Hi there! I'm in the same boat as you. The friends I had when I was on here last year either dropped off or have dropped me due to my inactivity. But I'm back and ready to go! If you want you can add me. :-)

Hi Anna, My name is Lisa. I'm a graduate student, but I remember well of being an undergrad and trying to find time for things. Anyway, if you want to add me feel free to. I have a couple of friends who do paleo. It looks pretty cool.

Like everybody else...THANKS FOR POSTING THIS!

Yea....I'm thinking one round on the zumba wii should loosen things up....I hope...it just is so achy! I'll get started on trying to get more water in me as well!

Hydration might have been an issue. I bought a bottle of water, but I didn't finish it. :-( the flight was about 6 hours.

P.S. not to be an alarmist...but should I be concerned that my body hurts so much?

Awesome! Great job! You look great, and what's better....YOU FEEL BETTER!

Hi Stacy! I loved your post. And I know EXACTLY what you mean.... Let's do it sista! Let's be healthier versions of our fantabulous selves! Cuz we are already fabulous! We just gotta show the world just HOW fabulous we are!

Hi there! I completely understand where you are coming from. We can realize our beautiful selves soon! With a lot of hard work and a lot of good support! Sending you a friend request!

Me too! I need to lose 12 pounds-ish. :-) Count me in ladies. Oh i just noticed that the original posting was back in September. LOL :-) Hope that's alright. You guys seem to have a nice supportive atmosphere.

Thanks for that inspiring story. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks. After your guys' responses and reading other posts....I have to admit good shoes seem to be the key to the answer. :-) Thanks!

Yea...I should probably go. The prices of the shoes tend to scare me, but I've been told that if you pick the days they have sales it isn't too bad. So who knows. :-)

Sounds good. Out of curiosity what is your warm up routine? Right now, I follow the C25K and I do the 5 minute brisk walk, I tried to do some shin and calf stretches before too...

bummer I was afraid that might be the case.....I might have to go see a chiropractor though. I saw on another thread that they can help with the pain for shin splints as well. I really want to try the Jillian Michaels DVD, I think I'm getting it for my b-day from hubby "shhhh i totally don't know" lol

Hi there! Yea...I see the 2-3 pound cycle, but like you, when I'm actually staying on course I am on a downward trend in general....so....I think it's normal...or at least I hope it is too. :-)

I wish you luck. This time you will be able to do it in a healthy way. :-) I'm sorry about your past experience, and I hope this time around it will be a healthy weightloss :-)

It depends on the person's current weight, how much they want to lose, maintain, or gain, and what their activity level is. I would say that the myfitnesspal calculator is fairly accurate. :-)

I was thinking about switching to the gummy ones....I hate the after taste for the ones I'm taking now...plus they do sound yummy!

Hi there, I know what you mean, by the time you finish the housework and classwork you are pretty exhausted. Plus being a mom can't help in planning out an exercise routine. :-) Welcome to MFP, you will be able to improve your life style greatly. Even though I haven't lost a lot of weight, I already feel a lot better about…

That is wonderful! You must be so proud of yourself. :-) You look fantastic

Good point....maybe neither side was really mean or shallow, just different. If he felt bothered by it, instead of just deleting her comments maybe he could have told her in a private message. i know if I was doing something to upset someone I would prefer they tell me, instead of avoiding the problem. Perhaps the OP could…

LOL exactly.

I think you are fine. Depending on the situation when someone calls me hun or darlin, I get taken a back, but I'm never offended. It's just I don't hear it that often. But honestly, it does make me feel pretty good. lol. I like pet names, I reserve special ones for my husband, and he gave me my unique one. :-) So I feel…

I know my dad....*sigh*....used to say that he wouldn't hire a fat person because that shows they lack self control (gee thanks for the support dad). (keep in mind my dad is Japanese--their obesity rate is still relatively low--although the numbers are inching up over there). However, after graduating from college I was…

If he gets caught at it, I suppose it could be a discriminatory act. Although....I'm not sure if perceived "ugliness" is considered discriminatory by law...but I would not want to work for someone like that anyway. *disgusted*

Reporting in for Team 5... a combination of two weekend parties and TOM has won this week's battle 213.8 They may have won the battle but I shall win the war!

Hey Gang, My current weight is....211.8 :-D so close to 210...AHHHH I can taste it! I coudln't remember my previous week so I looked back in the "reports" I think it was 212.8ish....or somewheres about there. :-D Thanks for the motivation Bun-A-Losers! *edit--oh for Team 5. :-D

LOL NICE! I can't wait for that day. :-)

Awesome! You look great and confidant. :-)
