Thank you. Yed. I have to be careful with nuts and seeds, between diver and trying to keep inflammation down,. My choices are limited. I even have to keep my egplant in control because its a nightshade veggie :-/

I didn't think of hummus!

I am in the high desert, so sun exposure is hard to come by October-May. Thank you!

Thanks! I haven't fully explored that app, so I guess I will be doing that today. I questioned its usefulness when my husband got it for me, but the notifications to move and drink water have really helped so far.

I'm in! I have plans for ComiCon and a Poison Ivy costume that was made 30 pounds ago...

Marvel, DC, Star Wars, and Doctor Who here. I am a noob to the geek life-my husband and daughter sucked me in, and I love it! I was actually "in the closet" about my transition to geek until Barnes and Noble had Star Wars cardboard cut outs and I started playing with them. My poor work friends had NO CLUE. It was fun. Now…

I lost over 20 pounds with C25k a couple years ago. I got hurt and didn't finish the program. I sunk into a hole of self pity and then I woke up a couple mornings ago in a state of determination to stop feeling this way. I am going to start day 1 today - excited to be back and looking forward to losing the excess pounds…

Hi Rebecca! I am with you. My healthy weight is 140, so I need to lose 30 pounds too. I lost the same 30 pounds using MFP a couple of years ago, and then hurt my back. I got depressed, stopped moving, started eating too much of the wrong things, and became a smoker again. I woke up yesterday morning feeling horrible and…

Thank you everyone! I will try the full dairy-never been a fan, but I am willing to give it another go around. Same with skin on chicken and cooking with a little more oil, it's certainly worth a try...

Definitely could stand some PB on my snacks-thank you!

Unfortunately, my weight is mostly attributed a lot of wine and NO exercise. Before I had a doctor tell me what was actually wrong with me, I slipped into a very bad depression because I couldn't do anything without being in pain, so I gave up. Then I got depressed and disappointed about giving up, so I started drinking…

I felt that way too when I went to the doctor and I weighed as much as I did the week before I delivered my daughter. I agree with everyone else - the important thing is that you caught it and you are doing something about it.

What is it? I need to work my butt, squats aren't doing it. I lost weight and I love my smaller arms and waist, but I am dropping fast in the T&A department, which I am not loving at all!

Mine were the first week, my fitness freak friend said that muscles that are not used to the routine swell up while in their initial repair and adjust stage. Makes sense to me.

We did ours and feel pretty good too

I have been pretty successful lately with almost no inflammation by reducing my omega-6 intake (red meat, certain oils including my beloved sesame oil) and sugar. I've replace the red meat with fish and the sugars with citrus and nuts.

I'm finding it tough too - my legs still hurt from my C25K Sunday couples with everything else I did, but I squatted through it yesterday and it actually helped the pain. I have cardio and leg lifts to do today,so hopefully that will keep me going. Yesterday was horrible...

I just started too - I've always resisted because of some health issues. The newest medical advice is actually saying that the running/jogging can help my issues rather than make them worse, so I am giving it a go. W1D1 was yesterday. Took the family including the dog - he liked it, they didn't. I am looking forward to day…

I could have done more, but want to use these first 4 days to establish muscle memory

I am thinking breaking them up could be a really good thing. I really miss having a nice butt. Great challenge choice - looking forward to this!

The spinach, tomato, and egg omelet idea is a good one, you can actually turn it into a scramble by tossing it in the mic at work. I keep a small supply, including a small carton of egg whites.

I have the Zumba 2. It's alo tmofmfun. I use it to get me motivated and it allows my daughter to participate with me. I feel silly because of my lack of coordination, but the laughing just makes it fun...

I guess it depends on what you mean by "work"...do they make sweat more? Definitely. Do they speed up weight loss, doesn't seem like it. I wear them because I am always cold and have bad circulation. A walk around the block will make my legs and butt itch so bad that I high-tail it home before I start crying. The…

I log it and make sure I don't go over in calories or sugar. If its going to send more over, I skip it.
