Depending on the year Connecticut can drop below freezing a lot or a bit, but when it does we don't leave the water running. Heck we have our thermostat set to 60 and considering the age of my house (100+ years old) the pipes do pretty well. It's probably just that in Georgia your pipes aren't insulated for cold…

Just over 50 days and about 13 pounds lost.

The dining service should have nutrition information posted on their website. At least my university does so I'm going to assume most colleges/universities do as well but don't quote me on that. If they don't make a suggestion to them that they should look into adding it. If they have it check it regularly and use that to…

You can keep it at sedentary, but eventually you will likely have to move up to lightly active. I know when I started exercising more and on a regular basis I plateaued and then gained due to lack of calories. Upping my activity level on the profile helped fix that. It all depends on what ends up working for you in the end.

I'm still here guys. I didn't check in last week because of vacation and a return to school. I'm still doing it but my dates are a little fudged right now so I think I'm actually a little behind. I have an application deadline coming up for my program of study so I'm putting a lot of effort into that right now. But I am…

But I have a doctors appointment on Tuesday so I might get some nice applause from the doctor. That's always nice. :) EDIT: Sunday is usually my weigh in day so I'm going to take…

I think the biggest part for me is getting on that track and no being alone as I start. I want to do it, I want to be able to run and not hear my high school PE teacher degrading me in the back of my mind. I guess I just haven't reached the point yet where I'm able to put that aside and just do it. And a gym membership is…

I still have to do Day 2 today since yesterday got entirely away from me. But after week 2 I couldn't do more than 15 Dips in the progress test. So I'm doing week 2 again for my dips but in the last column now. Those first 18 Dips I had to do Monday was torture, but >15 will come just keep working on it. If you have to…

As a fellow English major (I want to teach but I've taken way more lit courses than my degree requires, I'd switch my uni doesn't offer a literature major :() I know how you feel. Reading out of my Norton Complete Works of Shakespeare was awful. Don't even get me started on my British, American, and World Lit anthologies.…

W2D3 Check-in Dips: 11 Squats: 28 Sit-up: 50 I'll message my measurements on Sunday. Progress test tomorrow morning. Who's looking forward to week3/4?

cell phone, notebook, cup, nail polish, candle.

I swear by my WW scale. I actually think the commercial one is more accurate than the scales they use at meetings. Since it only has a couple people using it as opposed to goodness knows how many during meetings. When I was doing WW my home scale would say one thing and in the five minute drive up the street the meeting…

I'm closing in on my first mini goal which is to lose 5% of weight which will put me down to 266.1lbs. After that it's onwards to getting down to 253 which will be just under 10% and was the lowest weight as adult I have on record with my doctor and that was more than two years ago. I'm well on my way. :) Good luck…

bump. I'd really like an answer to this as well.

Wonton Soup. It has been my favorite thing to eat when sick for as long as I can remember. I usually get a quart and it lasts me a couple days. Yes it is salt heavy because it's chicken and beef broth mixed together. But you're get starch and protein and some vegetable love through the scallion. And possibly some extra…

Week 2, Day 1 Dips: 9 Squats: 19 (slightly bummed I did fewer than last Friday, but it just means I keep working on it) Sit ups: 40. Push up: also 9 and considering I couldn't do more than 4 or 5 in a row in high school that's quite the accomplishment. So sore, still hating dips, and wondering how on Earth am I going to…

Hi Meghan, I'm Briana, I'm 22 and have just under 120 lbs to lose. I started out at 280, so like many other poster I understand how daunting it feels to start this journey to better lifestyle habits. And I'd like to become friends and support one another. We can do it.

Saturday Successes: I managed to complete my food diary with less than 2500mg of sodium consumed three days this week. One less than I would have liked but three days is a good starting point. Especially now that I've discovered Kellogg's Frosted Mini Wheats has no sodium in a serving at all. Looking forward to another…

Sit ups: 31 Squats: 20 Dips: 7 Push-ups: 7 Measurements coming tomorrow. Oh man can I feel those sit ups in my abs, but it's such a good feeling. :)

yes_i_can when we check in Sunday, are we giving you the numbers totaled from all five sets or how many we were able to do consecutively in set 5? just so I know exactly what numbers I'm giving you. But whoo Week 1 is done!!! Time to celebrate with huge glasses of water.

I walk at least once a day for about a mile for about 17-25 minutes depending on if I'm walking alone or not. I usually am a little slower than 18 minutes if I'm on my own and I'm giving myself a good push. Looking forward to being through week 1 tomorrow. I'm really hating those dips.

I am trying, I'm rolling back the time I get up a little bit everyday. And today well I was awake before 9 (just not out of bed yet but tomorrow is another day :)) Slow progress. I'm really looking at what I can do to make my food choices better and oh man dinner is like the hardest meal of the day 3x a week because I do…

Hey Ali. I started a couple months ago and would love more friends on here to cheer on and be cheered on by. So feel free to add me.

Chai Tea. It's a black tea and I love it. Bigelow's has a nice one and I plan to stick a few tea bags in my bag starting in September so I can have my caffeine fix on campus.

Might sound sort of kid-like but I take Vitafusion Multivitamin Gummy Vitamins. I hate the after taste of the green tea pill in other multivitamin packs have. I find this works a lot better for me and it doesn't make me feel sick to my stomach either. And you get twice the daily amount of Vitamin D. The only thing it…
