I am in pretty much the same boat as you, and I put Sedentary. I walk half an hour to work and then half an hour home from work at a very quick pace. I walk my dog around the block at least three times a night which averages out to about an hour spent walking at a moderate pace. Not to mention my understanding when I…

I had a really good sucess story about two or three years ago, lost about fifty pounds, weight about 120 pounds and was really healthy and happy. I was deployed at the time and so I didn't notice a change in how people acted towards me or anything of that sort. However once I got home I expected to go back to being…

I agree I have some small little hand weights and while they'll make your box a bit heavier they aren't hard to pack at all, and that's all you are going to need really for any work out. Besides that you can always start out without weights and then when you get all settled and moved in go ahead and get some.

I totally did not expect it to be that much! Good knowledge.

It doesn't matter which way you weigh in as long as you are consistent. I think a lot of people like to weigh in while naked (me included) because you don't know for sure how much your clothes might add to your weigh in. It'd probably only be like .2 or something like that but still, ever little .2 counts :)

Did some guy legit tell you that he didnt' date big girls for all the reasons you listed up there? Because if not it kind of seems to me that YOU'RE the one who feels that way and you're trying to let it out some how. In my opinion when you put words into somone else's head or thoughts it's just echoing what you think so…

Those of you suggesting I take stuff from her obviously dont' understand a work enviorment and I dont' know how if you did what you said you did you didn't get fired. I'm pretty sure snatching things that belong to other people, or things they paid money for, and then ruining it so they can't have it anymore is not okay in…

I was never planning to go to HR, that was other peoples suggestions, I don't care if she was tripping me down the stairs I live in NH, where anyone can be fired and you don't have to be given a reason...

I did insanity for about a year and I saw results and I thinned otu a ton....just wish I had stayed with it. I also did some p90X the only complaint I had about that was that there were a lot of things like pull ups and lifting weights and if you don't have that you have to substituted something else in that works the same…

Ah you guys are all awesome, ignoring that one person who didn't get it obviously, and I'm sorry I didn't respond back to this all earlier. I'm going to keep in mind talking to HR, but sort of on a back burner because I do worry since I'm only a temp at my job and she's been here a while that they might play favorites.…

i've had it picked since the week after i got my first tattoo. i want the masks of comedy and tragedy on my feet. i know that won't really be effected by teh weight loss but still, it's a nice reward :)

i don't think that all the pillls don't work HOWEVER they dont' work the way peopel think they are meant to. if you read most diet boxes/instructions for the pills they tell you that you need to work out with them and a lot of people don't bother with that so they dont' see progress and then cry that they aren't working.…

My friend just got the fitbit device and she can't even use it with her Iphone because seh doesn't have the Iphone 4s or whatever it is. I mean she can use it but she can't auto sync it or whatever it's supposed to do.

I think it's brilliant to want to be strong not skinny. I'm not doing this to be skinny, I want my damn curves back and if that means that when I hit my goal I'm too thin you can bet your bum I'm going to gain a few pounds back (I'm giving myself enough room weight wise to be able to do that) I think you have some really…

I've told myself I can't get another tattoo until I lose twenty pounds.

I tried the other morning I was like 'I'm already cheating and eating a poptar which i sbad for me' then I just stared at the other one and justified eating it by going 'well it's going to go stale and I don't have any ziplock bags so I HAVE to eat it or I'm a horrible person'...and thus both poptarts end up in my belly.

This kind of made me feel awful because my sister whose like 5'6 and weighs 120 lbs is constantly on a diet and i'm constantly telling her to knock it off because she's skinny enough. Now I feel like I've been bullying her and have to go home and apologize to her :(

i'm dying this is amazing lol

Wow I didn't even think of applesauce, which is weird because I love it and I'm pretty sure they sell those in bigger boxes. I'm going to take all of this stuff into consideration for sure when I get to the grocery store next. Hopefully I can spend a little more money on food next time I go shoping for the big load :)

I have my stop and shop card for deals and I don't shop far from home because I walk everywhere, no car means more calories burned! I know there's a local farmers market not sure when I'll be seeing it around again but I'll have to check that out.!

I used to go out for luch every single day and now that I'm eating stuff I make myself I'm STARVING. I'll have to look into granola bars. I was thinking trail mix, but making it more myself so that there isn't any of that random sugar powder that finds it's way in there, and you dont' have to cook trail mix :) Breakfast…

The thing is I don't cook. I can't cook it pretty much ends in disaster every time and I eat my breakfast at work because I start work at eight thirty and have to walk there and it's just easier to eat once I get there. So eggs wouldn't really work out well for me, even though they are good :) Also what is wrong with…

Yeah take out the soda for sure! It's a pain in the *kitten*, I'm sort of a soda addict :) But last time I quit drinking soda I did notice a drastic change. Not fully in weight loss but you FEEL better about yourself. Plus it's not taking up calories that could be actual food that will actually help you instead of holding…

I only eat three meals a day. Also if you speak to a professional nutritionist they tell you that your biggest meal of the day should be your first meal of the day with each meal getting shorter as you go due to the fact that you will burn a few calories naturally as the day goes on and you don't burn quite as much when…

Don't give up. Some times when you're working out really hard you don't see the weight coming off on the scale because you're turnign the fat into muscles, and muscle is heavier than fat. Trust me I used to get wicked discouraged until someone explained that to me because I was looking at myself in the mirror, seeing th…

UGH I jsut recently moved out. I love packing because I just shove every single thing I own into boxes but then you get there and I'm like '**** I have all this junk now' and I start throwing stuff away and then I'm like 'just throwing away my eight thousand garbage bags don't worry new neighbors I'm not weird or anything'…

i've never seen the show but i've read all the books and the lyrics just FIT with it

Not gonna lie, and people are going to think it's totally weird but Defying Gravity from the musical "Wicked" has always ALWAYS kept me going. It's the song I put on when I'm ready to be like 'screw it i'm going home' and once I put it on I've got that extra push.

I have this problem too, I know I'm cutting out some of what I'm intaking it's just took me having to go grocery shopping, but 27 sugars seems super low. I go over that drinking one snapple in a day, and I refuse to go to only drinking water...I've already cut out soda since it almost doubles the sugar and is full of…

If you're looking to save money I really wouldn't recommend using two bras at once. bras themselves, any decent quality, are goign to be pricey adn even doubling up on them is going to put wear and tear on them and then you'll have to buy double the bras because. You are honestly better off spending the extra money on a…
