i do need to drink more water, thanks for the tip. i will try that and see if that works! :)

thanks for the advice, and i am 28 and on birth control so my hormones should be pretty regulated. my skin is also on the dry side though when i was in high school it was pretty oily!

anxious to see how everyone else did! great results so far :)

i was so pumped about completing my first 5k post-pregnancy that i did it in 26:47! a PR for me! i outran my pre-pregnant self lol can't wait to hear how everyone else does! :)

so glad you posted this! maybe everyone here could do this, it would be great! thanks so much :)

absolutely!

sounds amazing and super easy! will be trying this!

i love tuna so i will be trying this soon!

I had a wonderful, filling lunch today for 290 calories: heated 5oz can of tuna (drained the water) with 2 tbs salsa and 1 tbs hummus then on the side 22 mini pretzel twists to dip in another 1 tbs of hummus. So yummy!

jalapeno hummus sounds amazing!

trying this tonight!

thank you so much! going to have to try and make my own.

this sounds amazing!

I am so very sorry for the loss your family faced. It is so very amazing to see that you have managed to make a positive come out of such a hopeless situation. That shows more than anything that you have everything and more within you that you need to succeed. Good luck and God bless my friend!

i love all your rewards! this is such a great idea and way to experience new things.

that's amazing! love your dedication and appreciate your want to serve! i have a lot of family in the military and i am proud of anyone who would even want to choose that lifestyle so bravo to you!

we just finished one of those at my office, but there are very few of us here so the only reward was bragging rights lol. the competition to see who can keep it off is a good idea!

several people have mentioned a tattoo as a reward and i don't know why i never thought of that! i got my second tattoo as a reward for signing up and completing my first race (it was only a 3k but hey it was a start!).

i love this idea for a daily reward to stay motivated! especially if i want to go out and smell really nice that evening!

oh i like this one!

by a tedious process of elimination usually. my baby was really fussy after almost every feeding. i knew my husband has an intolerance to milk so thats what i started with. once i eliminated it from my diet, no more fussy. her doctor confirmed and she's been great ever since.

There are a lot of evenings where I know how many calories I have left so I eat most if not all of them but don't end up logging the rest of what I eat. I need to get away from that habit, but not everything I eat is reflected.

agreed-it is part of my breakfast every morning! wheat toast, 1 tbs peanut butter, and an apple

my usual morning breakfast is a couple pieces of wheat toast with peanut butter and a medium apple

thousand foot krutch - move great running song! always gets me going!

I agree that proper footwear is a must! I thought I hated running until I got some actual running shoes instead of the old tennis shoes I figured were good enough. It makes all the difference in the world to have a correctly fitting and appropriate shoe for the job. They are so worth a little extra money! It makes the run…

your story is amazing and inspiring--thank you for sharing and way to go you!!

that's amazing! always good to see such great results for our hard work! :)

thanks for all the advice! i think i'm going to just stick with toning until i'm either satisfied that i have given it my best, or that i'm rocking a more tone physique. :)
