Great job on reducing the sodas, but eliminating them all together is key. If you are doing it just for the caffeine, try coffee with a fun creamer. I used to drink at least 2 20oz coke/cherry cokes a day then I decided to quit- I made it just fine with only 1 cup of coffee a day. Also there is a very helpful YouTube video…

BEAST!!! That is awesome!

My husband really had the "whatever" attitude when I started 370+ days ago. I had said I was going to start losing weight many times before and did nothing, so he just wasn't going to react. He told me that I needed to measure out my own food because he wasn't doing it, so I did. Once I showed him I was serious for a few…

I was pretty out of shape when I started 30DS and thought level one was pretty easy the first time I did it. The next day it didn't feel that it was so easy. I also quickly needed to up my weights. Then once I finished it, I used the various workouts when I didn't have a lot of time or was feeling lazy- because I knew what…

I'm not breastfeeding any more, but I found that when I had a high protein breakfast it made me less ravenous throughout the day. Make sure you are keeping healthy food around so you cannot even make the bad choices. Maybe splurge on some already cut up fruit or veggie trays- I know it is so much easier to eat when I don't…

Depends on what state you are in and what your Right To Work laws are- but in a sense yes you can. You can fire them for "not fitting the corporate image"

Quit looking. My husband & I met through friends at a time when both of us were warding off men & women b/c we had been hurt so much and were tired of all the crap. We ended up talking some and we got each other's numbers and its all history.

I had 2 things: 1. A little over a year ago my daughter's babysitter got a personal trainer at $200/month (about what I give her each month to care for my child!!) and she was losing like crazy so I thought if she can lose weight so can I. 2. My husband and I had a fight in which one of the MANY topics we discussed he told…

I can totally agree! I wanted a tramp stamp, and I knew what I wanted for a really long time, then as I got older I found something that means more to me and different placement- SO happy I waited!

[/quote] [/quote] [/quote] you never know. i've lost a big 0 pounds in the past 2 months but dropped 2 pant sizes. i'm rethinking my weight goal because at this rate, if i reached my weight goal, i'd end up a size 2 which is way below my goal size of 6 [/quote] I hear you on that! I thought I wanted to be a size 8 and now…

I made myself log without changing anything, then I saw what the calories were in my meals out (i.e. fast food) and I decided to start eliminating that- I make myself stay home when I have food at home and I try REALLY hard to bring my lunch even if it's just a sandwich. Then I started making simple changes like getting…

Just keep doing it! I've done the whole thing and it does get "easier" and you hurt less- but be prepared to hurt every time you move on to the next level.

When I got them back in high school, we didn't really know about compression socks, so I would opt for the cheap tan ace knee brace in a size too small for my knee- which fit my shin perfectly- and would continue running.

^^^This!!^^^

I have lost all my weight without 1 trip to a gym. Most of my loss has been from logging my food and staying within my calorie goals by MFP. I did actually start working out a little over a month ago- I am doing Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred- and some tone has definitely come out with that. Running was awesome using the…

They need to put forth some kind of effort. If they aren't willing to help themselves, there is nothing out there that will help them. Do they realize that all they get is those shakes? Do they realize that they cannot eat like they have been and get results? My step-daughter is in a similar situation, and I refuse to do…

I put them in unless it is something like 2-3 grapes that my child leaves behind or a bite of banana.

Get some friends that will hold you accountable and that you will feel guilty if you don't log in. Also set your diary to where your friends can see it so if you have a rough spell they can give you a little kick in the butt IF you go off track. If you would like to add me- feel free.

I have the 30 Day Shred and it is kicking my butt! I (and others) have noticed some serious changes in my body over the past couple weeks that I have been doing it.

Ok, I went here http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/ and figured my BMR which came out around 1489. Then it says to multiply by different #'s for sedentary, lightly active, moderately active, so on and so forth (I went with lightly active- I work in retail and am on my feet all day at work and walking helping…

Looks like you need to quit eating out so much or make healthier choices when you eat out. If the calories are too few, maybe you should reevaluate what you want to lose- lower 1300's usually means 1.5 lbs/week- only try for 1lb/week so you can get a handle on your eating. It is a way of life, you will have to change…

Get the support on here and hopefully he will jump on. At first my husband wasn't negative, just didn't really care- I have been talking about losing weight for a while now. Since I have lost weight and am exercising he is very supportive of all of it- he even checks how much of a food I am supposed to have and measures it…

That is pretty much the point of this whole thing. She appears to be looking for ideas for ways that they can. Here is a thought I'm throwing out there (and I understand its not the cheapest way)- look at getting a home weight set and maybe a piece of cardio equipment. In the long run it would save money over the gym…

I use Nike+ to help me figure the numbers and distance with C25K- I think mine is actually Ease into 5K. I usually add up the run time and put that down, then the walking time (don't forget your warm-up time for walking). I will also round down a little- under guess on exercise, over guess on food ;) I go for time, not…

Don't over do it, but keep going. Your knees will build up strength and this will probably be good for them in the long run. Listen to your body- by now you should know the difference between strained hurt and building hurt. Do your leg lifts that they recommended after your surgery as part of your cool-down too. Another…

I agree- I wouldn't just walk up to a guy (especially one with headphones in) to ask him about his running or his workout- men & women work out completely different. I do see that the question was about boredom while running- but clearly you are listening to something or you wouldn't have the headphones in. The guy sounds…

In thru the mouth out thru the nose. Force yourself to inhale longer, hold for a second and then breathe out. I spent the first 3 weeks of my running program working on my breathing.

This is where I was going to go- lots of processed foods. Also noticing a lot of breads in there, are they whole wheat breads?

Absolutely! Bring the pic and talk to your hairdresser about it! I bring mine pix all the time and she tells me yes or no, or even suggests something similar but is better suited for my face.

If you can manage to find Enteric Coated (EC) they are easier to stomach. I just couldn't do it, so I am taking Flaxseed Oil and that is working for me. I was having gallbladder attacks for a few months and once I started taking that again about 3 months ago, the attacks stopped and I only take one a day- not the 2-3 a day…
