Born and raised in Germany, now stuck in KS ... middle of nowhere ... Guess not many kansas folks around here =P

Hmm ... surely sounds good! I need to start getting off my butt anyways and was planning on walking / jogging again ... so what better motivation!?

*sigh* What a day ... week ... month ... there for a while I was doing really good on the "couch to 5k" program ... than I got sick, started tacking the dogs on 2 mile walks every night, than it got hot ... too hot for them ( and me ) ... now I need to start again ... SW = 148 CW = 142 GW = lower 130ish Well ... as one may…

I sure could use a bit of push and shuff ... err i mean motivation myself ... if there is still a spot available ... please count me in ... as I really do need some help ... I do fine for a little while ... and than I give up ... and try again ... and .. and .. and ... I'm sure yall know tje story :ohwell:

9-9-9 ... It's a great date! It's my Dad's 50th B-day this yr ... and my hubby and my anniversary ... just wish it be the 9th ... but we got a few more yrs for that :smile:

I have tried several times to give up smoking ... sometimes for a day, a week, but no matter what I tried and how long it lasted ... I havent had my mind set to it and failed. I tried a bunch of different products, but again, it failed ... I think mainly cause I wasnt ready. Almost 2 yrs ago I got some dental work done,…

I have a problem with late nite snacks myself .... a few weeks ago I decided to try carrots and celery ... and its working for me ... and if I really have a sweet tooth late, I grab a Crystal Light popcic .... its about 15 calories ... tasty and healthy ... its been working for me ... hope it helps =)

Welcome aboard, Adam :smile: To answer your question ... well, if I add a home cooked meal, I add each ingredient and once I'm done I click on the "remember meal" option and give it a name I will remember, such as StirFry. Hope this helps .... and Good Luck on your journey! :flowerforyou:

I did barely 35sec ... Hubby got 1min 34 sec and got bored... Just wasnt fair ... I just gotten done with my "couch to 5k" run and than we started this together and I thought to myself " How stupid ... we are so competitive with each other, we gonna puke our guts out and wont stop" ..than I had that pic in my mind and…

I'd think its normal that your distance went up. The more and longer you run, walk or jog, the more comfortable your body gets and its easier to pick up your pace without even noticing :happy: I just started a similar plan .... http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/Programs/agressive_program.htm Hopefully I will really stick…

Guess I'll have a late start on this ... got sick ... no way I can push myself tru it :ohwell: Hopefully I'll feel better tomorrow and are able to join right in!!!

I'm in as well! Have tried the shred by myself and with a friend ... but didnt stick with it ... maybe this will really keep me motivated and going. :wink:

So I recently started Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred. Love the video and exercise. But either I just completely missed it or what not, but nowhere can I find information as how and when to use the different levels. I am currently only doing level 1. Does anyone here know how to do it right? Thanks a bunch! :smile:

I will second that! My first year of actually watching the show ... couldn't have picked a better one! And yeah ... Adam got my vote too! :blushing:

Woot ... Day 3 of 30DS ... and still sticking it out :happy: I am actually starting to enjoy it :smile: Well ... at least the feeling of being able to keep up with lvl one ... and the fact that there is a half an hour a day JUST for me .... Really hope it will stay that way! :smile: /wave

Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred ... heard alot of it ... and now know its really true! :wink:

Whoohoo .... Day two ... I stuck with it and survived another 30DS session :smile: And trust me I've looked for all kinds of excuses today .... be it that mowed the grass, planted stuff, played with the dogs and cats, run errands, went shopping ... I still did it ... now I am off to shower and bed :smile: BTW ... I've…

My goodness ... So there went my plan of starting the 30 day shred and the healthy eating on May 1st. Got the DVD, but it wasn't working. Took me till yesterday to find another copie here in town ( shoulda ordered it online and I'm sure I had it before than! ) So anyhow .... I knew I wasn't in the best of shape for…

If they say NO to Tennis shoes try flip flops, or walking shoes, or running shoes ... unless of course they are really specific .... I know how you feel tho ... I used to work in a call center and we had the same rules ... sux =(

Thank you everyone =) Now I just gotta keep my attitude up and this motivated feeling going ... which probably means I should go to bed and get some rest so I can start an energetic morning ... :wink: Manu

I've logged on here a while back. Did really well on the eating healthier and doing at least a little bit of exercise here and there. But somehow life caught up with me and for the last month, month and a half I've slacked of pretty bad. :embarassed: Now It's time for a new start. Starting tomorrow I will again start to…

I recorded it .... will watch it tomorrow, when I am more awake :smile: Thank you!

Just wanted to thank everyone for their input =) I really appreciate it! Hotmomov4, I have a Rat Terrier and a Pure Blooded Mix ( alsdo known as Heinz 57 :tongue: ) About trying interval or circuit training ... I guess I am not very familiar with that. But 30 minutes sounds doable =) Thank you! Lauryn1981, Thank you! Not…

Thank you for all your inputs =) I greatly appreciate it! I prolly wont get up half an hour earlier, as my days are already very long, but sure like the meal planning idea =) Thank you, Myastyme! Also like the idea of designating one "errands-day" per week. which will work well with the scheduled meals =) Thank you, Georg!…

Hi :smile: I found this site a little while back and really like it so far. For once I am actually able to keep track on what I am eating... and actually eat healthier ( for the most part :blushing: ). Now to my real problem ... I get up fairly early, take care of the puppies, eat breakfast and get ready for work. I start…

No offense ... but I didn't like the way your post started. I'm not quiet sure what the Cold War Era has to do with your calories, and what bombing St. Peterburg aka Leningrad would have done for you. *shrug* Other than that ... make sure you also count the little things ... a gum here, a fiber bar there ... they also add…

Hi ... I'm the new girl ... And I be stopping by more often from here on out. I'm hoping to find the motivation needed to keep up my diet and exercise to reach my personal goal. :smile:
