Didn't think I'd be back so soon, but... During my recent trip I went to a concert and really wanted to get this one particular t-shirt, because for a whole host of reasons the singer and song are tied into my weight loss/self love/health improvement journey. I resolved to get it one size too small, partly for motivation…

About 1/3rd of the way to my goal, and while many amazing effects have been realized, the first real victories happened only recently... I used to fly frequently for work, but since switching jobs (to a much more active one) I haven't traveled at all except just yestersay on a planned girls trip to Miami. On the trip…

@annegulick1020 The original post is worth the read!

That's fantastic! Way to go, both of you!

That's awesome! I basically ran here to say something similar. I bought a dress in January that was just too tight and didn't look nice at all and am wearing it to work this morning... Lots of compliments, but most of all, I feel cute as eff. Happy Friday!

Funzo! Can't find the group when I search "MFP of New Hampshire" or even just "New Hampshire." Is the subject line above the title?

My office mate and I have taken to deskercising! We have flash cards in different colors for arms, legs, back, core, etc, and on the other side different reps (we looked online and found some ideas really easily), and every hour we pick from a different category and different activity. None take more than 2-3 minutes. Our…

This! Getting over the idea that health = misery is so huge.

So this might be weird but in addition to stirfrys and soups that people mentioned I use frozen veggies in smoothies a lot. I like broccoli and carrots for this especially. Spinach and sweet potatoes also work well!

Huh, thanks for the consideration! Milk, yes, ice cream, yes, cheese, no. For yogurt and sour cream I already use Green Valley Organics lactose free, and those pose no threats. By organic milk do you mean raw milk or pasteurized organic milk at the grocery store? Thanks again!

Thanks! It's so interesting to hear what people derive from journeys like this. It really does affect every area of your life, but instead of feeling like just changing, you feel like you're meeting yourself for the first time. I love that you use the word prioritize. Yes, you gotta prioritize exercise, but you can also…

Those people were so wrong! You are the same person and worth treating kindly, both the food you put in your body and the thoughts, words, etc. Your goals are beautiful, and fitness has so little to do with them! Go girl.

So awesome! This is major inspo as I (just) started at the same weight and am trying to maintain the same pace. Do you mind sharing more about your diet/work outs? Congrats again!

Thanks, everyone! Even a little nuanced the general consensus is clear. (: Really I asked because after meal prepping I didn't want to go to the trouble of cooking an extra meal after workouts... Gotta get my laziness in somewhere, haha. Thank you again!

Oh my gosh a great rule of thumb. Thank you!

Oop, well, that last one cut off a bit. Oh welly!
