That's amazing!!!!

That looks awesome! I love her blog and have tried some great recipes from it. I can't stand beans, but I'll have to make it without and see how it tastes. Thanks!

It's definitely a lot to take on at first....but if you're serious about weight loss and fitness, making it your top priority is the only way you will be successful. For me, being this "obsessed" about my weight and food has helped me drop other bad habits. I no longer sit there and eat because I'm bored or be lazy. I am…

I love this! You can definitely make someone's entire day or even week with just a smile, a small act of kindness, or some nice words. One of my overall goals for 2012 was just to be happier and kinder. (Not that I'm a heinous beeyotch or anything, but ya know...) I definitely need to be more aware of others when I'm out…

I think the last bikini I owned was my 6th grade black and white skirt number. I totally intend on wearing a bikini during my wedding in Florida next January though. It will happen.

They have healthier options there now, but yea - most of their menu is outrageous. When I first started calorie counting, I knew that stuff wasn't necessarily healthy, but I didn't realize just how badly. Most of those burgers have more calories in just the sandwich than I eat in an entire day. Usually when I go to…

Yep, my MAMA! My fiance has to work, my sister and her boyfriend want to take the kiddo out with them for some reason (I'll take a kid-free night and not question them), and my dad has meetings, so I'm going over to spend the evening with my mom. =)

The 30-Day Shred is great and definitely helps with endurance. I think it's very important to have a rest day incorporated into your week. So I would stick with your normal gym schedule, add 30DS on Tuesday and Thursdays, and then have Fridays for rest. While the 30DS doesn't burn as many calories, you're still getting a…

1) How my fiance was lazy this morning and didn't help me and ruined my morning. 2) I'm super cold. 3) I hope the new Crockpot recipe I made this morning turns out good. 4) I want it to be lunch time already because I'm so looking forward to the food doghouse-fiance is bringing me to make up for the morning. 5) I don't…

Not much right now... - one package Better Oats Oat Revolution Thick & Hearty Maple & Brown Sugar - one 100-calorie bag of Orville Redenbacher Butter popcorn - Emerald Cocoa Roast Almonds (dark chocolate flavor) - Lipton Green Tea Lemon Ginseng - Coffee-Mate original powder coffee creamer - Generic Decaf Iced Tea w/ Peach…

I loooove Zumba! I take 60-minute classes at a local studio once a week. Once my punch card is up, I'll solely be doing it at home with my Zumba Wii games.

^ Hello twin, this is me. I would LOVE to get through all 30 days, especially when I see peoples' awesome results. I just don't have the attention span to do the same workout for an entire month.

Add me if you'd like! =) My goal for the new year was 80 total pounds, half of that by this summer. I'm already down 10, and hopefully can bang out the next 30 before I go wedding dress shopping this summer!

Definitely my butt.

My first tattoo that I got after a really rough time the year I graduated college: It constantly reminds me to take risks and be fearless, even when I may want to build up walls. My college roommate and I got matching tattoos in 2009 on a trip to Chicago: I actually have a tattoo twin somewhere on MFP - she has this exact…

That does, thank you so much for your input! I'm glad I'm not the only one that babies my foot. =)

Definitely - usually I have my entire day's worth of meals and snacks planned by 10am or so. It's just easier if I have a plan to follow and so that I don't eat tons and end up with few calories left at the end of the day.

Bump! This looks delicious!

Totally spot on!!!

Great, thank you so much.

Yay! <3

Yay, some NW people on here! I live in St. Joseph, which is about a 40-60 minutes north of the KC area.

I love the workout calendar you can print off for free every month from 24 Hour Fitness' website. You can put a few goals at the top, and then schedule your workouts and keep track of how you do through the month. My goals for this month are: - Lose 5 pounds. (More would be great!) - Drink at LEAST 64oz. of water every…

Heyyy!!! My name is Barbara and I live in St. Joseph, MO. (About 40-60 minutes away from KC depending on which part you're headed to.) I'm getting married in a year and hopefully can lose a bunch of weight before then. 7 pounds down so far!

Well I just learned something knew, that's what I thought too! =P

I have two....that song "Hang On Sloopy" by the McCoys? When I was little, I'd always sit in the backseat and belt out what I thought it was: "HANG ON STUPID, STUPID HANG ON!!!" And this makes me feel really dumb because deep down, I KNEW this....when I was a kid, I was obsessed with the movie White Christmas (still am,…

John Fogerty sometimes sang it that way in concert at the end of the song as a joke since so many people thought those were the real lyrics.

Bump! Yum!

What has helped me is the eating every 3ish hours. That way I never become "starving" to where I want to shove food in my face. I eat breakfast around 7:30, snack at 10, lunch at 12:30, snack around 2:30-3, dinner at 5:30-6, then sometimes a small snack around 8-9ish.

Thanks for the info! I haven't even looked at dresses yet.
