I go to 24hour Fitness and it's month by month, no long term contract so they aren't all like that.

I LOVE my gym!!!! Being in Washington with maybe 2 months a year without rain, it's ESSENTIAL! I go from 6-7 days a weeks so I definitely use mine to it's fullest potential. I love that everyone at the front desk knows me by name and so do all of the trainers and manager. It makes it a lot easier to go in when it feels…

Gotcha! Looking forward to the challenge!

Is this just for cardio or can I incorporate my trainer workouts into miles some how?

This sounds like a great challenge...is it too late to join?

I like the first one!

I am sooo stealing that quote for my signature :happy:

That was EXACTLY why the other weight loss attempts never worked for me...I kept lying to myself and could never get that simple concept through my head. This time, I log EVERYTHING that goes in my mouth!! I don't know why I understood that this time, but I'm sure glad I did!

BUMP!

I got a Polar FT4 off Ebay for $23 with free shipping! It was brand new, still in the package! It's not fancy but I don't need anything but calories, HR and time so its perfect for me :happy:

Mexican food or pizza.....I always plan those splurges cause once I start I ain't going to stop till the food is gone :blushing:

My favorite store is Torrid!!! They have a pretty large variety of styles. I like their jean because they sit lower in the waist...I always feel like LB pants go up to my arm pits. I'm a large chested girl as well and Torrid fitted tops tend to run a bit small but their stretchy stuff works great! There's a store in the…

My sister was VERY pear shaped and she lost all of her hips and thighs when she started running.

I'm going to be signing up for one next year...trying to decide on the location. It sounds like A LOT of fun!! Congrats!

I'm a cheek biter and I've tried to quit for years. I have noticed that the habit picks up considerably the more nervous or stressed I get. Also, when I get really hungry. I'm a nail picker as well...don't pick the actual nail, its more the sides. I just have a hard time holding still in general.

It seems like each time I've lost weight, my body changes differently. But since this will be the last time, I won't have to worry about that any more :happy:

Thanks!!

It's sooo much fun discovering a body I've never had! I keep pointing bones and muscles out to my trainer and he just shakes his head and laughs!

EXTREMELY excited for the movie!!! I agree with a few others that the acting in the movies was not the best but I'm still beyond excited to watch them :happy: I've taken my younger sister to the midnight showing for all of the movies so far and I have to say its a blast! Theaters full of screaming teenage girls is soooo…

I love your profile pic!!! I almost took one pointing at my now existent collar bones too the other day!

5'6" 249lbs 18 Torrid brand, 16 Lane Bryant (I'm pretty sure they made their sizes bigger recently)

I actually go to the 24 hour fitness right by the lake :happy: Haven't tried walking around it yet.

Thanks for the great ideas!! I'm writing all of them down! P.S. Hahaha...totally know what you mean! I made the mistake of wearing my headphone once and almost had a heart attack every time they came flying up behind me!

Definitely spiders!!!!!

Great idea! I used to work right by Marymoor and and friend and I always talked about doing that trail but never did....guess its time :)

Man, you are sooo lucky to live on the Burke Gilman trail!! I used to ride bikes there all the time when I was younger. I've tried walking it a few times but the bikers can get kinda vicious and after one almost took out my dog I stopped. I miss it though!

Give me a time and place and I'll be there!! I'm always looking for people to hike with!

Hello all! I live in Everett, WA and looooooove it here!! Was born and raised in Washington and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else! I love hiking and running Greenlake, rain or shine! Feel free to add me as a friend :happy:

Exactly!! This is what keeps me from eating while I cook dinner. I log everything that goes in my mouth because if I give myself an inch I'll take a mile so I have to be rigid. Since logging little bites in are really annoying, I just don't eat it :happy:

I workout after work but I always pack my gym bag with my workout clothes, HRM and makeup remover before work. I never have a problem getting to the gym when I go straight there after work...if I have to go home to change my likelihood of making it back out of the house drops dramatically!! I've tried the morning workouts…
