Your body can't tell the difference between pure H20 and H20 that is found in tea or coffee or watermelon or celery or anything else. It draws the H20 into the cells the exact same way. Some people (myself) still choose to drink only water as far as the "daily water count" goes because I don't like to drink my calories…

Feta, but it's a close tie. I really love cheese. Gruyere is another fave :)

NO one is too fat for C25k! That's the beauty of it, you go at your own pace. I started C25k at 285 having never run a day in my life. My "jogging" intervals were more like speed walking, but it still got my heart rate up and burnt a ton of calories. As long as you're following the basic principle (warm up, increase heart…

I feel for you. I get really angry and irritable when I can't poop. :( Seconding what everyone else said. I really have nothing to add but I felt that I had to post in a thread about poop.

No man who loves you is going to be able to be talked into doing anything. If a girl makes a pass at him and he accepts, he doesn't respect or love you, end of story. This isn't a fairy tale, there are no evil witches and magic love spells that will steal your prince away. A relationship is just two adults treating each…

I never used to, but now I do. Now that I actually know how to read them and what to look for, I check everything at the grocery store before I even put it in my cart.

Go to the park, and have fun. I promise you nobody is even going to look at you twice and even if they did, you'll never see these people again in your life. I weighed 287 pounds at my heaviest and I still put on my plus size bathing suit and had a blast at the beach. You only have one life, why waste it worrying what…

I was 16, my dad bought me one once I got my license and put me on a plan with 60 minutes a month and nights and weekends, haha. I still remember waiting by the phone for 9 pm to strike so I could call my friends! I'm 27 now :)

Reminds me of a bit by the comedian Eddie Izzard: :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5X-9brvoq0

Amazing, you look great! Inspirational :)

That's 1.5 lbs in a week, which is fantastic... I agree with an above poster who says you may have to reanalyze your goals and make them more realistic to healthy weight loss, lest you get discouraged and quit. Slow, steady weight loss is the weight loss that will stay with you for life.

Downloading now! I'll try it for the 7 days and then if it's decent, 13 bucks is a worthwhile investment for my health :) PTs at my gym cost 60 bucks a session!

One of my favorite breakfasts is two whole eggs over easy with cheese on multi-grain toast and some Greek yogurt and fruit. Lots of protein to keep me full through the morning, and really tasty! :) I also love steel-cut oats with fruit, honey, almonds or brown sugar.

When I moved into Baltimore, I was contractually obligated to begin hating the Steelers. I'm pretty sure they made me sign something when I got my license. True story.

Pita chips with hummus! :)

I delete and have been deleted. I usually give them a bit of time, maybe they're busy or caught up with real life and just haven't been logging on. Then I comment or message them to let them know I'm still rooting for them. If I still see no activity or even a reply saying "I know I've been slacking, but ____" and have…

First weapon: A small bottle of antibacterial hand spray from Bath and Body works Second weapon: A nursing textbook ... I'm dead, but at least I'll go out smelling like Japanese Cherry Blossom?

I have stretch marks, I love alcohol, and I go to the gym with no makeup and any old clothing I can find, even if it's wrinkled from sitting at the bottom of my dresser drawer for 7 months. Also, I love carbs.

Hey ladies! I too have a big goal--140 for now, but I may bump it up to 155 depending on how I feel/look. Friend invites coming your way, and anybody is free to add me! I talk a lot and post a ton of status updates, so if you don't feel like hearing it 7 times a day, then I won't be offended if you look for friends…

Ah, I love this! I have no tats, but plan on getting one when I hit my GW to celebrate my transformation. I plan on getting a sparrow, which traditionally represents a journey and freedom. It'll be my gift to myself to represent my freedom from my unfit and unhappy lifestyle and the long journey it's taken. :)

I'm aiming for it! I still have a long way to go, though :blushing: I'm doing C25k now and I'm petrified of actually making the commitment to a real race.

Shawshank Redemption. I also really loved The Shining. I liked The Langoliers, too, but the movie sucked.

Guuuuurl. :flowerforyou:

Been glued to the Olympics since they started :)

FT60 and I'm in love <3

I like to grill it and then slice it in half so I end up with thin filets. Then I put it on a multigrain roll with some reduced fat cheese, pesto sauce, tomato, and spinach, and press it in a panini press.

I love Amy's! I only just recently found it!
