My dad always told me that working out helps you avoid getting a cold. Not sure how much of that is true but since I seriously started working out (mostly cardio) this year back in April, I haven't had a cold since. That is a feat within itself since practically everyone at my work has come to work at least 3 days…

I would go for the Tempo burger with no bun and a side salad instead of chips.

The Cybex Arc Trainer is my fave too. I do it at least 4 times a week. I love that it has incline and resistance and different settings so that you can have it change just like a tredmill or you can make your own like I did: Start- 15 resistance at 3 incline After first 50 cals burned- 25 resistance at 5 incline 100 cals…

Keep asking them to go with you or maybe suggest taking a walk together around your neighborhood or maybe play frisbee or something at the park. Maybe have a sit down with your parents and tell them that you are doing this for your health and you would really like to do it with them or for them to at least support you.…

I think that Monday should be "drink your water day". For those of us (me included) who have a hard time drinking the 8 cups over the weekend, it will be a nice kick to get back into that habit for the week.

I think I want to "re-take" my engagement pictures. :smile: I only like some of the originals because I was 20 pounds heavier than I am now. Maybe I will take a couple wedding pics too. Get some heavy duty clips to pull back the excess fabric on my dress...hmm...:happy:

I work the front desk and people ALWAYS leave the goodies on my counter. UGH! It drives me nuts. So I will leave them there for a couple minutes to see if I can resist, and if the temptation is too much, I will either take one and move the tray to the showroom where I can't see or smell them or I will move them right away.…

I met my husband on plenty of fish 3 yrs ago, my best friend met her boyfriend on POF 3 yrs ago and my sis-in-law met her boyfriend on POF 1.5 yrs ago. Obviously, I see nothing wrong with online dating and I am a true believer in it. I signed up 4 months after my ex had broken up with me because I was going to school…

2 years ago, I moved with my then boyfriend from Southern CA to Oregon, where I knew only his parents/siblings. I wanted to get out of the town where I lived because I couldn't go ANYWHERE in town without seeing someone from high school (usually someone who I didn't care for or someone who tormented me at some point in our…

I felt the same way every day and then I started working out almost daily and eating better. Sometimes when I feel like I want to skip the gym, I push myself to go anyways. I always feel more awake after a good work out. Have you tried pushing yourself to go for a walk, or go to the gym? Try doing some sort of exercise…

Last Monday: 204.2 Saturday Morning: 202.2 This morning: 203.4 (I was half bad and half good this weekend. Hoping the bad is making me gain water weight only, so today I have a salad for lunch and plan on going to the gym on my lunch break.)

My granddad once told me (when I was about 18) that I will never get a boyfriend if I didn't lose weight. Well, I am now married for over a year and I think I weigh less now than I did then. I think it's crazy that curves used to be strived for back in the day and now we strive for skinny. I think as long as we are…

I would love to join... I definately need some encouragement. I want to start 2012 under 200lbs. I am at 204.4 as of this morning and I just can't seem to get past 203.2 (I was there on Saturday). I am proud of what I have done thus far, I haven't weighed this low since I graduated high school in 2004. Again, all the…

First, a question...how are you counting your calories? Body bugg, pedometer...? I am not fully informed on P90X and what exactly it entails, but try doing something different. For example, if you are doing a lot of weight lifting/strength training, try doing that amount in the form of full cardio. I do the cybex eliptical…

You might want to talk to your doctor about Medifast. I did it and the first month I lost 17 punds. It gives you a set plan of what to eat and how much you should be eating and I believe that they have a diabetic plan. Many of my friends have done it and one has lost over 80 pounds since February. Since I started in July,…

Anyone who has ever had a problem with weight will struggle to see past what we are used to seeing. You see it a lot in those who have anorexia or bulemia where all they see is how fat their mind is making them think they are when in actuality they are underweight. I think it definately has something to do with the way you…

Have you tried to have a low calorie protein shake as your snack before you work out? I have found that I get most hungry during my work out, but it passes after about 10 minutes because my high water intake starts to kick in, and the last hour before I get out of bed in the morning. You have got the schedule down, eating…

I think it can take up to a full week for your body to adjust to lowered calories. The first couple days are the hardest because your body is used to eating more and now your metabolism is speeding up, therefore eating up not only the calories you intake faster, but it is also starting to eat your stored stuff. What is…
