"Muscle Versus Fat Pound-for-pound, muscle takes up less space than fat. So, as you gain muscle and lose fat, your scale numbers may not change, but your body sure does. Muscle is composed of healthy, metabolically active tissue that appears lean and smooth. Although fat weighs the same, it takes up more space and gives…

Thanks, ladies! Lili61, I have the same issue. I bought some pants from Walmart and they started off fitting, as time passed, they were almost falling :-(

2nd time I've heard about this today. I'll be getting my Google on.

Lol!!!! I liked cardio better when it was warm/hot and outside. This hampster thing is killing me, but it's freezing outside.

Yeah. I lift. But, I go in thinking...I'm just going to work the legs and end up doing a full body because I actually enjoy it. I'm sure that doesn't cause me any harm either.

Height: 5'4" Age/Gender: 28 / Female Highest weight- 305 lbs ... 325lbs (pregnant) Current Weight- 255 lbs Lowest weight- 205-210 in college Goal weigh- 175-180lbs

Count me in. 1000 Activity Minutes Mon: Tues: Wed: Thurs: Fri: Sat: Sun: Mins done:/Mins left: 1000

I need a motivator, inspiration, etc to keep me focused. It's been so hard. I'm late but I want to join you all in the challenges...

bumping for later. im always looking for grocery store ideas.

I'm late on this challenge but I'd started right after the Super Bowl. Today...I complete L1 D10. i never did my thigh and calf muscles so I think I'm going to do those tomorrow morning before I go any further... Anyone adding in any additional workouts with the 30DS?

I started at 305...I'm (finally) down to 260 Hoping, working, praying to be down 30 more lbs by July for my 3rd year anniversary

*taking notes* loving the tips...keep em coming!

I was thinking of an adult-only spot. Our infant says we deserve a break. lol.

That's when we're going...for our anniversary. *googles* Hedonism

But.... I'm all for thoughtfullness and sentimental value type of things. Love letters. Something that reminded you of me... Hell...Give me a day off my feet because you've noticed I've been tired. #shrugs lol

I say show your wife you created this forum. It shows how much effort you put into V-Day. :-)

I prefer to workout alone. I have a husband, an 8 month old, school (3 classes), work (full-time)....i don't need the complication of another person's schedule to deter me from working out all together. I feel like I focus better alone too. Just me and my ipod...we can go miles! lol

Great job! Being that I started at 305...this is definitely inspiring.

I am a month behind but, January was used to correct the wrongs of December. lol. SW: 305.0 CW: 260.0 GW: 230.0 (By June 21st) Ultimate goal: 193...then I can figure where I want to go from there. Non-scale victories I would like to experience before June 21, 2013 1. To successfully complete a workout program (I have…

I'm with you on this. Level 1...day 2 today!

My husband and I met on MySpace. A string of friendly conversations started a great friendship. At first, I felt a little awkward about it. I would just say we met each other hanging out. We hung out around some of the same places ... with a few degrees of separation ... it wasn't impossible. So, I never really dealt with…

When I found out Chick-fil-a meant "Chick/chicken fillet." lmao. Still cracks me up.

Work, school, infant...sometimes it's a little easier to just grab a smart one and go. generally, i don't go over on sodium levels but boy is it discouraging to see the red when i do. i don't have any medical issues and i drink a gallon a day so i don't really stress it unless i hit a plateau...it's how i always get over…

I'm 5'4 and 3/4" (yes every bit counts. lol), 260 and a size 18/20. The day I get into a 14. I may attempt to do cartwheelS! lol

Fun ... maybe a little rebel ... friendly I crossed clique lines. And it was all fun and games...til I got pissed. lol.

Look at THOSE curves!!! Congrats!!! I'm happy for you!! It's always to see that those home workouts and MFP work!

I mind works like the Final Destination movie. If I ride by a gas truck, I think of it exploding. If I'm on an elevator, I think of it failing. When I eat in the car, I assume others think I'm a binge eating bulemic and want to admit me to an instituation. lol. Despite that, I live a happy life and am a self-proclaimed…

Yes! I used to run into this a lot at Walmart, therefore, I don't go. I may pay a little more for where I shop but it definitely includes the experience. -I hate feeling rushed. I've been trying to try new things from produce lately. I can't see what's avaiable, if you're trying to run me over for tomatoes. -People who…
