  • Go for a run 2x this week :)
  • Lol a spite-fueled personal best! :lol: We got this!
  • Got back out there for a run again!
  • I am a slow runner too! I run on and off, and am just getting back into it after about a year and a half hiatus. I have about a 15 minute mile, 13 is pushing it and probably the fastest I can go right now. My fastest mile ever was 9:04, 25 pounds ago when I was running very regularly for races. I used to get frustrated…
  • @MeganD1704, how's LIIFT4? I've been kicking around the idea of getting On Demand for a lil while because of that program. I don't like the idea of renting programs though, I'd really much rather own them (that's why I haven't gotten On Demand)
  • @tgillies003 , It's on the discs, I don't know about On Demand. I have never used On Demand so I can't provide any insight. Can anyone else here answer?
  • Right now I am doing P90X3, but am substituting the workouts that I don't like with ones from other programs (like I really dislike Triometrics so instead I do 21 Day Fix's leg day). My partner is doing it with me and our workouts are much better when we're together! I also really like 21 Day Fix and will squeeze in a week…
  • Guess what y'all.......they have a "Mute Tony" button!! When you start the video, choose "Music and Cues". There's music (obvs), and all that comes out of his mouth is the exercise and a start count! I just finished the best workout I've had in weeks :smiley:
  • Thank you all, for your insights and personal stories. Of course, it's not only losing weight-related goals, but these are some great life concepts. @KrissCanDoThis, I deeply understand what you are saying! my goals are there, sometimes contained and sometimes overflowing. But I really like what @NovusDies and others are…
  • Not too much affected. My state and city are leading the panic, but I go to school online and work from home anyways! No kids, and my husband's work is super secluded also. I'm just irritated that all the stores here are out of chicken wings! Yesterday, though, the travel ban for military families means I am stuck in this…
  • dem eyebrows...give em to me strong and thick 🤤
  • To exercise four of the five next weekdays! I have gotten to where I can work out three of the five weekdays consistently, and am ready to add another day!
  • Hey all! My energy level is soaring! I went to work, and after I got home I did some chores, straightened up my living and dining rooms, cooked a real dinner, and even did the dishes! Normally I'd get home from work and lay on the couch for an hour or two, then microwave a sad unsatisfying dinner before laying on the couch…
  • Thanks!! 😄 It's so interesting to me how my tastes change so rapidly during this health journey. When I am not focused or I am struggling, all that lard and fat and greasy foods look so appealing and it takes so much of it to satisfy me and it's never gross. But it's like, only after just a few days or a week or so of…
  • Totally resisted the siren call of pancakes, bacon, hashbrowns, and eggs cooked in basically lard the other day from a breakfast chain restaurant near me. Opted for a home-made egg white scramble with turkey sausage and an apple. The call was quite strong, I'm still feeling pretty proud from that!
  • Hahaha! Love your attitude, thanks for the motivation!!!
  • Oh wow!!! I am so proud of you!!! Your health has improved so much, you're in control, you've figured out what works and what doesn't, these are all such wonderful accomplishments!!! Thanks for sharing with us, and thank you for motivating me!!!
  • SORRY TO INTERRUPT THE SOCK FEST BUT THIS IS FUN I HAVE BEEN HAVING AN EXCELLENT DAY AND I WANT YOU ALL TO HAVE ONE TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • I want to show my family that I am better and stronger without them, and that I have moved on from their drama. Emotionally and mentally I've moved on, but I feel like my body is still kind of 'holding' me back
  • Lol at the various above comments, I saw a Disagree on my decision to run a race, and I was like, "...wha...? Maybe they're disagreeing about the humidity part?" Then I noticed all the other disagrees with everyone else. I feel sorry for people who rain on others' parades, if that's the case. Anyways!! I came down with a…
  • I know this is probably not what you want to hear...but you mentioned above that this is day 3. So, you're quite early in your journey. You're uncomfortable, because you made a change in your life. Unfortunately, that's part of this process...change, and the unsettling feelings that come with it. As suggested above and…
  • Way to go!!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 Sounds like you've come to a balance that is working for you, I'm sure adding in gym trips will make you feel even stronger and prouder! Keep it up!!!
  • Great job, everyone! I love reading all these NSVs, they're so motivating! I decided today that I am going to sign up for a half marathon this year! I realized that I have done at least one half marathon in every city we've lived in, so this new one will be no exception! I'm still deciding when in the year to do it --…
  • I go through phases, where for weeks on end I'll weigh every day. Then I won't weigh in at all for a month or two, then I'll weigh in everyday for a little while. Back and forth! I can't say I've determined it to help or hinder my weight loss efforts, but it's almost like a pseudo-obsession for when I am in a weighing…
  • I felt pretty today! I've been feeling kinda like a lump of a person since Thanksgiving or so, even with working out and eating good. But something about today, with the sun shining, my hair fell right, my clothes fit comfortable...something...I felt rather lovely today and it seemed to show. Cashiers were extra smiley and…
  • I am so proud of and happy for everyone here!! Way to go!! I just did a total of 9 assisted pull ups! I used to be able to do them unassisted, but had regressed. I'd been almost afraid to try and see how many I could do (fear of failure? embarrassing myself? I was alone in my living room, so idk feeling kinda silly now!).…
  • I think it was inappropriate, really, for the interviewer to bring it up at all. Of course, fitness celebrity and workout-video business woman will bring up obesity in America. It's her deal. I feel like interviews like this are nothing but tricks to pit more and more people against one another, celebrity and otherwise.…
  • I got one as a gift years ago (I don't remember the details though...white elephant, maybe?). It's wooden with a short handle. I absolutely love it! In addition to keeping my hands and arms safe from accidental burning, it's just fun! To me, it makes pizza night even more fun for the family. Transferring both the cooked…
  • I (once again, for like the 2644th time) realized I'm a "serial starter". I go real good for a while, then peter out, then get re-energized for some reason and start all over again. But this realization was a little different...isn't that, like, everyone? We all have moments of doubt and stalling. With this thought came…
