^ This!! Every pound is an accomplishment. Some people just can't see beyond their own jealousy. You're doing great!!

It's been a great day! All of my running so far has been indoors on my treadmill, and today I made the scary leap to running out side. It was slightly embarrassing because Tim came with me and my jogging was the same speed as his kind of fast walk. Bah. His legs are much longer than mine, but it still made me feel like…

OMG Crystal, you just made me LOL big time with your story! I read it to my bf and he did the same. :smile:

I hope that your ankle and knee feel better! Apparently they make "Zumba shoes" now too...I've never tried them, but I've heard people say they like them. Maybe they'd be easier on the knees?

Kristina, I had to laugh because I have "It's not unusual..." stuck in my head after Kendal's post too! :smile: Sarah, as always, I'm coveting your weight loss. You are so consistent, even during TOM! Rikki, I agree with what the others said. I know it's tough, but if you want to lose the weight then you have to REALLY…

Kendal, you just made me LOL. :smile:

Ahhh....lighbulb moment! I used to do Zumba at my old gym and I loved it, but my knees always bothered me. Now I usually do Zumba at home with Kinect and my knees are fine. The difference? When I do it at home I'm barefoot. I never thought about the motion control shoe thing!

Thanks for all of the bean info! I've always wanted to start making my own but was a little intimidated. Kendal, that outfit is cute!! Also, sodium sucks. If I go even a little over I never see a loss on the scale. The scale sucks too, by the way. Bobbie, I don't like the new Facebook either, particularly the ongoing…

Don't worry, little kids can be easy to trick into eating good things. :wink: You can even make the switch to similar but healthy cereals....I eat a cereal called "Fruitful O's" by Cascadian Farms that is basically Fruit Loops except it's made with real fruit juice concentrate instead of high fructose corn syrup, and they…

I apologize in advance that you might have already seen this on my status updates both here and on Facebook, but I have to share my excitement with you all: I JUST RAN FOR 30 MINUTES WITHOUT STOPPING!!!! That's the first time in my life that has EVER happened!! Crazy excited about this NSV!

Victoria, here's a super easy, super basic olive oil dressing recipe I use as a "starting point" to make dressings: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/balsamic-vinegar-and-olive-oil-dressing/detail.aspx I've altered the spices in it (I like oregano and basil), and I've used yummy fruit-infused balsalmic vinegars or olive oils…

Nava, I'm sorry to hear about the England drama! Hopefully they find someone to replace you soon and hopefully Joe can go with you. I understand your freak out; long distance relationships are tough. That's great that Joe has already told you that he wants to get married and have babies regardless of how the England thing…

Hosanna, I'm glad that my NSV helped spur your NSV! I wasn't even sure I should share it, but it was just such a great feeling. Yay for the courage to be awesome! :drinker: Megan, hi! :smile: Annette, bread is a problem for me too. Especially when I get the really super yummy and fresh kind from our local bakery. One of…

Hosanna, WOOHOO, great NSV!! Coming from someone who just had a similar, I-can't-believe-I-feel-sexy-and-my-man-thinks-it-too NSV, I know exactly how wonderful you feel. Just imagine what a Hotty McHotterson you're going to be feeling like when you reach goal weight! Speaking of Hotty McHottersons....Lacey, you go with…

I hear ya. I was weighing too much and it drove me crazy! I've gotten better and *usually* only weigh once a week now...
-
Victoria, now I just Facebook stalked YOU! :smile: Hosanna, your dogs are going to love that you've started running; yay for starting C25K! I've been following a similar running program called "Run Your Butt Off" and only have about 2 more levels to finish before I can run for 30 minutes at a time....that just completely…

I hear ya; dating while big is HARD. I think that dating at any size is hard though, because it's just not easy finding someone right for you. Hang in there though, it can happen! I am a big girl (getting smaller!) and I have been with the most amazing man for the last 2 years who is sweet, wonderful, perfect for me, and,…

A mini catch-up: Hosanna, I just friend requested you on Facebook! Ugh about hearing from your ex...I bet it felt good to tell him that you are getting married though. :smile: Crystal, crossing my fingers for you that the new meds help your breathing... Bobbie, I always have a big problem getting blood drawn too. They…

I just got "Peas and Thank You" by Sarah Matheny. Love it! So many delicious recipes in there! http://www.amazon.com/Peas-Thank-You-Simple-Meatless/dp/0373892403

Weekly weigh-in: 215.2 I'm down .6 from last week and I can't believe it! I was on vacation and I literally did EVERYTHING WRONG. No working out, eating whatever I wanted, drinking alcohol...I thought there was no way I'd lose this week. I don't understand the scale -- some weeks I work my butt off and gain, then some…

I was on a mini-vacation from Wednesday last week through Sunday. I haven't worked out at…

*** Weigh-in for the week: 215.2 *** I am SHOCKED that the scale went down .6 from last week. I literally haven't worked out at all in 5 days (except for "vacation working out" -- walking around town, dancing at a wedding, etc.), I didn't drink enough water, I ate anything and everything I wanted while on vacation, and I…

HOLY COW, I went away to a B&B with no internet and come back to 5 pages worth of posts that I missed? I've got internet now but I'm still "on vacation" so there's no hope for me catching up soon...yikes! About that not having internet thing -- I liked it, but I couldn't get on MFP on my phone yesterday either which means…

I'm crossing my fingers for you that you will get the job, Jessie! Good luck!!

Okay, I'll quickly re-introduce myself for the new ladies, and then I'm going to share a NSV story that is waaay TMI, just because you're the only people I can share it with who will really appreciate it. So get ready. :smile: Here's my re-introduction first: My name is Pam. I started hanging around this thread two…

Katheryne, pizza has been causing major issues for me this week too. I don't believe in denying myself any one food because I know I'll crave it like crazy if I do, so I just make adjustments the rest of the day (like better food/more exercise) if I'm going to eat something like pizza. It usually works, but some kind of…

I can't seem to find what my goals were for last time, but here are my goals for this one: 1.) Be able to jog for 30 minutes without stopping. This is a biggie, because I've never been able to run for that long that in my whole life. I'm up to jogging for 13 minutes straight right now, and on the running plan I've been…

You can customize your diary to make your fiber goal higher...then you could stay in the green!

Yay for a new thread! I've been lurking like crazy and plan to catch up in a few...
