Great job everyone! I want to see more!

Good for you!! That is the hardest and best thing I ever did!! Keep it up :)

I was on the depo for 3 years and not only did I gain weight and have trouble losing weight but I developed other health issues because of the shot that I will have to live with the rest of my life. ( I used to always tell people not to get it but haven't recently because I realize that was 5+ years ago and they may have…

Congrats to you!! I just ran my first day of 15 minutes without stopping and am SHOCKED at how well I did (because I didn't acutually feel the urge to stop! Yay! I hope to have the same success is you when my first 5K rolls around on August 30th. Thanks so much for sharing!! :)

Hi everyone!! Thank you so much for all of your replies and friend requests. I tried to get everyone that hadn't already sent on to me, but if I missed you please feel free to add me :) Looks like I got quite a few good friends in tow! Thanks again :)

Great job! And great story! I am about 3/4 though a modified (16 wk) C25K program. I will be finished with it about 2 weeks before my first 5K i on August 30th so this is very inspiring! Thank you so much for sharing :)

Thank you for sharing! I am just getting started and that gives me some hope!

You guys all look awesome! Thank you for sharing :)

Hi Holly! My name is Whitney I have been using MFP off and on since about this time this year and am here to say if you are taking full advantage it will work for you. I have just recently gotten back on the bandwagon and it feels so good. I'm glad you are joining us :)

Hi there!! I am also in need of some motivating friends. I have been using MFP since about this time last year and have definitely had my ups and downs but am so ready to get things going again and it feels so good!! Friend request sent :)

^ This!! We try to abstain during the week and try to fit in our days on the weekends by getting in good workouts. I am so glad someone else gets it!!

30 Day shred is a workout DVD by Jillian Michaels and thank you! :)

Thanks everyone for your input and support! Any of you are more than welcome to add me! I am always looking for dedicated supportive friends :)

I'll have to keep that in mind for when I finish C25K :)

Haha! I was kinda thinking the same thing as I was posting it! I do have before pics but I think I want to wait to post my before/afters until I am at (or at least close to) my goal weight :)

Thank you! Your motivation was definitely a key factor!

thanks :)

I agree with everyone else.. I would go with the black :)

My three year old nephew had to have a ct scan done yesterday (he has an eye infection they are concerned about) and the tech told him they were going to take a picture of his head so he had to be very still.... so they get started and my sister (his mom) can tell he is scared but putting on a brave face and then she hears…

Bump... I am also currently contemplating a switch so I want to see your thoughts too!

I am definitely a pasta lover too! Try this recipe...It's a great sub for pasta and it's low calorie! :) Chessy Spaghetti Squash 1 medium spaghetti squash 1/4 C water 1 T olive oil 2 C sliced fresh mushrooms 1 medium red or green sweet pepper, seeded and chopped 1 medium onion, chopped 3 cloves garlic, minced 1/2 tsp dried…

I am currently doing the 30DS. When I first started it was a bit much for me as my body was barely used to moving! So, I did it a few times a week on level one for a couple of weeks. After that I started with my "consecutive days" but still rest on Saturday and Sunday (I usually walk or do something else on those days) and…

anyone is welcome to add me as well... I log in every day and love to give/recieve support! :)

Good for you! I would definitely say it will take your body a bit longer to adjust. Keep up the good work! :)

First of all, congrats to you for quitting!! It is quite an accomplishment! With that being said, my boyfriend and I both had a lot of trouble sleeping when we quit smoking so that could be a big part of it :( It does get better and of course it is sooo worth it in the end!

I have never done P90X but I have done the 30 Day Shred (which involves lots of jumping) in my second floor apartment. I haven't had any problems so far but I do try to keep it to times that I won't keep anyone awake if I do make some noise. :) good luck to you!

^This - very well said!
