  • Hey, Girls! Victoria's secret sells some of their workout gear in shorter lengths and they are having a big sale right now!
  • Just popping in to say welcome to all the new shorties!
  • I think victories like this are just as important as numbers on a scale. Changing the habits that hold us back is going to be what makes the weight loss stick.
  • my starting weight was 128 (I'm 5'0'' and a very small frame) and I followed the 1200 this week adding extra calories for exercise and I lost almost 4 lbs this week. Of course, the first week always goes well, so we'll see what happens in the future. We'll see what happens in future weeks, but I think it's possible to keep…
  • David Guetta 's One Love album is what is getting me through my 5am workouts right now. Lot's of different artists on the album and saves you the trouble of putting together a playlist yourself.
  • That's awesome. Stairs kick *kitten*! It's not like you are tired from taking a five minute stroll around the block. Check out netflix for videos you can rent or stream to do at home. It saves you money and the disappointment of paying for a video and finding out it's not for you. My personal fave is Jillian Michael's 30…
  • I know this may sound cheesy, but try to look at your exercise as an energy builder - like a cup of coffee. I'm always thinking I'm too tired to workout, but once I've finished I always feel energized and never think "boy, that sapped my last bit of energy for the day."
  • sprinkle balsamic vinegar on 1.5 cups spinach. cut up 6 cherries (they have them at costco now, but you can also use craisins all year round) and 3 oz chicken breast from rotisserie chicken. Top with 1 tbsp (I use cibo naturals from costco) pesto sauce and mix it all up. It's the pesto that makes the salad! so much better…
  • This is a recipe I have been meaning to use from allrecipes.com. Tuna salad with a mexican twist! Ingredients * 4 (6 ounce) cans tuna, packed in olive oil * 1 red onion, diced * 1 orange bell pepper, diced * 1 red bell pepper, diced * 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained * 1 (4 ounce) can green chile peppers, chopped *…
  • I'm am first going to reward myself for beginning the process - if I log all my food this week and meet my exercise goal I am getting a manicure - regardless of what the scale says. I am going to set this goal for myself for the first three weeks ( I read it takes 21 days to create a habit and I think tracking is the most…
  • I eat the mccann steel cut oats. It takes 30 minutes on the stove to cook them. I cook the recommended 1 cup of oats in 4 cups water. I usually make them on Sunday since this enough for me to eat for four days. Then I reheat in the microwave.
  • Wouldn't we all :smile: I have dreams of looking like Shakira or Fergie (both shorties like us) - but for now I'll be happy if I can consistently make it to the gym and get my weight moving in the right direction - DOWN!
  • I started a program yesterday called the FIRST Training program that gets you to a 5K in 12 weeks. The program goes really slowly and only has you run 3 non-consecutive days per week - designed for someone who doesn't run at all and to help you avoid common injuries from training too much too fast. Week one looks like…
  • I'm 5'0" if I stand up really straight :-) I don't mind it most of the time either. But like a lot of you have said - a few extra pounds can be less than forgiving!
