My mom had a BIG problem with regular Coke. She used to get these terrible headaches going from drinking it all the time to trying not to drink it at all. The key to that is to slowly decrease your intake - that was what worked for her. And to keep her water intake up, she tried out flavored carbonated water - it gives you…

I've never ever EVER been attracted to regular coke at all - I don't know exactly why I was attracted to Diet Coke in the first place, but that was all I ever drank, apart from water when I felt like it. I've been soda free for .... at least 3 weeks now, and I'm finding it a lot easier to defiantly say no to soda whenever…

I'd try to find a place with a pool and do exercises in the pool. You get a lot more resistance from the water, especially if you do a water-exercise class (like at a gym), but it doesn't leave you bed-ridden the next morning. That's what I did Tuesday night when my legs were killing me and I didn't feel like hitting the…

I write motivational posters and hang them ALL OVER. Everywhere I go in my house, there's a poster. There's a quote, an image, something, as long as its got something that I personally wrote down on the paper. I think that me writing down whatever I'm writing down holds me more accountable since I have to look at my own…

While I'm kinda doing this already, though not in challenge form, I wanted to say that I'd add in green tea into that program. Green tea has been shown to help metabolism. Also, I wanted to say that I'll be friend requesting you 'cause I think we're very similar, after reading your profile. :]

I've actually been putting off doing this program for too long now. I need to be doing more cardio than I am now. So, I'm definitely in for this. I may not do the bridge to 10K just yet - seeing as I'm SUPER overweight still - but I may do a repeat of a few weeks, especially when it gets harder, so it'll all even out, I…

Welcome back! I'm sending a friend request your way. :]

Hi there! I'm looking to lose about 250. I know I definitely need support, but I love to give it, too. :]

Welcome (back) to MFP! I wish you the best of luck on your journey. :]
-
Welcome to MFP! I definitely know how that roller coaster goes, but its all about making right choice after right choice - soon they start piling up and it turns in to the positive reward of a decreasing number on the scale. :]

I will haaaaaaave to try this sometime soon. I bought two packages of strawberries this week, so now I have something fun to do with them.

Hi! Welcome to MFP! My suggestions to you, coming from someone who isn't yet thrilled about exercise, are that you be really strict about writing down the calories you eat and measuring out the serving sizes for food, and also to break your exercise up into multiple sittings. Don't just try to do it all at once - spread it…
-
Best of luck to you! MFP is a great place for support. :]

A small salad and a serving of one of those 10 minute skillet pasta meals - chicken and farfalle. :]

I'm here for you if you need me, cuz, for whatever. I'm always just a phone call away. <3

I was seriously about to ask a question on how people got motivated to start running, but I think I found the answer. I've had the Robert Ullrey's C25K podcasts downloaded for a while now onto my iPod, so I think I'm gonna start back up tomorrow (since its 10 in the evening here). You all are serious inspirations to my…

Feel free to add me, as well. :D

I'm getting a Xbox 360 with as soon as I get my tax return and buying not only fitness games (TBL, etc) but Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, Fallout: New Vegas, and Dead Space 2. The new BioShock, when it comes out, will be first on my new game list. I do love Borderlands (Lilith is a BEAST) and Oblivion (The Elder Scrolls IV)…

When I go to the grocery, I not only have to think of myself but for my grandma, whom I take care of, as well. So I do all of her shopping first and put all that in the bottom of my cart so I don't have to see it or think about it for much longer. Once I've got her list done, I immediately head to the fruits and veggies -…
-
Don't worry, I have no intention of letting her fail.

Congrats! Keep up the awesome work!

Anything is possible if you set your mind to it. 6 pounds in 10 days doesn't seem to healthy to me, but I'm here for you. :D

Most of my close friends, fortunately or unfortunately, don't like football as much as I do, so I thankfully can exercise to my heart's content on Sunday before and during the big game, as well as eat some nice, healthy foods. I wish you the best of luck in avoiding those temptations. I know I'm not strong enough to avoid…

Thanks, everyone! You're all so kind. I appreciate all the kind words. I don't have Netflix, but I do have some DVDs that I'll have to implement here soon as well. :D

Dris, I love everything JM does and I have the 30 Day Shred, but I've done it so much over the past year that I'm starting to not get as much of a burn from it anymore. I take care of my elderly grandmother, so I can't really get out too much (unless its for like work or errands), and I don't have the budget for a gym…
