South Dakota, USA - I'm rather happy living in a "boring" state! :)

It will definitely get easier and the results are well worth it! Keep at it!

I was trying to cut a piece of broccoli in half to try to save myself the embarrassment of trying to fit the large piece in my mouth and my fork slipped......and the broccoli (covered in sweet and sour sauce) flew across the table and into his lap. I should mention that this was our first date...we're married now!

Thanks for posting this! I live about 30 minutes away from the nearest Zumba classes. I didn't know that Zumba for Wii was out so I'm excited to buy that!

I completely agree with this. The busier I keep myself....even if it is something I enjoy like reading a book, the better.

This happened to me two months ago for the first time. At the beginning of October I finally got my TOM again (never thought I would be happy to see it)! I attributed my cycle change to a few different things. 1. I started a new and rigorous exercise regimen. 2. I just came off of summer break and drastically changed my…

Only down a half pound this week.....but hey, at least it's a loss! However, this next week, I am NOT going to weigh myself until Friday. This week I weighed myself too often and got down on myself. Not good! Hold me to it! Not....weighing....in....until.....FRIDAY!

This is one thing I am trying to get better at. I think it's important that you track EVERYTHING; the good, the bad, the ugly. That way you can actually see where you went wrong and have a visual reminder of which certain foods you binged on.

Over-indulgence happens. I definitely wouldn't skip on eating today. I would eat normally, but perhaps try to make it a lower sodium day. Good luck!

Bump so I can read it later! I love your signature, btw!

Thanks for sharing! Sounds and looks wonderful!

I struggle with sugar as well. Hang in there and good luck!

Awesome job!! Keep it up - sounds like you're doing fantastic!

Thanks for posting! I need to eat more fish and this sounds like a delicious way to incorporate it!

^This could be it. I was a little late for my cycle last month and ended up gaining 2 pounds (probably from water retention). If your gain IS because of fun female cycles, it should easily come off again once things get back to normal.

Adding you now...

Wow! Congrats! You look great. Keep it up!

Question for my fellow teachers: How many of you do the "5-6 meals a day" thing? I would like to try to do that, but it's so hard to find a break in the day (other than lunch) to get a mini-meal in. Has anyone been able to accomplish this kind of lifestyle while working as a teacher?

That is SUCH an encouragement!! I am hoping to get my hubby inspired enough to start on this website as well because it has sure helped me a lot! Keep up the good work!

Definitely sounds familiar to me....

Welcome and good luck! Feel free to add me if you want.

Welcome and good luck!

Been there, done that, unfortunately. Write down how that binge made you feel and the next time you feel like going crazy read what you previously wrote.

Bump....I need to read this later! One week I will do so well with sugar, the next week is a disaster.

I also have a Polar FT4 and would highly recommend it. I love mine!

I definitely love this idea. My husband is always telling me I need to "find a hobby other than music" since music is what I do almost all of the time. I'm ready for a new hobby and health would be a wise one to choose.

I'm 5'3.75" hehe The .75" means a lot to me! ;) My lowest weight was once around 115 and I was comfortable there. That's kind of my ultimate goal, but would be more than pleased with 120-125. I am currently 146.

I have done the 30DS and am currently on week 2 of Ripped in 30. I have seen amazing results as far as muscle tone (especially in the upper body). On Ripped in 30, I have had to either modify a couple of exercises or do an entirely different exercise for parts of it because I have been having elbow pain. However, I love…

Friday's weigh-in: 146.4 :)
