Chipotle is like subway meets burrito. You can go in and build your own tacos and burritos...I don't care for them personally.

I have lost 20 lbs and some of my jeans are rather baggy on me and my scrubs for work were getting too big. I altered the scrubs as much as I could but a couple pairs were still falling off me anyway. So I went to buy new ones and the store I got them from sells used scrubs on consignment and I left the old ones there and…

I first noticed it with a salad from applebee's!!! I seriously think there is something like the opposite of the sensa sprinkles that ADDS calories to food!!! I can't imagine how salads, side veggies, etc can be so much higher in calories when you go out to eat than if you were to have prepared the same meal at home!!!

I'm not one to wear skirts/dresses when I know alcohol will be involved since I'm rather graceful! :laugh: So anyway one day I was discussing the matter with another graceful friend of mine who also always complained that the only guys she ever met only wanted one thing. So I told her that maybe part of that was from…

I live in Arkansas and I can't tell you how many of those things I see on the road on the way to my parents house. They live maybe 2-3 miles out of city limits. I don't mind spiders as long as they are the size of a quarter or SMALLER!! But even driving those things freak me out!!! We also have alot of scorpions around…

I was going to recycle a previous costume this year but didn't realize how much weight I had gained since college. So I went to the halloween store and took some in to try on based on a guess of what might fit. I took in a M/L and a Large just like you and was in the same boat!!! The M/L fit but the large was too big!…

I guess I should have made that a little more clear....your right 1 lb = 1 lb no matter what its made of but if you fill say 1 cup with fat and 1 cup with muscle the cup with muscle will weigh more. That's why you can lose inches without necessarily losing weight.

I'm not a college student anymore but the weight I gained in college I truely needed. It wasn't til a year after grad having to move back in with my parents that it hit me and I gained about 30 lbs. I have the same issue with going to the gym only I don't know the people there but I see several older women (the one's where…

Not sure of your exercise routine but I hear people say things like this all the time. Even my own dad has said this recently that the scale isn't moving! The last time he was in the size pants he is now he weighed less. The difference now is he is more fit than we was then. Muscle weighs more than fat so where you may be…

bump I found an article the other day that is a similar program as C25k just in different intervals and a little longer. I am at work now and the article is at home so I will try my hardest to remember to find it and post it for you. There is no right or wrong way but this plan may and may not appeal to you better than…

when I was younger I liked hershey's syrup (just a little bit) in cottage cheese and used it to dip plain ruffles chips in. The thought now repulses me to even try it again. I love olives..all kinds...and could eat them like they were going out of style. I also loooooooooove grilled cheese!!

I haven't eliminated anything and I have lost 20 lbs. If I want some carbs I eat them or whatever I'm just learning to do so in moderation. I have actually fallen off the wagon and I'm finding it very difficult to regain my motivation but I have discovered that I am maintaining my weight without tracking my food. So I…

Oh yea! "We're American! We don't plan...WE DO!!!" --Colonel Custer (Night at the Museum 2) ETA: I don't mean anyone to take offense in this...it is in a movie....but the underlying statement gets me!! Don't "plan" your workout...just do your workout!!

I know they both talk about God but what can I say sometimes that motivates me. "The will of God will never take you where the grace of God will not protect you" Refuse to fall down, if you can't refuse to fall down, refuse to stay down, if you can't refuse to stay down, lift your heart to heaven, ask that it be filled and…

I watch things like pawn stars but I actually learn things while watching that! And I love the history quizzes they give before commercial and give the answer when they come back from commercial. So reality TV like that I am all for. The towing crap and the like are dumb. Unfortunately I have watched them several times…

My problem isn't saying NO. My problem is people not listening to NO or any other phrase mentioned (or similar). So I wind up getting mad because I have to say NO in some way at least 10 times and then I wind up chewing them out because they don't listen and then I feel bad and they think I'm grumpy.

I will jump in for the support but I have recently found another interval program that I am going to try instead of C25K. I found it in a magazine but the c25k thing doesnt seem like it's working well for me right now.

I agree with what the above poster said but something else that helps me is to set mini goals. Like when I lose 5 lbs I'm going to get my nails done, etc. I have also seen people set up money jars so if they slip up they pay into the jar or whatever then at their ultimate goal use the money for new clothes. So there are…

I won't say wayne newton, but I listen to a lot of hank sr, alabama, restless heart, blackhawk, sawyer brown, johnny cash sometimes....the stuff that was on country radio in the early 90s...today's stuff isn't so much country as pop.... as for TV i still watch andy griffith reruns, i dream of geney (sp?), i love lucy,…

Aside from my truck would be a $250 Dooney and Bourke purse (and sadly that was the sale price) but I have carried it almost daily for the last 2.5 years at least.

my daily driver is a 2001 chevy s10 ext cab 4x4 with 107k on it my project truck is a 1971 chevy c10 flatbed with a granny 4 speed with the original inline 6 cyl with 110k on it ETA: my live in boyfriend has a 1995 chevy silverado ext cab 4x4 with 236k on it and a 2010 chevy camaro ss 6 speed with 25k on it

I think some of this comes from the fact that most people don't always know all of the things you have to go through before getting surgery. You have to prove you can lose and change before surgery. And then after (at least with some facilities) you are still required to go back for progress reports basically. And some…

Here's the deal. Weight loss no matter how you do it is a life style change. Surgery is a tool. And you know what you have to prove to surgeons that you can make this change and go through months of logging food and psych evals and everything else before they put you on the table to operate. So by making the effort before…

I don't necessarily have an issue with caffeine but there are certain energy drinks that I cannot drink because it causes my heart rate to spike and I get PVC's randomly. it can take anywhere from a couple hours later to the next day for me to experience it. For that reason alone I refuse to try 5 hour energy. I don't know…

I have actually been terrible at logging lately but I have still been weighing and I am at least maintaining. So by that I feel that hopefully maintaining will be a smidgen easier than gettin this last 10 lbs off. But it does definitely suck to start losing motivation when your body wants to defeat you! LOL

I get that sometimes...not to that extreme by any means. But it does make you wonder why people can't live and let live!! It's like ok so if I brought a bag of baby carrots for my snack and offered them and they said no should I jump their rear end for not accepting it!?!?

walmart carries packages of the rubber things to put on the band...there are like 5 in a pack, different sizes and thicknesses. Good and cheap alternative to resize

Just as a heads up you most definitely want to check out college requirements! It was required for me to get a menningitis (sp?) vaccine in order for me to move into the dorms (and those were the only students required at the time) because it can have such a quick on set and people think they have a cold or flu so don't…
