THIS!! I'm determined not to cave and buy something bad while I'm out at the store later. I have the worst impulse-junk-buying habit EVER.

Weekends are hard, because my husband likes to snack. So I just give myself a limit - I can have ONE cookie with him at night, or ONE really bad meal over the course of the weekend. I still cheat, but I cheat with a limit, you know? I never just let myself go and drink a bunch of soda and eat bacon all weekend, lol.

Hahah! I agree! And mine really DOES lie! The scale at the doctor's office and gym read 145, and mine says 141. :( I get so excited every time I step on, and then I have to remind myself there's a 4lb difference. :(

My husband's grandmother is still alive. And active. And healthy. And FIT. In my family, no one has ever lived past 65, and that's the sad truth. I am determined NOT to let that trend continue. My parents are both in their mid 50's, and both are well on their way to following the family trend. I just won't do it. I'm…

I believe, to a degree. Or at least, there are some experiences I've had that make me believe. The most distinct was in an old house in Jersey we lived in for a few years. The whole family was in the dining room, and I was in my bedroom, stuck in bed after a double-leg surgery. My brother and I had, for years and years,…

"Oh, I had a baby, my body can NEVER be the same, ever! Now I'm just stuck with this belly fat and big arms!" Yeah. No. Not buying that anymore. No more excuses!

I'm still undecided on MoP. On one hand, Asian theme REALLY excites me. On the other hand, talent changes really... don't. Again. I quit playing for a while, came back, was pretty bored, and now I'm not sure if I want to cancel again or try MoP. My main issue, of course, is that with an almost-3-year-old, a husband, and…

Oooh, add me too. I need someone poking me about completing my food logs, lol. I get to the end of the day and go ehhhh... close enough. I have 2lbs to lose this next month at least, and a goal of 7 by the end of October, 10 by Christmas. Eek! Add me and we can help each other!

:) My husband is currently a recruiter for the Army here in NJ, and I can tell you he comes home all the time with stories about how he told someone months ago they needed to lose X amount of pounds, and they just came in having lost it. He's always very impressed with them, because it shows a dedication to the job. As a…

:) Please feel free to add me - I've got Hypothyroidism and am on 250mcg >_< I'm supposed to be seeing an endo, but my insurance is being a pain about the referral. Which reminds me - what does an Endo DO? Anyone mind enlightening me as to what they do besides dole out my meds? Cause this insurance thing seems like a lot…

I read - it was possibly on here, since I rarely go anywhere else - that as long as it's before breakfast and after you use the restroom - no drinking water or anything - it'll be as accurate as it can be. Just remember - as women, our bodies change a bit depending on time of the month!

:D Go shopping together - you look like you'd be fun to hang out with. :P

>:( My pet peeve are those people who HAVE to stretch out RIGHT NEXT TO THE HEAVY BAG. There's a whole huge mat for you folks - leave me some room to do a few kicks and punches! Also, the guy who likes to come over and tell me I look "adorable" when I'm all sweaty and working out. I hate you, sir!

I started it! ...And then got tendinitis right when I hit the 15-minutes-straight-running mark. Sigh. So depressing. My doctor says I may not be someone who can run, which makes me sad. I've never been able to run before, and I was really loving how strong and fit the change made me feel.

That's ok. There are people out there who may very well say I have no soul.

Ride with you in the stolen corvette ;)

I'm having the same problem, hah! What I did was make room in my diet and plan to eat some of the bad stuff I love, like ice cream and oatmeal cookies. I had to give up a few things to do it, but if I know I'm going to eat it later, the temptation to eat it all day is much less.

I *adore* peach tea. Like, absolutely love it, especially chilled in the summer - yum! Just don't get the pre-made kind - that stuff is so bad for you! lol

I tend to have a glass of water before I eat, and another after. I can't drink during a meal - I'm one of those people who eats one food on her plate at a time, and I never remember to take sips in the middle. :P

I know it sounds weird, but my sister developed an allergy to apples when she was 25, so it does happen. If it's a full allergy, you need to watch many of the foods you buy - there are so many that have apples hidden in them that you may not realize, drinks especially.

:) I'd love to share your journey with you. I'm aiming for 10 lbs first, then if that works, going for another 10. The goal is to be the best me I can be by the end of the year - losing all that gosh dang baby-and-laziness fat! - so I know that I, for one, need all the support I can get!

:D Welcome aboard! I'm new too, hoping this place keeps me focused. Feel free to add me if you want some more support! (We Mommies gotta stick together, right?)

I have two... well, sort of two. You'll see. First, the obvious one is on my left food down the side. See, I was going to school one dark morning, and was half asleep, and missed the bottom step... and shattered a bone in my foot. From missing ONE step! Sheesh! So they had to do surgery and put in a pin to make it heal…

I'm told it really doesn't matter, but I find running with food in my stomach makes me feel sick. :( I generally have something light - like a glass of milk or a protein shake before going out, then eat a light meal when I get back.

Every block is a different size, so it's hard to know for sure. :) If you really want to track distance, I'd go to just about any store and buy a pedometer, which tracks your steps and tells you how far you ran and how much time it took to do it. Just remember - when you start, the key is to go SLOW! You need to build the…

I actually prefer standard, because the digital is touchy about where and how you stand on it. I actually played with mine once, and moving half an inch to the side altered my weight! But then, I may also just have a really cheap scale. :P So now I use the traditional one at the gym. :)

I'm new too, and I'd love to be a support for you. :) Feel free to add me - gosh knows I can use all the support I can get too!

Name: Jenn Age: 25 Female RP? A little here and there, but not in a while. LARP? No, but I want to! What are your weightloss goals?! "Just" (as if it's ever really a JUST) 11 lbs... for starters. My ideal weight (before giving birth) was 122, but I really don't think i'm ever going to be there again - it would be an…

:D Yay for gamer girls! I played WoW for something like five years, before I had my little girl and lost the energy to be up all night raiding. ;) Now I'm into Rift... until GW2 comes out. I may actually start raiding again when I get to that point - who can resist the call of a no-subscription MMO? lol :) Good luck with…
