Honestly, I get almost all of mine from milk/dairy and chicken at dinner time. If I have a day I can tell I won't hit my goal, I scramble a couple of eggs. Yum!

:D I'm 5'4, age 26 trying to lose about 15 lbs total - 5 down, 10 to go! I warn you - I'm not a "clean" eater by any means. I give myself junk food at the end of every day if it fits my calories, because if I took it all away I would NEVER stick to this. :) Feel free to add me.

This was me at age 22 - mere months before I got pregnant and got the baby belly. :( I want to get back to this!!

Ha! I do squats to pick things up off the floor too! Most days I have dance competitions with my daughter for exercise - those "Just Dance" games are brilliant. I've also begun teaching her how to do pushups, since I fully intend to get her into martial arts with me when she's got enough discipline to stand still during…

Selena Gomez. Specifically the song at the end of the first Tinker Bell movie. My daughter adores both the movie and that song, and every time I hear it I have to go to another room. The girl can't hold a note for the life of her.

Whee, I get to tell my hair horror story! Haha. I'm naturally a light redhead. It's lovely, honestly, but I was 25 and wishing to wear bright, happy colors that always washed out my color. So I decided it was time for a change and dyed it brown. A light brown at first, because I am PALE, and I kept it that way for a couple…

Colin? Really? I get Ryan - sort of - but Captain Hair? Mine: Chip Esten Alistair. (I have no idea if he has a last name. I don't care. DA:O was all about Alistair.) Thomas (From, you know, Pochahontas...) And more conventionally, Adam Levine. Sighhh. Edit to add: For a short period of time, Anthony Wiggle. It's a parent…

To get rid of my "mom butt" and reduce my thigh size so jeans fit properly. :( Apparently when I gain weight, I turn into a pear, whereas when I'm slim I'm an hourglass. ;)

Lots and lots of water will help. Or a hot shower/bath.

Ahaha, my thoughts exactly!

I'm a night owl, so I'm right there with you. :) My little girl goes to bed at 7, and 5 or ten minutes later I'm in the living room, working up a sweat. I may be out of bed at 7 AM, but I'm not fully "awake" until noon, so evenings are my best time too.

I had three goals this year: 1) Get outside with my daughter more. It's been so darn cold I haven't even been able to get started on that one. :( 2) Get (and stay!) below 135lbs - I'm working on it! 3) Learn all 60 sets of kata for my karate class so when I more this year I can continue to train on my own, and maybe open…

Find a super fun class you can take with your son! Martial arts is good, and you can bet he'll keep you going even on days you don't want to. You'll get the exercise you need, and he'll learn to enjoy activities to keep HIM healthy as well. :)
-
Oooh, I'll join this! Weekly Goal: 3500 Mon: calories burned (how they were burned) Tues: calories burned (how they were burned) Wed: calories burned (how they were burned) Thur: calories burned (how they were burned) Fri: calories burned (how they were burned) Sat: calories burned (how they were burned) Sun: calories…

I spoke to my doctor about this very thing last summer, after a huge depressive episode. The end result was being placed on an antidepressant permanently - cymbalta, to be exact. Since then I've been able to manage my depression, and I found that my munchies were gone too. :) A nice side effect! The other thing he told me…

A calendar sticker chart?? Why have I never thought of that? That is a FANTASTIC idea! *Reminds self to print out a calendar.* I'm not even going to lie. I have two pictures I look at when I'm tempted to go over my calorie limit - one is me from four years ago, when I was at my peak fitness and 122 lbs, almost no fat. I…

When I first started, I decided not to tell my husband. I can casually turn down unhealthy foods, right? Wrong! Haha. He kept teasing me to go have some ice cream - he knows I LOVE ice cream. Finally I gave in and told him that I'm being careful about what I eat. I don't think he understands it still - he keeps talking…

First and foremost, if she's looking into a diet - if ANYONE is looking into a diet of any sort - she should go talk to a doctor. Her doctor will be able to tell her what a healthy weight loss for her is, more than any website or diet. There may be medical issues we don't know about, or maybe even that she doesn't know…
-
This is one of my goals too. :D My husband is in the Army, and although he's not as fit as he once was, he's still a stick and only five inches taller than me. My goal is to get to a point where I weigh less than him again, like I did when we got married. :)

Scatman - I have no idea who sings it, but it's on my iPod. :P Supermassive Black Hole - Muse Defying Gravity - The Wicked soundtrack And as corny as it is: I'll Make a Man Out of You - Mulan Soundtrack

I'm a HUGE advocate of martial arts classes. Not only are you getting a great workout, but you'll learn how to defend yourself. Even if you're the sort who carries a gun, it's never a bad idea to learn how to break out of a grip or throw a punch without breaking your hand. :)

The way my doctor explained it to me, people in general don't usually NEED vitamins, unless they're eating extremely unhealthy foods. Most food is fortified with what we need, and it's even possible that taking a multivitamin and eating healthy together can be harmful. Our bodies simply don't NEED that many vitamins. If…

My little girl just turned three. I'm still fighting the baby belly. :P But then, I don't expect to get to my PPW either - I was SUPER fit, and tiny. 122 at 5'4, and a lot of leg muscle! There wasn't a pinchable spot on my body, aside from *ahem* the ladies. So I'm looking less toward hitting that goal than just losing the…

I quit 9 months ago after playing from Vanilla. I'd done it all - PVP, Raiding, questing 11 toons to 85. I was done. It was time to move on. And honestly, I find I don't miss it. It was fun while it lasted and I played much longer than anyone else I'd know, both in-game and out, but it was time to quit. There's only so…

You and me both! Let's be pals and poke and prod until we get each other off our behinds. ;)

:D 5'3 (well, technically 5'3 3/4, but whatever.) 26 SW: 147 CW: 147 (Sighhh. Starting back over. -_- )

Usually I listen to my body, but I just changed thyroid meds and went on antidepressants, and both make me incredibly hungry, so it's really hard to tell if it's ME or the meds. On a side note, the antidepressants got me back to a point where I can avoid cravings - yay! But anyway, so I was actually really glad to have a…

Oh, I do eat my exercise calories. I suppose I should have been clearer - on days I don't "officially" exercise, I tend to eat 1200 calorioes - meaning I don't wind up logging all the little playing I do with my daughter, or running errands or whatever. But I suspect you're right, and I need to be eating more. Hmm.

I was born (and mostly raised) in California, and my downfall is burritos and tacos. :( Right now I live in Jersey, and my downfall here is Taylor Ham. >_< lol. But ohmygosh, it's so good! I'd never even heard of it until I met and married my husband, but you can get it in any store or diner out here.
