I have the Charge HR but the short battery life is a deal breaker. It has to be charged every other day. I am going to return it. The Charge HR at Costco comes with 2 chargers. Sometimes it doesn't show HR when I need it most like running on the treadmill or running outside. The One was much more accurate in terms of steps…

Yes, a person can be happy being extremely overweight. If a person's happiness is limited to some area of her life not being exactly how she wants it, that is a recipe for being miserable because there is always something about your life or your appearance that could change or be improved for most people.

I would love to join. I just posted at the end of the January group that I hoped someone would create a February group.

I hope a new challenge starts in February. I would love to join. Drinking increases my appetite and lowers my inhibitions regarding my food choices. I tend to eat more of what I want instead of and less I what I should when I drink.

Feel free to add me. Trying to end the year in the win column.

Most recently $10 at Planet Fitness - not worth it; then $10 at Gold's Gym - worth it. Much better atmosphere and equipment. Gold's has a $40 annual fee. I usually stop my membership before the annual fee is due and go back later after running season is over.

Please add me.

Wear my old clothes. I have too many clothes in different sizes and they take up a lot of space. I given myself until July 2015 to get rid of sizes I don't need - I want it to be the bigger sizes. Shop at my favorite stores. Even with all the clothes I have I miss how easy it was to shop when I was smaller. Stop wearing…

I'm in. Please tag me if a group is created.

Thank you for sharing. Very inspiring.

Also, Walmart accepts anyone's ads - even for groceries. For example, you could use an Aldi ad at Walmart and further reduce your produce pricing.

When you think about quitting, think about why you started. Commitment means staying loyal to what you said you were going to do long after the mood you said it in has left you. We are what we repeatedly do. Aristotle Doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment. Oprah I run because I can.

Great job! Congratulations. More details on your clean eating/bust *kitten* plan, please. : )

OP, if possible you should edit your first post. A lot of people may respond without reading every post in a long thread. I just happen to catch a post or two above mine. For others who are here because of the title (not OP), to get better at running you have to run more. A schedule with gradually increasing faster or…

A lot o people on here use Jillian Michaels 30 day shred workout to lose inches. The DVD is around $9.

It depends on what the tights/leggings are made for. There are tights that are really just a type of hoisery that should only be worn under clothing/leotards. There are running and workout tights that are made for and appropriate for exercise. There are leggings that are too sheer and thin to be worn outside even for…

I'm not interested in being a coach but how can I find a coach to get a discount on insanity?

WOWZERS!!!! Your results are amazing and inspiring. I am definitely ready to start next month after my 10 mile race.

Do as much of your weekly prep work as possible on the weekend to free up work out time during the week. Prepare a crockpot meal or casserole that will last a few days & freeze your daily portions. Prep your weekly breakfasts, lunch & snacks on the weekends. For me this is usually a pan of baked egg white/veggie omelets in…

MTV had a show like where they would work with a teen for about 90 days. At the beginning of the journey the person was assigned to a coach/trainer who taught her how to workout & eat & the coach would check in throughout the show with tips while the teen had weekly weigh ins. The teens were juggling their full schedules…

Someone mouthing the words to a song if their breath is not so fresh. It can be not so nice when I'm running and taking deep breaths. Also, holding long loud conversations whether on the phone or with the person on the next treadmill.

Mine is closed because I have no real interest in looking at someone's diet or having mine critique. I know that the 10 lbs of red meat, a jug of red wine & the chocolate cake I had at Fogo de Chao last Saturday was not an ideal meal but I don't need anyone else to tell me that. Even in the forums there are always…

Yes, I log the green tea I make with tea bags as water. That's my go to liquid during working hours.

I used to go to buffets all the time when I was dating a guy who enjoyed the buffets and I had the pounds to show for it. I rarely do buffets now. I will be going to Fogo de Chao in the coming weeks - not buffet but all you can eat Brazilian steakhouse - for an annual birthday celebration.
