I have the same issue. My favorite is NOW Manuka honey newtons; if I have them in the house I'll typically eat half of one. Not so much that I get a bellyache but enough to keep me from feeling hungry or queasy mid-workout. Otherwise a banana, sometimes with peanut butter.

I can't speak for other people, but I tend to zone out or just kind of stare ahead. Sometimes it's too early to put my contacts in so I just wear my glasses to the gym and take them off while I'm actually working out. I can't see a damn thing so I probably appear to be staring at people. I'm sure some people *are* staring,…

Aside from the things others have already said, my best tip is not to have cash on you at school if you can avoid it, at least not small bills/change. My good intentions sometimes go out the window when I pass a vending machine :)

Be careful with produce...most of it is unnecessarily packaged and I have had so many experiences with mold. I've heard this from people in other states as well, so it's not necessarily just my store. BUT, I love Trader Joes for certain things. Their prices are way lower than other stores for some of my basic items:…

I live in Milwaukee, and I'm thinking about doing several of these as well! I did Warrior Dash last year and it was so much fun. It fell on the same weekend as Dirty Girl, but if that doesn't happen again I'll likely do both. I do better with the obstacle races, as I'm not a super strong runner, but I'm working on that. If…

Hi! I've tried to join things like this before and never kept up with it...so I'm IN this time! I'm about 5'7 and 185 GW for challenge: 165 Ultimate GW: 150 ish? I'm a size 10-12 and would like to be a solid 8 for Christmas. I did my first Warrior Dash 2 weeks ago and will be doing my first 5k in late September! My main…

I live in Milwaukee! Well, Shorewood. Feel free to add me :) Anyone doing the Warrior Dash this weekend?

kale chips with cayenne pepper, sometimes i dip veggies in hot sauce. or you could make baked tortilla or pita chips with seasonings on them.

Oh I know! I was sooo concerned that it would be hot! I'm in the 10:30 wave.

I'm doing the one in WI this weekend too! I'm a little nervous as I'm not a great runner, but SO pumped.

I'm in!

What sort of workouts are you doing? Could you be gaining muscle in your thighs? During certain periods of my weight loss I noticed that I was proportioned differently....like I'd lose a few pounds, but proportionally my belly looked bigger because my hips and thighs looked smaller. it all kind of evened out through as I…

OOOOOH bump! I'm always looking for new ways to sneak protein since my girlfriend is basically a vegetarian

Today was day 9 of Level 1...so glad to get to Level 2. I am starting to really hate Jillian. And jumping jacks! I know there's some in every level, but Level 1 is just too many. Can't wait til Friday!

AGREED!! For me, no cheddar cheese, chips of any kind, sugary cereals, cookies/pastries/candy, ICE CREAM. oh lord ice cream, cannot be trusted. geez....my house sounds boring!

ba-ZING!

I forgot to post last night, but I finished them!

I'm on day 3 too! Have you done it before?

I'm in! Today's my 3rd day, and I'm planing to do it daily all the way through. I've got Warrior dash coming up in 6 weeks so I thought this would be a good time for a solid 30 days of Jillian :)

Challenge accepted!

I also use ones by Champion...not entirely sure what the style is since there are so many, but it is a racerback over the head style that also has regular bra hooks. Also it comes in bra sizes, not s-m-l. I started wearing them when i was a 40DD and loved them. I'm now a 38D, and am getting into running and they're still…

Hey guys! How's everyone doing? I've been tracking on my phone the last few days, so I haven't been checking in on here much. I've been dong pretty well the past week (minus a few too many cocktails sunday.....whoopsies lol)

oh wow 2 a days sound intense! good luck!!

My main goal for August is to get myself on a schedule (as far as eating, working out, meal planning for the week, etc.) before school starts next month. I've learned that if I don't have a pretty rigid schedule everything goes out the window as soon as I get busy. I'd also like to lose at least 5 pounds by the end of the…

EW! Who are these people? "Friends"? Or coworkers? Either way, anyone who is that ridiculously rude a) has no place in your life, and b) clearly has some sort of self esteem issues. Anyone who is happy doesn't need to make other people feel badly about themselves. Ugh, I am seriously disgusted that people like that…

How's everyone doing today?

Hey guys! I've been using MFP for about 4 months but really haven't been tracking lately. Luckily I haven't gained any, but haven't lost either, so I'd really like to get back in the swing of things. SW: 225 (Christmas-ish) CW: 192 GW #1: 160....and we'll see how it goes from there :)

HA!!!!

Oh lord I hope that's not true.....the last thing I need is another reason to drink beer :) I'm a big fan of vodka and seltzer.
