For the first time in a long time, I was able to run 4 miles and not really realize that I was running...I know it sounds weird, but I love it!

For the most part. Sometimes I don't have time to measure things out, so I eyeball. My food diary is to hold myself accountable for what I eat. I know what I eat and if I really feel that I haven't logged everything, I don't finish the day.

I felt this way about a month ago, this site is really helpful and the friends you make will pull you through it! Keep at it. Feel free to add me if you want!

cupcakes...ever since Cupcake Wars started, new cupcake shops are popping up everywhere! There's one within walking distance of my office and a Sprinkles about 10 miles up the street. Oye...

I'm pretty sure I did. I asked a friend to look at it, she's an ER nurse...she said she's pretty sure it's broken, but there's really nothing that can be done about it. Looks like I'll be taping it. Luckily, it's at the tip of the toe and not where the toe connects to my foot. Hopefully after a couple of days it will be…

Swimming probably isn't going to happen...I don't have a pool and unfortunately, I have a treadmill because I can't get to a gym. I'll definitely try the epsom salt soak! Thanks!!

Thanks for the responses! I am leaning towards the zip or the bracelet one...I just don't need the sleep one...I'll figure it out. Definitely getting one though.

I did it while I was deployed and definitely saw results. It's not easy, well, wasn't for me until I had worked through several of the workouts over a week or two. The ab work out is amazing! I want to do it again, but I don't have the time to committ. Hope this helps!

Did mine this morning. I'm surprised I'm still able to do them all at once! I haven't really done squats religiously in the past. Hope everyone else is doing well!!

I did my 40 minutes on the treadmill and the push ups and the sit ups...I definitely feel better having done it. Thanks everyone for your motivation!

I am trying to run Monday-Wednesday, rest Thursday and Friday, run Saturday, and rest Sunday. I'll do the pushups, situps, and my squat challenge even on rest days, that's not really high impact and doesn't take long to really knock those out. If this schedule doesn't work, I can always adjust! Thanks for the info!

Rest day is Thursday...just seems so far away! I'm going to do it...it is true, I have regretted not doing it, but I have never regretted doing it. Better knock the pushups out now...I'm going to do everything spaced out instead of all around the same time. At least it will still get done!

Awesome! Wish I had your motivation and dedication. I did the 60 today, but didn't even want to do 1! Trying to get myself into gear to do my 40 minutes on the treadmill and my pushups and sit ups. Just sounds so yuck today!

Just did mine...super proud of myself too, I'm totally lacking the motivation to even move let alone do 60 squats! Trying to force myself to cook dinner for the kids so I can hop on the treadmill, but I just don't want to! Hate days like this! I'm going to do it, just need to get up and do it. Boo...ha ha

Just did mine, and now I'm about to run on the treadmill for a little bit. Not sure I should do the squats before I run, but it is what it is! Everyone is doing a great job!!

I'm in the same boat! I'll add you...I had my Bio screen at work today, that was an experience!

I said I'd start tomorrow, but I went ahead and did my 50 tonight. Are you using weights when you do yours?

Ouch! I'm up for it, but starting tomorrow.

I'm trying to figure this same thing out. The TDEE and BMR stuff confuses me...

I should probably take measurements...I think I'll start doing that. Thanks!!

I'm lucky to work in a building with an onsite cafe that has a reasonably priced salad and soup bar. For days that I don't brown bag it, I typically get a salad and small broth based soup. When I bring my lunch it's usually left overs or a sandwich with a can of progresso soup...snacks are the usual vegetables, fruits,…

I have three. One on my left shoulder which is a Cleveland Browns helmet and my dad's birthday and day that he died, and I have one on the inside of each wrist with my kids' names. My dad was a huge Browns fan and he and I shared that, so I thought the helmet was fitting. Planning on getting more later!

Navy here, in for 12, got out a little under a year ago when I came home from my last deployment. I've managed to maintain my weight, but I want to eat healthier. It's easier said than done so I joined here to try and keep myself in check!

Thank you all for the helpful ideas and suggestions! I think that I was putting too much thought into how I can get it all done so I can set a good example for my kids. I can't be everywhere and do everything at once, so I think I will involve my kids more in doing what I need to do. They will "love" to work out with…

Thank you! The one goal at a time approach seems like something I can do. Trying to fit everything in at one time is a little overwhelming!

I'm asking for ideas to help make the time, not people telling me how easy it is for them to do it or telling me that I'm making excuses by saying that I'm lacking time. While I appreciate everyone responding, sometimes people just need ideas. The fact that I'm asking for assistance shows that I've been trying and what…

I understand it's important. I have tried to make the time, I'm asking for what works for people. It's not that I don't get how important it is. There are 24 hours in a day, I work and I'm in school for 14 of those hours two days a week with the homework and studying that goes along with it. It's not like I'm making…
