I just went on a 4.5 hour rugged hike with my husband ! I BURNED 1426 CALORIES!!! I feel great!

You can squeeze your knees together 30 times to work your inner thighs. To work your outer thighs, put your hands on the outside of your knees to provide resistance. This will work your arms also. You can do "mini" knee ups. To do these, just sit up straight and barely lift your knees up. The weight of your legs will…

I love it!!!!!

I'm so glad you guys like the name! I have only been using this site for a couple of weeks. What do we need to do to start a group?

My must-haves: 1) Low-fat cottage cheese 2) Oatmeal for a low-calorie but super filling breakfast 3) friends to workout with 4) my food diary - it helps me remember that I can eat whatever I want, BUT...I have to log it! 5) Greek Yogurt

Brittany, Fellow short girl here! You sound like you have an amazing story. With all that you have conquered, this battle of the bulge will be nothing! Feel free to friend me.

Instead of punishing yourself when you slip up, reward yourself when you do a good job! For example, If I workout 3 times a week for a month, then I am going to let myself join a real gym. My second reward will be $10 toward new clothes every time I work out.

OOOOO! I'm excited! Proposed team name: The vertical challengers

I'm the giant of this group at 5'2'' LOL. Being so short is hard because 2 pounds gained for a short person looks like 10. The plus side, however, is that it works in reverse also. I lost 3 pounds recently and a ton of people noticed. Feel free to friend me. Chelsea

Though olive oil is good for you compared to other oils it is still about 14 g of fat per tbsp. I am sure that those gleaming veggies have absorbed at least a couple tablespoons. You can get much more bang for your 'calorie buck' by bringing your own roasted veggies from home and mixing in some lean protein by using…

Honestly, If you don't love you then it is really hard for anyone else too. Work on your confidence and I'm sure you will start turning heads. You are a really pretty girl, but low self esteem can't trump looks. Chelsea

Wow! Grad school and running a business. You must be one busy girl! I have a crazy work schedule too and I have learned that packing my lunch is key. We feel free to add me. Chels

I was a member of Curves for about a year, but I got bored with it really quickly. However, there were several great advantages too. First, it's women only. I liked that I didn't have to use the same machines as the muscle heads like I would in a regular gym. Also, Curves provided a great sense of community. All of the…

Make chicken and shrimp fajitas. Then everyone gets to put their individual fajita together however they want it. Fajitas are great for entertaining and will go great with what you are already making and what your friends are bringing! To make it even easier, get frozen fajita veggies at the grocery store. Easy and Delish!…

Unless you plan on only eating 500 calories a day long term (aka forever) the weight loss wont last. Even if you only plan to use this diet to loose weight fast and then plan on eating a healthy diet once you reach your goal weight, it still wont work. Your metabolism has probably slowed so much that when you start to eat…

"Let It Rock", by Kevin Rudolf featuring Lil Wayne. Love this song!

I love portabella mushroom caps. At just 20 calories and 5g carbs per servings, they are great for lunch! Think of them as a healthy substitute for a bread bowl. I fill them with veggie steamers mixed with mahogany rice and a little bit of cheese the night before and wrap them in aluminum foil and pop them in the fridge.…
