'm hungry and worked out hard, then I let myself, but if I'm not hungry why force it down??

See..that movie made me think McDonald's was disgusting and don't eat there. And don't shoot cyber-arrows my direction, but honestly that picture doesn't look appetizing to me at all! I love cheeseburgers..but prefer my dad's :)

Once I hit my weight goal I have my artist designing one for my left side (ribcage to hip) that combines a cross, music, and lyrics that I love. It's helping keep me motivated!

100% Agree! If DVDs aren't your thing (they aren't mine) see if a nearby gym has classes. I always do better and stay motivated when other people are doing it with me! Zumba is fun..aerobics..if they have an indoor pool even water aerobics.. Good Luck..this is a great community of people for support..YOU CAN DO IT!!

Me too!! Gonna do the DisneyWorld half and the DisneyLand half!

Awesome! I have 7 piercings in my right ear and 6 in my left..and I can shake my eyes, too!!

Agree. I know it sounds harsh, but one thing I've learned the hard way is people have to learn from themselves and if you continuously bail them out they become dependent.

My running playlist is set at a 10:00 mile pace: Harder to Breathe - Maroon 5 Brown Eyed Girl - Van Morrison Dog Days Are Over - Florence + The Machine Sk8er Boi - Avril Lavigne Only the Good Die Young - Billy Joel We Got the Beat - The Go-Go's You Found Me - The Fray What the Hell - Avril Lavigne We're Not Gonna Take It -…

YES!! That's so awesome :P

I have 3 freckles on the left side of my face that form a perfect equilateral triangle (yes..it has been measured)! (I'm a math nerd..I know..)

I honestly LOVE the feeling of the beds but yes they are terrible for you. If you're going to go sprays for health, look into professional sprays to avoid lines and look more natural, but know the upkeep is expensive.

I'm not a mom, but add me if you want..I'm always down for extra support and encouragement :)

Thanks! I'll have to try that when I get home. Work blocks photobucket as "social networking" so can't access it directly from here. I'll do what I can later, should I remember :P

I'll try the photo thing but I <3 CATS! I have 2, a female and a male, both with completely different looks and personalities! The female is medium hair, black and white, with super soft fur and her name is Amaryllis Patches O'Houlihan (yes there's a story) and the male is short hair, sandy orange tabby, and is named…

I'm so excited about this program!! I did week 3 day 1 last night and was so worried that it was gonna kill me. Instead it felt AMAZING and didn't stress me near as bad as I thought. I'm gonna do this!!

I have found that when it comes to food MFP is RIGHT ON..but in exercise it overestimates most of the time. Just my findings, though.

I went to a local running store where they analyzed my foot/running pattern. Turns out I'm an extreme over-pronator so I got some Brooks Motion Control running shoes. LIFE-SAVER!! I'd recommend foot evaluation before putting $$$$ into shoes..most running stores will do them for free!

hahaha thanks y'all..I'll be sure to try a lot of these out :)

Thanks. Never heard of "fix it and forget it". Is that a website?

Hola! I'm Mandy. Feel free to add me..been here a while and always helps to have support and encouragement!

I taught for 4 years before going corporate DUE to the $$$. I taught HS math to the students who did not want to be there. Though I also supported merit-based pay I think it should be based on the merit of the teacher, not the performance of the student..but I read this a while back and as a mathematician..found it quite…

Welcome..though a joke could have been good :P Keep it up, girl..you sound like success is THE option!

I have a pair of jeans that I bought in Hawaii that I want to wear again!! They're my goal!! About 25 pounds til I can wear them again..but I'll get there same as you will..and it'll be AMAZING!!
