BUMP! Gonna try this one tomorrow night :)

I have my first half ever in Feb!

And, according to the U-T, "Officials say the chemicals are expected to burn off rather than cause an explosion".

They couldn't get through the house safely. There were explosives and massive amounts of clutter everywhere... From everything I've read, this was pretty much the only option.

Yes, strength training is very important. Like you, I have been pretty much focused on cardio for a long time now (I'm a runner). But I am about to start adding some strength training to my routine to give myself an extra boost and to tighten stuff up!

I officially weigh in once a week... on Tuesdays. But I usually check it every other day or so.

I asked for 30 day shred for Christmas. If you want to try that when you are done with all of this, we could do it together :)

Aww I am so happy for you!!!

Do you eat back your exercise calories? With that much exercise you might not be getting enough calories and actually slowing your metabolism down. I know it sounds weird but you have to eat to lose.

Your belt doesn't even hold up your pants anymore :) Happened this morning. Mildly annoying but I can't think of a better reason to have to buy new pants!!!

So true. Best of luck to you MiloBloom, and Tara... way to go girlfriend! So proud of you :)

I am interested in the 15k. Will let you know within the next few days :) But unfortunately I can't do the Jingle Bell with you beautiful ladies. I just checked my running group and we are due for 10 miles that day. I've never gone that distance before so I should probably stick with them. Hope you have fun though!

I'm logging... even if I go way over. I know that I need to hold myself accountable, even on the worst days. I also entered a 5k that morning to give myself a few extra calories :) .

I run between 11-12, usually. :) So this could work out very nicely! I'll keep you updated, but I'll probably sign up :)

I will think about it... the only thing is I'm training for a half marathon and I need to see where my running group is at that weekend. If we are repeating mileage we have already done then I can probably do it, but if we are doing a new distance I should probably go to that. Hmm, it does sound pretty fun to do a run with…

My company's Christmas party is the night before... I don't think I'll make it to the Jingle Bell lol.

Nike Lunarglide +. LOVE those shoes. I have to get them in men's size because I have wide feet, but they are so comfortable and light, while providing stability at the same time.

UGH if I were staying in town on Thanksgiving I so would. That is about my pace too and I love 10k's!! Maybe another race?

Opinions... Making cupcakes this weekend for a friend's birthday... Devils Food Cake + Diet Dr. pepper/ Coke Zero/ Cherry Coke Zero. Which one of those sodas should I do?? Which have you tried and loved? I am going to pair it with the vanilla frosting (vanilla pudding + coolwhip). :)

Mmmm, I love a good glass of wine. Are you a red or a white girl? I like whites mostly, but I love when that perfect red comes along. Hahaha listen to me... *WINO ALERT*. Anyway, I agree with everyone else... just make sure you budget for it and I see no problem! And drink water because alcohol dehydrates ;)

Thanks!!! Great advice! We will be in DC at the same time it sounds like ;)

Oh, the biggest advice that I have is to measure EVERYTHING when you make yourself dinner. I know it is a pain in the butt, but it makes a difference, and actually you would be surprised at how satisfied you can get from a much smaller portion. I used to eat a bowl or two of pasta and get stuffed, but have recently found…

Oooh, I just found out that the place we are staying has a full kitchen in it. Excellent... that should make it a bit easier!!

Hey Trina! Welcome to the site! I've been on it for 2 months now and could not be happier. It's a great tool as I'm sure you will find out!!! We have really similar weight loss goals, so if you want to be friends, add me and we can support each other. It's really a lot more fun that way!! :)

I have a plan. I am going to limit myself to ONE serving. I normally get lots and lots of helpings, but since I have to log it I am going to have one, portion controlled serving of everything I want. Unfortunately at my boyfriend's family's Thanksgiving, which is where I will be, they ALSO do appetizers before the meal.…

Grande Skinny Vanilla Latte... it's like 240 calories and soooooo delicious.

Hey girl, I'm 21 and just graduated school. I have about 33lbs left to lose (after losing 10 already). I'm from CA but I have family in MN and LOVE to visit there. Add me if you'd like... love the support that I get from people and I love to support them too! :)

Girl, the same thing happened to me yesterday. I got invited out to lunch at a pizza/brewery and could NOT resist the pizza. I ended up having negative calories by dinner time. It's a bummer. And I haven't worked out in a few days either... even more of a bummer. But guess what? It happens, and tomorrow (or today, in my…

Fish oil helps clear up skin?

I think cookies are really nice because you put the effort in to make them. Another idea: If you know of a place, you could also get her a gift certificate an inexpensive massage or a mani/pedi, with a note that says something like "You are always taking care of everyone else, now it's your turn to be pampered!"
