I am trying to get up early and work out too. This morning I hit snooze almost too much. I did wake up and I did my workout, but I'm still feeling guilty because I didn't jump up and get it done with time to spare. Oh well. There's always tomorrow. Maybe I'll buy a proper alarm clock, instead of using my phone.

I have the Welso. I think it's great. I didn't have the budget for anything more expensive. I use it to walk in the evenings, and there are a few of the weight loss workouts that I can do (#1 and #3) There are 6 total workouts, and I can't run fast enough to do any of the others yet. It's not the same as the $2000…

Me too. I binged, but I think my idea of a binge has changed. Because I seriously think that my "binge" now has way less calories than my binges before I began logging on MFP. Just because mostly I only have healthy, low calorie foods in the house to binge on. Anyway, today's a new day!

Yay for pants! None of my jeans fit me anymore and I've been wearing my gym clothes 24/7 on the weekends because I still have so much to lose, I don't want to buy new pants. But it's getting ridiculous. I get paid on Friday, so I'm going to buy one pair of cheap jeans this weekend. NSV!

Awesome job! So much weight lost!

You guys rock! You look fabulous!

You look great! Way to go!

I recently quit smoking and I got down on myself for having strong cravings. But I had an "ah ha" moment in which I realized that cravings are natural. You are going to have cravings, but what matters is that I don't smoke, or that in your case, you did not stop at a drive thru. That's what matters. Don't get down on…

You look fantastic!!!

In college I had a budget of $20 for groceries for the week. I bought ramen noodles.

I used to do sneaky desk exercises like iso abs crunches and leg raises under the desk. Push down on the desk as hard as you can for 10 seconds, then push up on the desk as hard as you can for 10 seconds. You can find lots of ideas if you google "sneaky desk exercises." It's hard to do that and work at the same time tho.

I'm in! Just got a new treadmill. 7.25 miles done.

That's fantastic! I hope one day to be able to work up to a run/jog interval. What I'm doing right now is power walk/walk. You're doing great!

My son is overweight, but I waited until he complained about it. Then we both went to his doctor together, and are making healthy changes. Now we are both losing weight together. It's like a family thing lol. Now instead of being overweight together, we are eating less and exercising more together. I think its great. We're…

I think a lot of people use a heart rate monitor and manually enter the calories burned. There was a thread about calories burned during the 30DS. And I think Tae Bo is an option.

I was just sick for 2 days, and try though I might, I couldn't stick to my diet, and ate too much. I was expecting to see a gain in the scale, but I totally didn't gain any weight. I'm feeling better today, so hope to get right back on the horse and keep losing. Weird.

I always try different workout videos, and I came across one a long time ago called AgilityX: LW8 Here's my full post about it: http://fabworkoutdvds.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html Basically, the instructor uses 8 different moves to make up the whole workout. There are 4 animal moves, which are your high intensity…

I just started 30DS three days ago, but didn't do it this morning because I felt "off." I was thinking of doing it later tonight if I can, but wondering if my body does need a rest. I haven't taken a day off from exercising in general for about 3 weeks. I don't know. I'll see how I feel after work. But maybe today is a…

Guys can't do kegels.

I just joined the 30DS group. I did Level 1 day 1 this morning. No problem! I remember it being much worse. I think I'm in better shape today than when I tried it years ago.

Jillian Michaels kicks my *kitten*. I haven't done one of her workouts for more than a year. I'm working back up to it, and maybe in a couple of weeks or so, I might try something. The longer her workouts are, the easier they are. The short ones are the killers. I just don't think I can handle jacks straight into mountain…

^^ This.

To have a smoke-free year! To continue to lose weight, however slowly. To have to buy new pants because I've lost so much weight.

I've been there with the 5-6 hours of awkwardness, yuck! My "husband" turned a corner as soon as I filed paperwork, and has been friendly ever since. I'm a yo yo dieter, and I have been slender before, but I was fat when I met him. I'm trying to lose weight now because I'm a divorcee, and I want to look more attractive. I…
