I'm on day 5 and I LOVE it! I was planning on doing C25K starting tomorrow, but I love 30DS so much, I'm putting C25K off until April. Good luck!!!! Feel free to add me!

My first day of 30 Day Shred done, and weights tonight!

If the infection isn't too advanced, then cranberry juice should help. It's always worked for me.

Try Cheerios, the serving size for them is one cup and it's only 100 calories. If you want them sweet, try Stevia In The Raw. I have this and either 1/2 cup of 1% milk or 1/2 cup of Almond milk. It's really good.

Me too! I was shocked. So when we get pizza now, I get a thin crust Canadian Bacon and pineapple.

I just bought a couple of outfits in the smallest size I've been in 4 years! And now I see hope to be in clothes smaller than I've worn since JR. HIGH!!!!

I never thought I would want or have any kind of e-reader, but, do to space issues when we moved, I had to get rid of a LOT of my books. I'm not sure exactly how many I had, but I had enough to fill up five 6 ft. and four 3 ft. shelves. Now I have two 6 ft shelves and one 3 ft shelf. However I have over 300 books on my…

Excedrin Migraine works great. It has caffeine in it. Drink tea, hot or iced with stevia or just unsweet. You're having caffeine withdrawls. I'm having one of those headaches right now. Midol also works. Good luck. I just haven't been able to give them up completely. I wish you luck!!!

I literally have to do some sort of physical activity..not exercise specifically, but get up and move to distract myself.Sometimes, I'll get a bottle of water and get on here and browse the message boards until the bottle is gone. If it's during the day, then I will go walk around the block or something like that. This has…

I'm sorry, but I totally disagree. My grandfather weighed around 350 lbs when he passed and the medical examiner told us his skeleton weighed close to 100 lbs. His bones were huge and really dense. It's true that some people use "big boned" as an excuse, but it's not fair to lump everyone together.

Book 6 is scheduled to be published this year...it is supposed to be the final book. Martin said sometime last year that there would NOT be 7 books. He's, hopefully, going to finish it up with book 6. I'm just scared that he will keel over dead like Robert Jordan did before he could finish The Wheel of Time!!!

I absolutely love the story. I've read all 5 and the first 3 went really quick, the 4th was harder to hang with and the 5th was crazy! There is A LOT going on. It's a very, very in depth story. It is kind of hard to keep up with all the different characters and places. My husband is reading them on audio, and the guy, yes…

I am hosting the Super Bowl party this year, so it will be way easier for me this time around. I'm fixing grilled sliders made with 50/50 ground turkey and lean hamburger meat, 2% cheese and TONS of veggie toppings. I also found whole wheat slider buns! I've got the veggie dip recipe ready and everyone brings their own…

I'm eating between 1800-2100/day and eating back about half of my workout calories and still losing every week. I've lost 11 lbs since Jan. 1st.

The best thing I have found is to log EVERY SINGLE THING that goes in my mouth. If I have a piece of sugar free/zero calorie gum, I log it. I just had a really bad night and morning and put myself right back on track. For me, it's a mind game, along with the physical exercise and eating. I talk to myself about this all the…

I'm on the 100+ pounds to lose journey too. I was really surprised to find so many people working to lose that much! It sure helps me not feel so alone. I'll be adding y'all for sure!! Good luck to everyone, and I'm looking forward to all the success we're going to have this year!!!

I think it's awful...I have seen more than my share of GROWN UPS...obviously past college age in pj's and slippers. I just witnessed this AT THE MALL last weekend. This woman was grown..she had a wedding set on her left ring finger and was obviously past her early 20s. She had on print bottoms and a print top that didn't…

I always make sure the skin is off. There is so much fat in the skin, it's ridiculous. I use a little bit of granulated garlic, some poultry seasoning, sea salt and black pepper. I also sometimes put in rosemary and paprika. My kids are pretty picky too, but they love my chicken. And I use the same seasoning in the crock…

Sprinkle some lemon or lime juice on the cut avacado and it will keep it from going brown for a couple of days.

I don't dump people for not logging in daily. I have a friend who is deploying, and she won't be able to log in all the time. I'm not going to dump her because she's doing her job and not logging in on the computer.

My husband is doing this with me. He's very supportive and positive about it all. I hope everyone who is in a relationship has a very supportive significant other!

I allow myself 1-2 Dr Peppers a day. This is down from 6-8/day. I've adopted the moderation in everything way of thinking. If I want it, I have it. My son bought Krispy Kreme Donuts from a friend for a fund raiser and he brought me one home. I had asked for 1. I ate half of it. You just have to learn what you can and…

We have tilapia regularly. I used to coat with cornmeal and fry, now I either pan fry with a little olive oil and various seasonings, or cook it on my George Foreman grill. We did the grill thing earlier this week, and it was awesome. I just spray the grill with Pam and cook it for about 4 minutes. We had Uncle Ben's brown…

I'm 5'8", and just starting out. I'm 11 days in and have lost 4 lbs total. My SW is 315 and my first MAJOR goal is 200 lbs. Eventually I would like to be around 175. No pics yet, will have to get my hubby to take a couple and put them up. Feel free to add me! Kendra

My husband andI have a standing "date night" when he has a weekend day off. Tomorrow will be our first date night since starting our healthy eating/weight loss journey. I'm not sure how it's going to go, but I know I'm going to NOT order as big a meal as I did before. I know I do way better sticking to a healthy eating…

I have two. My son is 16 and my daughter is 10. Kudos to those of you with more. I don't know how you do it! My 2 keep me going all the time. But I sure do love it!

I don't understand how that is possible. The buffalo chicken pizza is over 1000 and the sandwich is over 900, and the same thing at Buffalo Wild Wings is 908. I think something got misprinted somewhere and it's been copied a whole bunch, because any info I found was EXACTLY the same at what you posted. That's pretty odd.…

I'm finding that eating literally every 2-3 hours works best. Just make sure it's not more that 200-250 calories, and it's balanced. Some protien, some fat, some good carbs. Reduced fat Wheat Thins and Laughing Cow Light cheese is AWESOME! The Wheat Thins are only 160 calories and you get 16 of them. One of the light…

Going to Six Flags last year and being the fattest girl there. Seriously. It was AWFUL. And on top of that, I almost had to get off of a roller coaster because they just about couldn't get the bar down over my big gut. And not being able to sit in a chair and cross my legs to tie my shoes.

I'm up for more encouraging and encouragement! My long term goal is to lose 115 lbs by February 2014. I'm on here every day, logging food, exercise and browsing the message boards. I answer all emails. Have you tried Crystal Light to help with drinking more water? I didn't think I was going to like it, but it's actually…
