How do we join? Accelerated BSN Nursing student here!

Stuffed shells are my favorite!

I just signed up for a new gym. 2 miles or 5 min away. Love it and was able to go this morning!

@JocelynDeshane I had it and I still so although I noticed it's way less now and I'm not the first to notice my own improvements. What really helped me is eating less junk and reducing salt/sodium. I have also lost a couple of lbs and that helped but when I really tried to not eat so much processed stuff is when I noticed…

Hahah the troll face

What equipment do you have?

@karintalley I just signed up yesterday! Beautiful gym, such an upgrade from my old one though more expensive but I think worth it!

I just learned there is a grand opening at an LA Fitness near me and it has a pool! Looks like I'll be switching over ;) sorry Crunch Fitness

I actually look forward to measuring everything each day. It's motivating me to stay on track especially after a plateau. I also love seeing how few calories veggies have but how high their nutritional value is! I'm learning so much with it.

That's what I need! Measuring spoons!

Awesome! Exacty what I'm looking to hear! I am so excited to start weighing and measuring my foods and are what happens. I have definitely stalled in my weight loss.

which do prefer? Is the garmin for running? I want to upgrade my ft4.

@GRITSandSLUTS did you buy them online? I bought a regular one from target but I heard the WW ones are great!

Congrats!! 60lbs is quite an accomplishment! I suck at eyeballing and am just realizing this!

@diannethegeek did you find you started to lose more weight after measuring?

@professionalHobbyist I also use a heart monitor. Polar ft4. Which do you use? It is amazing how different the calories burned show on the cardio machines on comparison to what is shown on the watch. I always have the machines show 70+ calories more.

@natabost YES! According to serving size I always thought I was a family of four

May I suggest everyone purchase a food scale!

May not be the coffee... Do you add milk? Or creamer? That may be the culprit.

@cheshirecatastrophe thank you! I will definitely try all of those suggestions, especially strengthening of my glutes and hips as those are my weak areas anyway. I think that may be a big part of it.

@marmaladepixie it's almost like a burning inside the knee difficult to explain but I think it may be the way I am running as I have began to feel pain in my upper buttocks/lower back area. It gets better as I go and I do make sure to warm up and cool down each time. I am wondering if any knee support wraps help?

Thank you everyone! I will definitely be packing lunch and will make sure to make time for the gym to destress!

I have been fitted but I'm probably due for new sneakers anyway. Thanks!

Thats a good idea! It'll also fold up easily in the thin lockers at my gym and machine washable...thats brilliant for gym clothes!

haha thanks but that was two summers ago! Thats where I'd like to be...13lbs lighter. =)

Thank you! I was looking at one of these: http://www.luglife.com/Puddle-Jumper-Overnight-Gym-Bag#.TrGDPUP7jKE ...but the price is twice as much as I'm willing to pay for a gym bag.

http://www.drugstore.com/organix-penetrating-oil-renewing-moroccan-argan/qxp336545?catid=183459&fromsrch=organix Moroccan oil by Organix is my favorite product. I have long thick bleached hair (years of highlighting have dried it out) and this is the only stuff that actually makes a difference. I have paid up to $47 for a…

That's a really good idea if you cannot get a workout in early. You have something to look forward to after your workout and I'm sure it helps you to make better choices for dinner. I also have a tendency to feel sluggish after I eat and fall into a food-coma.

I AGREEE!
