I'd love to join the group, if you still have room. :smile:

This helps... I use a free iTrain app that offers a guided treadmill workout. It helps stave off boredom and definitely keeps me working out my hardest.

Eric, You seem like an intelligent, confident guy and I'm sure you'll make the right decision, but my vote is on the shoes!! Although, I much prefer to do my shoe shopping in person vs online... Happy Shopping!! :happy:

Well done! We are cut from the same cloth!

I LOVE thrift and consignment store shopping! I used to HAVE to shop in these stores due to limited finances, but now that I can afford to shop anywhere I want, I still do the gently used option! I have had some amazing finds too! New with tags, brand name items, amazing vintage pieces and inexpesive wardrobe staples while…

Great job! You are right about the scale not being the end all, be all! Keep up the great work and enjoy your summer rocking the itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka dot bikini!

You are amazing! Your story touches my heart and your tremendous attitude is inspiring! Thank you!

That's something along the lines of what I would have done...

Bummer! I guess I missed out too! If anyone else that missed out would like to create another group, I'd be happy to participate and help out as much as I can...

Hello! I read about this on Tuesday and after thinking long and hard about it, I decided I could really do this! I hope that the group isn't full yet...

When we were kids and on a family road trip, my dad would let one rip and then lock the window controls and then wait until someone noticed the smell. We'd be in the back seat gasping for air and carrying on like it was the worst smell ever. Cracked us all up! The worst was when my older sister would eat fried eggs... her…

I :heart: your family! Mine is the same way... When our youngest daughter was three, our oldest daughter waved her over close, told her her butt told secrets and turned her butt to her little sister's face and let one rip. Nearly 15 years later, it still cracks us up! We put the fun in dysfunction!

You rock!!

In the middle of a very quiet vinyasa flow yoga class while moving into downward facing dog! :blushing:

Great reminder! Thanks for sharing! And congrats on the continued progress toward your jeans fitting!

Here, here!! Great attitude and advice!

Speaking as a typical woman, YOU ROCK!! Well put!

You look great! If you want to amp up the cleavage, go buy a few Victoria's Secret bras that lift and shape. That's my plan if I drop below a C! (If I get smaller than a B I may go in for some boob enhancement surgery... I'll deal with it at the time, if it happens.)

Me too!! Be consistent with attire and time of day. Before MFP, I used to weigh once a month, at the same time of the month, coinciding with the end of my cycle. I have gotten less hung up on having to perfectly recreate the exact experience each time and just track it weekly so I know how my choices are impacting my…

My sentiment exactly!!

Waxing isn't that painful and it is great not to have to shave or tweeze for 4 - 6 weeks!! That being said, I don't get my legs waxed, yet... I am lazy in the winter and shave only when I have to... and since I am married to a wonderful man that doesn't really care about leg hair, I basically don't shave my legs from Nov…

If I am working out late, I eat before and then have a protein shake and a piece of fruit after. It's a habit I got into while working with a trainer and I just continued it...

I am in the same boat. My scale has been steady for the last 6 weeks. AT least I'm not gaining.... Things are finally slowing down at work so that I can fit in a few trips to the gym and not rely only on my 3 mile lunch hour walks. I am also increasing my calorie target so I have more fuel to workout. In the past, I have…

Finally got them done!

This was is a cool idea! :happy: Thanks for starting... Age: 43 Gender: F Married? Y Kids? 4 (17, 18, 21 & 23) Goal weight: 145 would be nice, but I am more concerned with getting fit and toned. I want to be comfortable in my own skin and feel good in swimwear! Current weight: 178.2 Height: 5.4 Favorite exercise: Real…

Right now, I am using iTrain 6 Week Transformation, a free app that provides you with an audio, treadmill program as well as strength and flexiblility workouts on alternating days.

Count me in!

Challenge accpted! I'll do them at the gym tonite before my cardio session! Thank you for posting this.

I am so with you firstsip! I don't see myself accurately either. I own at least 10 swimsuits and I never, ever wear them because all I see when I look in the mirror is the fat... I stepped out of my comfort zone with pictures recently and let my husband take some before, after and progress pictures every 30 days while I…

Well said and I agree with you except for posting a picture... at least not yet! I haven't worn a swimsuit in years. It's not about confidence for me. It is about not liking what I see when I wear shorts or a swimsuit. I am working on this and eventually, I will post a picture on this thread... Thank you MissKortney, for…
