This is something I have been actively working on lately. Part of what I'm noticing in myself is that feeling hungry makes me uncomfortable and panicky. One of things I have been doing to deal with that is meditating for a few seconds when I feel hunger. I remind myself, "You are ok. You are not starving. It will be time…

MirelaH - Your boards make Vegan cooking look delicious! I will have to check out some of your recipes. I have been wanting to integrate more vegetarian dishes into my diet. pbprincess - I laughed so hard when I read: Whenever you read the words low-fat or fat-free, think chemical sh!tstorm. erikrichter - I will have to…

I just started using Pinterest and I love it. It is so wonderful to create visual bookmarks. I'm planning a wedding right now so whenever I start in looking at fitness, I end up looking at wedding stuff :) I'll definitely check out your boards.

This makes me laugh because Karl Lagerfield lost weight and kept it off on a diet of cigarrettes and Diet Coke. That qualifies his opinion. What a douche.

I left SF about 3 years ago but my favorite place to run was Golden Gate Park between Park Presidio and Ocean Beach. There are some fun little dirt paths you can find and there is nothing quite like seeing the ocean. I lived on 14th and Lincoln so GG Park was pretty much my back yard... sigh.

I really enjoyed the blog post. Great job and good luck getting to Greece :)

I think this says it all : Posts by members, moderators and admins should not be considered medical advice and no guarantee is made against accuracy. ...no guarantees of accuracy. I can think of a lot of dumb *kitten* I see everyday.

There is a light at the end of the tunnel. I have been binge free for about 5 years. What I can say is what helped me was seeing a counselor. I was able to be referred to a PhD candidate through my school because I wasn't able to afford to pay for counseling on my own. I cannot tell you enough how much it helped. If that…

Hehe!

I just wanted to say that you ladies have made my week. I'm not brave enough to post a picture but I was able to put on a swim suit this week and feel proud. Thank you.

My coworker noticed I've been losing weight and she brought me a beautiful dress that she hasn't been able to wear. I had a great conversation with a friend. My fiance and I are going out for a cocktail tonight.

First I would say, there is no reason to compare yourself to other people at the gym. Getting distracted by their routines is not going to help you improve your performance. There are some good running programs out there. I really like a podcast called podrunner. It's kind of techno-y but the tempos are really well paced…

I kept up in my turbo kick class I ate a steak and was still under my pre-work out calories I got a birth announcement from a friend in the mail today - it was awesome!

Work went by quickly I worked out even though my legs felt like jello today My fiance is awesome

Such a good point. I think it is easy to think of the really uncomfortable situations where a guy is being a creep but this is also a real situation. I think in this situation it is best to just take it as it comes. It's very similar to being able to accept a compliment. It takes time and it feels awkward but there are…

If it is blatantly disrespectful I will address it. This line has worked very well for me: Have I done something to disrespect you? Please, do not disrespect me. It totally takes the dude off guard and it helps me feel more in control of the situation. Mind you, I have only done this in situations where I feel physically…

It was 45 degrees - which felt like spring today I'm having dinner with some friends tonight This thread rolled over :)

Initial post: Simple rules: 1) It has to be something that made YOU happy, not someone else. 2) It can't be "backhanded" happy, such as you didn't get hit by a bus. Stick to reality. Not getting attacked by zombies doesn't count, either. I started this with my daughter because she would leave me notes when i would tuck her…

My fiance started working out today! I burned 1200 calories tonight I came home to a crockpot of fully prepared dinner

I take a double approach. I look for different kinds of salads for lunch every week then I grab a few different kinds of frozen vegetables at the store. I heat them and fold them into my meals wherever I can, eggs, pasta, beans, casseroles, whatever I can.

Just because I'm an opera singer it isn't a free invitation for you to: Sing to me. You have bad technique and I don't want to hear it. Ask me to sing in random public places. I wouldn't ask you to perform your trade in the middle of a bar after 2 drinks. Try and find out "who" I know. I don't know anyone that would…

I would love to join! I'm currently 223 and my goal is to lose 8 lbs this month. I have not been losing a lot of over the past few weeks and I think a challenge is just what I need to hold myself more accountable. I eat about 1700 calories a day and work out 5-6 days a week. I'll have to post my measurements on the 1st.

Thanks for doing this! I've been looking for a Feb challenge Name/ real name: reneeileen/Rene Goal weight on February 29th: 214 2/01: 2/06: 2/13: 2/20: 2/27: 2/29:

I am feeling very loved this morning. I need to go grocery shopping but I was still able to scrounge up a great breakfast between the freezer, the fridge, and the pantry. My burn is visibly healing after a week of by the book wound care.

I got to spend the whole morning in my pajamas I spent an hour and a half playing music this afternoon and learning a new song I don't have to make dinner tonight - we are going to a friend's house.
