Favorite band of all time : The Beatles. Least favorite band: Hmmm..well, probably more of an individual artist and that would probably be Taylor Swift. lol I love a little bit of everything from Meshuggah and Chimaira to Tenth Avenue North to Bob Dylan to The Pogues, but I cannot stand Taylor Swift.

Bump. Thanks for sharing!

I am actually going to start doing this same thing. I started out doing P90X and it was/is a workout! But, I also started running again a couple of weeks before I started P90X and I wanted to keep running. So, starting tomorrow I've decided to mix it up. I still like the Kenpo, Cardio X, and Yoga X, too, so I may still do…

Bump. Thanks for sharing! ^_^

I wear Asics. I currently run in the Gel Nimbus 12. It's not a bad shoe. It's well constructed, provides great support and comfort for my feet and serves it's purpose for me well. I really like running outdoors in these shoes as they're very well ventilated. I can feel the air through the mesh and material coming through…

I would like to join, please! My weigh in day is currently Wednesday. I'll get you my current weight after this Wednesday, if that's OK? ^_^

Bump. Thanks for sharing. ^_^

I've tried both actually. I liked Burn 60 better than Alli. I lost more weight. I didn't experience any adverse side effects with either, however. It's been a couple of years ago that I used Alli, but I weighed around 158 then and used it for a month and only lost about 3 pounds. Maybe I could have worked out more, but I…

I weigh myself almost every morning, just to keep myself in check. Sometimes I weigh myself post workout, too. However, I weigh in and document my weight loss (or gain *sigh*) once a week on Wednesday mornings. So far, I'm about right on with a weight loss of 1 lb. / week, which is what I've set for my MFP goals. It's…

Yep. True about the celery and the ice water. Here is a list of fruits and veggies from http://caloriecount.about.com/list-negative-calorie-foods-ft22. You can pretty much just Google negative calorie foods and you'll get tons of hits. If you don't like celery, maybe you'll find something else on the list that you like.…

I was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and dysthymia about three years ago. I have found that exercise really helps. I admit, sometimes I find it difficult, particularly when I'm struggling with a bout of depression, to get motivated to do ANYTHING much less workout. But after I work out, I feel pretty good.…

Well, I didn't do as well as I'd hoped. I got my run/walk in this AM. I'm pushing for a 10 minute mile, so far I'm just a few seconds under 11 minutes (@ 10 min. 58 seconds). However, this is also on a treadmill. I'm sure it'll be different outside. But I'll worry about that when I get there. So, I did a total of 31…

I'm in.

Cardio, cardio, cardio, and more cardio. Throw in some lower body exercise every other day or so. Also, tweak your diet, of course. Look for more lean protein from chicken or fish, and look for fiber and healthy carbs in fruits and veggies. Depending on your schedule and how much time you have to get slimmed down, shoot…

Just don't give up. My last two days have been terrible. I've eaten more junk than usual and haven't had time to truly workout at all. :( Definitely look for more protein and fiber to fill you up. Try drinking warm tea or warm water or milk. If you're body temperature is up, you tend to be less hungry. Just like after a…

6 lbs. is a fine and safe weight loss amount for a month's time. Considering your schedule and your personal life, too, you seem to be doing something right. Maybe look at other small things you can change in your life to help with the weight loss and a healthier you. More sleep, more water, portion size, healthier snacks,…

You are awesome! Thank you so much for posting your success. You're looking great! I just started P90X Lean last Monday. I'm really excited, and seeing other people doing this and succeeding is very inspiring and motivating for me. Thanks again, and best of luck with round 2!

I love body art. But for me, since I seem to change my mind frequently or get bored, piercings are safer than tats. I had my tongue pierced. Pierced my navel once myself and then had it professionally done later. Both times it became infected. :( I pierced my outer conchs myself. My eyebrow and nose have been done, but I…

I really like McCann's Irish Steel-cut Oats. I'd never had them before about two months ago. If you prepare them the same day to eat, it takes about half an hour to cook them. There was also an option of soaking them the night before, bringing them to a boil, storing them in the fridge overnight, and then cooking them for…

It sort of does sound like a side stitch. How long after you eat do you exercise? You should wait at least an hour, a little longer if possible, after you eat to begin exercising, especially cardio. Also, make sure you stay well hydrated. Drink plenty of water throughout the day and during exercise as you need to. I hope…

Thanks for posting these delicious reviews! I love Lean Cuisine, but I have yet to try these rolls. I'm totally getting some!

I was wondering about the HRM. I saw a nice Timex one for 60 bucks, and it tracks the calories, too. I'd like to get one. I'll dream about the Polar HRMs until I'm really into my running. lol Thanks for the heads up.

I just started today myself. I'm torn between classic and lean, but I'm leaning more towards lean for the cardio aspect and quicker results. I did shoulders and arms and ab ripper x today. Wow. Just wow. I held my own with the shoulders and arms, and I think I'll up the weight next time for some of them. But that ab ripper…

Dude, I can relate. haha I tend to give up if I don't see something. Try setting smaller goals. Instead of relying on the scale, maybe your clothes fit a little more loose? Maybe you can do more reps or walk a little further than you could before? Baby steps. :) Also, please feel free to add me. I could use the support…

I'm 170 over. *sigh* But that polish with mustard and kraut was worth it. ^_^

I really dig GNC Total Lean - Lean Shakes. With a variety of flavors, and new flavors with 25 grams of protein now; for me they were not chalky/gritty and they tasted yummy. They're oat-based, so they're thicker. You can also add a little fruit if you'd like. I blended in a banana or some strawberries to my swiss chocolate…

Way to go! You look bloody awesome! This really motivates me. Proof of what a little work, time, and discipline can do. Thanks so much for posting your progress! :bigsmile: I hope you have a safe and rocking time flaunting that new you!

Welcome! I think you'll find the site very helpful. It's helped me a lot in being more mindful of what I eat throughout the day. I really like food, and sometimes I'll eat something just because I like it so much! It's terrible and great in one. :embarassed: I've only been using MFP since Jan. 31, so tomorrow will be a…

I have used the GNC Total Lean - Lean Shakes. They're more of a meal replacement, of course, and the first set only had 9 grams of protein at 180 calories and 2 grams of fat. They now have new flavors with 25 grams of protein, but they're about ten bucks more expensive than the ones with 9 g. of protein. They also have the…
