I think a few years back Nike made a pair of shoes that had such a thing built into them. I never paid to much attention to them at the time but it's worth doing a search for them. Doing a google search came up with this. Hope it helps http://store.nike.com/us/en_us/?l=shop,fuelband

Great job :)

Congrats :)

Awesome! Great job

Take your measurements. Sometime those will allow you to see change faster then the scale. I feel like I've gained weight quiet often but looking at my measurements helps me realize that I haven't.

I haven't had personal experience with the Nuva ring but my sister did. She ended up having to stop using it because it messed with her system so badly. Her experience left her on her period for two months, anemic, and sluggish. If it is a different color it could just be old blood but if it doesn't seem right talk to your…

This is horrible and scary. I'm sorry that you have to deal with this fear. Neighborhood watch is helpful. Carry pepper spray, and learn some self-defense like people have suggested. Start walking, running, riding in groups. If you haven't yet, talk to your child about how not to go to strangers - informing the ones that…

It does sound like they are mooching off of you, especially since they are eating your food and wasting it. Giving a deadline is a great idea, though it may sound a bit heartless, they need to see that not only are they invading your space but they could be making it more difficult to get along with your landlord. Make it…

Scissor crunches is one I know of.

Up your exercise or change the amount of food you eat (I have no idea or suggestion on if it's up or down). Shock your system a little bit with those kinds of changes.

I love the Discovery series Shimmy- belly dancing (don't know if you can find it anymore), and 30 Day Shred

I have a hard time sticking with goals that seem so far out of reach that I won't get to them for like a year or more, so I set my mini goals on my ticker. Setting up 20 lbs to reach seems more accessible to me personally. It's easy enough to change the goal once i hit it.

bump for help...

I hope to get where you are soon. Great job :D

130 for me but I'll see what happens as I drop weight.

Great job. That's an amazing difference!

That's really sad that your mom felt that she needed to put you on the pill at such an early age. When I did start the pill it was my choice. I did gain weight on it but I think that was due to more of the stress I was going through at the time then the pill itself. When I went in the nurse that gave them to me talked to…

Great attitude! You will definitely lose the weight. Welcome to the site and good luck.

Without a height I can't really suggest anything. http://www.mybodygallery.com this website was posted a few days ago and it helped me figure out where I wanted to be. You can put in your height, weight you are interested in, and body shape and it will give you images of what people in those settings are. I found out that…

WOO HOO! Wonderful NSV :smile: .

Well I can tell you that your pictures did come up and they look nice. I want to congratulate you on your weight loss so far but without before and after I cant tell you if I see a difference, lol. Not really sure what you want for an opinion :S

You have to WANT to change. I have had times when I don't want to work out or I messed up my calories (like today) but I force myself to get up and exercise. I look at what I've accomplished so far and that helps but what makes me get up off my butt and do something more than that is the reasons I do it; for my son, my…

Try to search through the forums for "twins" or you may get more results with a thread titled as "Searching for my twin" There are lots of people that are willing to motivate, encourage, and challenge. I am not close to your stats but if you would like you can add me. Good luck finding people.

From the way it sounds walking is the best thing you can start with and it's a good cardio as long as you try to challenge yourself. My dad has COPD and has lost 60 lbs just by walking and eating right. You can look up free exercise videos off of youtube.com, try to watch the videos before you decide to do them so you know…

I'll try to find it and send it to you via message :)

Something I like to put on potatoes is chili(lean turkey meat and kidney beans with some onions is great chili in my opinion) or vinegar. I get the weirdest looks when I say vinegar, but it has no calories and it has a taste. I picked it up from my great-grandmother and I have to say I really enjoy it.

Welcome to the site and good luck on your weight loss.

I've done the 30 day shred. I lost about 10 lbs and inches off my body. I liked the routine a lot and continue it(not everyday anymore), with the addition of Jillian Michaels' Killer Buns and Thighs, walking, playing Kinect fitness games, and belly dancing. Since the dvd has three stages and different a modified and…

Depends on how you are with goals like that, what kind of exercise you do, and how your body will react. You can achieve your goal in 14 months if you lose 5 pounds a month. Which is a good goal, if you exercise and eat healthy there is a good possibility that you will lose it faster.

There are lots of posts on this subject and LOTS of opinions. However the short and sweet of it is that many people point out the health factors of such a diet and the fact that a body will start to cannibalize itself from muscle and organ tissue before fat in order to fuel it throughout the day, thus making you feel less…
