I listen to K-love on my way to work too :) Keeps me positive! My mini-goal today is to get on the elliptical for 20 minutes come hell or high water. Today is my rest day since I run on M-W-F, but I want to remain active every day so an easy pace on the elliptical for 20 minutes while I watch some dumb chick flick should…

Nice Job!!!!

I'm down with losing 20 lbs by labor day :) I've recently become very active (for me) and have changed my eating habits drastically but to an eating style that I can live with for the rest of my life. I'm so excited to have some challenges and goals to work towards!

Consider them done!!!! Can't wait to get to know you all!!!!!

Even with your math the meals in this post are cheaper :) Just thought I'd point that out since you were quick to put a jab in there for someone who is trying to help people.

INCREDIBLE!! Our stories sound very similar... I hope I get similar results in the next few months!

Thanks everyone for the tips!! The over the ear ones always fall off my tiny ears too, and the back of the neck ones don't fit right either. I guess I have a small head all around! I found some cool ones on the runners world website that are bluetooth and they go around the back of your neck but the wire is adjustable so…

Hi Sarah :) I'm way west but I'd be glad to be your MFP friend and neighbor :)

Can I just say...look at the difference from how hard it was to take a picture of yourself from behind in the first picture...to how effortless you make it look in the second. You look like your burdens have disappeared!

Thanks for your support ladies...I'm buying one tomorrow when I have a chance to get to the store :) I've had it ....and MFP isn't enough motivation unfortunately... I need a serious attitude adjustment before I'm going to get anywhere with this weight loss thing

Thanks Jennifer :)

OP: Bump means the person likes your post and wants it to keep appearing on the top of the discussion boards. They write bump so that it has a new reply and goes back to the top so more people can see it and possibly respond. Try working while standing up as much as you can, even if you feel silly, it's amazing the…

If you like to run to music, there is an app called PodRunner that basically does couch to 5k by running to the beat of the music. It helps me pace myself and not run too fast and get worn out.

I met my husband on POF and although I don't think POF is the most effective site, it worked for us. When you don't know a person it's easy to pass judgement on them, and the whole premise of POF is that there are "plenty" of people on the webiste. If someone doesn't pique your interest in the first few seconds, it's just…

OK I totally need to kick myself in the butt and make it happen tonight! I HAVE to get through the whole thing!! I wish I knew how many calories I would burn, maybe it's time to get a HRM for exercise. I don't want to wear one all day because I don't eat back my calories and don't want to track regular activity as calories…

Believe it or not, I actually tried standing up at my desk this morning for a little while. Obviously I can't do it all day, but I found myself way more productive in the time that I was standing up first of all, and I could tell that my body was more engaged over all. I probably looked ridiculous standing around doing…

I have read every single one of these! We are so consumed by this....LET'S DO IT!! Think of all the energy we could put into other interesting things in our lives if we weren't so busy hating our bodies!! My body is killing me today because I did my first day of 30DS yesterday...that is the kind of miserable I don't mind…

To NEVER walk into Lane Bryant again!

Oh YEA!!! CUTE PANTIES!!!!!! LOVE IT!

To be one of those success stories and post my own before/after pics!!!!! To run a half-marathon ...(dare I say a whole marathon someday?!?!) To show my ex what the hell he gave up!!! ;) not that I lost much in the deal haha!

I'm in!! I just did my first day today...only got through about 10 minutes...HOLY CRAP!! But I can't wait to kick it's *kitten*!! I'm adding all of you as friends...I need motivation!

Hi I'm Abbey, mother of three little ones. I need to lose at least 50 lbs to be healthy. I LOVE myfitnesspal! I want to add some friends because I don't come on the computer much, mostly just on my phone and the community boards aren't on the app. I'd love to add some of you moms who need encouragement so we can keep up…
