Started on Monday, tonight is my 2nd workout. Really excited about it. Loved everything I read in the book. Ready to get back to throwing around some weights. I feel so much better after I lift, it's amazing! :)

Don't hold back too much. If you can just eat a couple little pieces, it's really not that bad. If you keep your body from what it craves all the time, you'll end up binging big time. I usually have 1-2 squares of dark chocolate and that tides me over. But I also work that into my daily calories and I workout. It's not a…

Just picked up Gears of War 3 (and a new tv ;) ), looking forward to getting into that this weekend. Probably pick up Halo Reach again too. But I always play with my best friend who lives across the country so it's all about the commentary. Other than that I haven't played much lately. Spent waaaaay too many hours on WoW…

Rooting your android phone is the best way to get better battery life w/out having to get the ginormous extended battery. The HTC Thunderbolt has one of the absolute worst battery lives. Rooted I get 15-20 hrs now :) YAY for being a geek!

He's a terror ... we swear he's acting like he's 5 even though he's 11 ... it's crazy. Lots of attitude, tantrums, general boy issues, he's not very fun ... LOL He def has his good days, I'm hoping at least as he gets a little older that it'll be less of an issue , but I'm not 100% about that. I know too many people w/…

My gf has an 11 yr old boy. He doesn't care at all that we're together. IT is a whole different life though that's for sure. :)

Don't thinK I ever introduced myself. Alix/Lex, 31, currently around 191 (haven't weighed in a while). Live in Cali. Just recently finished LiveFit and currently on a week break ... starting NROL4W on Sunday Jan 15th and can't wait. Really excited to be doing some more heavy lifting. Love it. My diet has been pretty clean…

Has anyone used indoor soccer shoes for "flat" shoes? Chucks don't agree with my feet, I have a pair and I think they cause more pain in the end then good (and if I go a size up they are just too big!) :( I can try them again, maybe my feet aren't as "fat" now ... LOL I've been using my running shoes up til this point, but…

Hey all! I'm starting Jan 15-16th more than likely. I'm in my last week of my current program and I want to take a week off inbetween programs to recoup a little. Almost done with the book, can't wait to start the new workouts. Good luck everyone! :)

Updated weight to 191.0 - still have to pick up a scale.

Starting: Jan 2 Weight: I'll update tonight :) Water: aiming for 12cups a day Workouts: looking for a 5-10 up on most exercises. This should be pretty fun :) I'll have to give my weight after tonight as I haven't been to the gym since Thurs and I don't have a scale at home yet (in the process of getting one - gotta love…

was 190.8 last night, best I can do til Tomorrow (don't have a scale at home and I've got a much needed day off)

I'm in my last week of Jamie Easons LiveFit program - and I loved it. Definitely gave me that kick in the *kitten* I needed to get back into the gym. Definitely feel better about everything and I found that I love lifting weights. Just more motivation to get to the gym. I was more happy about not gaining weight over the…

I'm loving Asics right now. They are super comfortable and the first shoes I could run in w/out discomfort :)

Definitely, it's all about being accountable for what you do. It's ok if you go over sometimes though, being too strict is going to lead to massive bingeing and that'll be even worse. Just get back on course the next day and pretend like it never happened :) We all have those days.

Just use the leg press machine and do calf presses, it's the same basic exercise. We don't have one at my gym but I looked at it and laughed when I saw it. As long as you are getting a good calf workout you are good :)

Cool new Adidas jacket from the gf, and new sunglasses when I actually go and pick them out! :) Lots of gift cards from my parents and extended fam. Same as most years, but that's how I like it. Now I can buy some new shoes and get some things that I want and people don't have to worry about getting it for me :)

For Friday 12/23 - 191.6 (down again) - this carb cycling thing is actually working! But I do miss my carbs ;) Mon 12/16 - 191.6, so glad I didn't gain! :) Proud of myself.

I weighed myself Friday and yesterday and weighed exactly the same! Whaaa? Apparently I did better with my eating over the holidays than I thought. Looking back I didn't eat a whole lot. Not the healthiest foods, but I didn't pig out either. Probably too many cookies, but I burned those yesterday! Since I had the day off.

Great idea DJ! Would love to see more people stick around! But it's true if you are not ready you are not ready. I've been there before. Forcing yourself to do something you don't want to just results in frustration. But there's nothing wrong with being here and getting advice and ideas for when you are ready! :) Sometimes…

Nice cant wait to try this! Have that ice cream maker too!

I was @ that one too, damn good show! :) Saw Dave at Farm Aid in 2001 - for my 21st that was pretty sweet. I think July 8 2006 - Fenway Park! :) My favorite ballpark and one great show. I'm sure there are others, I just can't remember everything!

Grey Street - will always be my go to ( I don't know why) Dancing Nancies Ants Marching Crush Really its hard to choose they all have their place :)

Just saw this pop up on the side and had to join. Love DMB! :) Hi I'm Alix/Lex, 31, been a DMB fan since 92-93 (I dunno along time ago). Have no idea how many shows I've been to, but I know I haven't been to any in the past couple years :( Makes me a little sad, but life gets busy. And I miss my old Hartford, CT shows.…

Beautiful family! :) That little one is gonna be trouble! ;) Congrats on all the weight loss too!

Got this from a friend, he said that it should work for anyone that wants it. http://www.fitocracy.com/register/?invite_code=JTG48 I used it earlier this week, see if it works for you guys too. No idea how long it takes to get an actual code sent to you. The site is pretty cool :)

Everyone loves a gift card. Or maybe get one to a local sporting goods place, restaurant, something. Some place that she's mentioned she likes. Doesn't have to be anything too big, as long as you put thought into it :)

Still going strong. Backed down from being a judge for our "Bake Off" at work today. Sorry but I'm eating healthy, that's just how it is. Looking forward to getting to gym tonight. Being in the office is making me antsy! Our house is 2 completely different spectrum's, but I'm ok with that. I want everyone to be happy and I…

Variation on fried rice. Chop up all the veggies, the beef, even the egg if you want. That's usually pretty good. Add some spices for an extra kick. Grilled Veggies/Beef :)

Good thing Steam is blocked at work. I forgot to check last night when I got home too!
