Hey! I'm 5'2" as well. Started at the end of January at 162 and I'm now at 148. Hope to lose another 20-25lbs. Feel free to add me!

Because I have no self control, I picked up something I was craving at that moment: a dark chocolate covered peep.

I am also a Yuengling Light drinker. Anything else just tastes like water, so if there's no Yuengling LIght available I'll just have fewer regular Yuenglings.

I take my dog for a long walk before I go for my run. I consider it as my warm up. That way I don't have to worry about poo while I run, or stopping every minute when he wants to smell something. Plus, my dog can't keep up with me.

Don't beat yourself up over it! Tomorrow is another day. :smile:

Feel free to add me, too! I've got another 20-30lbs to go (currently at 148, want to get to 125/120).

You should tell them the truth. Perhaps try to find some friends who can show you what you can do for fun while sober. I went through this in college (although, I think a lot of people have experienced something like this at some point in their lives). Unfortunately for me, those friends just didn't understand and I ended…

^^ This. ^^ If something works for you, great. If I'm doing the opposite and it's working for me, don't try to tell me I'm doing the wrong thing.

I don't know what the circumstances are, but I pounded out my upset/anger at the gym after my last breakup. I found Nonpoint's "Alive and Kicking" a great song to listen to when I was upset.

In high school I danced up to 5 days a week and weighed 120lbs, but still had a slight belly (thanks, genetics). That belly made me feel fat even though I could leg press the entire stack in the school gym and wear a size 3. I would scoff if anyone called me beautiful or pretty because I just couldn't see it. A knee injury…

I want to feel happy in my own skin. I want to live life to the fullest and being in shape makes it easier to do just that.

120. My current goal is 125, but if I could see 120 again I would be thrilled.

Single here, too. Pretty content with that status for now. :smile:

Tool, Fall 2006.

That's all well and good if someone starts dieting with the idea of being a role model for others. Most people I know are doing it for themselves and need to do what works best for them. I, personally, consider what I'm doing not a diet but a lifestyle change. I'm not going to give up cheese and chocolate cake for the rest…

I have three tattoos. Another two planned. One is a tiger/butterfly (tiger fur extends to the shape of a butterfly), which has no real meaning but I thought about it for 10 years before I got it so I figured I wouldn't regret it later. I have the words "I am" which is part of a quote from Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar (has…

I have "I am" tattooed on the inside of my left wrist in the direction that I can read it. It was inspired by my depression/my future happiness, and weight loss is included in that idea. I'm also a literature nut, so it's in reference to Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar: "I took a deep breath and listened to the old bray of my…

1. I feel that I am not intelligent. I have a bachelor's and a master's degree, but feel like I've managed to fool everyone into thinking I know what I'm doing. And I know that my thinking this way is sabotaging my career. No clue how to fix it. 2. I've been single for going on 3 years now and I haven't been on a date in…

Water: 7/7 Food: 6/7 F/V: 3/7 Exercise: Strength: 45/60, Cardio: 120/90, Stretching: 15/15 8 hours sleep: 5/7 (I rely heavily on the power of napping to get 8 hours of sleep.)

I give my mini schnauzer Blue Buffalo. I started him on it after he gained a lot of weight from a combination of wet and dry food full of fillers. Took him a little while to get used to it, but he loves it now.

You can add me!

Air popped popcorn with a little salt and spray butter. Quaker rice snacks. I'm partial to the sweet chili kind. A friend of mine makes kale chips. I've yet to try them, but I want to sometime soon.

I'm 30.

Goals: Water: 7/7 Food: 6/7 F/V: 3/7 Exercise: Strength: 30/60, Cardio: 120/90, Stretching: 15/15 It was tough to get in all the fruits and veggies. Harder than I thought it would be considering I already eat salad and fruit salad every day at lunch when I'm at work.

Thanks for this! I've always called what I do more jogging than running because my activity-indused asthma keeps me at a slower pace, even with my inhaler. But I feel stupid calling it jogging because for my body, it feels like running. Great to hear that it really is running. :-D

I'm 5'2", 153 lbs, a Zumba instructor part time and I take classes with other instructors as well. Honestly, the HRM is the best way to go for an accurate calorie count. If you can manage to get your HRM for a gift (I got it for a birthday present last year after telling people for months that it was the only thing I…

Feel free to add me! My friend list is pretty short so far and I would love more support!

This sounds amazing. I need to remember to try this very soon.

Bump.
