I'm giving up soda, fast food, and chips. The chips will be the hardest part! Im also giving up excuses!!!!!!

When I'm at the gym, there's a woman, probably at least 10 years older then me, who STARES at me the entire time. If she's not staring directly at me, she's staring at my reflection in the glass. And it's not a nice stare either! At first I was like "no way b*tch, stop staring at me!" but now I'm like "wellllll I'm awesome…

When I bought my new sneakers, I got a whole bunch of free samples with it. I got a "liquid to powder anti-chaff" sample. I haven't tried it, but I'm sure you can get it at a sporting goods store around you. Also, what about trying those Under Armour boxers? They're tight so that might help too?

I truly don't measure myself, because I'm not one to care about the numbers. I can see the difference in my body as it's changing. My pants are a size 6 (But yesterday my boyfriend said to me "we either need to get you a good belt or some new jeans" woohoo!) and my shirts are usually a size medium. I have a bigger chest…

Good Luck! I'm out of college already, but I keep PRETENDING I am going on Spring Break so I can get toned up by then! *Wishful thinking*

I wish you the best of luck!!!! PA in is June. I didn't think I'd be ready in time but I'm killing running lately so I'm getting SO pumped!

www.warriordash.com a 3.5 mile run with obstacles. :)

If you start exercising, you may not even end up losing the weight. I've lost about 7.5 pounds and was really frustrated because I couldn't lose more, but my clothes are loose on me now and my body is toning up very nicely. I don't care about the scale any more.

no one? really?

I'm doing it this year in Pennsylvania. I am focusing on distance running and lifting weights. I feel like the obstacles won't be as much of a challenge. Feel free to add me on here if you'd like and we can help motivate eachother!

I LOVE Target. I got some very pretty (and cute!) work clothes from there and my boss (who is so snooty, she'd "never" shop at Target) actually commented on them and said how nice they were. Target seems to be hit or miss, but they always have nice dress pants and dresses there.

I walk at 3.7mph and run at 7mph. I used to be a runner and lost it in college when I got lazy and had no time to work out so I'm not only getting my resistance back to running distance, but trying to get my speed back. I wouldn't suggest running at 7mph if you weren't previously a runner.

No, I'm from the Wilkes Barre area.

me too!

Does 89 count? :-P

I prelog when I first get to the gym so I can have my work out planned out. If for some reason I don't do one part of the work out, I delete it off my post. I do not leave it in my diary. It seems to work as a motivation while I'm at the gym. I'll be on the elliptical and be like "well... I'm kinda tired.... BUT I already…

1) My dog snuggled into me in bed instead of hopping right on top of me. 2) I woke up totally motivated to do anything and everything. 3) It will be 50 degrees and sunny here tomorrow, which means long puppy walks! 4) My boyfriend is finally home from his trip. :)

Can you try a stationary bike? Or even leg machines at the gym? Walking will probably hurt for a bit so wait on that until you're feeling better. I know how the broken collar bone feels, it's awful. I hope you feel better real soon. :)

You look absolutely amazing! Definitely inspirational! I am looking for similar results..

We can be friends! I love trying to help motivate and would love a new friend or two on here. Feel free to add me if you'd like! And Congrats on the upcoming wedding! So exciting :)

I wish I could figure it out too. I had an app on my phone that "calculated" it, and one run said it was like 29 miles long which was impossible haha. If anyone has a good answer, help us!

do what you can. don't push too hard so you're not in pain. doing week 1 is more then what the bums on the couch are doing! <3

Plus she's super hot!

WHAAAAAAAAAAAT! That sounds SO amazing. I will be using it tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome! Loved hearing all these responses! I want to try some of your workout songs out soon!

Based from your profile picture, you don't have much, if any, to lose. You're probably gaining muscle.

You look great! Awesome job. Also! Knoebles shirt?! Where are you from!!? I live like 40 minutes away from there!

Be happy you're not sore! As long as you're seeing those results, be happy with what you're doing! The first week I started lifting, my arms were so sore I could barely lift a hair dryer, and I'm a hair stylist so that work week sucked!

I was told to take your weigh, divide it in half and the number you get is how many ounces you should drink. (ex, weighing 100 pounds = 50 ounces of water) I'd like the real answer to this!

AMAZING. You both look so great! Very inspiring :) You should also be a writer, if you're not, because the way you wrote that was awesome!
