@ParanormaLauren Yes! I love dancing! I'm even trying to incorporate going out more so I get more dancing outside the gym, too.

@bluepoppies777 Dreary days are so depressing! Hang in there! I hope you're so proud of yourself for ignoring those treats. That is such a challenge. We had donuts at work the other day; it seemed like they were everywhere! Stay strong :smile: @Rachel0778 I'm glad you're feeling better! I hope the healthy habits challenge…

Ahhh! You ladies are so awesome! I'm a little behind, but I love getting caught up with what's going on with everyone :smile: @nickiphillips1 I've tried online dating. It's mostly horrible, but I didn't meet my last boyfriend online. We dated for 3 and half years, before I broke it off about a month ago. Not sure if that…

Woohoo! Great job, @KimF0715 !!!!

@sabinki I love that you have a plan! I hear you about eating and watching tv! Mindless eating is the worst for me. @alaskandelight I'm sorry to hear about your dad! I'll keep him in my thoughts and prayers. Thanks for the foodie tips! I'll bet your pad thai is going to be awesome! Have a great hike. Nature has an…

@ParanormaLauren I love it! Thanks for sharing :smile: @mshelyla Great job on getting started! I have a bad habit of just avoiding something if it seems to hard. I love the way to broke it down to make it doable! At work, we've got a bunch of mandatory overtime, so managements' trying to bribe us with food. There are tons…

@CT0526 That sounds lovely. I'm glad you got a chance to get away and start healing. @fitzmonkey13 Sounds like you found a balance between enjoying yourself and not going overboard. Sounds like a great weekend. Good for you! @happysherri I hear you about drama! I'm glad thing are back to normal for you. @nickiphillips1 I…

I got to spend some time journaling by the water today. It was lovely!

Welcome @alaskandelight We're glad to have you! I love that you're a foodie! We look forward to you sharing some recipes :wink: @sabinki If you use a computer, there's an "attach a file/image" icon. I haven't figured it out for a mobile phone yet. I'm not even sure if that worked.....

@janetay01 Wow! Have a good weekend! sounds busy busy! @jdelaroy Oh no! I hope things have smoothed out today. Have a good time skating! I finally got to the gym before work today, but then I was starving all morning! I'm evening out now, though :smile:

@str8bowbabe Ugh! I feel your pain. If something's in front of me, I have such a hard time saying no! It was just one meal, though, it doesn't have to get you down for the rest of the day. I hope you enjoyed it!! @rdevol I'm so glad the accountability helped! Good for you! @ParanormaLauren Awesome job with the Biggest…

@dlm4mom Good for you! That's always a struggle for me to log when I know I'm going way over. That's awesome that you're staying accountable. @jessiquoi I think it's awesome that you set out to walk anyway! Keep up the motivation. With discipline like that, you can work your way up to anything! @fitzmonkey13 What a good…

@sabinki Nice job on the 25 lbs gone! I like what you said about it being a life change. :smile:

@wellthenwhat Ah! Sometimes all or nothing is easier than moderation. I'm still proud of you :wink: @jessiquoi Great strategy! I like it.

@Rachel0778 I thought I already posted a response, but I guess I never hit "post"! Anyway, I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through. I'm proud of you for continuing to take care of your health through this, hopefully it helps you emotionally, as well. @jdelaroy Good for you! That's so great that you're able to see…

@ParanormaLauren Great job on the Biggest Loser Challenge! Did you find out who the winner was? @jessiquoi Great job on not overdoing it! I always seem to struggle with overeating around my family. I think it's just familiar surroundings make it easy to fall back into old habits. Here's to building new habits around our…

@aleahurst I agree! It can be so defeating. The number on the scale isn't what makes me look better or have more energy, or feel better about myself. It's getting healthy that really makes the difference! Keep an eye out for those non-scale victories!

@wellthenwhat I really like your idea of lowering calories during the week, so you have more room on the weekends. I think I'm going to adopt it! Thanks for sharing :smile: @happysherri Sounds like a killer workout! Great job getting building up the cardio. Thanks for sharing the positive thoughts for the day. @aleahurst I…

@jessiquoi Woohoo! Have a great workout! @wellthenwhat Nice job on the without, and your breakfast sounds delicious! I'm off to Zumba class in a little bit!

My last boyfriend wasn't a "gym rat", but he had an eight pack and was muscular and he's always preferred bigger women. (For context, I'm 5'8 and over 300lbs.) So, yeah, some guys do.

What?! No, I haven't. Do tell...

Can you try compromising? Have the pizza and/or beer, but maybe try to get a walk/workout in as well. Or ask someone to help keep you accountable to just one piece of pizza and one beer. It might help if you mostly fill up on something healthy first instead of diving into pizza when you feel like you're starving.

Thanks for posting! I'm just getting back into this, so I'm adding a bunch of you!

For me, it's more important to be healthier long term. That means that whatever changes I make, I have to be able to live with. So, moderation is key! There is no way I'm not eating ice cream or pizza for the rest of my life, so I have to figure out how I can work that into my everyday life.

I just enter strength training in the cardio section, and it gives me a calorie burn. I'm not sure how accurate it is, though.

Everyone wants to be the exception. Instead of admitting that you're willing to work harder than I am, it's easier for me to tell myself that it's just not as hard for you. Maybe that's her attitude. I've never only had a small amount of weight to lose, so I can't speak from experience, but as someone who's very…

I hear you! I love sweets! For me, it's important not to deprive myself, so I try to just have a small serving of whatever I'm craving. I also try to make sure that I really savor and enjoy every treat, so that I get the full psychological benefit and the satisfied feeling.
