  • I do have off days. I go to school full time and needed a filler class so I take aerobics. This isn't no Jane Fonda type class though LOL we do dancing, Taebo type moves, Insanity type moves, weights, gliders, circuit, etc. We do SO many different workouts and I love it! So here is what my schedule has been.... Mon-…
  • Sodium and I are not friends, AT ALL. If I eat ONE bad meal, just one, my weight is sky high for about 4-5 days. So if you fell off the wagon for 10 full days, it could def be sodium. Just chug the water to help get it out of there. It'll come back off if it is sodium. I will also say though, I took a mini vaca last summer…
  • I love Shred!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've lost so much from doing that one and repeating it. Plus it's only 20 min! Can't beat that
  • Hmmm diet?? Well, that is a recent change! I have been on MFP for almost a year and eating pretty healthy but still a lot of processed. About a month ago I ditched processed. Not totally, but cut it wayyyyy down. 80/20-90/10 lifestyle. I'm buying my meats from local farms and sticking to produce, beans, nuts and seeds.…
  • Yeah, I have ran as far as 7 miles (twice in one week). This weeks training is just now putting me at 7. I'm doing Hal Higdons so I have one long run a week. I haven't really slowed down that much. I usually do about 10:00-10:30 but on my long run days I do tend to bring it down to 11:00-11:30. My shoes are reasonably new,…
  • I'm 5'2" but figured close enough to reply lol I started at 187 (left pic) and am currently 145 (right pic) Originally my goal was 150 but once there I decided I wasn't quite satisfied. My healthy BMI weight is 128 to 136 (that ranges depending on different sites) but I am aiming for 130-135. I'm naturally "curvy" so I…
  • LMAO this is an awesome thread lol Bad days: "Oh come on! WTF!!!" unless I expected the gain from misbehaing then it's "yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, b*tch" Good days: "Holy *kitten* OMG OMG OMG" then stepping back on it just to see it again.
  • I am up to an hour and 10 min (7 miles) but I didn't just jump up and do that. I've been running for 6 months. I started with running while one song played then walking a song, then running a song, then walking one etc. I slowly progressed.
  • Here ya go :) Can someone let me know if it's huge or if it's where you can see the side by side in it's entirety. I'm using the same code and sometimes it's the right size and sometimes it's showing me this huge pic?!!?! Anyways, my little boy is 2 :) I started loosing weight in Feb/March 2011
  • Awesome job!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE 30DS. I have been doing it for a year basically. I do other workouts but it's my go to quick workout! Love my results!
  • 6 tats here! I have a 7th one planned of course!
  • hahaha I wear two sports bras and an old nursing tank (the built in bra in it is fantastic!). Layers layers layers!
  • HAHA that title grabbed right at me! I'm 5'2" and large busted. I was 187 and am currently 145. I originally set my goal for 150 but once I got there knew I needed to drop more. I'm currently a 10 (can do an 8 in a few). I'm starting to like my body now. I'm still going for 135 and may even shoot for 130 but I think…
  • My son is 2 and was living off of Happy Meals and was eating nothing BUT processed sweets. He would only eat chicken nuggets and french fries from fast food. He's 2. He was on a dangerous path. For now, he is very limited. He is now ASKING for carrots and loves raw nuts. A huge step in the right direction. Don't get me…
  • AMEN!!! Exactly what I try to make people understand!
  • My half is April 14 :)
  • I tweaked it a little to accomidate my personal schedule.
  • OMG my family is the same way. I am adopted but my mom has had 2 weightloss surgeries, going for number 3 and her (only) biological daughter just had one in May. It's crazy! And I've attended thier dr appts, they all say, low fat, low cal diets and neither of them do it! My sister has lost a lot and is only a size bigger…
  • Oh no, my son gets SOME treats. I just don't think he needs daily, or even weekly sweets. An occasional piece of cake or cookie is fine but my parents want to feed him sweets the two times a week we are over there. I think it's too much.
  • Ohhh man where do I begin, where oh where. I've been there. Kinda. I was with my ex for 5 years, sadly for me, I did marry him. 2 weeks later he was sleeping with someone else. I left and moved back home to NC. I spent the next solid year being his yo yo toy. In between girlfriends I got the "Ohh lets be friends, work on…
  • Running keeps me from snapping on everyone LOL I get you ;) I love how I feel after I hit a new best in distance. 15 miles is wonderful!!! I'm finally hitting the part of my training where I'll be pushing my distance, I'm nervous!!!
  • I am def one of the crazies LOL My fiance' is getting me the shirt that says "I'm only half crazy, 13.1" to have waiting for me a the finish line :) I hurt my achilles tendon in Dec, I still get twinges from it :( I ran too hard in my Vibrams one day, benched me for a week and I had to get better shoes (Reebok RealFlex,…
  • Holy crap you're doing Tough Mudder!!! YIKES!!!! My fiance' insists I do it but I said not till I get through Warrior Dash first! LOL It's only a 5K vs Tough Mudder being 10 miles! Good for you!!!!!! I've ran 4 5Ks, you will LOVE it. Though I didn't use the C25K program, I've looked at it, it's a wonderful program! I'm…
  • That's the thing, I've dropped 42 lbs on my own. My sister (I'm adopted) just had gastric bypass in May and dropped 180 lbs, but she STILL don't eat right or work out. My mom is just so surrounded by the fact food is for rewards, love, emotions etc. that she can't grasp the concept of it being nutrition only. It helps to…
  • I'll try this out :) Gender: Female Age: 26 Height: 5'2" SW: 187 CW: 145 GW: 135 (maybe 130) NSV goals: run a half marathon (training now) run a full marathon at the end of the year. Be a size 8, I've NEVER been a single digit size! I'm currently a size 10 (just got there) I actually want to REGRET not getting my wedding…
  • I'm 5'2" and currently 146 (was 187) but I started with a goal of 150. Like sunshine_88 said, I got there, reevaluated and reset my goal for 135. My BMI ideal weight is 124-138 however I'm a naturally curvy girl, hips, bust, thighs, so I'm thinking 135 will be it for me. Puts me at a healthy BMI (not that BMI is an…
  • Def a difference! I LOVE SHRED! I've been using it for almost a year. I just repeat it lol. I'll take a break and do different things but for the most part, it's my go to workout. Level 2 will tone the crap out of you! I loose the most inches on that one.
  • Great job!!!!!!!!!!! You look wonderful! Keep up the good work!
  • I totally agree with you! I've been at this almost a year and had I went from how I ate then to how I eat now, I would have failed for sure. Baby steps is the way to go. I started with soda and have progressed since to where I am now.
