Same. I'm kind of all over the place. PC - Starcraft 1 & 2 XBOX 360 - Left 4 Dead 1 & 2, any DLC PS4 - Plants vs Zombies Wii U (current) - Super Mario Maker 3DS (current) - Animal Crossing: New Leaf Gave up WoW like 9 years ago. Thought about going back, but I feel like it's been too long.

Today I finished day 3, following the beginner calendar. I was on a very long laziness binge/workout hiatus and I wasn't really sure how to get back to a routine. All of the infomercials for Cize kept catching my eye so I finally gave in. It's a lot of fun and easy to follow, even though I'm highly uncoordinated. Normally…

Struggling. Talks of layoffs and resignations at work, so I'm trying to stay focused without worrying. Ate well yesterday, but had a big greasy lunch today so I will work extra this week to make up. Need to start planning and packing lunch for work!

Thanks for getting this group started, I'm excited!

Hi!I am happy for you that you made the decision to live your life now, to the fullest. I grew up with food as a companion, and I only realized that very recently. I have always been overweight. I would always tell myself that I would try things that interested me "when I lose weight", and I would try to lose weight…

I'm struggling with the same issue. I'm reading a lot of responses with really good advice. However, for some like me, it's not always as simple as "don't do it." Sometimes, it's more mental/emotional. I eat more when I am alone, especially snacks (chips, candy, desserts). Took me a while (decades) to realize it is more…

This made me smile. :)

@jemhh - I agree with choosing three things to start and sticking with that. Thanks for the book recommendations for lifting, I'm glad you mentioned it because it's something I'd like to learn more about. I'm shy/intimidated about asking a trainer for advice at the gym. @jacksonpt and @jorocka - Right now my goal is to be…

@bostonwolf - Also there, their, and they're. :) I appreciate the advice, and I am going to try to start with that - 3 days a week - and commit until it is a habit. Last night was my first night back in the gym. It took a LOT of convincing not to just stay home and "start tomorrow". I only stayed for 30 mins on the…

@kjflaherty - I love Zumba and was sad when I stopped going last year. I purchased a class pass at a local studio, so I'm going to try to include that as my cardio once a week. It is intense for me because of my size, but plenty of fun and I love the feeling of finishing a class. Thanks for the support! @aggelikik - You're…

Hi dairyfree2015. I attended my first meeting last night, I'm glad you posted this so I can check out the groups as well (thanks also to loconnor466). I had a great experience, and I'm looking forward to finding another meeting to attend this week.

Beginner - Carl Super excited! :happy:

Awesome thread, I've been planning for this last quarter as well. It's going to be a tough one. 1. No Starbucks. I was going every day, sometimes twice a day. Time to save money and calories. I'm going to start brewing coffee at home again and making better decisions for breakfast. 2. 30 minutes at the gym before work, at…

Hello there. I posted about this in another thread http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1214502-belviq-will-it-be-safe-or-will-i-be-sorry Like JodieDees said, talk to your doctor because they will be able to account for your medical history. A free trial is available as well, with a prescription. That's how I got…

A bit of a long post, but hopefully it will be helpful. I am taking Belviq as of today, so I will check in with the progress and side effects. Note: I have type 2 diabetes and PCOS, so I am also on Bydureon, Metformin, and a low dose Lisinopril for good measure. When I heard about Belviq, I talked to my doctor about it and…

Thank you for this! I was doing fairly well with early morning workouts, but eventually fell off the wagon. Just plain laziness. I'm ready to get back into the habit, and your list is totally motivating me. Thanks again!

I'm in the city, Andersonville/Edgewater/Ravenswood area... where the good restaurants are :laugh: :heart:

i'm down. literally ;-) i like dolphin plank personally but it will be fun to try variations. :)

When I was diagnosed a few years back, the doc started me on Byetta 10mcg 2x/day and Metformin 1000mg 2x/day. Had some nausea for the first week but got over it quickly. After a while the Byetta was taking a toll on my wallet so the doc switched me to Victoza, which was about $30 cheaper with insurance. I noticed that I…

My husband and I are going to try to sign up. We've walked the Earth Day 5K in Humboldt Park and ADA Step Out by Soldier Field in the past, but never tried running. I believe I read somewhere that they "encourage" 15 min miles though. I'm going to start training to be able to run/walk the entire course. Don't care much…

in my experience so far, cravings can be like an annoying younger brother or sister. the more you try to ignore them, the more they bug the *kitten* out of you until you cave. i'm trying to learn moderation as well. i find that working out harder and eating better makes me think more about what i crave and how much i can…

The hubby and i usually go out for breakfast on Sundays (our only day off together) - and we looooove skillets.... which basically use up a days worth of calories in one shot. :embarassed:

A few years back I went on a very restrictive diet - no white bread or rice, no beef, pork, chicken, and nothing fried. While it worked wonders on the scale, I was unhappy all the time and I went from 44DDD to 40D. Then I got married and the diet went out the window. So now I'm trying to implement actual life changes:…

Like the other posters, I'm also a fan of almond milk, especially the dark chocolate one by silk - it's an amazing treat. I'm with you on dietary inconveniences though. Mine include lactose intolerance, high sensitivity to soy, watermelon, canteloupe, honeydew, bananas, avocados, and cuties clementines, then all the other…

I'm bringing [dragging?] my hubby tonight too! It's really a lot of fun, be prepared to sweat and that's just within the first song! As I'm sure the instructor will tell you, don't worry about nailing the moves the first time, and if you get lost just remember to keep moving. :happy:
