I'm 5'4 and currently at 166. My short term goal is to get to 150, and my ultimate goal is to be around 135ish. I have a muscular build; huge calves and broad shoulders. When I'm overweight, I tend to carry my fat over my belly and torso. This is the year I get back to my pre-kid weight! I signed up for a 10k today, so…

I started month 2 last week. Wow, what did I get myself into? I really noticed how lack of sleep affected my work outs. 7-8 hours is a must! Feel free to add me!

Deep fried oreos... frog legs.. and avocado. I did split some funnel cake and an order of steak fries with my friends and our kids. I used to get tummy aches going to the state fair. Not this time.

^That. Some of the cheaper brands taste off to me. I like putting a little bit of agave nectar to sweeten mine.

I marinate the chicken in apple juice concentrate, a dab of honey, ground pepper and a dash of soy sauce for a couple of hours in the frig. Roast/broil it in the oven. I think that boiling the chicken breast for chicken salad makes it less juicy. Chop up the chicken, add fine chopped celery, low fat mayo, diced cucumber (I…

Back when I used to do a lot of social dancing, this one older gentleman, had a crush on me. Even if I was single ( I was in a serious relationship), he really wasn't my type. At a dance social, he introduces me to his wife, and then his daughter. Halfway through the social, he comes over, grabs my hand and says,…

Hi, I'd love to do this again. I had such a great time last time, so inspiring! Will try to be less flakey about posting the pics. (I blame it on my husband!)

I get my off days. I blatantly lie to myself. Get dressed, put my shoes on, and promise myself I'm just going to run a mile. If I can survive that first mile, the second one can't be too bad. Hey, and while I'm at it, I'm going to get that third one in. If I'm still feeling pretty good, I get my six. If not, at least I got…

157 I hope I win some jellybeans out of this :p

I rarely drink... don't smoke...I get plenty of exercise. Sweets are my downfall. I'm very obsessive about what I eat (right now, it's Reeses Peanut Butter Cups) . But I also have a fondness for baked goods- especially homemade cake/cookies. I have learned now, that I just gotta work harder to have them in my daily…

^what she said. I eat a ton of steamed broccolli with some olive oil. Cheap, and fills the void. Or raw cucumber slices. Green tea (unsweetened) also helps.

Find the most unflattering photo of your sister, and tape it to the jar. So whenever you feel that urge to eat PB, she'll be staring at you.

BIGGEST PET PEEVE: People who FART when they are running on the treadmill. Enough to know you over and kill you. [/quote] Sorry, it snuck out. :blushing: I don't always have control of where I "fluff."

20 years ago. At my boyfriend's house. Never again. It's the visual. They look like green testicles. bleh.

I am so glad that Blizzard brought out MoP; that helped me kick the habit. I haven't played seriously since last Fall (I don't count the trial account to try out the latest xpac) Used to do rated bgs and arenas for hours...Now I think about how much better I could be if I'd been doing something physical rather than sitting…

I personally don't like that last part. I know that as a married couple, you don't always want to be airing out your dirty laundry with everyone. But to not be able to share with your closest supporters? If he wasn't doing or saying "anything wrong," there would be nothing to hide, imo.

For dinner, I try to make sure I have either steamed broccoli or zucchini with a dash of olive oil, or a spinach salad. The veggies help trick my stomach into thinking it's full, and to not give into cravings. If not, I'll have a tablespoon of peanut butter with a drizzle of chocolate syrup. Most of the time, that does the…

That I've designed/created 80% of my costumes. I used to ride sportbike, had five different bikes, and never got into an accident with any of them. I'm 38 and I still get carded in Vegas. Very annoying.

Here is an inexpensive fast solution. You could try a decorative dress clip. It'll make your dress a little more form fitting, as long as you don't have anything fancy on the back of your dress (elaborate train). http://acostumejewelryshop.com/cinch-dress-garment-clips-c-59.html I'm not sure how the back of our dress…

I need some focus, too! I run at least 4-5 times a week. Haven't had as much time to do my strength training sessions, and strained my right arm last week. Will rest it a few days, and try to slowly get back into it. SW: 180 CW: 161 GW: 156 Weigh in Dates: 6/2 161 6/9 6/16 6/23 6/29 End of Month Total weight lost:

You mentioned you have "good shoes." But what type? A few weeks during the year, I do a series of trade shows, and I swear by my Dansko shoes. I'm on my feet 10-12 hours a day, and standing on concrete/tile flooring. By the end of the day, my feet are still a little sore, but in regular shoes (not Dansko) my feet hurt A…
