Fit it in anywhere you can! Even if it's only for a half hour something is better than nothing. There are days when I can get an hour to an hour and a half in and days where I can barely get 10 minutes in.

I just got the Flex on Saturday as a birthday present from my husband and I really enjoy it. :) I'm still trying to figure out how it syncs with myfitnesspal though.

This may not help but know that you're not alone! :) There are so many of us that have anxiety and depression. It will be hard but the first step towards working out through depression is getting out the door. There will be days when you have to force yourself out the door but once you do you will never regret it. From my…

Don't let this one picture upset you! Everyone has pictures that don't flatter them. It could be the angle, light, pose...

Love!

Bump! Best thread ever!

I am at work laughing none stop about this... It's almost embarrassing!

One of my neighbor's has a daughter that has Cystic Fibrosis (CF) and she has to eat a HIGH fat and HIGH salt diet due to how her body processes food. Whenever we are out for a bbq or dinner other parents seem to give her eyes whenever she's putting loads of butter on the bread or putting more salt on a burger. She also…

I feel out of the place and I've been going to gyms on and off for ten years! If you are worried about form try talking with a trainer. Employees at gyms are typically good about helping out. Take the time to look over the machines and see what they recommend for form. Take your time and just keep going back. You will get…

This! Totally wish I had curves!

I just simply say "No thank you." If they ask why I say, "I'm cutting back on sweets." If they ask why again I say, "Just a lifestyle change I'm working on." Any additional pressure or questions I just laugh off. Don't give into the pressure!

Such an inspiration! :)

Don't let someone else's wedding manage your life! If you want to get healthy then do it! You can always have the dress tailored to fit you later. Yes, it will be extra money... But it will at least stop your sister from complaining for the moment.

Like everyone else said, try a gym with childcare. :) If possible try and wake up an hour before you son and work out then, that way it's already out of the way. Personally, I wouldn't beat myself up too much if I miss a workout here and there. It sucks, but it's life... Kids come first and it wont be forever.

This, I'm always over my sugar.

Are we all supposed to drink human breast milk now?

This, I grew up on a cattle farm for beef. Next farm over was a milk farm. Real farmers do not kill five day old male cows... Real farmers do not harm their main source of income. Go spend a day on a farm a REAL farm. Not one that you see on tv, youtube or whatever...

Ten pounds in less than a month is A LOT! Don't beat yourself up. You've come a long way.

I know, right!? There is nothing wrong with fake boobs! But has anyone thought that the reason some of these women looks so amazing is because they got this amazing racks attached to these flat stomachs? There are exercises to make booties nice and round. Where are the exercises for my rack to develop into amazingess!?

Define cheeky? Butt cheeky? ....I'm here to make my butt cheekys look fabulous! I laugh a lot while I'm doing too! I actually just got caught doing squats in the bathroom at work. Not over the toilet to pee, in front of the mirror to watch my form! I'm always up for some laughs and I'm full of inappropriateness!

Stick too it! My second months is when I really started to see results on the scale. However, don't just go by the scale. Tape yourself and see if you're losing inches. I lost inches before I lost pounds. Keep in mind that different times of the month and what you ate the day (or days) before can factor in as well. Water…

This! Do what makes YOU happy.

Thanks for the input everyone! I prepared my breakfast to be a little larger so that will hold me off longer in the day. I find that my biggest problem is wanting to binge when I get home so I'm going to try and plan my snacks to have more good fats and protein. Research, research!

Awesome success story! <3 So happy for you!!!!

Lizzy622 I work with all military guys and they raid my food stash constantly! ::shakes head:: what's worst is they never replace anything! I did end up going to the vending machine... I got some pretzels. Blah. Just means I better work out today for sure!

Thanks for the advice, micheleb15. Yea, a banana, a piece of fruit, sometimes almonds, celery and hummus would normally be my afternoon snack. I've never had the ezekiel bread or almond butter so maybe I'll give that a go. Maybe if I make my afternoon snacks bigger I wont be so grumpy lol.

I do a chicken breast packed with lots of veggies! For snacks I will have some hummus with celery, tomatoes, or snap peas.

"I don't have time." or "I'm too stressed out." Exercise will help with the stress! :) If you don't have time MAKE time. Put somethings to the side... DVR your favorite show and instead of watching it go to the gym. Watch it when you come back as a reward. Wake an hour early, it sucks, but you feel so much better…

Amazing! You're an inspiration! :)

I've noticed the same thing too! I just recently added the sugar tracker and almost every day I'm over. At first I beat myself up over it...but I realized that most foods have some kind of sugar in them. I try to eat a piece of fruit every day and that along puts me at over half my allowed calories. Then you take in to…
