Honestly, it was just the first week or so that I either had to hold it to a break (I was going every single break, usually multiple times) and then my body regulated so I was going at the breaks and not doing the "pee dance" while I was teaching. I think I've asked someone to keep an eye on my class two or three times…

I'm SO close to finishing. Five days left! It'll be quite the celebration when I complete it.

I'm constantly needing to use the washroom. There's been a time or two when I've needed to ask someone to watch my class while I run quickly to the washroom (luckily it is just across the hall) but now that my body is getting used to the water, I don't pee as often.

My brother is getting married in August and my best friend in September. Trying to slim down for both of them! So far down 14 inches and 5.5% body fat!

I have and I LOVE them. I bake mine. I cut them up nice and thin - almost like shoestring fries but a little thicker - and toss them with different spices. Sometimes I'll make them "spicy", other times with simply salt and pepper. I haven't had them yet when I don't like them!

I have 65 to lose as well! Adding you! :)

Congratulations! You're doing amazing! I'm going to add you!

I'm in!

I haven't had any pop since Ash Wednesday. I cut it out for lent and haven't drank it since. I'm sure carbonation would feel weird now.

I'm in!

That was me last weekend! Get back to the gym asap and back on the proper eating wagon and you'll feel better!

I'm doing WW now. I'm on the new points system and have 29 daily points. I have a Points Calculator that I just put in the nutritional information on a food and it tells me how many points it is. It's great for those items that are not clear in the book. I've lost 13 pounds. However, I have found that I've lacked…

I'm in! Let's do it!

Yep, it happens to me. When I'm about to get my period, I try to stay away from food that will make me bloated (ie. salty foods). It's not always successful as that it what I crave when I get my period, LOL.

Wow! Your story is extremely inspiring to live each day to the fullest and to never take things for granted. I am proud of the weight you have lost. Please add me on here so we can cheer each other on.

I was the same way. I gained about 3 lbs since losing 10 but was still losing inches. Today, I got on the scale and I am down 11.5 in total.

I'm working during it. I'm glad that I won't be at a party with all kinds of food temptations around but upset that I am missing the game.

A new wardrobe (because it will be necessary!) and a tattoo!!!

Week 1, Day 1 completed today! I am pumped for my next run!

Definitely, Nicole! That sounds great! We're both aiming for the same goal which is awesome. Not sure if you're still going to Primer but if you got a membership and want a workout buddy, let me know! Thank you for the warm welcome everyone! I hope we can all achieve our goals together!

I use Suz's podcasts when I do my run. I find the music she has is more my "type" of music then the other ones I have found. Here is the link for it. http://www.kissmyblackass.org/podcasts/

I'm going to re-start this at the gym. It's just too damn cold to run outside right now and hopefully move outdoors when the night weather hits!

I find my problem isn't what I am eating throughout the day but that when I get home from school, I am starving and I eat whatever I see. At one of the schools that I work at, we're not on a balanced day (two ten minute recesses and one hour lunch). At the first recess, I have an All-Bran Bar and a piece of fruit. At…
