Did anyone meet their goals? I unfortunately didn't :-( I got down to 160 but I've kind of stalled around there. I somehow hurt my shoulder (pinched nerve or something.. got so bad that I had to call into work and go straight to the doctor because I could barely get out of bed :-( ) so I haven't made it back to the gym. I…

My main goal is to get (and stay) out of the 160s! I'm only a couple pounds away so I think it's doable. My other goal is to get back into the gym! I've been off and on sick for the last month or so. Now that I'm feeling better, I need to start doing some walking and weight lifting again. I just need to find the time!

My goal was to go from 185 to about 150. I'm currently at about 163, so I only have about 10-15 pounds until I'm at where I'd like to be! I also want to start working out again to tone up. Definitely my back and arms for my dress, but I also want some abs back! Food related, I want to keep focusing on eating better. I've…

March 23, 2013! Getting closer! I've lost about 20 pounds so far, hoping to lose maybe 10-15 more by then. I'm living proof that MFP works if you stick to it (most days at least - and today's diary is NOT how I usually eat, don't worry lol). So keep it up ladies!

My ring was about half a size too big to begin with so it was a tiny bit loose but not enough that I was worried about it. I've lost almost 20lbs now and it's much looser. It spins around and is really easy too get on and off. Not quite big enough to slide right off, but it's getting there. I'm thinking about getting it…

Hey all! I'm about halfway to my goal and MFP has been the main thing that's helped me. I'm proof that if you stick with it, it can happen! I have about 5 months until my wedding so I'm hoping I can lose it all by then! Though that may be an issue with my dress because it was already too big and I'm not sure how much they…

What the what? I haven't really been playing.. looks like I need to hop on and figure this all out! I'm a fire mage and only sorta played around with talents on the beta.. what should I be prepared for? Haha.
-
I had the same problem. I started working out a lot more.. I've gone on a walk/run the last 4 days and ate decently well, but I somehow gained 2 pounds today! I remember hearing somewhere that your muscles can swell when you start working out more so I'm hoping that's what it is! Impman66 - If you have the same physical…

My thighs have always touched, even when I was pretty small in high school. Then again I have pretty muscular thighs so that doesn't help. I never had problems though until I went on a long walk one day in shorts and OUCH. I've never had chafing before and now I know how much it sucks. Not sure why the difference in weight…

bumping for later

I definitely know the feeling! I have to keep reminding my fiance that I'm trying to eat healthier so no, I do not want that delicious donut you brought home or half a frozen pizza! I also just had a friend in town and she wanted to go out to eat twice in one day which for me has become a no-no. I ended up just trying to…

Also, WHERE do they sell the Laughing Cow cream cheese? My town is pretty much all Cashwise/Coborn's and I haven't seen it there. We also have a Byerly's, Aldi's, Target and Walmart. Used to have two Cubs but they were taken over by Cashwise..

Mmm I think the rest of you are more creative than me! I'll have to try some of these suggestions! I usually eat them with Wheat Thins (either multigrain or reduced fat ones) or my favorite is spreading it on a tortilla for a wrap sandwich. Then I don't use mayo OR cheese, but I get the somewhat cheesy taste and some sort…

My biggest thing is less junk food. Or at least if I get some chips or cookies, I try to go with the best option possible. I also do a better job with "measuring". I don't really measure everything perfectly, but I actually look at the serving size and try to get close to that.
-
I'm baking some chicken breast right now! I seasoned it with some garlic powder, onion flakes, cajun seasoning and parsley, as well as a little BBQ sauce. It smells amazing, I hope it tastes as good! I'm also going to make some broccoli and rice, one of those steam in the microwave things because I don't have broccoli and…

I had some friends that did the color run in Minneapolis today (or was in in St. Paul? I think it was at the fairgrounds). I was jealous because I wanted to go but I can't really afford the entry fee at the moment :-/ But next year, I WILL be there! And I will run it, hopefully only walking at the color stations!

Oh my.. interesting. I'm like someone from Barbados. 29bmi You have a higher BMI than 65% of females aged 15-29 in your country (USA) You have a higher BMI than 95% of females aged 15-29 in the world Ouch. Ok.. the problem though is there is a huge difference between a 15 year old and 29 year old. When I was 15 I ate…

Depression is one of the reasons I never lost any weight after I packed it on. Even now it's difficult. Taking antidepressants didn't help. They DID help me a lot with the severe anxiety I was dealing with a couple years ago. I think a lot of people don't realize that that type of medication does NOT make most people feel…

I've also seen tons of people say they only really lose a few pounds, but the difference in how they look is AMAZING. I saw a thread once (wish I had saved it, I'd link it) where she lost maybe 3 pounds? But she seriously looked like she lost 20. Not sure how many inches she lost but she was really toned and looked great!…

They are very basic, but I think they are great for beginners. It helped me at first really understand balance. For example, the warrior pose. I think a lot of people want to lean a lot more on that front leg. But the correct way to do it is keeping a balance between the two legs. I don't think I would have understood that…

Nice job! Sometimes putting things in perspective like that can be motivation enough :-)

I LOVE wine! I don't drink it that often but I tend to go for sweeter wines, even if they're reds. My favorite whites are moscato and reisling mostly! Some of the best wine I've had though are the ones from local wineries that don't use grapes. We recently had a black currant wine that was SO good. It was like a red, but…

I LOVE yoga! I personally prefer going to a class, but I know that's not an option for everyone. I wouldn't say it's necessarily the best way to slim down, but it really depends. When you're first starting, trust me, you get pretty sweaty, haha. From some things I've read (sorry, can't think of where), it's not exactly a…

I've dated a few gamers, and my fiance is one too. The first one I dated for about a year and a half when I was young (senior year of high school until almost the end of my freshman year of college). He's the one that got me into WoW when it came out. We played together a lot. The problem was he became obsessed with it.…

Hehe. Hey, it's motivating isn't it?
-
I do! I love Zumba especially. I also have a Just Dance game and a Dance Central one. Might look into some other ones too!
-
How about some pictures that I found on Pinterest?

I think I need to pop my 30DS DVD back in and restart it! I want my back and arms to look nice in my wedding dress ;-) I can't believe the difference in that amount of time! And it looks like WAY more than a 3lb difference. Amazing, thanks for sharing!
-
I am! My arms are pretty painful right now. I haven't done any lifting (other than a little bit with some 2lb weights I have, I don't think that really counts, haha) in a long time, so I decided to start. I did a bunch of arm work on Sunday. Not too much, but enough that I was pretty sore! Then last night I was at a…
