Hello, my name is Jessica and I'm addicted to PEANUT BUTTER.

I'm single, but I'm definitely not doing this to find a significant other. I care more about myself than that.

I've woken up in a panic from dreams about losing control and binging. I've not actually done this, since I started my journey, but this used to be my binge "meal" of choice at McDonald's. Double quarter pounder w/onions & ketchup Large fry 20-piece nugget Snack wrap Large root beer Large chocolate shake... for dessert, of…

DRIPPING sweat after walking from the parking lot to my class on campus... (less than a quarter of a mile).

Running! Training for a 5k.

Your meals always do look delicious!

Uh, 24?

:) :) :)

^^ This + who cares what other people are doing, anyway? Aren't you there to work out?

MAKE A PLAN! If you're going to a restaurant, view the menu online in advance (when you're not hungry), pick something healthy (you can usually find the nutrition information online). Always know what youre going to eat before you get there. If it's a meal like Thai food, or Chinese, check the calories on MFP and plan…

I live in Bradford, MA. Feel free to add me!

This is a good idea. Chili with a lot of fillers like beans, peppers, etc... Or you could do a shepherds pie... It's not SUPER healthy, but it'll be filling.

Daily user, logger, supporter, motivator! Feel free to add me. :)

AWESOME!!

Thank you, everyone! I feel great! I still have a way to go, but I've come so far that I had to post! I wish nothing but the best and success to you all!

I couldn't agree more!

I don't know... I think I'm the only non-fan of the C25k program. I was just messaging a friend about this. I don't think the C25k program was created for everyone. When I started running, I weighed about 275 and to push me to get to a 20-30 minute minute 5k in 9 weeks? It's unrealistic and created a false sense of hope…

Are you serious? ABSOLUTELY NOT. NO WAY.

"He's Just Not That Into You" (the book and the movie) has a GREAT section called "If He's Not Marrying You..." I wouldn't do anything until you've watched/read that. Books and movies solve all of life's great challenges. Good luck.

OY... I really didn't want to get involved, but here's my opinion: no matter the excuses you make for the guy, "He's just being honest," "I know he means well," "He can't help but be disgusted by me," IF HE'S MAKING YOU FEEL BADLY ABOUT YOURSELF, HE'S NOT THE RIGHT PERSON FOR YOU. A real loving man will love you, 100%…

Same here! New year, new goals... Gotta stick with it. :)

I try to log everything (obviously, sometimes I have off days) because little bit adds up!

I'm in! I was so close to making it an entire year without fast food... but during the last month of the year, I had McDonald's THREE times... yuck... No more.

I'm about 45 down, 50 to go. :)

296.

Not whine about not feeling as accomplished as I thought I was going to at this point. Instead, I'm making new goals, prepping for my first 5k, and looking forward to all the exciting things 2012 will bring!

Worst ever.

I'm tall (5'7"), and have thunder thighs and huge hips, so my legs don't move very quickly. I started walking at 3.2, and jogging at 4.0. Now I briskly walk at 3.8 and jog comfortably at 4.5. These are the varying speeds I do my 5k training on, unless I'm completely winded, in which case I'll walk at 3.5 to catch my breath…

I'm an undergrad right now, but I'm starting grad school for my MSW in September!
