I'm ready to amp it up too! My scale ran out of batts, but I'm getting new ones and I'll update my weight tomorrow morning! GO US

YAYYYYY. That is super awesome!

Ooops i posted in the week one thread instead! My goal this week is to find some decent shoes for walking to class! Ahem, ok other less materialistic goals are ~ to not eat out this week. Its expensive and unhealthy and I get lazy and would rather pick something up than remember to pack! ~ drink 8 glasses of water a day.…

So my starting weight was a little off and I'm not sure of a way to fix it without erasing my original post....but it was 155 :P Current Weight (8/19): 157 Weight lost since last week: OMGOSH I GAINED 2LBS. bad bad bad Calories burned since last week: 1,080 Nutrition goal met?? nope. darn chocolate! How many miles did you…

What is it about vending machines that are so tempting! I swear they are magnetic. My TOM is in a week (or it should be) and the week before I always want to consume chocolate 24/7. OH NOOOOOO

ooooooh the horizonal belly dancing made me laugh. Being single as I am, I think I'll have to find another workout for today lol.

I'm in! I haven't measured in a while, but unfortunately I'm sure I've stayed the same :P Current Weight (8/19): 148.2 Weight lost since last week: zero Calories burned since last week: 1,000 Nutrition goal met?? ummm NO How many miles did you travel this past week: not any fitness wise. Stupid vacay mode! NEW GOALS for…

My name is Sam. I've been on MFP for nearly 8months but so far I've just been keeping track of my "normal" rather than improving. I'd like to join this group to be able to provide and receive accountability. There's just too much of life to live to worry about "if only...." so I'm going to be a WHEN and not an IF. :)

I think "Dancing, General" works just great. Hopefully some fitness guru will come along and can tell you precisely what that qualifies as, but if it was my journal I'd log it as that.

I am biased, cuz I'm a DANCER for goodness sakes so banning stretching would never fly. Personally I think that stretching before an exercise, especially running, doesn't do anything for me and could cause lower performance (I don't run for speed so I'm basing if off articles rather than my experience). Stretching does…

I'm 5'3" and my ultimate goal is 107lbs. But I'm shooting for 115 for now :) I have a pretty tiny bone structure so the lower end of the BMI ideal works for me. Have you tried goggling it? Basically you chose your bone structure size and it gives you an approximate goal range. Its not the dalai lama, but its a decently…

hey I'm a sign language interpreter ;) I'd recommend going to a community class (as someone else suggested). Learning a language wise nothing beats actually being able to use it and since ASL is such a manual and visual language it can be hard to learn from a book. www.aslpro.com really doesn't given accurate signs for a…

that mindless snacking makes me think I've barely eaten anything all day, and somehow I've consumed 2,000calories. HMMMMMM

I've never officially joined WW. I did look into it and the calorie/nuitrition thing is what got me. I love fruit too much. I could easily go 500cals over a day on that :P Ok and this is COMPLETELY shallow, but when I saw the WW success stories they all seemed to be in the 40s or up and while they were healthy they weren't…

a bit off topic from the original poster's comments I know, but once in church i got "you look good for having 4 kids!" Those kids were my siblings and I was 18yo and never had a single pregnancy :P Backhanded compliments are worse when the disclaimer isn't even accurate!

I'm doing her 30day method right now and I ordered metamorphosis, but it hasn't arrived yet!!!

ugh I hate that! I have celiac which means I can't eat a lot of food that is generally served and I've had people flat out say to my face say that I'm anorexic. Um, look at me...yep see that? that's called FAT and I eat loads, just not fast food or cafeteria junk! Different reason, same pain. Seriously if I actually was…

If its an intense dance/workout day..like today I burned 1200cals I will net 100-200 max (today my net is at 7. yikes). That being said I eat at least 1200cals/day and if its a major burn day (like today) I'll let myself eat up to 1500 if I want to.

it seriously does help ease the pain...even if you can't go "full out" on those days doing a less intense exercise definitely works. When I was younger I used to have to walk around the house to keep from crying due to cramps :( so I can say from experience a 15-30min walk works as good as any pain med!

I'm 5'3" and my goal is 107lbs :)

I just got a blister on top of a swelling with a tiny callous on top from my pointe shoes (I didn't even know that was possible..) I buy blister bandages. They are of a gel-like material and you just leave them on and they totally dry out a blister. Here is an example of what I bought. The brand doesn't matter in my…

It said my happy weight was 114lbs. Pretty close to my goal...although i'd like to be lower but I'd totally take that ;)

I have Celiac Disease which means celiac is a major no-no and dairy is strongly suggested I never touch :P

idk if you can see my pics...but the full-length one is me at 130. My ultimate goal is 107 and really i think it depends on you and your bone structure and how hard you are willing to work. 112 might be difficult to maintain but its your body so rock it ;)

I'm here too <3 I have "EDNOS" which for all I can tell means "you're disordered....but we don't know how..." but I'm def with you on the no judgment thing :) feel free to friend.

oh yeah :D

I'm nowhere near an expert, but I have "mild EDNOS" (eating disorder not otherwise specified) so I can get a bit where your GF is coming from. Honestly it helped the most when my bf would pretty much pound how beautiful I was into my head. I mean the guy must have worn that poor word out, and it took months, but I finally…

I love her stuff, I am doing the 30day method over again starting tomorrow and I hope to get metamorphosis soon!

Awww this is a great idea. I don't know if I'll get to three but i'll try... 1. my eyes. One is blue and one is hazel so they are pretty hardcore. 2. I'm rather fond of my hands too ;) 3. well its a blessing and a curse, but having such pale skin. It looks decent sometimes. sigh..made it!

I'm 5'3" and I think in this pic I was between 135-140lbs :) edit: I hope this pic works now....and yes I really own those obnoxious tights lol
