Thanks so much for sharing the website. I am a new runner and after completing my first 5K last month, immediately began researching more races. I can run a mile without a break (that's new for me!) and am looking forward to the day that I can run a 5K without stopping. My ultimate goal is to run the Vegas half marathon!…

Welcome to MFP! Before you get discouraged, you should give your body a couple of weeks to acclimate to your new food intake/workout regime. Bodies are strange things and everyone reacts differently to new activity and foods. Like others said, do make sure that you're eating at least 1200, and I mean AFTER adding in your…

Was planning on going back to the track again tonight and just walking, but I'm actually sore from yesterday's run. So, taking hubby's advice, I'm taking it easy tonight and am staying home. I might give the crunches a whirl...I dunno. I'm in semi-blob mode right now. :laugh:

I remember using St. Ive's Apricot Face Scrub! Like you said, that takes me back to middle school. :laugh:

I've been using the same foaming makeup remover/facial cleanser for years and years. Neutrogena Fresh Foaming Cleanser. It's about $6-8 and is a makeup remover and foaming washer. I absolutely love it. I've got semi-sensitive skin (which I learned when my favorite moisturizer got discontinued and all the new stuff I tried…

pmkelly - Nice discovery with pilates On Demand! I always forget that those free programs are there. JustJenn419 - The three daily happy thoughts were started in the last challenge. You're not forced to post them, but it is a reminder to remember at least three things that happened in your day that made yo uhappy. It is so…

www.modcloth.com always has the most adorable clothes and accessories available. I'm not sure if they ship worldwide... www.bravissimo.com is a UK-based company that does ship worldwide. Their specialty is clothing for ladies with narrow rib cages and larger breasts. They've got lingerie, swim stuffs, and a new clothing…

OMG...I totally want ALL of these! http://www.vampyvarnish.com/2011/04/physicians-formula-powder-palette-mineral-glow-pearls-powder-blush-swatches-photos-review/ I mean, I could really just get translucent pearl and be happy as a clam, but I'm just loving all of Physicians Formula's powder palettes. They're just awesome…

JustJenn419 - Do or do not, there is no fail. Er, try. :laugh: But seriously, this challenge isn't something that you can fail. You can only be successful. I really do hope that you decide to stay with the group, we'd love to have you. autumn_lea85 - Good luck with your 10 pound goal! PNW...I was up there last summer for…

That is totally awesome! Coupons and sales really are the best thing ever. Which is why it makes me sad that there's hardly EVER a sale at Sephora or Ulta. Best they do is 15% off for VIBs once in a blue moon.

Kelly9579 - Welcome to the group! Hope you find nothing but fabulous success! Don't you dare go feeling ashamed. You don't have to post anything you don't want to! Like Pam said, you can post zero as your starting weight, and log the number of pounds lost. Like, put "0" for starting weight, and then just log in the…

Nikster, you're looking smashing!! JeninBelguim, can't wait to see your after pic. :) CrystalS, huh weird I wonder why mine didn't work. Phooey! Here's the direct link--http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w219/cuddlebunny116/MFP/DSC_2407-2-1-1.jpg

Nevermind. ;)

I added the [ img ] [/ img ] tags for you, but on my computer (I'm using Chrome) your pictures aren't showing up. Do you have your flickr folder set to public?

Website = UPDATED! :D http://teamh20.webs.com/

OK awesome possums, here's the H20 Weigh-In Spreadsheet! http://bit.ly/gMSmGc If you'd like to participate, just add yourself to the document and be sure to update yourself weekly. Your Start Weight and Week 1 weight may or may not be the same, it depends on your weigh-in day. For example, I ended the last H20 challenge at…

Here's my EGGstra challenge before and after pictures: [img]http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w219/cuddlebunny116/MFP/DSC_2407-2-1-1.jpg[/imgSorry about the tilt on the after picture. I took it quickly as soon as I'd gotten home from the buffet and didn't get to check do a photo shoot/correction photo.Had a great NSV…

Crystal, you look great! You have definitely made wonderful progress over the course of this challenge. I can hear your frustration with yourself regarding your eating today. But realize that you now recognize that you didn't do what is best for you! Before you justified it and that was it. Now, you enjoyed a little too…

I'm so very excited for our new challenge! I'll definitely get the red, white, and blue spreadsheet posted up tomorrow. I'll also get thr website all pretty and updated :) Happy Easter, and here is looking forward to a fabulous July 4th! OH, and we gotta get our siggy graphic going too! :D

Like Crystal S said, don't forget about the challenge AprilVal gave to us in Week 1...

What she said!! I eat what I want to eat. Thanks to the changes I've made in my life, I usually don't want that indulgent meal or snack. I used to be a snackopotomus and would eat McD's almost every day. I've changed the way I eat and my mindset about food, so I don't consume like I used to. But when my tummy tells me it…

JeninBelguim - I'm sure you'll squeak another 9 miles in before you know it. ;) I'm kind of surprised you guys don't have a Target with American stock in it. I'd think it would be kind of a novelty, like how we have IKEA here. cazz - Well, don't YOU end up in the bathroom taking copious amount of pictures and end up…

ceelovejay - Congrats on losing over a dozen pounds during the challengs! That is absolutely fantastic. fitterpam - How great you must have felt bringing home clothing a size smaller than what you were wearing! That's such a fun NSV. AprilVal - Indoor photos are very difficult, but it looks like you got great lighting for…

Oh man what a bummer! I'm glad you got yourself to the doctor, though.

Got my husband to watch the first episode last night...he was impressed with what they could do! And agreed that Joanie (Krazy Coupon Lady) was the coolest and most normal one. That she stockpiles for her family, not because of impulse or greed (like the first couple who bought 150 Butterfinger bars just because), or…

Sorry I haven't gotten in here yet! I'll come back tonight to catch up with everyone. :love: :)

Fun little Physician's Formula haul yesterday! Rite Aid has BOGO 50% off as well as a deal where you spend $20 in PF products and gets $5 +UP bucks (money to spend next time you shop there). I got: -Happy Booster Bronze (I already have light bronze and was kind of wishing I'd gotten the darker color) -Cashmere Wear…

Jen, boo on your walk getting cut off, but you definitely deserved to log the full 10 miles. Lucky hubby, two new pairs of shoes! What did you get for yourself? AprilVal, have a good night! The pet expo was SO fun. i just love seeing all of those doggies. There was only one bulldog up for adoption, and she wasn't going to…

lainakerr, post the pic of your new do pleeeease! Like nola said, did you use a primer for the shadows? That would definitely help with the longevity. Nola, how weird that you weren't able to see my response. I posted it as a comment to your post on my page. We SO need a notification system here! We're too talkative to not…

Cazz, I NEED to see these CFM shoes! I didn't even know the term until hubby and his guy friend started talking about a girl's FMP's (p=pumps). :laugh: You're going to look so damn hot, please do post a picture of you in this awesome outfit! April, definitely set a price. A wedding is a LONG day. You have pre-ceremony,…
