I didn't log last year. I tried building in the recipes since I was making it, but it just took too darn long, and I ate too darn much anyway. I'll just be extra careful in the next week to not go over/be decently under so that I don't feel too bad about it. Plus we are making a bunch of low-cal recipes this year, so it…

You're totally right! I still cringe at old pictures of myself, but now I'm going to look at them differently. Thanks for posting!

Srsly! I'm gonna pre-party with this before I go out this weekend. :laugh: (totally kidding)

Here's the link to it on Amazon so you can look at it. http://www.amazon.com/Jillian-Michaels-30-Day-Shred/dp/B00127RAJY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1320856243&sr=8-1 I tried it, I like it, but it's a little too much jumping for my knees so it didn't take long for me to lose interest.

I'm in a similar boat, too, without kids. I've gone on a couple of dates with this one guy. He's the guy I'd date if I got into a serious relationship, but I'm not sure I'm ready. Right now, I'm finding myself, re-decorating my house, and having fun with my friends.

Maybe I shouldn't have presented this quite the way I did. I'm not looking for solutions to the water problem, I'm asking if this particular solution would add calories to my water. I see a few differing answers, like "only if you eat the fruit" and "not for citrus fruits" so I'm guessing nobody really knows, which is…

There's nothing wrong with the water, it just doesn't taste good. I work at a school and they have to test it every year. The tap water at my house tastes gross, too. Even filtered. I just buy bottled, but I really hate to do that at work.

I don't have anywhere to put it. The fridge is ALWAYS full, besides the fact that other people would use it if I put it in there.

I've tried it. If I were going to be home every time it needed to be emptied, it wouldn't be that big of a deal. Kind of gross, but not a big deal. Unfortunately, I was having to empty it at least once at work each day, depending on my day. I think I used it for 3 months in a row and then stopped. I don't even know where…

That is so excellent! It makes me want to get on an airplane and see how I'm doing in comparison to my last flight! haha.

I think thus far I have accepted all of them, but I do appreciate a message. I also have very few men in my friend list, it feels more comfortable to talk about these things with other chicks. I *will* delete a person if they haven't logged in for several months. Regarding sending requests, I don't do it often either. I…

Plantar fasciitis is an overuse injury. You can improve the way your foot feels with stretching and ice, but the best thing you can do for it is to REST it. Try finding a different form of exercise for a couple of weeks until it feels better. I know that's hard, but trying to walk through it only makes it worse.

I second the "FANGtastic!" Or as my boss said this morning "Boooooootastic"

Why don't shows these days have that quality of intro anymore? The songs, the cartoon montages. I always loved those.

The Market Fresh sandwiches are so much bigger than the roast beef, that's why. If I go to Arby's and get a Market Fresh, I only eat half of it.

I say yes. I think it's up to you.

I don't have any specific suggestions other than trying to talk to a nutritionist. They can give you healthy ideas and follow up with you to make sure their suggestions are working or help you try other things.

I hear ya! I've done similar things. You won't die or anything. lol

I've done this, too. It's not excellent, but it works.

Yup! It does it every 10 pounds, I think.

Last time I ate at a Mexican restaurant I got a "Chicken Fajita salad." It was quite good, and the calories weren't bad at all. It was basically chicken breast with veggies and salad and I had salsa instead of dressing.

Jillian's moves are so high impact that if your knees aren't exactly perfectly supported by your muscles, they will hurt. If the problem persists, see your doctor, otherwise I would say the muscles supporting your knee joint just aren't strong enough. I've heard that biking is the best exercise to strengthen your knees.

I'd hide all my favorite pieces and then go! Even at this point in my weight loss journey, my clothes are mostly too big and I can't afford to keep buying new stuff... even at Goodwill. BTW, Stacy has a lovely Lee jeans ad at the top of my screen right now. Talk about directed advertising.

Isn't it unfortunate how life can totally get in the way of all this? I feel ya, lunamare. Hopefully this week will improve for you.

Rach, I'd be willing to take over or help out in some way. We could also come up with a weekly challenge or something for those involved. That said, I agree with BrunetteWife, do what is best for you.

232.8 this morning. A half pound loss is better than a gain, I just have to remember that!

I'll do it, though I don't exercise the same amount of time every day. It depends on what activity I'm doing. I can certainly add three minutes to each activity each day, though.

I usually get vodka cranberry. I like them, but I would totally prefer something higher in calories!

BTW, at 27, having been married and divorced, I think my dad would still prefer I didn't date! He still sees me as his little girl. I live on my own, but I bet he'd be all "I want to meet this guy" in a gruff manner if I had a new boyfriend.

I started when I was a sophomore in high school: 15. My first boyfriend was a senior, but I was his first girlfriend, so it was very innocent. All the other boys I dated were in the same grade as me or one below. I think 15 was good because I was able to "make mistakes" as it were. I know there were some kids at my school…
