AddictedtoTattoos

:D Thanks everyone, its nice to see the numbers drop, but even nicer being able to touch my toes :3

the more the merrier! go ahead and add me

SO MUCH! Next goal is to work on that muffin top. Since above my hips had thinned, it's a LOT more noticeable

I go to bed pretty early, but if I fo get a snack, I make sure it's a light one. I don't sleep well when I eat something heavy before bed, and I feel like that since I'm not working that heavy food off, my body is just absorbing all of it.

ever thought of doing that, guilt, who would have thought it can be used to reach our goals :D

you know, I have the same question. Hopefully someone will answer something helpful

A nice sunny day makes me want to go out and do something, and seeing the numbers on the scale go down have kept me at it. Even though I've only lost 6 lbs I still feel great. Proud of myself that i've kept it up for so long.

I do enjoy monster, didn't know there was a no sugar/calorie one. I tried to Red Bull Zero and I didn't quite like the taste. workin a 5 hour shift tonight so i'll try the Monster and see where it gets me. Thanks for the suggestions :D

this is like heaven to me XD My grandpa raised tropical freshwater fish all his life, and I've picked up on it, it really helps my anxiety.

ok, how bout working as a cashier/maintenance person 3days a week for 10 hours a day(this week at least) my hours will vary everyday but I'm literally on my feet for all but 10 minutes for lunch, I haven't really worked out exorcise days yet, but I'm planning 2 days a week. Should I up my activity level or just log the 10…

bump, i wanna know too

My shin and shoulders didn't hurt, the legs didn't hurt, and my friend just got a tattoo down the back of his leg that says Brotherhood from the knee to the ankle, he said it only hurt at his heel. To me fat hurts WAY more then muscle, so for me i try to stay to parts of my body that are less fatty.

The only one that hurt was the poodle on my arm. And heres to the addicting part, I got my first 5 in one summer, and I'm getting another 4 within the next 2 months XD My brother is an artist, did all my tats, he's getting better.

Another question, I only work 2 days a week, so would it be ok to just log the days i work as standing: fishing, because it feels exactly the same, just not with the worms. I don't want to change my activity level because If I see I can eat 1600 calories, I will most of the time >.< it's my flaw.

ooooooh alrighty then, thank you :D

I tried it before and didn't like it because of the repetitiveness because I get bored easily, so now i'm doing it every other day, so I don't get bored with it and I can stay on the wagon.

Welcome! I think you'll like it here, it's a nice spot to chat, relax and keep healthy, feel free to add me!

Awesome, so it doesn't really matter when to have it. I prefer after a workout because it makes me feel a bit less starved before I eat, usually lunch.

I was wondering the same thing. I have the strawberry and I mix one scoop with 8oz of 2% milk because I can't stand skim.

Why not post pictures of a success? Once I look good enough you can bet I'm posting pictures from me in a tank top in shorts to me being proud enough and comfortable enough to post in a, probably not bikini, but a baithing suit. I've never been a bikini liker just because of the fear of the twins falling out since I'm a…

I love peach yogurt, I've been eating it since I was a kid, but since I've seen how much sugar is in it I"ve stopped. Would it be better if I got plain yogurt and added peaches?

So, is yogurt really not healthy for you? Becase even if I eat it in the morning I'll be over my daily goal at the end of the day when it's added to other things. I miss my Orange juice but i"m so worried about going over on my sugar, that's why I cut soda out of my life. I guess my question is is it ok to eat sugar from…

Sounds like it really is a glorified pedometer, I use a Omron pedometer and through a personal trial and error found it 98% accurate. For every 50 steps it would misread at most 4 steps, pretty good for the price I paid. It doesn't count steps when your driving, but it's better to have on a belt loop then your shoe. When…

I like this idea, it'll give me a chance to compare to where I was in high school. I used to be able to do 95 crunches and 50 sit ups. Jumping jacks were never my forte XD Sounds like I have a plan for the morning, thank you!

Well we bought a bunch of grapes, apples and oranges but in the mornings I need something sweet to drink or I don't function, so I'm trying to find a pure fruit juice instead of the crap I've been drinking. It's been hard to step away from my Cranberry Apple juice but I've done it.

I like using the Zumba Calories site people have posted, I do Zumba at home every other day, but with the site I usually round to the lower 10th (i.e. it says I burnt 233, I'd take it down to 230, or if I had done 236, i'd still take it down to 230. so pretty much 231 through 239= 230) I'd rather underestimate then over…

Thanks for the feedback! Alrighty then, I wanted to make sure because I had a nice cup of Cranberry Pomegranate juice this morning and I logged it and saw how many grams of sugar were in it, and Oh my gosh. 30 grams of sugar per cup and I'm supposed to only have 2g per day, I'm going to shop around, see what I can afford…

:D Thank you!

Why not? I'm in! Right now my average from 3 weeks of wearing a pedometer was 5851, with at least two days a week hitting the 10,000 mark. Gonna try and hit it 4 times a week.
