270 minutes this week. :)

I think the program is very reasonable... It is targeted at people without running experience. I've had a handful of friends with no running background say great things about the pace of C25K. I am doing the program, but started somewhere in the middle since I've been jogging for awhile. I would just say from experience,…

I have tattoos on my feet, ankles, one on my back, and a chest piece. I'm designing some sort of sleeve currently. :) My chest piece is the biggest one I have so far- it hurt- but I love it. You can see most of it in this pic:

Love Zumba- I agree though- totally depends on the instructor. I've been to a few classes where I felt intensity was lacking. Love kickboxing... and Turbo Jam/Turbo Fire. Chalene Johnson is amazing! Recently tried BodyPump and I like that too. I want to try Piloxing- has anyone tried it? :)

Do you have a YMCA near you? I work for a program affiliated with the Y. They recently implemented a program called "Open Doors". Anyone can go in and apply for assistance with gym membership based on their income vs. expenses. They will adjust your fees based on your situation. If they number that they come up with still…

Agree: Wear headphones... or keep your middle fingers ready. :-P What a d-bag.

I DO say no...That's what I'm saying. But then I'm upset because it doesn't seem to matter how many times I say no, he keeps doing it! It's frustrating. And then we discuss it and it turns into an argument because he DOESN'T GET IT! He's trying to be nice. But his niceness isn't supportive. If you want to be helpful- bring…

Set out a couple of whole cucumbers and call it "Magic Mike" :) I can't even describe my excitement for that movie. LOL!

I read somewhere that a good solution for late night hunger is a serving of deli meat; it is protein and a serving is usually under 100 calories. It was also suggested that you could wrap the meat around a stick of string cheese. :)

I wonder sometimes if this is part of it... I know he does love me regardless, but I DON'T love me regardless. He has to recognize that I looked better 60 lbs ago. And ultimately, I'd like to lose another 25ish on top of where I was when we met... Wouldn't he rather have the girl that his friends think is good looking (and…

:laugh: How can we re-program it: "Jewelry makes wifey happy..." I'd take ca$h as well. Stop buying me food... and just give me the $10 instead!

LOL! @ your hubby eating the M&M's! The problem is... it is much harder to put fast food or ice cream in the cabinet! LOL! If it is something I can hide and let him or my son have- I'll do it... But when it isn't, I feel bad if I don't eat it... But I feel worse if I do... I have told him (more than once) everything my…

On a chocolate rice cake! Mmmm! (I also like to add a light layer of cherry jam) Double mmm! Another quick and easy PB idea is a scoop of ice cream or frozen yogurt with a TBS or 2 of peanut butter all mixed up. On a spoon with a little bit of granola to give it some texture. Last, but not least, I also love it on a small…

Name: Lauren State: Missouri Age: 27 Height: 5'7" Occupation: Teacher Favorite non-healthy food: Do I have to pick just one? lol! I am a pizza and ice cream kind of girl. Any big…

So guilty of this! It is hard to see food wasted... especially when it is something you really like! If you have a picky eater, this happens frequently! I started saving food for my son for lunch the following day (if there's enough) and if there's not, I have to take it straight to the trash or the sink. I also started…

I have a 7 year old... who is also accustomed to delicious treats. I just stopped buying the things I know I will crave. He doesn't ask questions- what we have is what we have. Every once in awhile at the store or gas station, I'll let him pick out a sweet treat... but there's only one. And he usually eats it right then,…

Pineapple Upside Down Cake Smoothie.... DELISH! 1 cup light vanilla soy (or coconut) milk 1 scoop vanilla protein powder Frozen pineapple chunks 5-7 ice cubes 1 TBS vanilla pudding (dry) mix

MODERATION! And making sure the carbs you choose are good ones. I don't want to waste my carbs eating a sandwich on white bread. White bread tastes like NOTHING. And it is a simple carb (higher sugar, lower fiber)... no real benefits! I know I'm going to be hungry again an hour after I eat that sandwich, which is…

I also did Weight Watchers for about a year. I lost weight... but it did seem to be slower than I thought was appropriate. And I was paying $40 a month for membership for mediocre results... MFP is freeeee! When I saw my doctor at the end of 2011 and we talked about Weight Watchers, she said that she wasn't a huge fan…

I have found FABULOUS low-calorie meal ideas for breakfast, lunch, and dinner on PINTEREST! Ohhh how I love that site. Here's an easy (AND DELIGHTFUL) lunch idea (I could eat this for dinner too) that I found Pinteresting... under 400 calories. BEAN AND GUACAMOLE BURRITOS 1/2 cup canned low-fat refried beans 1/4 cup salsa…

Ohhhh mannn! Movie theater popcorn is one of my all time faves! But...I can consume 1000 calories and 1500mg of sodium when I indulge- YIKES! I have trouble going to the theater without getting some, even if I think I'm going mentally prepared not to... The last few times I've gone to the movies, I've only taken enough…

This is like the story of my life... I get depressed and stressed about a situation in life... And then I eat to feel better.... Then I get stressed and depressed about what I ate... And then I eat more... And then I'm stressed and depressed because I gain weight. It is a vicious cycle. You just literally have to try and…

I also did Herbalife for a while...and I also thought it got SUPER expensive. I did some research and found that Walmart sold a soy protein powder (brand is EAS) that is pretty much the same ingredients as Herbalife... they only have chocolate and vanilla in the store... but those are the basics anyway! Most of the…

I just joined, so it looks like I missed the first half of the month challenge... lol! I don't care! I'm going to jump on board and make this a forever thing. :-)

This can make such a HUGE difference... but it is SO hard for someone who loves a late night bag of popcorn or bowl of ice cream (me). I would definitely classify myself as a late nigth snacker, but it is such a bad habit. I am committing to cutting myself off at 8pm. No exceptions! :)
