I say try it. From what I understand they can be kind of expensive, but it might be worth it to be able to fit it into your schedule. Also, you can learn a little about the other person before you meet them, and you don't have to waste a bunch of time finding out all those little details that might not come out right at…

I just had my first day ever in a weight room. starting NROLW. I was SO nervous. So went during a quieter hour and just got it done. It was a little uncomfortable, since it's a small room and it was only dudes, but now day one is over, and it will get easier (going will get easier, the work only gets harder!) I also…

Love the frowny face in the first picture. :P Keep up the awesome work, you look great!

I love quinoa, this looks GREAT. I sometimes dry toast the seeds before I add them to the liquid. It adds some to the flavor. :D

I'm in week 8 of P90X. I've seen some results, but not as much as I could have hoped for. I like it a lot, but I am getting a little bored with it. I also have had similar results with not improving my push-ups and pull-ups. When you don't get better at something like that despite all your effort, it can get a little…

haha. Don't forget the sunscreen.

Como no!?! It's all about dancing and moving the hips with attitude. Fun, and a hell of a work out. :D

Way to go! That's great that you're making whole life changes and feeling better. It shows. You look great, so happy! Congrats!

Well, If you enter your stats, goals and lifestyle type, MFP will help you keep track of your calories. Depending on the results you want, you're going to want to do cardio and weight training. You know what kind of workout you feel comfortable with (in the gym, in classes, alone at home, on the neighborhood track) If you…

I kinda like v-up roll ups.... hate fifer scissors. :P and Plyo is the one that takes me the most determination to turn on, but I feel the most accomplished when I finish it.

Push ups. If I could DO them and IMPROVE... I'd love them... but I've been trying and trying and they never seem to get easier! :D Also, Haaaaatteeee P90X yoga. :P Sorry Tony Horton.

I'm doing p90x too! I'll shoot you an add. :D

I had a medical evac during my service in El Salvador and got to go to Panama City. I met some volunteers, sounds like a pretty unique place to serve. Bienvenido al grupo. I'm doing c25k too, along with P90X. I am trying to get back a pre peace corps physique. :D To many tortillas and not enough soccer!

Kind of different, but back in college I used to put a little mark on my hand with pen so that i would see it any time I was reaching for a snack or something. A little reminder. Hah. Now I wear a cute ring on my snacking hand. :P

Always trying to make new friends and stay motivated. Feel free, anyone, to add me! :D

Looks like I got in late on the message board! But I'm from Albany, lived in Ashland for some years then lived out of the US..... and now I'm freshly back in Albany. :-P feel free to add me!

What type of weights are you using? How heavy are they? I've been trying to make my arms look better for some time now... maybe I need to up the weight. Good job, by the way, that's awesomeeee :happy:

Super single. After two great single girl years, it might be time for a change... But waiting for quality to pass by. :D

I'm starting C25K this week as a way to restart my long lost running abilities, and as a supplement to my weight training P90X days. Doing this with my 50 something mom, who has never run a day in her life. Pretty fun. :D We'll see how it goes!

I have a similar goal. And I'm starting at almost the same place. :D I'll add you!

GREAT work! That's really awesome. Only thing missing is a victory smile on your face!

Just finished my first recovery week of p90x classic today. Tomorrow, it's back to the really hard stuff. Still pressing play, but loosing my momentum. First few weeks I felt AMAZING. Tons of energy, pumped to get going every morning. All the sudden, by the end of week 3 until now my body feels achy and tired, and I feel…

Congrats! That's a huge step. I hope I'll be able to have such a great dressing room moment myself soon enough! :D

We're very similar, in terms of age and goals. I'm doing P90X which I love, and staying on top of my logging on MFP. It can be hard to stay motivated, but if you stay dedicated and celebrate all the little victories (not just lbs lost, or sizes down but also the number of minutes you can run, push ups you can do, etc)…

^ heyo! (but accurate. :P)

^ Nice. I always brush my teeth and drink a huge glass of water.

That's amazing! Congrats. What type of exercise do you do? I'll do whatever YOU'VE been doing. Hah. Way to go!

I'm Jessica. RPCV 2010-2012 fresh out of El Salvador. Stopped running once in ES because of the mean stray dogs and the staring men, now I'm back, trying to shed all the pounds I gained on two years of a corn based diet. :P
