If someone could screenshot that screen and send me a picture the next time they finish a day of C25K, I'd be so grateful! :)

I thought the eliptical was a really good first choice for me. It wasn't so hard that I got discouraged and quit, but it helped me to work up my endurance to where I could start running and doing other things as well. I would also highly recommend finding a class you like - for me it was cycling. When working out is fun,…

Add me as well! I love supporting others and being supported through MFP :)

Keep at it! I'm a vegetarian too, and I think getting enough protein is reaaalllly important... to keep you feeling full too. I've been a vegetarian for 10 years, but when I started working out regularly last year, I suddenly craved meat so bad. But now I make sure to get enough protein, and I'm doing better! And remember,…

Hey guys, this is my photo blog! With a little bit of personal blogging mixed in... http://www.tumblr.com/blog/lissymae11

@gogojodee I love country! I like a lot of other stuff though too.

@gonnabethinan - pop?

great job! you put in a lot of hard work! also, i see you're a red sox fan :) go sox!

saaaaaame here...

Apparently my mom used to use one with my brother... she only started after he ran away in crowds numerous times... and the time we were on vacation, and we got out of the car and he sprinted through the gate and jumped into the deep end of the pool... he was only 3, couldn't swim... so i understand.

i'm 20. 3rd year in school :)

I think some of it is also just like, the way we were told it's supposed to be. Like, the guy is supposed to be older, stronger, the protector, the bread-winner... aaaaand, taller. they're just those old stereotypes. They go both ways... about both men and women, i mean. (women are supposed to be caring, thinner, pretty,…

you can put yoplait whips yogurt in the freezer, and they're delicious! also, i like to eat frozen fruit, especially frozen blueberries. I usually get Wyman's "Fresh Frozen Wild Blueberries"

I've never used it, but my dad used to cycle a lot, and I know he carried around pepper spray. He did use it once, and from what he says it was pretty effective. Though in some states (like here in Mass) you have to get a gun license in order to carry pepper spray...

I'm 20 and I have a 17 year old brother. For the longest time I would get "so, how's your older brother doing?" Or "Oh, did your brother give you a ride today?" And I can't even tell you how many people think we're twins!

Well, as far as the chemistry of it goes... i believe that breaking up the h20 would require an input of energy. Therefore, your body would be USING calories to break down the water. Not totally sure, but that's my understanding...

I can speak English and Spanish, and a fair amount of German. I took one semester of ASL (honestly I only remember a little bit) but I'm hoping to learn Portuguese next :)

wow. amazing progress. you're beautiful before and after :)

When I was 3 years old I named our first cat Hoagie (I wasn't aware at the time that a hoagie was another name for a sub) Since then, we've had Daisy, Nina, Meetzee and Misty.

I think it sounds great! People should be happy for you - and who doesn't love a party? :)

Honestly, I just browsed your pictures, and I think you look hispanic! Generally I think of dark hair, olive/darker complexion, dark eyes, you know? Of course, there's variety, as with any cultural group. Sometimes people ask me if I'm hispanic lol (I'm not). I tell them the closest to hispanic that I am is Portuguese, and…

1/4 cup of powdered confectioner's sugar only has 120 calories... so sometimes I dip strawberries in that. Not bad as far as calories go, but it's probably better for just a once in a while thing because it's a lot of sugar lol.

I feel the same way. I always wanted that friend that I could tell anything to - that was like my sister. And although I have some close female friends... when I try to tell them things they often seem like they don't care :( I find it much easier to make guy friends - and my guy friends are great. But there's definitely…

someone told me i look like fergie. i'm not a huge fan, so i wasn't too pleased. but i guess we kinda have similar facial structures? high, round cheekbones?

I've been there too, and I have to say, getting healthy and exercise is definitely the best anti-depressant! So congrats to you for getting that in line! And you have had amazing progress! Just keep going, and remember that tomorrow is always a new day :)

Morningstar Farms makes great meat substitutes! I especially like the crumbles, which you can put in tacos and things like that...

Someone already mentioned this, but frozen yoplait whips yogurts are delicious! Also, I used to eat just frozen blueberries out of a cup. You could put some whipped cream or cool whip on it (not the healthiest, but i'm sure it's better than just eating the ice cream) Some people thought it was weird, but I loved it!

central ma, and go to school in boston :)

add me! almost 20...

I think it's natural as well. I'm from the Boston area, and while I don't consider myself to have a very thick accent, I do tend to say "wicked" a whole lot more when I'm with other Bostonians! Also, when I'm mad or excited, the r's tend to get dropped a little bit more... When my friend calls her mom, she suddenly has the…
