Nope, we just have regular water fountains. Some of them aren't too great either, especially in the building most of my classes are in. The water on the 3rd and 4th floor comes out cloudy (ewww).

I've already started getting up earlier for my radio show, so I am hoping I won't be too exhausted when I add classes on to everything. During the break I at least got naps in! I am glad to have access to the recreation center again. I miss the elliptical trainer!

Teehee. Glad to see the Cliffs Notes version of my novel there at the end with positivity!

I forgot to post here! My starting weight was 233.8 on January 1, 9am!

Well, I failed this challenge. But! I am doing better today, the last few days were just very hectic. I am ready for next week's challenge, though!

Why would I want to be "skinny"? I don't. I want to be healthy. I want to live a long life with my boyfriend/future husband (we know we're going there someday soon!). I want to raise healthy children who live long lives and give me grandchildren that I am able to be around to enjoy. Maybe even GREAT grandchildren (my great…

I think I'm going to post this quote on my wall when I reach goal. So positive and awesome!

I forgot about the makeup! I used the Sally Hansen airbrush makeup for legs and it works quite well. Gives you a little bit of color/evens out everything and makes your legs look nice but naturally so. VERY good idea :D

Great, I need to get back to my "water schedule". I did so well before the holidays!

As for the OP: I typically embrace my paleness, but I do have a few Airbrush tans saved up at one of the local places that I researched and chose due to their great reviews because sometimes you want a little bit of a sunkissed look. I know they use the higher-quality spray stuff, their airbrushers are very good (and very…

Completely false information. One of my oldest friends got skin cancer in her teens due to using tanning booths. :|

I had never thought to do the maintenance thing every so often. My sister and I are starting a new "competition" from Jan-March, I guess I'll do maintenance for a while before we start up the next one. Seems like a good idea.

:)

Pretty much, yep. Of course, you could change your activity level in your profile and it'd probably tell you exactly what you need :)

Preach!

Oh yay! I am happy to see another teacher-in-training with similar interests! Sometimes in my classes I feel so... odd, even though everywhere else I go I'm not even the most modified person by any means.

I'm Sandra! 25 Female RP? YES! LARP? I haven't yet, but I'd sure as heck go for it! I have 105 pounds to go. I've lost 25 pounds since I started w/Nutrisystem in May but now I'm doing this my way :) Annnnd I've not been gaming so much since school and work has taken over my life, but you better believe this summer I'll be…

I don't understand people freaking out over this stuff. I don't know if I would try it... depends on the smell of it (smell sensitive)... but I'm just not that squicky I guess. I just realized it's been a while since I've eaten any of our 6 legged friends. I kind of like dried ants, grasshoppers, and grubs :) I also…

Very good advice! I'm definitely in this same thought process. I also just plan ahead, usually I know what my family is going to have (they bring the same thing every year it seems) and I just decide what it is I really want. Then I have enough to satisfy my cravings and move on. I also will exercise so I have "wiggle"…

A+

YEP!

Man, I cannot begin to tell you the difference I notice in my body/weightloss when I sleep enough. IT IS SO MUCH BETTER.

University of Houston (College of Education) I actually kind of love it. We also have a great rec center. I just wish we had healthier food options that weren't ridiculously expensive.

Well, for my own asthetic I just want to be slim and toned. I tend to bulk muscle though, so I wouldn't be surprised if I end up with thighs of doom. It's just what happens in my family. I am not sure if I'd get a 6-pack, but if that's how I end up by maintaining a healthy diet and getting regular exercise, I won't…

I absolutely LOVE the way you are getting your daughter involved with your work outs! You give some awesome advice here :)

They're still young enough to go outside and play. That is the best thing for children that age, really.

You look great! Way to go!

You look great! I am also a fan of your style :) Way to go!

I feel weird because I don't appear to gain weight around TOM, but I am VERY religious about my water consumption and I try not to consume too much sodium. I also drink enough coffee that I probably get rid of most of my water weight through that :\

I picked mine because it was at about the middle of my "healthy" BMI weight range, but we will see how I feel at the top of the range/what size I am there and figure out if that's still my goal :)
