Thank you so much!

I also got a food scale it helps so much! I can't believe how small serving sizes really are.

Had a big problem when I didn't bring any snacks for morning or afternoon hunger pains. I would eat junk sitting around the office like candy and gummy bears. Started doing some planning and so far it is helping.

I have done zumba for almost 2 years. I love the class! it's so fun and a great way to let loose and it burns lots of calories.

Trying to get on track. I need buddies. :)

I just got his book today. Was hoping to have more numbers as to how many carbs there are for high/low days. I don't want to overdo or undereat. Is this in the book, didn't seem so after i skimmed through it for now.

I am falling off track and need to get back on! Need some great new buddies to go with the awesome ones I already have! The more the merrier.

Colonoscopies are so important! I have UC. It has been four years since my first and only one. Scheduled to go in again on Oct 30th as I have been very anemic and they think something is going on inside bleeding or what not. Hope and pray I don't have colon cancer, but it is always a possibility.

When you are in your exercise class and people sit there talking while the instructor is conducting her class. I find it incredibly rude. You are there to work. chat after class!!

Sometimes I push through soreness because for me, exercise actually alleviates the aches and pains caused by...exercise. I am doing a half marathon in 2 days. I plan to work out again tonight and take tomorrow off for the big day.

I have a polar ft4 and I would go with that.

I have the same weight loss goal and am 5'0 tall. Last 10 or so keep getting stuck at! need motivation! please add me. :D

I faced the same dilemma yesterday. I ended up having the chocolate cake and it was soooo good! I work hard everyday at staying healthy. I indulge when I want, but I get back on track as soon as possible. One piece of cake did not make me gain weight anymore than one day of exercise made me lose weight. It's a continuous…

To prove that having a chronic illness does not mean that it has to have me.

I took a body pump class and was sore for days. It was crazy! I might give it another try in the future, but for now, it was just too much for me.

I have a polar ft4. It has a chest strap that I wear under my clothes. I have used it for months now and actually feel naked without it during my workout! it is not uncomfortable at all and you forget it is there.

I eat back all of my exercise calories and try to Net at least 1200 a day. I'm 5'0 tall and my scale is being stubborn again. :)

Ok I think I sent requests or was requested by everyone in here!. If i missed you, send me a request. Thanks to all my new pals! The motivation is fabulous!

added you both. Thank you!

haha. Well, best of luck to you. Sounds like you will do much better than me!

Nope. I am doing the monument marathon in Nebraska.

I am doing my first half marathon as well on Oct 13. I got talked into it by my coworker and now I don't know what's going to happen. I do not have any training under my belt other than the fitness classes/walks I usually do several days a week. My goal is to finish. My time will suck, but I will finish. I would be…

Thanks! Look forward to it. :)

I have a polar ft4 as well. Got it about a month or so ago and love it. It has a comfortable chest strap and i really forget I'm even wearing it during my workouts. I don't leave home without it now.

If I want a treat, I will have one. I just work it into my daily calories.

Don't let anyone get you down! Sometimes in order to grow, we have to get out of our comfort zone. Weights used to scare me too, but now I'm taking a class entirely dedicated to it and am ready to move forward. Show them what you are made of! :)

I've been trying to lose 15 lbs for over 2 months. Cut off your leg or another limb. you can not safely lose that much weight in such little time.

If you can't move, then you need to give your body a rest for a day or two. It takes time to get into a new fitness routine. I still get sore and I have been exercising for years. I like to switch it up all the time.

Believe me it is faster to gain weight than lose it. I am a little more than 10 lbs away from my goal weight and it gets harder. I would love to lose 2 lbs a week and get their faster, but it is not to be. Aim for 1/2 lb to 1 lb a week. It's a healthier weight loss and it takes time, but it more apt to stay off that way.
