Think about why you are drinking. I know that the reason why you are drinking right now is to numb the pain of the accident. But do you always drink to numb something. If that is the case then there may be a problem. My husband's family are huge drinkers and I have to keep an eye on those things. I am a social drinker and…

I am contacting Microsoft as we speak to see when they are going to add more of the Fitness games like Zumba. I will let you know!!! =D

Feel free to add me. I am currently in a cast, but still am active on here every day.

Being prepared is the most important. Getting some Fiber One 90 calorie bars feel like a huge treat but are only 90 calories and you could take with you when you go to the movies, that is what I do. Also many of the frozen yogurt places have healthy options now. Top yours with the fresh fruit instead of the sugary options.…

Gamer here who runs a gaming site with her husband. I have also written three articles on our site about my fitness challenges. If you read them let me know by leaving a comment on the site. I would appreciate it. New articles go up every Friday.…

Oh no we want to have us join us

I have not had as much fresh fruits and veggies this week due to being tight on money until Tuesday. Then I am having hubby pick up some fruits and veggies for me. I have been craving them too. Been really good with my water though. At least 10 cups if not more each day.

Okay yesterday I didn't do so well eating wise. We went out to eat for lunch and then had Mac and Cheese for dinner. I stayed under in my calories but crap went in me. I also realized this morning that I have been eye balling my creamer going into my coffee and been putting much more than I thought. When I measured, man I…

1. I have kept my CPR and first aid licence current for the past 18 years (since I was 15). I have only had to perform CPR once. However, I stop at every accident if I am the first on scene and have had to use the first aid quite a bit. 2. My eyes change color according to my moods. Deep, deep green when I have extreme…

Okay so my cast comes off mid-July, July 16th to be exact. So I won't know exactly how much exercise I will be able to do but I need this kick in the *kitten*. 1. Drink 10 glasses of water a day. I have been getting lax on this and I am just sitting here at home so getting up to go to the bathroom is not an issue. 2.…

Yeah I had for gotten about Skinny Cow Ice Cream. It is like 100 to 120 calories per bar and they are soooooo good that it feels like you are totally cheating and you aren't. I find that if I find a water bottle that holds the equivalent to 3 cups of water and tell myself that I need to drink it at least 4 times during the…

I weigh myself every Tuesday and Friday but log only every Friday. However, for these past two weeks I can not truly log it due to this stupid cast. So as soon as the cast comes off I will weigh in the following morning.

Mine is open to friends. I am very honest as to what I eat and drink. I am currently unable to do much exercise due to a broken 5th metatarsal from Zumba. This happen 8 weeks ago but wasn't actually caught until 4 weeks ago, so it is taking longer to heal due to the fact that I walked on it for so long. So I am having to…

I can't wait to get back into Zumba. I just have to wait until I get this cast off of my foot. I broke the 5th metatarsal bone due to Zumba. Did to too vigorously. Be careful when you stomp your feet and make sure you have the right shoes for it. I have learned and will be getting insoles.

I sent a couple of you a friend's request. I am more than willing to help encourage any of you. I recently, 7 weeks ago, broke the 5th metatarsal bone in my foot and am currently laid up in a cast. I am busy finding other ways to get some sort of exercise in as I am not able to get up and dance or move around the house…

You can also use the load screens for a quick round of sit ups or push ups. Another thing that I found helpful, when I am playing Dance Central, is during the "free dance" section is to use that time for squats or jumping jacks or lunges. That way I am getting in some toning along with my cardio. I do the same thing with…

My husband and I run the video game website, The Married Gamers. I am also a 6th grade teacher who has taught for the last 14 years. I taught preschool for 5 years and then 6th grade for the last 9. At times, I can get sucked into eating in the cafeteria with the students. It is a great way to get to know the students on a…

I have found that when there is dialogue going on through a scene that I can listen to and not need to be actively watching, I will do jumping jacks or even have some weights near by and do some bicep curls. Right now, having my foot in a cast I am busy with strength exercises for my upper body and watching what I eat…

I have found that taking Non-fat unflavored individual Greek Yogurt, then adding whatever is your favorite dip mix to it ( just a teaspoon is all you need). Let is chill for a couple of hours. Cut up your favorite veggies and dip away. The Greek Yogurt can give you up to 12 grams of protein and only 100 calories and really…

[/quote] may I offer a suggestion? I started getting PLAIN greek yogurt, and sweetening it stevia and vanilla or adding fresh fruit. [/quote] I like this suggestion. I had never thought about doing this but this is a great idea. I have made my own dips for veggies using the individual PLAIN greek yogurt and then added a…

I make a game out of it. I love to have a little treat of like a sugar free jello or something like that and I don't allow myself to have that unless I have had at least half of my water for the day. That works. Also I drink two glasses of water when I take my daily vitamins. One to take them and one to make sure they go…

On Fitbit's website it says that they have partnering websites on the right. One is MFP. Link there

I would love to join in. This is my first challenge ever. This challenge would get me out of the 190's Friday, March 30th: 194 Friday, April 6th: Friday, April 13th: Friday, April 20th: Friday, April 27th:

All the work that you are doing at home has started your metabolism and that is what it is. Also you were conscious of what you were eating. You probably did not eat like you would have months ago. Don't worry about it. Just realize that it is what it is. When you are at home make sure you are keeping your net calories in…

As of yesterday I was at 4,592 of 7,000. That means I have 2408 left to burn by Sunday. I know that I will be able to do this. I am so excited.

So as of today I have burned 3508 of my 3500 that I had said I would burn. So now I am going to up it. Since we have until Sunday to get these calories in, I am going to go for another 3500. Yes I think I am insane. That means that if I can complete this that I will have burned a total of 7000 calories. So here you go: As…

I have PCOS as well and I know it hinders me as trying to lose weight.

I am in Love with GLEE. In fact there are 4 other people who watch it and Tweet about it on Twitter with me every Tuesday night. Terrible isn't it. This year loving Survivor as one of my co-worker's sister-in-law's is on it. Nina, the ex-LAPD officer. So we are getting an insight as to how they do things from him. It is…

That is great. Remember that it takes 21 days to make something a habit. We are here to encourage you. If you need some extra encouragement feel free to private message me and I am more than willing to do it for you. I have been exercising since January 15th and using this program for almost 30 days now.

I agree. I have been doing Dance Central 2 now for almost 2 months and at first I just didn't want to do it and now I have to do it for at least 30 minutes a day. Along with that, I am walking laps around the house in the early morning hours. I am a teacher and get up at 4:30 in the morning. That is way to early to walk…
