Two years and 37 lbs apart

You look so amazing! Congrats!

I gave up pop a few years ago. I allow myself one a week but rarely even have that. I used to drink 4-8 a day. I just gave it up, it sucked at first. Like really, really sucked. But after a few weeks you stop craving it completely. I've noticed it's the same way with all sugar. Just stop eating/ drinking it and you'll stop…

Thanks for the input, there are definitely a few of these I'll be adding.

BUMP

I live in Schaumburg and I'm 32, but we can still be friends if you want.

I hate mouth sounds, chewing, rattling, smacking, sucking. Eww!

Gene! Johnny Depp was way to creepy to even watch.

I hated reading "Of Mice and Men" great book but it was a tough read for me.

abhishekc2q - latino?

Wow, this is a tough one, but I'll give it a shot.

Oh dear lord

I can make a meal for four from scratch with meat for about $5, you can't feed four for $5 at any fast food place. Veggies are not expensive, maybe organic is, but if it's either non-organic or over processed crap, veggies still win. I have a real issue with the whole "it's too expensive to eat healthy" excuse. Yes, maybe…

I'm on it!!!!

That looks really yummy. Thanks, I think I'll try this one out.

The C25k app on my phone changed my life. It starts you alternating 1 min of running and 90 secs of walking. It keeps increasing until you are running a full 5k. I couldn't run a mile (or even half a mile) now I can run 2 miles without stopping and I'm not even done with the training program. Plus it's free!!!

Water is the only 0 calorie drink for me. IMO - if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

My last name has 12 letters in it so I'll pass but very cute idea.

Nope, not leading a displined lifestyle. Feeling the need to throw your perfect lifestyle in the faces of people confessing their weaknesses does.

Wow, great for you. Feeling superior now?

Edit: oops double post

Yesterday I ate four thin mints AND a tagalong (Girl Scout cookies).

Johnny Cash!!!!! There are others, but they are not Cash.

U2 I don't really mind them, I just happen to think they are grossly over rated.

Men of a certain age will always sing to me, "Michelle, my belle." My mother was a huge Beatles fan (one of the few things we have in common) and named me after her favorite song.

I pretty much agree with all of this. I usually use regular dressing and dip the fork, I use about half a normal serving (1 tbsp.) If the salad itself is pretty exciting (with meat, cheese, olives, something with a lot of flavor) I can get away with only using lemon juice, but it has to be fresh lemon juice from a lemon,…

You are looking fabulous! Great job!

Right now I'm running inside partly because of weather and partly because I have issues pacing myself and a treadmill really helps me do that. I'm excited about running outside when the weather improves though.

1 tbsp. flax seed meal 1 c. baby spinach 1/2 a banana 3 strawberries 1/4 c. pineapple 1/2 c. blueberries 1/2 c. pure carrot juice 1/4 c. acai juice 1/2 c. skim milk 1/4 c. fat free greek yogurt I love this recipe. It has tons of vitamins, fiber, calcium, protein and it tastes great.
