I went for a walk even though I had left my iPod at work and didn't have music to listen to.

I think part of it is accountability as well. For some people, the knowledge that they have shelled out $50 or more on the program is added incentive to stick with it.

I'm still working on being more…

Hello, my name is Jennifer and I am an emotional eater. But today, despite the fact that I had a horribly stressful last couple hours of work, and despite my anxiety being through the roof, I drove straight home from work. I did not stop for ice cream. I did not go through a drive through (sadly, I didn't pass go and…

My Numbers: SW: 333 CW: 309.8 GW: 299 - A bit ambitious, but I'm hoping with the weather getting nicer and my dance group starting back up, I can amp up my exercise and leave the 300s behind.

I found out my dog died on Facebook :( It was a family pet we had for over 15 years

Hi guys :) I am so excited that it's actually starting to feel like spring around here! I've been able to get outside and take several walks over the past week, which has been great. I used to hate going for walks unless I was going somewhere specific, but I've been cooped up in the house for so long that I have absolutely…

If I'm really craving something, I eat it, I just try to watch my portion size (only eat one brownie instead of an entire pan of brownies) and then work the rest of my days calories around that indulgence. Otherwise, I just end up eating all day, and never quite get satisfied. For me at least, it's better to just give in…

Congratulations, Russ! That's such an amazing accomplishment!

Ouch, my neck hurts.

I've been around for about 3 months and could always use more friends (especially ones who are willing to call me out if I start slacking off on my logging.)

I do my "official" weigh in on Monday mornings as well, but I do step on the scale several other times during the week, just because I like to see the various fluctuations. If it's causing you a lot of stress or anxiety, I'd try to limit it to once per week. Tracking your measurements can also be really helpful, since the…

Plus it's my ToM, so I'm sure that doesn't help. Just have to get back into this and hope for a good number next week.

I watch Netflix way too much... I was on a Joss Wheadon kick for awhile (Firefly, Buffy, Angel, Dollhouse). I also really love Supernatural, Sherlock, Doctor Who, Merlin, and way too many other shows to remember.

My coworkers and I are all about the same age (28-29). The other day, we were discussing how awesome it would be to go skydiving next summer as kind of a celebration of us all turning 30. Whether or not we will /actually/ follow through with this, I don't know. What I do know is that I'm too heavy to go skydiving right…

This is a really great thread. It's nice to 'meet' all of you :) What to call me: My name is Jennifer, so that's a good start :) I get called Jen a lot online (though not offline). If you don't remember that, Singularity is fine (or just Sing for short). Birthday: December 3, 1984. I'll be turning 30 at the end of this…

Doctor Who fans, did you see this one? http://www.activateapparel.com/design/33773-im-filled-with-tiny-aliens Um, I think I might need that shirt. Not want, need.

I'm with you, OP. When I saw my mom last weekend, she told me it looked like I had lost weight. I tried to brush it off and change the subject, but she wouldn't let it go, and I ended up being sucked into a ten minute conversation about how I'm trying to watch my calories and exercise more. I hated every moment of it. To…

I got a lot of similar comments my whole life, but I think what hurt the most was that no one ever complimented me. Even if I was dressed up for a choir concert or a school dance or something, no one ever told me I looked nice. Maybe it's shallow, but sometimes you just want someone to call you pretty.
