Hi kids! I was on here a bunch yesterday and I still had a bunch of catching up to do! Love it. Lacey, you have no idea how much time I have spent thinking about a kangaroo with 3 vaginas. Or what it would be like to have 3 vaginas of my own. I find this to be mind blowing and terrifying. That's waaaay too much vagina in…

M&Ms, like beer, are ALWAYS worth it. :drinker: Glee has gotten much less clever. I long for the days of season one when I was laughing and crying and rooting like crazy for those kids. But I do love the Warblers too, Lacey. They are a-mazing. I also really love Parks and Rec... we watched a little of season one and then…

Loved this! Congrats on the loss and just keep showing that app who's boss! :laugh:

I have never eaten before an AM workout because I get up, put my workout clothes on, and start. How long before the workout are you eating? Do you give yourself digestion time or is it not necessary because of how small your portion is? I'm curious for my own sake... maybe I should be getting up and eating something before?

Lacey, I feel ya on the worrying about things that haven't even happened yet. I think its in my genes... my Dad worries about everything, and I have a tendency to do it too. I do my best to just stay busy enough and focused on what's going on now so that I literally don't have time to worry and am so tired when I go to be…

No seriously Kendall, I SWEAR I have tried that before and it never actually put it in a blue box. :laugh: Sarah, I'm sure you will do AWESOME in that work challenge. You have been losing so consistently! I'll shoot a friend request your way and check out what you've got going on. I'm guessing it has something to do with…

I just wanted to see if it works...

Oh and Kendall, since you are a self-admitted geek :wink: , how do you quote someone in a thread? I have tried and it never works. Stupid question, I know.

Just a quick reply to Lacey's post... MMM Indian food. You doing all that talking about naan has got my mouth watering too. Luckily, I have 2 GREAT Indian restaurants in town (thank goodness for being in a Big Ten town!) and just might have to get that for dinner one night this week. And beer is my total weakness. (who am…

Victoria, congrats on the race! Such an awesome achievement! Sorry to hear your stomach has been giving you so much trouble, I hope you figure that out soon! Kendall, I think the pics sound like fun! A little weird that its your cousin's husband taking them, but enjoy it! I did a trash the dress session after my wedding…

Just stopping to by to tell Victoria good luck on the run and I hope you are feeling better! Thinking of you!

bump I want to find this later at home so I can subscribe to her blog. This was an awesome blog. "at the end of the day, your body is the only thing you really have in this world"... love this, and so freaking true!

Just a quick stop by to say hello and (sort of) weigh in for the week... this morning I'm at 204.9... which is up .8 from last week. I'm thinking its hormones, sodium, and maybe a bit of a fluke on the scale last week. I'm going to weigh again Monday for this week and see if I have a loss then. I'm not stressing it. (or at…

I love when this thread is super busy! Kristina, I'm stoked that you are back in the 170s... we all knew you'd be there in no time! I can't believe you had 6 hours of conference calls - YUCK. I really hope you're getting sick, that would totally cramp your workout regime. Ronnie, try not to stress about the crap with your…

I'm on day 16 of the classic and haven't missed a day thus far, and I can pretty much tell you that some part of my body hurts every day. :smile: But its a good thing. I definitely agree that some sort of whey protein, whether its the recovery drink or your own concotion, is key. I usually just add it to my oatmeal in the…

I have an app from android called cardio trainer... free and it works great - gps track of my run, syncs music, and also will voice over to tell me my speed, time, distance, etc...

I love this thread! I'm 5'9 (also swear I used to be 5'10) and currently at 204. I think at my smallest I was 165 or 170, like so many of you in highschool, and like so many of you I thought I was the "big" girl in my group of friends. [/quote] I would say it depends on your frame size. Measure the smallest part of your…

Way to go! You look amazing and SO HAPPY! Keep it up!

Kendall, I am so sorry that you are dealing with all that you are right now. My heart goes out to you and I wish there was something I could do to help. I don't have any real words of advice except to stay strong and make sure you are putting yourself first, especially right now. You gotta do what's best for you. We are…

Everyone has been posting machines! So fun! Congrats on the losses everyone!!! Lacey, happy one year anniversary! :flowerforyou: I think its good that you are taking this as a time to look at what the year has brought you and what you have to learn for the future. It seems like based on your posts on here that you are…

Hey everybody! I am back from a weekend that was probably a little bit too much fun. :blushing: Friday night was pretty low key, just leftover Chinese food and we finally watched Black Swan... have you seen it? It was awesome, but completely weird. Friday cals were 1807 eaten/702 burned/95 left. Saturday I got up and did…

Happy Friday! This weekend we are headed up to a friend's cabin... should be a weekend of campfires, beers, and board games. I'm super excited. Plus I'm only working 6 hours today! Kendall, I feel ya on going crazy on food when you've got the good stuff in your house. Its always so hard after a big grocery shopping trip to…

2 years ago, I bought a pair of jeans... they were super snug on me, but I could button them up, so I decided to hold on to them as motivation to lose a couple pounds. Fast forward to January of 2011 and I was wearing almost 2 pant sizes bigger than those jeans, which I had tucked in the back of my closet with the tags…

Lacey, I hope you get the bmf figured out... I'm sure once it gets into a routine it will be awesome! Kendall, thanks for the heart rate input... I looked stuff up online too and feel a little bit better about all of that. My resting heart rate is closer to 75 (thank goodness). If I were to work only in the target zone I'd…

Cals for yesterday 1713 consumed/671 burned/158 left. Yesterday when I got home I decided to squeeze in a run.... walked for 5 minutes/.3 miles and then started jogging and didn't stop to walk again... I only ended up going a mile because I was running through our neighborhood and Chris drove up next to me on his way home…

Just finished Plyo... holy crap, that's like the greatest workout ever... I still need to invest in a HRM, but I found an app on my found that reads heart rate, so I checked it every break and it was pretty consistently between 160 and 180. Awesome!

I'm just starting out with the standard version, and after the first full week I'm pretty much in love with it. Its completely kicking my butt and I love that I did 7 days of workingout with no repeats - a welcome change from doing 30 day shred, which is what I was doing before. Taryn, 6 times??? That's amazing! Is that…

Cals for yesterday... 1455 eaten/237 burned/18 over. I baked cookies this weekend and foolishly didn't bring all of them to work on Monday. So I ate 1 cookie and a glass of milk at 9 last night. I still have a good deficit for the day, especially with such a low burn from exercise, but still, I feel kinda guilty about that…

Hey everyone! Well I'm back from the weekend... wasn't a total bust on calories, but wasn't perfect either. I ended up only having a beer on Friday night with dinner, but we got ice cream afterwards. I reigned it in and ordered a kiddie sized cup, so I was still under... came out to 1463 eaten/554 burned/291 remaining.…

The only thing you will gain from continuing to make bad food decisions and not exercising will be all the weight you've already lost. And all that will do is make you feel worse about yourself, which will make the work situation even more difficult to handle. DO NOT GIVE UP. Do something positive for yourself instead.…
