5 lbs weights are pretty rough!! I use 3 lbs for 30DS because the intensity level. I feel I get a really good workout :)

Thanks everyone :-)))

I have done a little 30DS before but never finished the full program. I randomly started today and then found this group later! =] Glad to be doing this with a bunch of you!!!

I'm Michelle and I used to live in NJ but now I live in Vermont. I've only been here like a week and I don't have any friends LOL

This is funny but also true. :sad: hahahaa

Might be the cold weather? Comfort foods always come into play when we're cold, I think. I don't really know.

Uhhhh Today I registered a 1% loss in body fat from last month on my scale. I don't even know if that's significant, but I'm not gonna complain about it haha! =]

HA! You're too kind, really. =] I do accept friend requests though, so if anyone here likes what I write, add me. I randomly post blogs lol

Hi Jenn!! This week looks fun! I don't think I'll make it for the no sweetener thing because I only have Splenda.. but I wanna do everything else and I'll try to cut back on that!!! As far as sneaking veggies in.. I drink V8 Fruit Fusions Light. It tastes AWESOME and fruity but has a serving of vegetables in a 50 calorie 8…

MFP just guesstimates but they don't factor in how hard you're working. If your machine has an HRM at the gym it's probably more accurate. A lot of people use HRM's that they buy themselves to get a more accurate count :)

... You're not doing anything wrong. I think everyone here is just confused about why a number matters so much to you. If you like how you look then who cares about the number?? Your logic in this is just not making sense to anyone. As far as your comment to take a lighter weight over a smaller size any day is really…

I know that there'd be a lot of exposure if Facebook shut down. However, an argument could be made that Facebook is more important as a tool for communication and spreading the word. Personally, I saw a lot of people posting and discussing about SOPA on Facebook yesterday. If it was shut down, those discussions wouldn't…

So glad you're back!! Sorry I have been slacking too. Time to get back on the crazy train!!!! =]

@ActorGirl You look like Renee Zellwegger! (Although much younger)

Personally I'd like to be a 12 again but I can tell you that at 5'3" when I was a 12 I was still really unhappy. lol Whatever people are happy with is their own choice. I try not to pay attention to the media for cues on what looks right or wrong or healthy or unhealthy. I think the key is to just do what is best for us.…

If your muscles are a little sore, they're probably retaining water. Keep at it, and drink tons of water! =]

Do you have a gym membership?? Arc Trainer is my best friend for life. Also, 30 Day Shred is good for toning and losing inches all around..

Wear the same clothes in your before & after pics! =] That will help you see how things fit differently and will help you see the difference

This would be super helpful but I am sure I would do it wrong because I'm lucky if I can add correctly.. Joking of course (except I really am terrible at math) but in all honesty thanks!!! =]

I know how you feel about the huge number being overwhelming. Sometimes I feel like that too.. but with muscle gain and etc you may end up looking how you want before you reach your goal weight. It's one of those things we won't know til we get there. =]

I really really want to lose 10 full pounds this month!!!!!

The most annoying thing to me in the world? Hmm. There are a few. 1 - The American style of food. Huge amounts of sodium, ridiculous portion sizes, tons of chemicals. Want to eat without all that? You can buy organic but it costs 2 or 3 times as much. Some of the things that we allow in our food are not even legal in other…

In all honesty the way in which you are writing is coming off as very pretentious. Essentially you're first delineating that you have a very difficult amount of coursework but are still able to care for your children. Good, I'm glad your kids are well taken care of. That doesn't mean that everyone who doesn't have what you…

^And that too.

Except for you though, right? America is full of lazy entitled crybabies, except for you. You're the 1 American who is hard working and never complains (aside from what you're complaining about in this post). I'm sorry - I don't usually like to call individuals out for their statements but I had to in this case. Don't make…

Congratulations to all on making this the thread which has made me the angriest of any thread I've ever read on MFP. I'm not going to pretend I'm a political and socio-economic expert like some of the people here who have posted seem to be. I'm just going to say that I am more than greatly disturbed about the following…

=] 1) Your outlook on life in general: A Box Full of Sharp Objects - The Used 2) How you feel about your general health: Guilty Pleasure - Cobra Starship 3) How you feel about excercise: What If - Coldplay 4) How you feel about eating right: You Were Meant for Me - Arthur Rosebery 5) How you feel about your future: It's A…

You do this: [ img] then put the URL of the image here [ /img] I added a space between the first bracket but delete them and it will work! =] Let me know if you need any help

Yeah, I am really only concerned about calories, sodium, & water. I find that when those 3 are in check, everything else is pretty good as well..

Hmm. Well I don't have a husband or a child (at least not yet haha) but I have parents, a sister, and I'll share pictures of my little maniac dog Brody & my boyfriend Jesse who I have been with for 4.5 years =] Here is me & my sister (who I don't really look like haha) and our dog & Here's me and my boyfriend! =]
