not from the land down under but i currently am living in WA

my sister gave my a great quote...don't worry about what you eat from christmas to new years...worry about what you eat from new years to christmas... i think we need to be aware of what we eat during the holidays but one or two weeks isn't the big picture

eat something low in calories like a salad...steamed veggies...cereal...yogurt with fruit...a little light something is good for you

its all about pacing...if you try to run all out you will get tired quickly...walk breaks are your friend

best post i've read...thank you for the encouragement and kick in the pants

i agree people like to judge...and i'd be a liar if i said i never did...but as someone who did tell someone she was getting too thin, sometimes its from a place of concern...and at that person's next dr visit the dr. said the same thing...she was having health issues... consider the source like anything else my two cents…

that is fantastic ... i love the idea of bring out your inner athlete!

i'm moving into my new place on may 5 so i'm hoping to find a gym asap! count me in for the ironman distance 2.4 112 26.2 i'm hopeful my bike arrives soon ( being shipped to aus , just waiting on the container )!

holy smokes girl! way to go, i really need to unpack my copy and get at it keep it up

what great timing..i just restarted the 30Ds again yesterday and i had a few questions about it and this thread seems to answer them all...i was most interested to know what else people were doing while doing it...i work out 4-5 times a week....twice with a personal trainer and doing bootcamp classes or just cardio on my…

go and have fun, shake your tail feathers, high five kids in the crowd, run, walk, dance i had a very similar thing happen to me and i am so glad i did it instead of sitting on the sidelines i even did better then i thought i would as my sister tells me ( an she's a multi marathon chick, trainer, coach, ironman finisher,…

small steps add up to big victories...keep at it

you have changed your life and no doubt improved the lives of everyone in your family congrats on everything you've done!

you seem to be the one who is doing the motivating..i hit the gym about 5 times a week and that's it you can do it...hope that helped

just so no, and if the come back with some quip just smile and say no if they are really interested in your health it will not affect your relationship with them

i totally agree with you...on both parts ( the ease of slipping into old ways and how much better i feel ) other things that help me... 1.i gave away all my larger sized clothes so i'll be naked if i gain weight back 2. lots of short term goals .....i've been out of the country and my sister went back to school so we…

first off those are amazing results! and here is my question...do you only do the 30DS or are you doing other exercise as well? i've started it twice and both times had medical issues pop up to stop me keep those updates coming

that is great !

Excellent work! ( i too email people my weight / toes..love it)

great job..and i'm jealous of your shrinking hips

you want to know what age means...nothing google sister madonna buder...this lady is truly amazing started training for her first IRONMAN ( 4km swim, 180 bike, 42.2 km run ) at 48 completed her first one at 55 ironman had to add an age group just for her..now 81! she has completed more then 325 triathlons and 36 ironman…

it took me about 2 months to break 150..i would hit it time and time again then a couple of pounds would creep on...i just kept at it and everytime i'd get upset i'd have someone ( boyfriend / sister / friend ) talk me off the ledge i am so glad cause as of this morning i hit 142 and am on a roll way to go...be proud of…

i always wear socks from my 3km walks right up to running a half marathon personally i like wearing them inside out so there is no seam along my toes

i try and have a bowl of cereal with skim milk about an hour before i run, however i will admit that i often just head out the door on an empty belly if i don't get up on time to eat and digest........i have just finished reading an article that said not only will eating before give you more energy ( obviously ) but it ups…

this ad http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obdd31Q9PqA reminds me to stop coming up with reasons why not...and focus on reasons why

we all make bad choices now and again ( i had cake and a bag of chips last night for dinner ) but its the next step that matters, for me it was getting up and doing 6.5-7 km before i did anything else today...and i managed a personal best for 1 mile of that...i agree with the comment "learn from this"....and make today a…

you are kicking *kitten*...hope you are doing a happy dance cause you desire it

um wow you rock

next time i think i've hit a rut i'll think of you and your 16 weeks...amazing, you are amazing

skinny cow fudgie bar ...100 calories ...i can't get them where i am now and miss them so much, use to have one every night
