1) Water! I love water and drink so much of it and it really helps so I will continue this! 2) Running....I have started running some intervals during my walks. I will try to make them longer. 3) I averaged 161 minutes a day last week and 152 minutes before that, which is incredible now that I have figured it out! I will…

What absolute commitment! You should definitely feel proud! Those side by sides totally show the work effort you put into putting yourself and your health first! Love that your partner is in this with you!

I am in for 150!

Thank you for posting this woman who is highly evolved in recognizing the strength, resilience, and verve, that we all have as women! Here is to all of us taking the time to get there ourselves! The journey is the reward!

Water, water, water, water, and when you think you have drank enough, drink some more! Exercise too :)

CLEAN eating as much as possible with lots of variety and colors, lots of EXERCISE, TONS of water (Smart Water with Electrolytes after exercising). I also take Women's Multi Omega -3 Calcium/D Whey Protein

All hell broke LOOSE on this topic! I think I'm going to LOSE my mind the next time someone misspells the word LOSE. We are on a weight loss sight and most of us want to LOSE weight so our clothes will become LOOSE. I highly doubt anyone wants LOOSE weight unless they have a LOOSE screw. Please think before you play fast…

I am so impressed with all of you! So many of these I would not have thought to be my NSVs, but I am totally stealing your ideas and owning them :) Good for us! I put on my bra this morning to walk and it was loose so I put it on the third row of hooks and it was still too loose, so I got into my stash of old new bras and…

He is so right! I get up so many times in the night!

I am drinking Metroelectro or Smart Water everyday to get the electrolytes in as well! I love my water! I even like being in the restroom all day long because I know it is evidence that the water is making my body stronger by doing all those things you stated!

I already do 2 and 4, and I walk everyday, so I will try 3 and see if I can run for one mile without stopping. I did a 3.3 mile slow walk today and it took me 74 minutes so it was about a 22 minute mile. Sometimes I can walk a 18 minute mile, but this hundred degree plus weather is kicking my butt. I will add some weights…

These are all great suggestions! I have been increasing my walking each day and walking faster. I have run home when I get close. I am hoping to be able to run by the end of the summer :) Duct tape does work, but just use old bras and a friend because it gets messy :) Have your scissor ready :) My coach always taped me…

I am proud of all of you who met your personal challenge :)

I think the most important NSV's are conquering the mental issues that we all have that gets in the way of us feeling as strong and as beautiful as we are! Good for you!

The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins. ~Bob Moawad

I LOST FOUR POUNDS this first week of the Labor Day 2012 Weight Loss Challenge and my TOM starts in a few days! 20 - 4 = 16 16 more pounds to go.....I can do this with 9+ weeks left in the challenge. I hope I can do it by the end of July. I remember when I was fit and healthy and struggled to lose a few pounds and I would…

I lost thirteen pounds in the month of June :) Life is great!

I have logged in everyday, drank my water everyday, and walked about 20 miles this week. I love these challenges :) How much will I lose this week? Weigh in tomorrow :) Edit: I only walked 20 plus miles but I averaged two hours of exercise each day :)

I worked about three to four hours last night clearing land, hauling branches and logs, and fighting with vines, and finishing mowing the lawn, and I thought I was going to die when I finally came in at dark, took a shower, and crashed into bed. But I was up at 7 cleaning my porches, grills, and outdoor furniture. We are…

So true :) Thanks for sharing with all of us brides-to-be!

18 is young and you are young.....so it is a good time to get a healthy attitude. It sounds like you may have an eating disorder. Many of us on here have unhealthy relationships with food. Are you in college? Most colleges have counselors who can help and I highly suggest making an appointment to speak of your concerns.…

I am getting married November 2th! I have been looking for a group like this :) 5 more months!

You do look fabulous! I think you should take new pictures with your family and show all that confidence you have! Your baby will want those one day! I keep reading about this 30 day shred and I want to do it! I will have to google it :) Thanks for this morning inspiration!

I don't think you are a stalker..LOL. I appreciate your advice. I too was in the Military Police....how about that? We had drills for NBC training and got gassed and that was awful, but I don't remember the name of OC.....but I suppose it may have been. My fiance's son is in special forces and is back from his third tour…

I think you and your husband have a healthy relationship and you describe him as supportive and loving. I just think your timing is all wrong. It sounds like that is his time to wind down and relax and think of nothing and television lets him zone. Mentioning a small task ( the weight bench) to him probably signaled to him…

I lost my daughter and life has never been the same. I take everyday one day at a time and I keep really busy. So busy that I forgot to take care of myself. I am taking care of myself now :) Stay on your strong side.

Thanks! My sister told me the same thing, but I don't want to hurt the dog. I may consider it or get a new route. It is just so convenient to walk around the block as it is a perfect 5K and I want to start running again so I have been working on improving my time.

I am back safely! I did it! I walked by myself. I decided to start the walk with walking by the house of "the dog" and sure enough he came tearing out to the road near me and would not stop growling and barking until I passed the property. He is a great dane. I don't understand why people don't keep their dogs inside their…

My mini goal is to go walking on my own today. I always wait for my love to come home to walk with him because I want the comfort of conversation and a pal. The only thing that has me blocked mentally is that mean dog at the corner that always tears after me. I love dogs, but his dog is scary. I live in the country and…
