Awesome!! This is fabulous! Boycotting Starbucks is one of the 2 hardest parts of ;osing weight. I almost rried when I found out my whit chocolate grande mocha was 500 calories all by itself; and thats without the caramel sauce I like to get added to the top of it. I used to drink 3-4 of these a day..... now maybe one a…

^^I concur! Muscle weighs more and is heavier than fat; so the scale should not be the only thing you rely on - but take your measurements as well. You may see no movement or even an increase on the scale, but you will show improvement with less inches on your waist, hips, and thighs.

Just do not think of it as a mountain, think of it as a hill. And I do believe most runs have training programs associated with them for free (as long aas you are signed up for the race). Once you are running, you get caught up in the group, because everyone is there with you and cheering you on (complete strangers). I did…

You picked the right group to do this! I also have neurological issues; so anytime you need help just send me an email. We'll help you reach your goals one step at a time. You got this!

Ha ha!! I totally lost the challenge and pigged out on everything (especially seafood) that I could not get while deployed; but I'm back on track (and I can not report to school over weight either) to hopefully blast through 140!! 5 more lbs to go!!

Totally my fault on me not responding.... I traveled half way around the world from Kuwait to Hawaii, had to find a home, pick up my Chemi, arrange shipment of my household goods, finish my master's thesis, and am STILL unpacking. I have not even got a Christmas tree up yet.... so I guess I am also Miss. Bah Hum Bug this…

:bigsmile: @barbie: The vibes totally worked!!! Keep bringing it!! Thank you!:flowerforyou:

F**king fabulous! Down to 141 lbs! I truly thought with all that traveling I was going to gain some weight! :drinker: He, he, I can do this now...

Aloha everybody! I apologize for being absent, I may or may not be traveling half way around the world right now - so I totally missed the Saturday weigh in - but I can tell you when I weighed in with my ruck sack at the military terminal I weighed 193lbs; does that count? That would be a 48 lbs increase since last week; I…

Aloha Ericka!! I truly hope you feel better!! Definitely try those soups, they look amazing! How are you doing?

I apologize for being late, we've been soo busy packing up and moving that I've just been OBE. I am 145lbs - up one lb from last week. Lol, definitely stressing - gained a lbs back and it is NOT water - I have not been drinking no where near enough.

Awesome!! Congrats!!! *happy dance*

Another plateau!! 144 and holding! It's most like I am stressing over the thesis, it's almost done!! Thank goodness! And we are getting ready to go home, I have to find a place to stay, I can't wait to go home and see my dog! Yea!! I'll be home in less than 3 weeks! ~sigh~ But this d*** thesis needs to be finished…

Jules, I would not worry. I do the same as you. Work out what is comfortable for YOU. Just becasue that is what works for them maynot work for you too. I am sure there are arguments both ways, "after cardio your body is in fat burning mode, blah, blah, blah," but again do what makes you feel good, because at the end of the…

Fabulous job everybody! Keep up the great work!!

ROTE, what are you waiting on girl? Get a move on now.

@brewster: That's awesome! A loss of inches counts too!! Yea!!

@lorikeet: No worries! You got this! We all get a little bloated during that time.

Ha, ha, ha!!! You know they have a pool here, but I don't know.... it just seems .... ewh! after you don't don't how many people have been in there and you don't know how often they clean it..... I'll just wait until I get home! It's fast approaching!!! :bigsmile:

Wow, you look like two totally different people! Congrats on your progress!

Finish my Master's thesis by this December!

Hey!! Welcome to the crew!! I'll send you a friend invite shortly!!

DO NOT say that!! You will absolutely get turned down. If I'm someplace trying to relax and enjoy myself and some dude I do NOT know comes up and says that - my reaction is definitely not going to be very pleasant. Seriously man, you have 10 pages of good advice here and the only thing you seem to have gotten out of it is…

Give it a try - they only had boxing twice a month where I am at currently, but it was a definitely a great workout! I will be looking for a more regular schedule when I get home next month to become more active in it. Also how to properly punch is definitely something to learn; I'd most likely would have broken my wrist…
