I'm in Ohio too (Garfield Heights), and also have about 50 lbs to lose... again... lost it a couple years ago and then my mother in law moved in with us lol. Lets motivate each other! :)

Americone Dream is amazeballs :P We have a scoop shop near us so we get to try any and all of their flavors, but that's my go-to if we're in the grocery store. Just make sure you allot for it in your calories!

You beat me to it! :laugh: *Whovian love*

Well I went to Marietta College where I met my hubby, and we now live in Garfield Heights (right outside Cleveland), and I work all over the place from Cleveland Heights to Streetsboro :) Feel free to add me if you're in the area!

I LOVE your reward choice! I <3 <3 Doctor Who! My incremental rewards are mini shopping sprees at local thrift stores, and my big reward is going to be laser hair removal :)

LOL I loved the Adipose episode :D

My worst food habit was mindlessly eating whatever I could find in the cupboard after school while watching TV - it was usually something like sugary cereal, or cookies, or something else just as bad, with absolutely no regard for portion control. Some days it was an entiiiire block of cheese and an entiiiiire sleeve of…

yes! we met in one of those boards you post on for the state you live in, and discovered that we live only about 20 minutes apart, so we decided to meet up in one of the local parks for a walk, and now she is one of my best friends! <3

This sounds disgusting, unhealthy, unreasonable, and frankly, kinda ridiculous. My hubby and I wouldn't even be able to do it because I don't eat red meat, and he is highly allergic to tomatoes... I will gladly stick with eating whatever I want, counting calories, and losing slowly but steadily :)

i didnt even think to suggest it, but this is probably the most helpful thing to do, and there are plenty of good apps out there specifically for it :) i personally use 'pink pad'

ive only had 2 periods since last december when i started my life change - but ive done a lot of research, and ive heard you should just let it decide when it wants to come or not. if youre really concerned you can always go see your doc to be put on birth control pills to force it, but its completely natural for it to be…

Salvation Army and Goodwill - I pretty much never shop anywhere else unless we stumble on a super clearance somewhere! You can find AMAZING clothes, often still with the tags on, for a fraction of the cost, and the proceeds go to the charity work that they run, not just to some rich snob who can't get enough money even…

All this means is that you need to figure out what your personal stride length is for walking vs. running and input it into your information on your fitbit settings - obviously yours is longer than the default one, but it's an easy fix :)

I am a dog walker, sitter, and trainer and I can guarantee that this is an absolutely preventable problem - he's left a lone all day locked up, hes BORED! Do you not give him toys to play with? Also, he's a working breed who is still barely out of puppy stage, so he has tons of energy he needs to work off. If you can't…

I bought my dress from Goodwill for $60 :D it still had the tags and everything - never worn - it was a David's Bridal gown that retailed for over $800. I had it tailored (just the hem) which cost $40, and dry-cleaned for $100. My veil I got at Micheal's Craft Store for $15, and I added it to a sparkly little tiara shaped…

I had this thought just yesterday, it really is my only complaint so far, I've had mine for about three months. If it had bluetooth to sync with my phone on the go, it would be PERFECT! Also, I usually keep mine hooked to the center of my bra, and I'm a dog walker, so I have to use the start/stop button before and after…

i loooove #3, but it seems to be more girls night out appropriate, i think that #2 is beautiful and very wedding appropriate :)

on the homepage, click on 'settings', then 'switch to metric measurements' :)

some people say dont eat them, some say you HAVE to eat them all, most people say eat somewhere in the middle lol i typically eat about half of my exercise calories back, but use as many as you need to in order to feel full :) basically, the 1200 you have it set to has your daily deficit built in already, so you dont need…

I haven't had the chance to try making them myself, but I have had premade ones that were sprinkled with low cal ranch, and those were DELISH! Now that my hubby and I have a dehydrator, I'm hoping to give it a try soon! :D

96 Geo Prizm - Emma is the best! :D <3

http://delainesskinnydelights.blogspot.com/2012/05/baked-eggplant-with-parmesan.html This recipe is DELICIOUS! I've made it multiple times and you can eat the ENTIRE recipe for only about 125 calories! I can never eat the entire thing, I always have leftovers, and you only really need 3 ingredients: a medium eggplant, an…

im technically a lacto-ovo-pesce-pollo-terian lol thats a very complicated way to say i still eat dairy and eggs, poultry, and fish, but no red meat. my friends make fun of me allll the time for it, but ive been at it for about 14 years now and feeling better than ever :D

DO NOT USE PEPPER SPRAY ON A DOG!!! It is NOT the dog's fault that it hasn't been trained properly - it's not fair to hurt it for not knowing that it's doing something wrong! And the comment about the dog chasing you because it 'smelled fear' is pretty much a load of bull - the dog is probably chasing you because it thinks…

just had this happen to me, mine used to be sporadic, but since ive been making better choices its been incredibly reliable. now ive lost 35 pounds and it decided it wanted to stop. i took multiple tests (all negative, obviously), but it did eventually come... 13 days late! gah...

I think it should be a law that it be provided for everything at least online - but I think on principle all restaurants should have at least a little separate handout with the nutritional info in it that you can ask for. I definitely go out of my way to eat at places who have the info clearly listed or at least easily…

I'm a very busy person lol I own my own dog walking, sitting and training business in Cleveland, OH (doggietrots.horizon-host.com) I run an online handmade jewelry store (subtlegracedesigns.ecrater.com) I am a full-time online student working towards my business administration degree It's an action packed life, but I love…

try the c25k program - its fantastic! i used to not be able to run for more than like 30 seconds, but im on week 4 and im up to running for 5 minutes straight now :) good luck!

i also reeeaaaalllllly hate water... i invested in some bottles of mio (or the walmart great value equivalent) which is a liquid zero calorie flavor booster. they are delish, and you can just pop the little bottle in your purse to take with you in case you need it on the go :) one bottle will flavor just about an entire 24…

Hello fellow Ohioans :) I've only lived here officially for about 3 years, but I went to college here for 3 years before that. I'm currently in the Cleveland area (Garfield Heights to be specific). I started at 226 - currently at 197 - hoping to get down to 150 then see how I look and reevaluate then. I can't wait till…
