Congrats Kristin! How exciting! I love both of those names. My husband and I aren't planning kids for a while, but we started considering names for fun one day :) Casey - my husband introduces all these temptations, like drinks and unhealthy snacks that I often fall victim to and have all my life, hence being about 20…

I'm in the same boat as Kelly. I am a teacher and have been bad at my routine this summer. I usually lose the most weight in the summer because I have time, but I just don't know where it's gone! So now I'm focused on losing a bit more before school starts and then keeping the training going throughout the school year. I…

Casey - I have these 8 minute videos, like 8 minutes abs and arms, and 8 minutes buns and legs. If you do these, they are crazy! if you try to do all the reps the first time you will hardly walk the next day. I keep saying that I gotta get back into those for training, but I haven't. Here's for trying those again! I'm…

I like to run and walk for about 5 miles. That's free for me and I can take my black lab Maggie with me. I wish I had a bike so I could mix it up, but alas, no extra money for that. Eventually.

What suprises me the most about your post is how well you made adjustments based on the difficulties you faced! You made some great adjustments, and although the day is not going the way you would like and you are obviously hungry, you did the right thing and you'll get through it!

I'm new to this, too. I joined in April and then stopped coming on here. This week I am finally motivated. I am 25 years old and just this week hit my highest weight of 171. I'm 5'10" and would like to be 155, maybe even 150 (altho I'm not sure that's realistic). My calorie counter is set up to lose 1.6 pounds a week. I am…

Are you near a Papa Murphy's? The Take-and-Bake philosophy? They make a deLite crust that is very thin and therefore less calories. Here is the link to their nutritional information: http://papamurphys.com/public/PDFs/Nutrition_Info.pdf They have many options with lots of veggies and full flavor, even in the regular crust…
