Great job! My FIL's NSV was when he could get his wedding ring off. He never took it off and just gained weight around it. It wouldn't come off for years. Then, one day.. POOF! It was off! :P Great NSV!

Ok... Don't judge.. I was 13, and they were very popular. Ace of Base- The Sign... My sister still thinks of me everytime she hears them on the radio.

LOL!! Love this post. My husband Coffee Pasta(Italian girl... Pasta in a marinara sauce fixes everything. :P) Chocolate Gold Bond foot powder for my stinky workout sneakers

QOTD #2: How did you find MFP, and how do you like it compared to other programs/sites/diets/etc you've tried in the past? Found MFP through the Team Beachbody message boards. You have to pay on Team Beachbody to have access to their tracking tool. I did for a little while and didn't like it. Tracking on WW is good, but…

I don't know what 5'10" and a size 12 looks like, but body composition plays a big roll. Just keep working on it! However, I would change the back of dress to a lace up just so you won't be worrying about it. Better to have the back change and not really need it than to stress about fitting into your dress for the next 4…

Leah- sorry to hear about your cold. Winter colds are bad, but summer ones are worse. I hope you feel better soon. I hurt my ankle last night. I did Turbo Fire HIIT 15 last night for the first time. I don't think I hurt myself while doing it. I didn't feel it until hours later. I wore sneakers to work today and have my…

Unfortunately, she has to make the effort to work on her body image. My husband thought I was sexy and beautiful when I was at my highest weight, but nothing he could say to me would make me believe it. I had to make the conscious effort to stop hating on my own body. I'm gradually learning to pick out the good things and…

LOL!! I don't enjoy it, but I don't enjoy going to work everyday either. I do it because my body likes it, and I want to be strong. I don't like saying "Hun, can you take the cat litter upstairs?" I want to be able to carry that stuff up the 2 flights of stairs without my husband's help.

I love Turbo Fire! For each of the workouts, there is a "new to class" option that breaks down each section of the workout. So, you can learn it slow. Then, do it at the speed of the music. There is also a low impact modifier you can follow. I modify a bit at the moment because of some knee issues. There is also a Prep…

I work in a small office and we share a restroom with 2 other businesses on our floor... I've never seen anything that gross at work. Now, the restroom that is used by the general public is another issue. However, I've never seen a tampon in a sink... That's beyond nasty!

Leah, if you start it, I will come. :P NAME: Marie (or Rie if you'd like) AGE: 30 HEIGHT: 5'2'' START WEIGHT FOR CHALLENGE: 142 GOAL WEIGHT FOR CHALLENGE: 140 START PANTS SIZE: 8 (US) GOAL PANTS SIZE: 6 (US) FOLLOW ANY SPECIAL DIET: nope DIET GOALS: Healthier eating and less processed foods EXERCISE GOALS: Exercise…

I did the prep schedule for the past 2 weeks or so. I decided to abandon that and started the normal schedule yesterday. I'm looking forward to HIIT 15 tonight!

My rule.. You can wear any color shoes with a black dress. I wore a black dress to my friend's wedding and bought a pair of awesome purple heels to go with it. Get creative!

I am totally addicted to my morning coffee. Last summer, my husband and I were visiting a friend who doesn't drink coffee. I got one serious headache and was a total b*tch because there was no coffee... The only time I don't drink coffee in the morning is when I workout first thing on the weekend. However, I will…

When you have a saggy butt eventhough they just came out of the hot dryer. :P

oh... I probably should've specified that I don't run... And when I try to, it is definitely done outdoors. So, no treadmill. I get my sweat on with one of the various workout DVD's that I own.

^ That and "My god! Why is it so stinking hot in this room?" :P

My whole family notices this stuff. I was raised in a family full of women that were always worried about their weight. My sister told be yesterday (after not seeing me for 2 months) how flat my stomach is getting since I've started working out. Of course, I've noticed this too. I've made a conscious effort to stop hating…

^That! The day after a night out drinking I feel like I haven't eaten in days.

When I was really little, I wanted to be a Tupperware lady like my mom. Then,a teacher, and an astronaut. I was considering Marine Biology as a major when I was in high school, but nixed the idea when I found out I had to take organic chemistry. My goal is to one day be a trophy wife. I'm just waiting on my software…

Spend a few minutes warming up your muscles. Then, do a nice long easy stretch.

Invest in a good pair of crosstrainers. I was having foot trouble because I was wearing running shoes for Kickboxing. I haven't had any pain since I started wearing crosstrainers.

I WI weekly, but I try not to get too discouraged by gains or really small losses. The key is to knowing what caused a gain or loss, and making changes as necessary. What you want to look for is a downward trend over time on your progress chart. I'm actually contemplating putting the scale away for a few weeks and…

YES!! There's a CEx and TF Hybrid. You can find it toward the back of the TF guidebook or on teambeachbody.com.

Depends on what you're looking for. If you want more strength training, do Chalean Extreme. You could incorporate Chalean Extreme in with your running. Run on your cardio days, and then do the strength training DVD's on your non-cardio days. If you want more cardio, do Turbo Fire. For Turbo Fire, on the DVD menu, there's a…

The absolute first thing? Scream and wake my husband up since I WI on Friday mornings. Followed by a lot of running, jumping and dancing around the house. :P Then, I'll get my butt ready for work. I don't have reward planned for it yet. I'll probably just go shopping for new clothes. I need to update my wardrobe anyway.

I thought my husband and I only did this. :P We love eachother and this stuff is only said in jest... I started calling him "love button" as a joke and it stuck. LOL!!

Actually there's a removable panel on the stomach that you open and stuff the doll into... I found it on Amazon when I was trying to find a gift for my neice. My reaction was "What the **** is that?"

I don't think it's disturbing... Maybe a little strange, but I'm not a parent. Hence why I find the pregnant Barbie that comes with the newborn baby that goes into the Barbie's stomach a little disturbing. It's definitely not a doll I would've put in my letter to Santa when I was little.

Honestly, I don't care what anyone calls me. When I worked at Home Depot, I had a co-worker that called me sweetie all the time. He obviously didn't know me well cause well... I'm not that sweet. :P Anyway... A perfect stranger could call me hun, babe, sugar and I wouldn't mind it. It's better than some of the other things…
