Most people don't, but I love unsweet tea. Lipton has some pretty awesome cold brew tea bags. I drink it pretty much daily.. although, I love water. It has to be filtered through my Brita water pitcher first. Water with lemon is good, but try adding sprigs of mint to it. That's pretty yummy. You can also add a little bit…

This is awesome. I'm looking forward to talking to other people who deal with the same crap that I deal with..

I really like those veggie potato chips. They're in the organic aisle at the market I go to... I think the brand is Nature's something.. (Nature's Own maybe?), but I know u can eat 40 chips for only 140 calories.. I think they taste good and they satisfy my chip craving for very little calories.

thanks everyone.. This is all great information! I miss seeing that loss on the scale and I miss the feeling of jogging longer than I did the time before! Thinking about the positive parts of losing helps me..

I had my diary public and I m ade it private when I started doing badly.. I'll make it public again today. That's a really good suggestion. Accountability is a good motivator.

This helps. thank you!

WOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THATS MY GRRRRRL, go rhi!!! u kick so much *kitten*, it's ridiculous.

I'm terribly sad that True Blood is over.. but I'm excited about the upcoming seasons of Big Bang Theory and How I Met Your Mother.

Cannibal Holocaust and Antichrist are the most shocking, out of the ordinary horror films I can think of... Cannibal Holocaust has a bad rep, because all the animal violence on film is real.. but Antichrist has a mix of psychological horror and outright revulsion.. I'd be interested to know what u think if u watch them.

I did C25K up to week 5.. I prefer to do it on my own. I didn't like how it jumped from 8 minutes to 20, then back down.. I wasn't capable of a 20 minute run at that point.. so I quit the C25K and just started trying to increase the duration on my own.. and ended up doing a 25 minute run without stopping a week later.. I…

I've tried waking up early to work out.. I would kill to be a morning person.. ugh. but my biggest issue is morning stiffness.. My Achilles tendons are never ready to go first thing in the morning.. always very stiff.

This is so true.. I'm working on getting to the point that I can actually sustain running for that long.. It usually takes me about 45 minutes to get in a 25-30 minute run, because I do a 5 minute warm up and 5 minute cool down.. and one or two breaks depending on my mood and willpower. lol

That's exactly my issue! I have to straighten my hair at this length, because I regrettably cut it, and it looks horrible when I let it go curly unless it's longer.. I don't think straightening twice a day is the way to get it healthy and long. lol I actually run at home on the treadmill in the air conditioning to avoid…

awesome! thanks everyone. i'm feeling more comfortable with my decision. im getting it tomorrow.

DEFINITELY Phil Anselmo from Pantera and Down. Look at this ridiculousness. He's so freakin hot. Here's another one for good measure. :-)

You should eat back at least enough to keep your net calories at 1200.. otherwise, it can be unhealthy. However, if you're really just not hungry.. don't bother.

lol i was thinking of putting up a couple of my purses. i have a few that i dont use anymore.

Awesome! I'll send a friend request. I'd be happy to try to help u stay motivated. =)

mmm irish trashcans sounds great.. but for a better low cal option, I'll have a diet cranberry ocean spray with vodka. :-) Oh, or some whipped cream vodka with sprite zero. yum.

Thats what I do. I log if I weigh in less than the last weight I logged. Sometimes I log once a week, sometimes 3 times a week.. depends how it goes.

exactly!

try swap.com.

I've been trying to find out about that, too. Unfortunately, everyone has their own opinion and there are a lot of "quick fixes" for sale that don't work. The best advice I've found is to make strength training a priority. Do it at least 3 times a week. Building muscle under the skin will keep it (somewhat) from sagging..…

I have 6. I got a tramp stamp with a star when I was 16.. after that I got a jailhouse tat (not from actual jail, but ya know...) of a heart sort of on my lower front hip.. a couple of stars on my wrist.. a quote on my forearm.. and a day of the dead gypsy woman on my upper arm. My next one is going to be an owl on the…

If you're not finding anything under your height and weight, you could adjust the height up an inch and the weight up 10 lbs.. that should be about the same... and I doubt it's meant to be completely accurate.. keep in mind, its only for motivational purposes.. and one person with a certain height/weight could look…

I've lived in Helotes and San Antonio, but I was born in El Campo. I live on the east coast now.

Week 5 Day 1 of Couch to 5K.

thanks everyone =)

I tried tons of the C25K apps on the android market and ended up buying the legit one.. it was like 2.99 but I like it best, and it integrates your music into it.

I'm a single mother of a 7 year old girl. She is my life and I love her endlessly, but it does make it a little difficult to diet. I would love to have more single mama's to chat with on here. Feel free to add me. :-)
