ok so I didn't weigh myself this week, I'm going to try to purposely not do it because I'm getting to caught up in the number and discouraged. BUT I leave for Mexico 3 weeks from Saturday, so I promise to: -Not miss a day of 30DS. I start my new job on Monday and I have an extra hour in the mornings now, so in addition to…

I already eat a lot of protein :smile: So i'm going to keep the lean meats about the same! We're going to a resort in Cancun! (not the crazy party area, although we may stop there for one night out :drinker: )

I just finished the 2nd book in "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" series....it took me 3/4 of the way through the first one to get into it, but the 2nd was much better, now Im dying to get through the third. I LOVE scary books, I'll definitely be getting "False Memory" and "Those Across the River"!

THANK YOU for clearing this up! after approx 144 cycles I still hadn't figured it out! but seriously, people who don't understand that sidewalks, hallways, etc work sort of the same way as a road, meaning there are two sides! Stay on your own! If I'm approaching double doors and someone is coming the opposite way, we…

I'm sorry for your circumstances, unfortunately a lot of people are going through this :frown: but the OP said NOT in cases such as yours....the example was people who have more kids to receive or stay on assistance, which is a huge difference from the situation you are in. I don't mean this negatively, but there is a…

this! I have been able to "up" my food budget by saving on toiletries and such...see if your grocery store has double or triple coupon events, wait for an item to go on sale and you can always get it for VERY cheap or even free. I haven't had to buy body wash, razors or lotion in months, and I think I maybe spent $5 total…

any seafood? make a pasta dish, pasta with spinach, tomato, zucchini, olive oil, garlic.....throw some shrimp in there if you feel like it. super quick and easy, and yummy with a glass of white :smile:

I broke my forearm last year and had surgery, so I can't do pushups yet. I lean on my forearms in a plank position and lower myself from there, or just hold the plank. I know it's not the same, but I am working on my wrist and forearm strength separately until I'm able to do them. as for the knees....I have bad knees (my…

Oh I wasn't offended at all! I'm sorry if it sounded like I was....to be honest it makes me laugh, I see these water threads all the time and it ALWAYS turns into an argument haha. No offense to you, but I think we can both agree how you log your water doesnt affect (or bother!) me at all, and vice versa!

In all fairness, saying that you only count plain water can also get you shot by the "You should count anything that hydrates you" crowd. The thing is....EVERYONE IS RIGHT. there is no wrong way to log your own personal water intake (except for the obvious extreme ways). I was a religious Diet Coke drinker and I decided to…

This!

I've seen Mederma work wonders, it's relatively expensive though. I had surgery about a year and a half ago on my forearm and have a 6 inch long scar....i used TONS of cocoa butter, which is super cheap, and always make sure I have sunscreen on it, and a lot of the redness has faded, it's light pink now. I figure another…

yea, you don't make a killing off doing this?

Not kidding, we've had nights where the teams spent so much time trying to catch us using our phones that they didn't have time to fill in all of their answers.

whenever my boyfriend and I go play trivia we make our team name "we're cheating".

haha well said

I'm 26 and if I go to my parents wearing a dress or skirt that ISNT to the ground, my dad still (half jokingly) asks "where the rest of it" is. I think there is a happy medium, but as far as dressing (when it comes to scandalous clothes), underwear pictures online and seriously influential TV shows, the parent needs to…

Wow, I'm kind of surprised at what a big deal this is....I agree with the points of if it's a weighted item it's stealing, and if you leave a mess of juice crumbs and wrappers in the aisles it's disgusting....but I have, on more than one occasion, gotten a container of almonds or something and snacked on a handful. And I…

My bf and I were al and peg bundy one year, we won a contest haha....he painted an old jersey to say "polk high" and carried a football around, I wore purple tights, a leopard print tank and silver heels...oh and of course big hair and red lipstick :smile:

I think we lost Angela on this thread, but she has been doing it for about a month and said it's amazing for her, and she's never felt better....there are a bunch of threads about it on here, I messaged angela and she sent me a ton of info about it. It's basically a low carb high fat high protein way of eating (and…

This....but not just at bad times haha. I could (still) easily eat a bag of Wavy Lays with the thick Ranch dip. Luckily, I don't.

Wow Casey that's a crazy amount of hours! Haha I never finished C25K, same thing, I kind of "got over" it I guess. But I've been doing 30 DS for about 5 days and also Butt Bible here and there (HOLY *kitten* it kills). But I'm excited, when I start this new job, besides walking to and from work, I also get to go in later.…

I've been following this thread and dont worry! I am not getting discouraged by all of the negative opinions and "information" (which to be honest, I don't understand why it gets so heated, even critics of Paleo agree it works well for SOME PEOPLE and not for others....so just let everyone see if they're one of those…

I find this SO intriguing! I definitely need to look more into it. (and i'm sorry for those of you on it who always have to defend yourselves because everyone argues constantly! But I do find your rebuttals quite informative :smile: )

haha sorry, don't know the answer to your questions, but I would say I average about 3 times a day.

I know, that's why i love him :smile: But seriously, I'm afraid even the title will offend *some* people on here!

a very inappropriate lil wayne song...that i love.

maybe she thought it was an old picture of you and was going to compliment "you" on your weight loss and tell you how great you looked

I keep trying to think of how to reply to this in a PC way, and am finding it very difficult. Please, Please, Please, leave your fiance. You're 18, I promise you you will find someone who actually respects you and isn't controlling.

:laugh: so true, no wonder they think we're all crazy!
