Welcome - feel free to add me! :)

Well i have a lot more cutting to do then you! but I am already losing inches everywhere... add me if you like

Re: I have the same problem with boots. My calves at 18 inches. What have you been doing to get your calves smaller? running- not fast sprinting (which I can't do) because that will build the calve muscle- but slow long distance (well long for me) running. reading online it was the only thing other then routinely…

I started running last year and have horrible shin pain. Unfortunately I just have to push threw it. The recommendation given to me is a pain that builds gradually and is constant is one you push threw. If the pain comes on sudden and is sharp or stabbing -it's one that you need to get looked at. Also make sure you are not…

Definetly start running (and stop calling it jogging- don't downplay your effort!). I started running last year so I understand how hard it is. I also could walk fast then I could run. But you have to start somewhere and until you start you won't improve. So run for along as you can then walk for a minute or two to…

Always go for it!!! Forget about your time and just finish it. Trust me it feels great. Then after your first 5k your next will be shooting to improve. Walk if you need to. My first 5k my time was terrible but crossing that finish line I didn't care. I made it. It gives you something to build on.

Bring it on!

Welcome! add away

I have a 40 minute drive one way to work everyday. The only thing that saves me is Audiobooks. I check them out from the library constantly. That way I get sucked into the story and then presto I am home. Didn't even think about stopping anywhere, but I was a kid that loved story time so maybe this just works for me. I…

Hang in there... I am also an emotional eater. I just can't be trusted when stressed, why must we be so hard on ourselves- really!!! The support here is great! Welcome

WOW amazing work! You look fabulous.

There was a 5k run to benefit blindness so I signed up. I thought I don't run much but this will be fun. Well when I went to run for the first time I could barely make it a quater mile. I realized I was more then overweight but completely out of shape. That was my low point I couldn't have run a mile if my life depended on…

this is going to be the time right!! to the restarters! of which I am one.

I use to have the same issues... cramps so bad they really kept you from doing anything... moody.. no energy. My Dr recommended a low dose birth control. It's been about 5 years now and I never have any of the complaints that I use too. You should bring it up during you next appointment and see if they have any…

Your killin me smalls.... Sandlot We had our hands on the future, but we blew it to save our own lives.... sorry.... Mickey-The Goonies I love the dark, I love the dark, but I hate nature, I hate nature!... Chunk-The Goonies.. Actually I love most the lines in that movie

I agree- don't be too restrictive at first because you will feel deprived and just fall of the wagon. There are a lot of great websites for healthy recipes- Eatingwell.com Skinnytaste.com - those are two of my favorites.

It sounds more like a sugar addiction to me. A carb addition is more bread and pasta... that is a pain I know.

LOL that just wasn't fair... I don't know anyone with will power that could take on all of that. Totally not your fault... Bill your friend for a personal trainer session.

I totally feel of the wagon also.... But good news we are not quitters!!! Feel free to add me!

I have had long hair my entire life. My hair is pretty thick and my mother alittle sadistic... LOL She would put me to bed with with damp hair rolled up in curlers... they last the best then when you take them out in the morning and spritz them. I know your daugter is young but keeping curls on a kid just doesn't work…

Awww. C'mon guys. Don't make me do it! Not the truffle shuffle!! -Chunk Actually most of my favorite movie quotes come from the goonies. Pinchers of power! Pinchers of Power! You guys I have been saved by my pinchers of power! -Data

How much protein did you have?

At the gym I use my iPod. I need to get into my head and push myself. The shows on tv just don't do it for me. I end up counting every second of pain. The cooking channel I completely don't understand itsn't it counter productive? To leave the gym wanting a cup cake? Maybe it's a tactic to stay in business.
