something you can try on the day of your presentation is to put saline solution (eye drops) on your pimples...i read that it will reduce the redness and swelling. never did try it myself, but it's worth a try. mary kay's acne treatment gel worked very well for me when i was breaking out a lot. it's only $7 too, so pretty…

Yeah, I wondered if it might be the pace...I have been running the same pace since week 1 though. is it normal to have to decrease your pace as the weeks progress. I'm only running at a 5.0 right now and decreasing would put me further from running an actually 5k in 30 minutes (which would require 6.0). I guess I will just…

I concur, Inception!!

i know, about half of my boxes actually have codes. it's annoying that they have this promotion going, but don't get boxes with codes out there. you have to email them and type all the information on the box to get them to send a code and you have to save all boxes because the fine print says that they can make you show…

Alexander!!! So bad...

I'm in the same boat. I'm not a morning person at all and it's hard enough for me to get myself and a 6 and 2 year old ready, drop them off and get to class by 9:30! I can't imagine having to get up any earlier to fit in exercise. I end up doing mine late at night. Not sure if it's bad for me or not...I have heard that it…

I track carbs, fat, fiber, sodium and sugar.

I also have the FT4. The other models have a few more bells and whistles, but the main thing i wanted was to see my calories burned and this model does that amazingly! i bought mine new from amazon for about $63 i think.

I have this model as well and I LOVE it. It's so nice having a more accurate calorie count than mfp estimates. Sometimes I burn more and sometimes less. Chest strap is definitely as must, though. I'm so used to mine, sometimes I forget to take it off for a little while. lol. I think this is a great model for a decent…

hey i think it's a big deal! i can't wait until i can say that...if ever!!! ;)

Hmm...that sounds like a local pizza place they have here in Indiana. Pizza King. Very thin crust and cut into squares. Their specialty is Royal Feast. Mmmm...they do have some yummy pizza!

I wanted to start last week, but didn't so I would love to join you! I planned on doing Tue/Thur/Sat anyway so it works out perfectly to start week 1 today and join you. I think it's nice having groups like this to motivate each other and hold each other accountable. I will be starting this evening and will post after I…

i like this. different situations work for different ppl and other people should not judge them for their choices. some working mom's would love to be able to stay home and just can't afford it. some mom's love having a career. some SAHM's wish they had somewhere to go for a break! lol. I'm currently going to school full…

It's such a slippery slope. If I do bad for one meal, then it just seems to multiply and take over a whole week or more sometimes. I have been doing fast food here lately for convenience and time and can't seem to break the cycle. I'm doing well so far today, but worried about dinner because I have class all day, will be…

i thought that too, but then i looked at their stats on the website. I don't know about you guys, but i am 5'8" and a lot of the females on the show are like 5'2" and 5'4"...height makes a HUGE difference. someone who is 5'2" as weighs the same as me looks a lot heavier than i do. the taller you are the more you can hide…

That is awesome! Congrats on getting half way there, I'm sure you'll be able to say you did it in no time. I'm getting close to my half way mark...can't wait!!!

I personally don't think low carb is that healthy long term. There are lots of opinions both ways and I've read stuff...but the way I see it is: think back before the invention of processing foods. If we went back to only eating things as they are naturally grown, what would we be eating? Fruits, veggies, grains,…

Glad I'm not the only junkie. I weigh myself multiple times every day. I know you're not supposed to, but I'm just curious to see how it fluctuates. It kind of gives me an idea of what it will look like in the morning too. I doesn't bother me at all when it goes up a few pounds during the day. I realize that I've been…

I was just wondering about this recently and did countless searches online. The basic conclusion I came to is that the daily limit only refers to added or refined sugar. Natural sugars in fruits, veggies, and dairy do not count. Unfortunately MFP counts all sugar the same. It sucks because I hate seeing that stupid red…

I will definitely be trying this! I have a question...I have never made bread or crust or anything with yeast before, so this might sound like a stupid question. Can I omit the salt or is it important to the rising or something?

I thought that was just me last year! I filed like the last week on Jan/first week of Feb and didn't get my refund until JUNE!!! I was so mad...it had never taken that long and everyone I knew had theirs WAY before me. This year we will be using ours for central air! Last summer was humid and miserable in my house. I had…

Yes, the HRM's with the chest strap are most accurate because it constantly monitors your HR. I have a Polar and I really like it a lot. Some people really hate the idea of wearing a chest strap, but it really doesn't bother me. You just wear it right under the bottom of your sports bra. I love having it tell me how much…

I bought a Treadmill, but i really wish I would have gotten an Elliptical instead! I haven't been able to use my treadmill for a few weeks because I injured my leg and it's too high impact. The elliptical is much lower impact and you can go at a much higher intensity without the strain on your joints. If I had it to do…

Chicken thighs are also very good for chicken noodles! That's the only thing I use them for cause I usually eat breasts. Just boil the chicken until cooked. Take it out and shred or cube it. (Take off the skin and bones if it's not boneless/skinless) Skim the fat off the water you boiled the chicken in (now broth) and cook…

She's probably shorter than you and therefore has a higher percentage of weight to lose than you. And she could also have her goal set lower than you. Like only half or 1 pound a week instead of 2. What is yours set at. Mine's set at 2 pounds a week and I'm 5'8" and 215 so I only get 1380!!!

Thanks! It makes me sad cause this was the first challenge I joined. I am surprised at how much I miss exercising. I want to do it so badly now that I can't! haha. It's also making it harder to stick with my eating habits because I feel a little defeated...but I will not let this throw me out of whack!! :)

So I haven't been able to exercise for like a week and a half and I went to the doctor today and he told me no exercising for at least another 2 weeks until my follow up appointment. I am so bummed and I doubt I'll be able to catch up when he finally does clear me because i'm sure I'll have to go easy at first. :( So, I'm…

Thanks! I will definitely be trying some for when I have a sweet tooth!
