Dear Boyfriend, Would it kill you to put your dirty dishes in the dishwasher? Ya know by the time you rinse the bowl out, put dish detergent in it and then run water in it to let it sit, you could have put the freaking thing in the dishwasher!!!! Love, your girleyfriend And dear older sister #1, for over 3 months you know…

I bought my first elliptical at Wal-Mart and thought it was going to fall apart before I got 30 minutes in. Took it back, went to Sports Authority and bought a Pro-Form brand. Well worth the extra $$$. Happy "ellipticalling". :bigsmile:

Today I choose to do Week 5 / Day 1 of the Couch to 5K program. I have been repeating week 4 for 2 weeks because Week 5 scares me and I'm afraid I won't be able to do it. Well, thanks to your post, I'm going to give it my best shot today because I won't know until I try it !!!!

WOW! Congratulations on your weight loss and good luck as you continue your journey. This site is wonderful for motivation, support, recipes or just general info. Welcome. :flowerforyou:

Love this flavor of Crystal Light ! I don't add the whole packet to my 16 oz water bottle cause I just like a "hint" of flavor. I can usually get 3 water bottles out of 1 packet. My water intake is normally 32 oz with Crystal Light and 32 oz of plain water.

Good for you! Fries are one of my favorites so I understand your accomplishment. Way to keep focused and on track. :smile:

Robert Pattinson (yes, I'm shallow) Jackie Kennedy Onassis

Davinci Whole Wheat spaghetti pasta has 170 calories per 2 oz service. And it taste great!

I have learned that I actually do like green beans...but only if they are fresh and steamed. Can't stand them frozen or out of a can.:sick: I've also learned (well, I've always known but MFP made is really sink in) that people lose weight differently so quit comparing myself to everyone else. So what if it takes me 3…

Good morning everyone. November is not off to a good start. Halloween candy started me into a 3 day sugar frenzy but that is over begining today. Hope Halloween isn't an indication of what Thanksgiving will be like. I really thought I had more willpower than that. Oh well, it's a new day so I'm back on track. Good luck to…

I DID !

Congratulations! I love how accomplishing something makes me feel great, even if it is only 1 workout. I am doing the C25K program too and love it. I am doing week 4 for the second week in a row. I completed all 3 days last week but it about killed me and I didn't feel "strong" after I finished. I felt more like I'd been…

Donate it to local food bank or homeless shelter. There are some groups that take donated Halloween candy and send it to the troops in care packages. Google it for your area.

I'm obsessed with Twilight !!!! As you can tell from my ticker, I'm Team Edward. :love: I've only been a fan for 4 months. When Eclipse came out this past June, I thought "maybe I need to read the books and see what all the hoopla is about". Bought Twilight on July 1st cause we were going to the beach and thought it would…

I'm in! Have made this challenge the past 2 months so let's see if I can make it 3 in a row. Nov. 1 - 199.2 Goal Weight fo 11/30/10 - 194.2 (Will have to be very good through Thanksgiving. :frown: Good luck to everyone. We all can do it! Remember Thanksgiving is only 1 day. We have 29 other days to do this!!!

I accomplished another day of exercising and eating healthy. One day at a time...one pound at a time.

I agree totally ! I can be in the worst mood but about 20 minutes into my workout I start to feel better. It's true, exercise releases those happy endorphins. Thanks for posting. Another reminder of why I need to work out. :flowerforyou:

It's just me and my boyfriend and he's pretty easy to please. He doesn't mind that eating healthy. Having to buy for 2 different kinds of eating habits would increase the grocery bill. Don't know what I'm doing right, but I really am saving money !

hahaha. Love it! I'm not a morning person. I have tried for years to work out before work but I hate it. Even on the days I have gotten up at 6:00 to exercise, my workout is not a "strong". I don't have the energy to push myself in the morning as I do in the afternoons. Finally, after trying and trying, I gave up because…

Friday night is date night with my boyfriend so we go out to eat. I don't go crazy but if I eat 200 - 300 extra calories, I'm fine with it. Sometimes I even stay at my calorie goal. It's all about moderation and lifestyle.

I turn it off as soon as I finish my workout. I just figure I burn calories even if I'm doing nothing so those "extra" calories I burn while waiting for my heart rate to return to normal aren't worth worrying about.

Good morning everyone. Just checking in on my weigh in day. Oct. 1 - 205 Oct 25 - 200 Yay! Made the 5 lbs. Still have 6 days left in October so going to try to get to ONEderland. Good luck everybody and don't give up. :flowerforyou:

Orville Reddenbacker's Simply Salted popcorn. I am a popcorn addict.

How exciting! Congrats! I hope to be under 200 my next weigh in. :smile:

Listen to audio book, Compulsion by Jonathan Kellerman. Just finished reading Heartbreaker by Julie Garwood yesterday. Going to start re-reading the Twilight series tonight.

Increase the intesity of your exercise by pushing yourself a little harder. Or add 5 or 10 minutes to your exercise time. The important thing is to stick with it and keep doing the right things. Your body will adjust and the scale will start moving again. If you are eating right and exercising, your health is bound to be…

Good job. Doctors say that loosing just 10% of your body weight reduces your risk of diabetes, certain cancers and heart disease by something like 25%. Way to go! :smile:

Love this topic. So many people, me included, get obsessed with the scale. NSV - Being able to bend over and paint my own toe nails !!!! Not having heartburn since I quit eating greasy, fried, fatty foods. Wearing my favorite rings now that my fingers aren't so fat. :tongue:

On the 5 days a week I exercise, I burn anywhere from 350 - 450 calories, according to my HRM. Since I added the C25K to my workout, it's always over 400.

Sounds delicious ! I love Laughing Cow Light cheese wedges. Thanks for sharing.
