The first piece of jewelry my guy gave me for Christmas was a ring, and it wasn't the engagement ring I was hoping for. I was a little weirded out, but then realized that he was just trying to get me a pretty piece of jewlery and didn't think (because guys don't think about these things like we do) that it may have been…

Awesome! Your 9 minute miles are a lot better than my 17 minute miles (walking briskly, but down from 19 minute miles). I'm trying to get myself running (jogging really). It's a mind thing, though; I think I'm afraid of getting winded too quickly, being discouraged, and giving up. Running is my goal in 2013. I do a lot of…

Agreed. I've been enjoying a few classes that have physical and spiritual wellness in mind. I love "Yo-God, an Exercise in Worship." It's a yoga class with prayer and meditation. And also "Faith Fueled Fitness," a dance class that burns a lot of calories dancing to high energy praise music. You should check out churches in…

A good friend is TERRIFIED of balloons, completely and utterly. She can't stand to have them near her; the simple physical presence of balloons freaks her out to no end. It's not even the popping sound or the weird rubber sound they can make, it's their presence. Do not approach her with a balloon on a string in your hand,…

Love them! Seeing them TONIGHT for the first time. So excited!! :happy:

I didn't truly find my motivation until I really found love for myself. A lot of women say they don't have time for themselves because they give so much to husbands, children, family, friends, work, and activities, and I was one of those women. And I was ok with that because I really love those people so it's ok to put so…

I go up a pound in the week before, can't lose the week of, then am usually down 2 or 3 pounds the week after. It's a yoyo, but utimately evens out to losing a pound a week which is what I strive for.

I'm the same way. The best thing I've done to make myself get out of bed is turn on the light (there's one within easy reach while still in bed). That helps. A lot of people get the winter blues. The UV in sunlight actually causes a chemical reaction inside of our bodies that makes our bodies produce more of the hormones…

A can of Progresso light Veggie and Barley soup, and a ham sandwich: 320 calories. Satisfying and healthy.

Great shoulders, Zeraus!

Jacksonville, FL calling in! :) West Side to be exact, just outside of Downtown. I love J-ville, but really enjoy visiting Orlando and Tampa. Best wishes!!

Started at a tight 28. In a comfy 24 now. :happy:

50 pounds isn't THAT drastic; you can do it. I've lost 50 before, years ago when I was about your age. I've lost 68 pounds this go around (it's sticking this time; last time was just because I had a job that made me sweat but I didn't change my eating/activity behaviors so it all came back) and still have about 90 to go.…

Discipline or Regret

Yes! And because I really enjoy kayaking and hiking and power shopping and those things are easier when 10 minutes of it doesn't make you winded, but mostly becasue I REALLY REALLY like dessert.

I "put on" about 2 pounds every month! Usually the week before and the week of I am heavier than the other two weeks of the month. I also don't record the heavier weights. But it's a nice surprise to "loose" 5 pounds the week after. :laugh:

I've had that chemically taste twice and both times I notived the meat was shinier than it should have been. I think it was a little spoiled or it may have been like others have said on here and have been injected with "enhancements." I've had great luck with Lean Pork, though, especially the already flavored Hormel pork…

Tell me about this Insanity Challenge, please. :smile:
