yes please :)

I get up at 4am so that I can fit my workout in. maybe you could leave the kids at daycare an extra hour so that you can workout?

I love hot water with lemon!! never had a problem though. maybe something else is going on with your body. Or, maybe you bought a bad lemon?

I'm in :) SW 186 GW 178 Self Challenge: workout at least 4 days a week for 45+ minutes.

Mrbiggies has the right idea. Its the donkey kick...works wonders :)

I'm not sure about all the side effects but i do know one thing, its not as easy as it sounds. I work in a test kitchen and try to chew/spit all the time. Its really hard not to swallow once its in your mouth, espcially if its something you like. And not to mention its kinda of a gross sensation. What about only taking…

I do this all the time! ' why do i even try? Even if i do hit my goal it wont be long before i'm right back where i started' guess its just self esteem issues. I've never been thin and cant really imagine it trully workin out for me. But i have been on one diet or another almost my entire life so maybe once i find…

Yes please :)

I started a new job in a research kitchen. I ‘invent’ new fried foods that are sold in restaurants and the freezer section. I gained 30 pounds in my first 4 months. talk about depressing!! I finally realized that I need to get my weight under control or my job would end up killing me.

So, I didn’t do all that bad on this challenge. I made sure to stay away from the TV as much as possible (weekends included). And guess what…. I barely did any night time snacking (my favorite is sitting in front of the TV and eat dry, sugary cereals…Ahhhh). The only time I found myself sitting and eating was Sunday night…

Actually I am required to eat the food I work with. I actually 'invent' new recipes and therefore need to sample everything. it's pretty rough. I just ate about 10 different cheese curds (not the best way to start a day). Kinda brings me down, I try so hard with my workouts and other eating...just to have it destroyed due…

Processed deli meats were once in a liquid/paste form. Yummy!!

No TV after work for a week! I always want to eat if i'm on the couch watching the big fat boob tube. Gonna stay active :happy:

Glad to hear i'm not the only one who doesnt like breakfast. Give me a cup of joe and i'm good to go till 11 or so. If i eat breakfast i snack on junk all day.

So is this for all fried foods? I surely hope not…I work in a test kitchen and I have to eat fried foods quite often. If what you say is correct then no matter how hard I work, I will always be overweight because of my job.

I can’t do cheat days. I’m an ‘all or nothing’ type of gal. One cheat day usually leads to 2 cheat days and then I struggle to get back on track.

My longest fast was 72 hours. It’s not as hard as one might think (if you’re in the right frame of mind). I’m interested to see how adding a workout affects you. Good luck :)

me too, me too :)

yes, I would like it to have a GPS.

looking for the basics-heart rate monitor, record distance/pace, calorie counter, timer...etc... thanks for the link :)

I too struggle with his. and the worst is…once I start I can’t stop! And it never fails, one bad day leads to 2 which leads to a horrible week! I struggle with getting myself back on track. Guess I just need to realize that I’m going to make mistakes, I just need to accept them and move on 

click on your friends button and if their diary is open you should have the option to 'view diary" :)

my diary is open. however, I must admit, I forget to jump on sometimes :( also, I work in a test kitchen so sometimes my calories are all over the board. I've lost 9 lbs. since I've started working with a trainer last month...changes were definitely needed to get my ball rolling! it would be nice to have more friends so I…
