♥ this! Well said!

That's an awesome motivation! Love it!

It looks like your posture is better too! Way to go!

Sounds to me like you strained your groin too. It should feel better in a week or two if you don't keep aggravating it. Once it is feeling better over all, start doing stretches like sit down on the floor with your legs as far apart as you can get them and then gently lean forward (reaching with your navel and not hunching…

Awesome job! Congrats!

My first half marathon is this coming Sunday! I'm so excited for it! Plus I'm training to get my 2nd degree black belt and I am starting to think that maybe someday I will do a full marathon but I'm not putting one on the calender just yet.

I'm glad that you are doing better and feeling better at 1200! Keep at it and you may want to bump up the cals a little more unless you are very short. I'm 5' 2.5" and I'm now at 1430 plus at least part of my exercise cal. I'm still chipping away at it. I know that you can do this!

I had mine set and either 2 or 1.5 per week but as it would adjust from my weight loss, it was auto adjusting and ended up being less than my goal that I put in because it won't go below 1200. So I agree with what Rayman79 said.

Sounds like an eating disorder or at least on the verge of one. Go see a counselor and setting a goal that's a little higher. See if you can eat even 1050 cal for a week and if you can do that bump it up to 1100 and go from there. Take care of yourself and good luck.

Those are some of the things that really keep us going! Great NSV! Way to go!

My holiday game plan is have a walk or run at some point in the day and to eat a little bit of what ever I really want but totally skip stuff that I can have any time or that I'm not really in the mood for. I'm not taking corn just because it's there. Enjoy the day, cut out stuff that you don't care about and find ways to…

Way to go! What an achievement!

A 3/4 in glob of face lotion with enough regular sugar to make it thick and gritty. Love how my face feels after!

Sit down with them, go to hulu.com and turn on extreme makeover weight loss addition. Watch a few episodes together. At least half of the episodes deal with enablers. Actually, try to find one with a younger female and it will most likely deal with enablers. There is one from last season with a 20 year old blonde girl…

I was going to mention that a there is a lot more females than males that populate this site, but I have turned down requests because they didn't have male friends at all before. I do have one friend like that and a couple that are close to it. The one that doesn't have any is starting to train for a marathon and I'm doing…

Welcome to one-derland! Congrats!

Some times I have to choose between getting some chores done and working out. As much as I hate mess, my bigger priority is being healthy for my family. If nobody already said it, there are tons of workouts on youtube. Zumba, yoga, palates...you name it! Mix them up so they don't get boring. Sometimes I even jog laps…

What a great mood boost!

I couldn't be happier for your success and prouder to have you as a friend! You are an inspiration in so many ways! Thank you, sir!

Awesome NSV! Congrats!

When heating food in the microwave I like to turn it on for weird times like 57 sec instead of a minute or 33 seconds, 28 seconds. I also have to have my kids plates stacked in rainbow order when I put them away. I can pop my sternum as well as every joint in my body. I'm sure that there are a million more weird things…

I'm guessing that you set your weight loss goal at 2 lbs per week. So if you "cheat" or go over your cals a little you shouldn't lose weight, right? Wrong! You just might not lose the full 2 lbs per week every week. Unless you are going way over every day, you are still eating at a deficit and will still lose weight. Don't…

Awesome job!

If you only have one serving and add in veg and chicken or hard boiled egg and only use part of the seasoning (or make your own seasoning) they aren't as bad. Just not much nutritional value in the noodles by themselves.

Which is part of why I started running distance in the last year and a half when I was a sprinter in HS. It uses your muscles sooo differently. As to the "women don't bulk" thing; some women have a natural heavy muscle build instead of long lean muscle. I naturally get thicker bunchy muscle. My mom calls it quarter horse…

I'm 5'2" as well and have the same "power muscle" issues that you do. Running is doing great things for my legs as yoga. When I was younger I had super solid leg muscles that I had the hardest time finding jeans to fit over them. My jeans would be two sizes too big in the waist so that they would fit over my legs. At least…

Try this first! Get one of those belly bands for prego mama's (they also have some that the market to prevent muffin top) and wear those over some of your pants that you already have. I need them with a couple pairs of my pants (thank you c-sections) and I have a couple pairs of Calvin Klein pants that work great without…

Wow! What a difference! Way to go!

That is the coolest college application essay question ever! Everybody should have a 'what to do if zombies attack' plan!

My next lb will put me into a healthy BMI range. Never have I been more focused on the next lb! Way to go Scott! I love following your journey and routing you on!
