Oh okay! Thank you so very much! We greatly appreciate it! :)

I can't think of one right now, mind is blank, but I usually just look at my progress & my goal for my motivation. However, I do love taso42's, "If you're gonna go, go all the way." I say something like that all the time when I'm at the gym. If I catch myself not working as hard as I know I can, I reflect & fix it because…

Try not to let him bug you too much. There's a lot of great advice here! I'm definitely a fan of headphones! Even if there's no music playing at the moment, I still leave them in! If someone tries to talk to me & I'm not interested I do my best to be polite & get involved in something, quickly! If all else fails, I just…

Well, in May of this year (2011) I had been hearing things on television about a vegan diet & how it was something to consider if you wanted to drastically improve all kinds of health conditions. It was interesting, because actually my Mother was the main one considering the vegan diet because of her diabetes but I was…

Talked with VeganGal84, she's doing well but had decided the challenge didn't quite fit her.

YUMMY!

Love this recipe! Gotta try it!

Bump! Love this recipe! Thanks for sharing!

I'm not a huge fan of protein shakes as meal replacements, plus they're usually full of sugar unless they're homemade. My usual breakfasts that re quick & easy are Oatmeal with any fruit you'd like. I like to do bananas & walnuts, or blueberries. I also make my oatmeal with almond or soy milk to add a little protein. Also,…

Great workout! Got to it late to it, but got to it is the key!

Oh that poor girl! She was so beautiful the way she was!

Vegan since the middle of May this year & I'll never go back! I love my new life!

Vegan since the middle of May this year & lovin' it!

Great Challenge! All done with everything for today! :)

Done! And much earlier than yesterday, yay!!!

So, I had an extremely busy & unexpected weekend, so I never got to the challenges, but I was determined to make them up because I couldn't just let myself say "oh well". Today almost got away from me as well, but at the end of the night, after dinner, super tired, I still made myself make up all of the challenges!!! I…

I love this! Thanks so much for sharing! Definitely gonna try to stick to more of these!

Fabulous!!!

I'm an October 13 Libra also!!! I'd like to join as well! I'm aiming high for a loss of 25 pounds by my b-day!

Great answer sundancer1966!!! I totally agree!

I've been attending Curves since the middle of 2008 & in my honest opinion, Curves is great, but it only works if you do the work! I've visited many of times in the beginning just doing the bare minimum & it got me no where. However, now when I go, I push myself as hard as I can while I also incorporate my own exercises.…

My diary is open to anyone, as well. :) Most days go great, but some days I really don't want to write things down, but if I don't, I'm not being honest. So, if I eat it, I write it too!

Definitely agree! I am NOT just a number! ;)

So, I really enjoyed participating in the July Challenge, wasn't sure I'd get to 10, but I was just looking forward to the motivation. To my surprise, it's turned out great! Hit 10 early & so excited! I was hoping to see an August Challenge, but even if I didn't, I planned to continue as though there were, but there will…

Oh Angela, I'm so sorry to hear you feel that way! :( I more than understand the feeling though, I still won't even wear shorts or a tank top in public! I've learned that thinking negatively doesn't get me very far & that I just have to find the desire to change for myself, so that's what I'm doing. No more negativity!!!…

My salad tips are: 1- I add tons of fun & yummy veggies to my lettuce, so in turn, they are my dressing. I don't seem to need anything else once I start eating all of the different flavors. 2- I use lemon/lime juice (freshly squeezed) as a dressing. Add just a pinch of salt. Great on cucumbers! 3- The only 'real' salad…

Gotcha covered!!! ;)

@fastbelly Thanks! I'll look for that, or something similar. @missvics Oh so sad indeed! And ewwwww! Nothing against meat eaters, I used to love my mean, but never ever wanted veal!

Looks great! Although, I got 24 minutes I believe. I don't have a treadmill that will incline at home, but I should really try that at the gym sometime. I bet it'd be a great walk/jog! I did my first 'real' elliptical workout today & found it to be a great & fun workout! Thanks for sharing!

I've learned to look at what is really in the food I eat. I've learned what portions really are, as well as that they are perfect sizes for what I need, if not more than enough. There are many things that I often cut in half. I've learned that fun food can fit into my day with a good plan in place! Basically I've learned…
