I just ran my second 5K this past weekend - at a 12 minute mile continuous running! I really had never ran any significant distance before I started training for 5Ks and I was suprised with what I learned: When I first first started running about a year ago I was surprised that at the beginning running CLEANS YOU OUT! It…

LOVE IT!

6/13 - Birthday... Not very original and my hubby was slightly offended that I didn't use our anniversary.... In fact, I think it may have been my junior high screen name back when AIM was cool.

I'm am no expert but I switched to Greek yogurt on the recommendation of my personal trainer. She advised that I look at lables and sugar content - the processed sugars in regular yogurt (and some brands of greek), despite the low calories, will sit right on my problem area: my extra tire around my gut!

Measure yourself instead... Worry about those numbers not the scale!

My mother-in-law is the QUEEN of backhanded complements/passive agressive! She LOVES to tell me how incredibly fat she was as a 20-something and how she was this whale of a person at a size 12... That's my current size after being a 18-20 for most of my 20's!!! She clips weight loss articles and buys weight watchers…

Just moved to the Burgh a year ago... west side... Feel free to add me!

Please, please, please do not do this to yourself!!! I went on HCG twice - yes, I lost weight, 20+ lbs, but I compromised my health to get there. Because of the lower calorie intake, I was not getting the vitamins and minerals my body needed to survive. I began to lose my hair and had a higher risk of infections. This lead…

I got one for Christmas and it's amazing! Their customer service is fantastic and they immediately replaced it when I oops flushed it down the toilet - apparently it's a common problem :) I have the Zip and it comes with a little usb port doggle that will sync to your fitbit when your computer is on and you are within 20…

I did several rounds of the drops - and was quite successful dropping almost 50 pounds. BUT my body was not getting enough vitamins and minerals on a daily basis. My hair was falling out, my immune system was struggling and I became very suseptible to staph infection, my body was weak and ached. I recommend doing research…

Feel free to add me too! I'm a Christian living on the west side of Pittsburgh...

Cranberries, orange juice, cinnamon stick and approx. a cup of sugar - boil until they burst and let simmer for 20 minutes.

I have the same problem! I eat eat eat when snacks are around and I'm bored. What worked for me while I'm here at work (bored too) was having someone to hold me accountable. I literally have to pass her station to go to the break room - and there are doughnuts back there today - and she gives me the stink eye when I pass…

I saw success with ViSalus 3 years ago and have recently started drinking 1 shake for lunch again. The initial price was a bit of a shocker. But if you are spending about a hundred dollars for 2 meals a day plan times 30 meals That's a $1.67 per meal! You can't MAKE something for that price! I did not purchase any of the…

I JUST went to the dr yesterday to discuss weight loss (or in my case, lack thereof) and they just did a consultation and a blood test during which they will test for a gluten allergy, thyroid condition, insulin levels, and a few other things dealing with any metabolic issues. If you feel like doing such a test will help…

Hello! I just joined a week ago thinking I'd just use this site to track calories and exercise for myself... but now I think it would be nice to have some support along the way! I am a 27 year old Christian. I got married in January and put on about 20 pounds of "happy weight" which doesn't make me too happy at 199lbs.…
