And this is why I love all of you.

Been here a little over 2 months, I'm on everyday. Feel free to add. :)

30DS would be a good start, I finished it last month. You can do the modified exercises to make it a little easier on your joints until you build your way up. I alternated 2 days 30DS, cardio (walking), repeat and rest one day. Don't worry about sticking to a 10 day timeline, move on when you feel comfortable!

I finished 30 DS last week. I looked at both Ripped in 30 and Extreme Shed & Shred for follow-up. I went with Extreme S&S because the workout is a little longer and I noticed (at least in week 1) that Ripped in 30 was pretty similar to 30 DS. I figure I can do that after Extreme S&S, but right after 30 DS may be a bit…

Okay, here's mine: Met my ex of almost 3 years past 5 years ago at a friend's birthday party. We dated for 2 years, lived together for about a year of it. Right before Christmas 2009 we parted ways to re-evaluate our relationship and expectations. The friend I had met him through was a girl I had been friends with since…

"Oh god, SNOOZE." *Whack the radio*

I just turned 28, have a good career, own my home, have loving friends and family. No boyfriend, no husband, no children and I'm perfectly fine with that. If someone comes along and I can share what I have and enjoy with them, great! If not, I have my back-up friend and we're getting hitched at 40 for the tax breaks. :)

Oh my.

Not really sure what you mean by maintenance before getting a tattoo. If you're worried about stretching on the skin or anything that totally depends on the placement. I'll tell you on mine that regardless of weight gain over the years they have not really changed, the skin is very resilient. I have eight - ribs, back,…

It is never too late to make a change in your life! Great work!

And I'm not gonna live my life on one side of an ampersand, and even if I went with you I'm not the girl you think I am. Amanda Palmer - Ampersand

I started using Mio a few weeks ago, a lot of different flavors and some have caffiene which I still need in the mornings.

As long as it's a clear day, I take mine out for a minimum of 30 minutes/2 miles, we're working on 60 minutes/4+ miles.

Thank you everyone for your feedback, definitely some things I'm going to try!

Ouchie! Hope it heals soon!

No suggestions? :(

I'm Andrea, 28 next week. My goals are pretty similar, 30 lbs or so. Anyone feel free to add me. :)

Yeah, my ankles have always been weak and have a tendency to roll on a whim. Usually it isn't an issue, but that time I had managed to do it while walking on cobblestone steps on vacation. Needless to say I tumbled pretty horribly on my first night there. >.<

If it's naturally light thickness, no worries, if it's pretty thick, a little trimming might be in order to see changes.

Maybe you were giving a soliloquy? :) Either way, you're looking great, keep it up!

I did by accident, I ordered some shirts online that turned out to be a couple inches too small all the way around but decided to keep them as motivation shirts.

25NYS goal weight: 130 Current weight: 153.4 Pounds lost today: 2 Pounds lost total: 5.6 Pounds remaining: 23.4 Your thoughts: No beer this weekend = actual loss at weigh-in! Still sad about the lonely beer in my fridge though...

I come home for lunch almost daily, usually I make a turkey sandwich w/ olive oil mayo, mustard, cheese, lettuce and tomato. It's under 300 calories and keep me full until dinner. Hillshire Farms Honey Smoked turkey is delicious also.

An incredible accomplishment and just the first of many I am sure!

I've learned to accept it and not buy silk shirts. :( Good part to all of it - I can easily threaten my roommate post work out with soggy hugs if he didn't do the dishes! :D

I like saltines with mayo, my ex was disgusted by it but he was the one that would eat any flavor potato chips with cottage cheese. :/
