Well put!!

It's a big goal and it's totally do-able! Try not to focus on just the whole 100lbs. - break it in to smaller benchmark goals and celebrate each one! I'm on a similar quest - I want to get to 130. I was 210 in October. I'm btwn 170-175 now! (stupid scale is broken at home :)) It feels SO friggin awesome and I NEVER thought…

I don't stress about "cheating" or even make it feel like a bad thing. Like others have said, if it's your life-style change, then you can happily eat something a little more indulgent once in a while, and just ENJOY it, without feeling like there's now a penance to pay. Especially when it comes to having a few beers out…

Or, have you been sweating more with working out and maybe the fabrics you're wearing are bugging your skin? And do you use antiperspirant/ deodorant with aluminum in it? That clogs your pores up and if it's built up enough in your body I think it can cause skin issues. Totally talk to a dermatologist though if switching…

I wish beachbody would post a PDF of the calendar so I can actually use it for tracking my workouts without using up the one it comes with! Have you all just made photocopies? Or do you not even really need to track it once you get in the thick of it?

I'll keep watching this thread to see if anyone knows! :) I wonder if the company's website lists things like that. My DVDs are at least -next to- the DVD player, but at least I've been walking a treadmill lately. I would like to actually try the whole program tho, since I bought the dang thing. :) Have you all been liking…

Awesome, yea I should look into that. Thanks everyone for your input - I'll search for 'walking' instead. Aren't we to the point in technology where my iPhone can just figure out my stats by telepathy? :)

Thx for the recipe link!

That sounds really good. I've been wondering how I can get my granola fix w/o eating it with regular yogurt. Thx for the tip!

Thanks for the tip Shannon!

To help motivate, I've been listening to my guiltiest of pleasures in terms of pop songs: Katy Perry and Snoop Dogg "California Gurls," Lady Gaga w. Beyonce "Telephone," and Avril Lavigne "Girlfriend"! but also something like "Secret Plans" by Eagles of Death Metal, David Bowie "Golden Years", Grateful Dead "Shakedown…

*sigh* one day we will add a ps3 to our family of gaming consoles. till then, let us know how the game is! we're slowly looking into something for the 360.

Sounds awesome! And beers are definitely deserved after snow shoveling. Really outdoor yard work in general. :)

We're having breakfast for dinner :) It might not be calorie friendly tonight! Bacon chocolate chip pancakes (from a mix we got for Christmas), scrambled eggs with a lil S+P, roasted brussel sprouts tossed with caramelized onion and maybe a nip of Lemonciello (lemon liqueur) to warm us up. It's snowing and being icy…

At the moment, leeks!! Roasted in the oven with salt & pepper. DELICIOUS.

Sounds yummy! We're going to start making preserves so I'll have to suggest the tomatoes to my boyfriend, the executive chef in this operation. :)

Mmm sounds awesome! I may make some red and white varieties and give 'em to my parents for the holidays. Hooray for solutions for gifts when you're broke! :) Thanks for the recipe!

I eat low-fat, no salt added cottage cheese with raspberry jam with added fresh berries when they're on sale. Mmm, such a yummy way to have something sweet that's packed with unheard-of amounts of protein! "Friendship" is the brand that has a no-salt added variety. Some of the other regular brands taste too salty to me. :)…

Good job you! NIce proverbial loose-waistband pic ;) Hopefully I'll have some of those soon too! Cheers

I'm gonna lookup the critic rating for the new Zumba game. Usually 'gamespot.com' has reliable reviews. Now I just need to make room for the TV in my bedroom so I don't have to workout in front of my boyfriend and our new roommate! :)

Shorts can be scary. But congrads on feeling confident to wear them again! That's huge!! I'm getting there. Slowly. :)

Dude, same here - until using this program I had no idea what my caloric intake was a day. And talk about after a night out at the bar! HOLY CRAPPERS was I surprised!! Good luck and don't forget, we're all here for ya!

I'd talk to the landlord/front desk about it, then greet your downstairs neighbor and just mention it. I live on the second floor and the gentleman below us has never said anything about noise, and we play a lot of video games and watch movies with friends. :) But I'll have to start that relationship over in a couple of…
