I do my workout in the basement, helps with the distractions and it's cooler down there too! I just started Alpha on Wednesday... my sister and I are sharing the set so I did cardio wednesday and speed on thursday, skipped Friday (due to lack of having a disc, lol) and did total body circuit today which was CRAZY compared…

I'm excited to have an accountability partner as well!

Does your gym offer cardio classes? I know last January when I got the courage to go to a cardio class, that changed my workouts ENTIRELY! It has done wonders for my metabolism, weight loss, and self image. I highly recommend a class-like setting if you're able to, I have met so many people, and made great friends. I was…

Oh my gosh, this is so wild, I was literally JUST reading your story on AOL! It's so weird that I would stumble onto this post HERE! So great to read your story, and that "dieting" isn't a cuss word. It really is ALL about moderation. You don't have to starve yourself, or go to the gym 7 days a week, twice a day. Thank you…

"Yeah, I think I'll get a salad, I had a pretty heavy lunch so better go lighter...... (waiter approaches) Ah, yes may I please have the Crispy Chicken salad, dinner size, with extra ranch dressing, and an extra breadstick with that please." Yep, lol.... but dang it's yummy. My husband and I will make some nice home made…

:laugh: I laughed SO hard!! I am the same way about Facebook, it's so mainstream now, and I'm friends with all my family, I don't feel comfortable at all getting on there and venting about how I feel about myself, because people would think I'm looking for a pity party, but here, people understand the struggles of the ups…

I dont have a HRM :sad: but I average between 350-400 cals burned on the eliptical (per the machine's calculations) and mfp says it's 377 per 30 mins on elliptical.... so i say that's close enough for me....

I looked at your pics on your profile, and if my husband worked with your husband I wouldn't want him ogling you, lol... that's what he would be doing!! You're absolutely beautiful! I remember going through a phase when my self esteem was very low, and I was constantly under the suspicion that my husband was cheating.…

I've plateaued plenty of times, and each time i've tried some new cardio (just recently started running, ew... but it's working!) and i've upped my calories. I'm up to ~1800 cals a day now while doing insanity and c25k. Good luck, hope you find something that works for you!

I smile much more frequently because I'm more confident!

Every morning after I pee... I don't record my weight on here everyday though... MFP weigh in is Mondays... keeps me accountable through the weekend!

Honestly nothing is going to give you the dopamine you'll get from a mcd's double cheeseburger... so let's just get THAT outta the way... lol What do you have at your disposal? Some clean protein might satisfy you... maybe not the craving but the hunger, anyway, and you won't feel so guilty. I brought a burger for my…

my husband and i just started insanity a few weeks ago, love it :) and anything jillian michaels, cant go wrong there

I haven't heard any reviews either way to be honest. I'm sure if you use it the way it's intended to be used it could have some great results.... personally I find it more humerous, lol... I wouldn't be able to use it just becaues I'd be giggling. I do seem to remember using one somewhere, and after about 40 seconds I…

I think it looks awesome! I get really self concious in leggings and stuff, those are just for "at home" lol... god blessed me with the child bearing hips, so until I slim the booty down a bit those are for the house only, lol.... You're rocking that shirt and the pants... do it, girl!

Within the last 2 weeks someone came up to me and said "oh my gosh, if I hadn't heard you speak I wouldn't have recognized you! What is your secret?!" I replied by laughing and saying "diet and excercise" and she seemed disappointed and said... and I quote "Well, that's not what I wanted to hear!" lol.... Another was…

I'm a big "I need something sweet after a long day at work".... I've recently been eating on fat free cottage cheese with fresh fruit and that seems to keep the sweet tooth at bay... I LOVE the idea above about the chocolate bananas... yum!!

Hey, let's do it!! CW: 173 GW: 153 My ultimate goal weight is anything under 155... anything under that is a miracle! I've posted on my profile that my new goal is to hit my ultimate goal weight by my 25th bday which is the end of January. If I'm not able to hit this NUMERIC goal by Christmas, I won't be devastated. I…

Fortunately for me I guess... I'm the only one saying things that negative. Mostly the comments from old "fat" pictures is more along the lines of "wow, you've worked your butt off... literally" or something like "wow, I didn't realize how much of a transformation it has been for you". I'm usually the only one saying…

here are a few ideas that I frequent in the morning: Kashi go lean cereal (200 cals per cup) skim milk (about 45 calories per 1/2 cup) fresh fruit and cottage cheese whole grain toast, peanut butter, and some fresh fruit if you use protein I'd recommend a smoothie or protein pancake (pancake is 1 egg, 2 egg whites, scoop…

Just like me you were not blessed to be one of those women who's skin elasticity is magical and they dont get one single stretch mark. *****es... lol. I had my son 3 years ago and I gained over 50 lbs during my pregnancy, and didnt get stretch marks until about 35 weeks (for a little while I thought I was going to get…

we buy the ortega "40% less sodium" packs... they're much better... more of a spice-y taste.... and the "cheddar taco" seasoning is pretty good

I also have a desk job, some tips: -pack all your mealsm this is very time consuming but will really keep you accountable because you're not going to want to eat some other crap because you've spent all the time working on your dinner... -snacks I use include: bell peppers, celery, sugar snap peas, snow peas, veggie…
