I'm in and also offer the warning of viewing my photos at your own risk. :) I definitely need something to keep me motivated. My motivation has been lacking lately!

I agree! I spoke with my nutrition councelor about this and she said to be aware of sugar intake, especially added sugar, but to also look at fiber. As long as the sugar containing foods also contain fiber (i.e. fruits and vegetables) I'm not as concerned with the total sugar level. Having said that yogurt can be very high…

I actually am not in the UK as deceiving as my username is. I went to the University of Kentucky but I wish it was because I'm in the UK. It love it there! :) I have gone to OA meetings and you should definitely make it past the door. :) It's a wonderful meeting with a program that has been proven to work for addiction in…

Started week 3 with fit test #2 today and it was a bit disappointing. I was able to do a few more of each of the exercises but not as much as I thought I would be able to. For some reason it was very tough this morning. Maybe it was the pizza yesterday. I just feel blah today. My weight was exactly the same as 2 weeks ago…

I definitely fall into this category. Even eating healthy foods I still have the urge to overeat and have times where I feel like I need to be eating something all the time. I know this isn't actually a need but it's a very strong craving that's hard to get rid of. I don't just crave bad food, I crave the feeling of…

^^This! Totally agree she is ridiculously annoying! Especially the peddle jumps. :)

I started on July 8th so I'm close. :) It's been tough but totally worth it! I did the Plyo Cardio today for the 3rd time and can already see a difference in the amount I am able to do. So happy tomorrow is cardio recovery! :D I'm excited for next Monday for the 2nd fit test so I can see if I've made any progress. I'm so…

Using mashed cauliflower instead of potatoes is also very yummy! Especially if you can broil it for a few minutes at the end of the baking time to get it nice and crisp on top. And I used ground turkey and chicken all the time. I know not technically shepherd's pie but still just as delicious!!
-
Hubby and I finished day 2 of month 1, week 2 today and I am loving it! I can already see an improvement in the amount I am able to do. I am definitely not anywhere close to keeping up with the Insanity master but there is definitely improvement. I have lost 2lbs unofficially, I'll know more next Monday when fit test #2…

You look amazing and this is an incredible idea!! I am jumping on board and picking Miranda Lambert mostly because she seems to be a real person and has a body that is totally attainable! Maybe once I get there I can aim for the body of someone like Fergie or Pink. Those ladies rock it!!
-
To me that's more than a baby step! I just started Insanity yesterday and the warm-up kicks my butt! I'm hoping to see baby steps soon too! Way to go!!!

I'm lucky enough that my employer has a built-in reward for me this year. If I get to 220 (I'm 7lbs away) by the end of August and my cholesterol and blood pressure are normal, which they should be, I will get a bonus. I haven't really thought about goals but you all have started me thinking about it so here are a couple I…

I just started Insanity this morning with the fit test...phew, kicked my rear! :) Up at 4am to get it in and I already feel better today than I usually do. I'll let you know if I die tomorrow. I would also like to know how you input the workouts into MFP. I know I was sweating like crazy this morning. I feel like such a…

What an incredible accomplishment!! Way to go! Thank you for the inspiration. :smile:

I am about 100lbs overweight and I am running, ok jogging and very slowly but it's definitely getting my heart rate up and better than the couch surfing I was doing before. For me, bicycling, eliptical and things that require a larger range of motion are more painful on my knees than jogging. For me that's because I have…

I am relatively new to running also and have certainly gone through the gammot of finding out what works. The biggest thing is finding what works for you. Here is what works for me: I HAVE to breath through my mouth and I inhale for two strides and exhale for two strides. I usually start with 3 strides each at the…

Try this: http://voices.yahoo.com/relieve-hip-pain-running-10-minute-exercise-8434189.html?cat=50 I had the same pain that made it difficult to walk and it would always get worse if I sat on a hard surface for an extended time. It was kind of upper inner thigh pain (more the front of my pelvis to my upper thigh) if that…

I use the 5K101 training and I really like it. Rather than progressing a little each day like the offical C25K program there are 8 stages that you do for one week each. It's really cool to be able to see how much progress you can make in a week! I downloaded it free from iTunes as a podcast. If you have an iPhone or iPod…

Drink plenty of water and stretch! If you can add strength training to your exercise routine that helps as well. The first few weeks were a struggle for me when I started running. As soon as I had one pain under control another one would pop up. It does get better, I promise! I am now running pain free and although it has…

Went on a 4 mile walk with 5 other people from work today. It was the perfect day for a walk!

Team Aprile: I am here for motivation and to share this journey with others. I have greatly enjoyed learning new activities to try!

I was in the grocery store and a young woman in front of me was a little short on her total for her groceries. When I first got behind her in line I was impressed with the choices she had made as she had a lot of healthy foods. I didn't want her to have to make a decision of what vegetable to give up so I had the cashier…

No loss this week, still at 227. After a week of Kentucky Derby festivities I'm thrilled to not have gained! Sorry Aprile crew...hopefully that means a nice loss next week.
-
Ex-smoker here also. It is very difficult but like others have said the rewards far outweight the discomfort that, although it may not seem like it, is temporary. Surprisingly enough, trying to not think about smoking will only make it worse. You know how you obscess about something you "can't" have until you finally give…

Hi all, Angela here. I'm 33, have been married to my amazing husband for almost 9 years and we are working on starting a family which is my biggest motivation for losing weight. I did the April challenge and had so much fun I thought I would keep going! I love the new moves I'm learning thanks to the Don! I have a long…

Team Aprile - 100 crunches done! And ouch is right!
-
Down 1lb to 227. Slowly but surely! Looking forward to the May Challenge.

Team Aprile: If you want something you've never had, then you've got to do somegthing you've never done. 1.5 mile walk in this morning...hope to get more in before the day is over. :)

I got in 8 miles today!!
