I have a terrible sweet tooth too. I don't keep any Ice cream, cookies, desserts, chocolate, etc. in my house at all because I have NO SELF CONTROL. That being said, since I have removed it all from my house, I've really cracked down on my sugar intake, and I've found that I don't crave it anymore. My Mother in law left…

"I just got Sick Puppy on my kindle to give it a try. I also like historical fiction. I really liked Ken Follett's books and Bernard Cromwell is pretty good too. " I think you'll like sick puppy! I'm in the middle of Basket Case right now, and it's very entertaining. I'll definitely look into Ken Follett and Bernard…

The girl with the dragon tattoo series was great. The hunger games trilogy was great too. I've recently been reading Carl Hiaasen. His characters are HILARIOUS. Sick Puppy was great and now I'm reading Basket Case. I was on a vampire book rampage for a while after I read the twilight saga (3 times), then I read the sookie…

Monday weigh in: CW=135

Vegetarian here. Haven't touched meat in 15 years. I was back and forth vegan for a while in college, but having kids now I'll just stick with vegetarian. Glad to know there are other veggies out there! Feel free to add me!

I've been home sick with 2 sick kids, so I missed BOTH my runs this week. I'm going totally stir crazy. I did get to do my pilates DVD today, so at least I got moving. Going to try and get a run in on Sunday if my hubby gets home from work in time.

I second what Regina said about frozen vegetables. They are flash frozen a the peak of freshness, and this causes them to retain a lot of nutrients. The vegetables in the produce section of the grocery store are many times old, or picked before they are fully ripe so they can ripen on the truck across country or wherever…

I usually just use honey, but I love some of the other ideas on here! I'm going to try and find a low sugar vanilla protein powder! Sounds great! I buy the fage 0% that comes with the fruit mix in on the side, it is delicious, but has about 16g sugar! I love all the sugarless options on this thread! Thanks for starting it!

I'v decided to officially register for the OC half marathon. It isn't until May, but I want to build up a solid running routine to prepare myself for the training program will start in January. I've wanted to run a half marathon for about a year ad a half,so it feels good to finally buckle down an register!

I agree 100% with the Couch to 5k suggestion!!! Great program!!!!!

Sorry I didn't post sooner, this is my first challenge group, and I couldn't find it, Lol. I promise to be more active now that I know where you folks are! I'm super excited for this! I'd love to be a size 6 by christmas, and I think if I can hit my weight loss goals I will be! I have such a hard time during the holidays,…

I haven't eaten meat in 15 years! Usually the vegetarian foods at restaurants are healthier. Boca burders are great, I have one for lunch almost every day. My typical lunch is a boga burger on a sandwich thin, with hummus avocado and tomato. about 400 calories and super filling!

I'm in! I have a super cute costume I bought on clearance last year for $5 even though it was an xs. If I can lose a little weight and hit my goal by Halloween I actually might be able to squeeze into it! Lol.

Please count me in!!!! I want to reach my goal weight by Christmas and NOT GAIN any through the holidays! CW: 138 GW: 125 NSV: Strech my long run distance to 10miles. I'm at 8 miles right now. If I can run a 10 miler by Christmas, I'm going to register for a half marathon. edited to add GW

Heather- When I started running I did the cuch to 5k program. It starts off with very reasonable walk/run intervals, and you work your way up to running. I think it is a grat way to start, and you'll notice that somewhere along the road, you go from dreading your runs, to wishing you could keep going, or run more often!

I'll join! My goals are to cut back on sugar. I am always going over my sugar limit. Not to cheat or snack when I'm bored. I plan on redirecting myself. Every time I head toward the pantry, I'm going to clean something in my house instead. Hopefully my house and I will both benefit! As for weight loss, I hope to stay at my…

I use the ipod on my iPhone, and I just put it on speaker, so I don't deal with earplugs at all. I wear my iPhone on my armband, and put it in upsideown (so the speakers are aimed toward my head.) This has worked out really well for me.... just something to try if you have that option on your mp3 player.

Hey, Cali girl, like me! I'm considering the OC half. It's not until may though! I celebrated my birthday last week with my longest run yet! 8.3 miles! I started running about 2 years ago. My dad is a runner too. I'm totally addicted, lol. Add me!!! I'm new here!

Hi everyone! I'm new here. I usally just use the app on my iPhone, and just discovered the actual website. What a great support community! I wish I would have come on here sooner! Anyway, I'm 5'5" I started using my fitness pal when I became serious about losing the baby weight (my "baby" is almost 3... eek!) SW-158 CW-138…
