that is awesome!! congratulations and keep it up!

fantastic!!! great job and congratulations!!

i run. keeps my mind off of it and if i'm too weak to resist, well, i burned those calories off. ^_^

currently on book 5 of song of ice and fire (game of thrones series). it's getting intense!

great job; keep it up!! i think this monday was a fail for me..didn't log in anything monday and don't remember what i did. :( doh!! but i know i did 15 miles this week so that's that. :)

i started making that a habit and the deciding factor for different brands instead of the price. smarter choices in food means i don't have to camp out at the gym. :P

checked.

i love saying thank you. i really don't understand why people struggle with saying it...

man, i started out running 4mph. i can now walk at that speed, but it looks like i'm speed walking and i can't keep it up for very long. i have a short stride and a natural slow walking pace anyway, so i'm going to say it's ok. :P after a week 4mph did seem really slow and i bumped it up to 4.5mph. now i'm between 5 and…

oh man, this reminded me of junior high. i wasn't large in jhs, but i wasn't skinny either. for p.e. we had to do wrestling because my teacher didn't want to do gymnastics. i was paired with a girl that had about 30 lbs on me and i remember during the "final" which was wrestling in front of the class some jerk face said…

i put all of the candy/chocolate in my house into a bag and gave it to a friend to hide from me. i'm starting a 30 day no candy/chocolate thing because that is what i want to eat every freaking moment. it kills my calorie/fat/sugar intake for the day and that ticks me off which makes me eat more candy. *shudder* i would…

stomach, back and inner thighs. be gone already!! haha

i think i will. i fear once i stop doing this "routine" i'll gain the weight back. plus i like to the forums/message boards/etc and enjoy learning so why not?

haha, my goal is to find a man! the guys i'm attracted to aren't attracted to women my size and even though it's "what's inside that counts" i want what i want and will get it! haha. i buy a lot of workout clothes and workout shoes and that helps keep me motivated. i don't really have rewards set up because the success and…

yes!

i don't know why, but i get super happy when i see a very large person at the gym. i cheer for them inside and feel like a proud parent even though i don't know the person. it makes me happy seeing them make a change for the better and i view them differently then the large people i see buying tons of crap food at the…

i used to. i joined curves for that very reason, but it wasn't giving me what i needed (geared for older ladies). now i go to the gym with the attitude of "f you, i'm going to do what i need to do". i do my cardio upstairs and view the floor of the gym and realized there that i go to a very diverse gym and no one is an…

most of mine comes from my mom. she doesn't want me to come to her work place or introduce me to people because she's embarrassed of my size. every time i go home she just says "wow, you're so big" and then makes a crying face. there was one time in junior high i was eating a donut at church and a guy told me not to eat it…

that really sucks. sorry you have a sister like her.

i hate shallow people like that. why waste everyone's time? grrrrrr

horrible. all of those are horrible. sorry man. :(

sometimes my sessions last 2-3 hours, but i wouldn't say i'm active the entire time. usually i start out with treadmill/elliptical for an hour and then i hit the weights/trx. there is rest time between sets and i usually do three sets of everything. i do a rotation of core, upper body, and lower body but i do cardio…

challenge accepted!! so far: 1,125 minutes logged = 18.75 hours! *arm pump*

i remember a moment when i was flying to an audition and saw a guy request a seat belt extender and how i had to expand the seat belt all the way to buckle up. i once flew an entire flight without my seat belt buckled because i couldn't buckle it and was too embarrassed and ashamed to ask for an extender, so i just…

you look great and good for you!! way to grab the bull by the horns and keep it up!

good for you! every little bit counts and slow and steady always win the race. i don't think 7lbs in a month is a little at all so whatever you're doing keep it up! are you doing couch to 5k/how are you getting ready for that race? my first 5k is coming up in a month and i'm super excited. i already feel stronger so i know…

well said. i eat a lot of candy and in the back of my head i kep telling myself, cut back or you'll get diabetes. i don't want to get diabetes first to turn my life around hence i started my first day of thirty days free of candy and chocolate! i'm going to get the f up, put some work in, and keep the candy out!

i worked my butt off for a month and lost ZERO pounds but i lost a total of 8 inches, 2 of which were at my waist. this last month i lost 8 lbs and lost another 8 inches but only half an inch at the waist. weight loss sure is interesting!! as long as i'm losing something, that isn't my sanity, i'm ok haha. ps, love the…

awesome and congrats! you should be proud and happy, it's a great time for a first 5k!! kudos! ^_^

i love when you laugh so hard your abs begin to hurt; such a great feeling. ^_^
