This is a great idea. A friend of mine also suggested doing something during the commercial breaks, if you're sitting on the couch watching. You can jog in place, do jumping jacks, situps, pushups... anything to get your heart pumping for those 5-10 min. Its like interval training =]

I don't own a TV, but my bf does and I am only there Friday afternoon - Monday crack of dawn. We rarely watch live TV unless it's a sporting event. If we want to watch something, we normally download the show we want to watch and then put it on our PS3 and watch it that way. We normally always have the tv on in the…

Pizza is yummy and can be good for you. Like most food, making it at home is way healthier than any restaurant. If you're really craving pizza then make one at home, you can usually buy fresh or frozen pizza dough from your grocery bakery section. Put on some tomato sauce, cheese, and veggies (and meats if you please) and…

A student at my college took their life two weeks ago. So sad. I think colleges should have better outreach. You could sit in your room by yourself and never go to class or leave your room and no one would know unless you have friends who were concerned.

I am so in love with sweet potatoes right now. Tastes like candy!!

Jessica - 10 WAR DAMN EAGLE!!!

The first 3 days I paused in between each of the 3 sets. I stopped because my HR was getting over 180 and my head was pounding and I was dizzy. I only let my HR get down to around 140 before I started again. It doesn't defeat the purpose as long as you do it. You'll eventually get to the point where you don't need to pause…

I am 5'6 and I was 140 and 20yrs old when I did a few days of 30DS. My average calorie burn for Lvl 1 was 230 calories. Also I am super weak and have shoulder problems so I was using no weights

^^^ Own it girl!! Heels are for strutting =]

I can walk jump run in heels. But my feet hurt after a while, normally I just bite the bullet because I look so darned cute =D On my 21st birthday I wore 5inch heels for 8 hours straight (the entire time totally wasted) and I only fell once, but that was because every single person in the bar got me a drink, I don't think…

yes, I am most proud of being muffin top-less. That is the reason for the shots at different angles. When I sit my tummy goes over the front of the pants though, which makes me feel gross. So I think i need to lose some more weight

ROFL!!! This one made me lol

This is the only one that has made me actually LOL so far. Because it is sooo me. My 2 favorite stations are a hardcore alternative rock station, and the pop music station.

NSV - non scale victory. It's just a way of saying something that makes us happy that isn't tied to the number on the scale

These pictures make me realize I REALLY need to clean my mirror. Haha. Thanks again for all the positive words. I am so freaking happy to be wearing this size right now =D Oh and extra bonus: the pants only cost 20 bucks!!

Thank you all so much. I was ecstatic when I realized I could fit into a size 7. My friend says that this brand runs small so maybe when we go shopping again in a few days I'll be an even smaller size in a different brand. Even if I'm not, I am sooo happy about being a size 7. It sucks that I only had time to get one pair.…

I'm 5'6 and I weigh 131.6 lbs as of this morning. Down from 147. My GW is 130. I just posted a thread with a bunch of pics so you can see what 132 lbs looks like on a 5'6 pear shaped girl (I carry my weight is my hips/butt) http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/519465-nsv-bought-new-jeans-today-pics

Wet seal makes jeans that always fit me really nicely. I have a small waist and big hips and thighs. I am also swimming in my jeans, so I am hopefully going shopping this week. I am so excited to see what size I am!

exercise can make you skip a period. Also if you're on any form of birth control you may also miss periods because of that.

I think that the title is kind of misleading. Your actual DNA can not be changed, unless through mutation. The process of demethylation is not changing your actual DNA, only the genes that are transcribed (turned into genes). I actually just learned about methylation and acetylation in my cell and molecular physiology…

Me tooo!!!! Also: Guns, Germs and Steel in your pants

Even better... earphones not plugged into anything just tucked into your pocket. This way you're aware of whats going on around you and you can pretend to ignore people. I have a slight paranoia about not being able to hear whats going on around me, so when I listen to music while walking, which is rare, I keep it at a…

I live on a college campus where we have a decent football team. I unfortunately live in the same building as the football players. They think that they are totally hot *kitten* and can do whatever they want because they get on TV a few times a year. There is a walkway that I have to walk through on my way to the front…

prone rows and using a rear deltoid machine. I just know this because I have shoulder problems and in my physical therapy we work on upper back muscles. You can also look up "rear deltoid exercises"

I agree with this. I always pretend my bf can see everything that I am doing. If he wouldn't approve if he was there, then I won't let that thing happen.

I have been doing weights at physical therapy for 2 months now. I go there twice a week and do some weights at home. I only do arm and back strengthening exercises, because my injury is in my shoulder. Anyway, this is the only exercise I have been doing for 2 months, besides walking to class. And I have lost so much weight…

I'm pretty ADD, I only take my meds on weekdays, when I have to be in class and focus. Today I didn't take them so I am a little out of it... Plus I am super tired the days that I don't take it.

Salmon has a really strong taste, if you like it cooked then you'll like it raw. But I can barely stand it cooked (i make myself eat it because the healthy fats) and I hate it raw. My favorite fish for sushi is fatty tuna, so yummy.

I played WoW for 6 years, but I don't think it had much effect of my weight. My weight went up and down when I was playing I was had some eating and self esteem issues when I was a young teen, so I didn't eat much. The only think about WoW and food that I noticed was that I always had 2 12packs of diet soda next to my…
