I have the fitbit zip that clips to your waistband, pocket, or bra. it's fairly accurate, and I like it because it rotates the display to show the number of steps, time of day, miles, etc., with each finger tap (or thump) to the display. the flex just shows a row of four or five round lights. your goal is to make all of…

jillian's dvds are really good at working everything - regardless of the title. even in her yoga meltdown dvd, there are sets of squats and lunges. (yoga meltdown is one of my faves, but it might not be what you are looking for.) I would say it depends on how much time you have. the no more trouble zones and banish fat…

it's definitely an adjustment for the first few weeks. If I've eaten a well-balanced portion or snack, I just drink a big glass of ice water and tell myself to wait. inevitably, I will find something to keep me busy and the hunger thoughts (and sometimes grumbles) go away. if not, then I have a snack. on a side note - I…

I'm so glad you started this thread! I am getting a lot of great ideas! :) Thanks, All! I'll share some of my go to meals and snacks, too: - greek yogurt with a side of fruit or kashi granola bar - powdered smoothie mix w/water or skim milk - pistachio or almond snack packs - edamame or roasted chickpeas - apple and peanut…

seriously inspiring photos and words. being open about the lows and the highs give me (and others on MFP) the motivation to keep on keeping on. just knowing someone else is going through what we are/have been going through. thank you for sharing! i am so happy for you and for your courage, determination, and happiness!

wow, bluesdivaca. that sounds like a terribly stressful situation, and I can certainly understand you freaking out and wanting food for comfort. those are the days when it is most difficult to get out of bed and try to make 'the right' decisions. I admire you for all you have done in this fight. In no way am I qualified to…

i, too, am participating in my first half marathon this year. it is in december. notice - i said participating. i haven't even run a 5k, but i felt the need to sign up for this half marathon as a big fat motivator to get in shape this year. so far, i've only done a walk/jog for two miles twice a week. (i wanted to drop…
