I'm getting married June 2012 :) that's my motivation!

thanks ladies! i did 14 for the fit test...which is good for a girl haha! but i just got the urge to see how many i could do tonight and i passed it by alot more than i thought i would! so i'm hoping by the time i hit my first 90 days i'll be able to do 30 or so :)

Thank you! and you keep up the good work! I'm still doing the pullups with a chair..I can do about 8-10 on each one. i'm not physically strong enough to pull myself all the way up yet unassisted haha.. it'll come with time though!

Sorry... I enter them as circuit training under the Cardiovascular section..

I enter them as circuit training since i dont have a HRM

Roasted pine nut... soo yummy!

I simply go under Cardiovascular and look up strength training..that way you dont have to log every single exercise. I dont have a heart rate moniter, so that's how i do it :)

I dont think you have to wait until youre a certain number of pounds from your goal weight. I still have 50 lbs to lose and I'm on week 3. I think if you want to do it, go for it! Alot of people lose more inches than pounds, but then again some do the exact opposite. You'll definitely feel yourself getting stronger and…

I log mine as circuit training (or strength training-under the cardio section-on the days that use mostly weights)

I yell at the screen too sometimes when I do the workouts.. I'm on week 3-just started it-and i'm getting stronger and better at pushups. The best thing to do is stick with it. Do the modifications (pushups on your knees)..that's why they usually have at least one of the people showing you the easier way...because not…

cut into strips, or even little bite sizes...cut up some bell peppers, and other veggies, a little bit of olive oil, and some minced garlic (or garlic powder)..cook on the stovetop until chicken is cooked thru!.there's your stir fry! put over some brown rice or eat as is :)

just look at my profile picture :)

This made me laugh the other day... I hope it makes you laugh too! :) 1 - Open Google Maps (click Get Directions) 2 - Type China as your starting point (in box A) 3 - Type Taiwan as your destination (in box B). 4 - Read step 48 Haha!

same here..i'd go with lightly active as well. you dont have an 8-5 desk job, but youre also not a full time waitress.

take your own snack with you...just put it in your purse! that's what i do anyway :)

haha! that last part gave me a giggle :)

i use Chicken Seasoning (in the same aisle as all the other seasonings) and maybe a bit of garlic powder....even lemon pepper is good too!

i would log it...exercise is exercise whether it's walking briskly or leisurely :)

silly question, but how do i upload a picture on here? i've loaded them onto my profile but i dont know how to on the forums... thanks :)

welcome! i'm in nashville, tn but youre welcome to add me if you'd like!

hello and welcome! :) friend me if you'd like!

Oh, to be honest, i hadnt even thought of that! i just want to meet my goals above all else! i am going to colorado at the end of next month and then to the beach (later in july or august)..so really, i'll probably reward myself with a new swimsuit for the beach trip..but other than that i dont know what i'll do yet..

i like to do fridays because more times than not i'll splurge more on the weekends than during the week. then i have 5 days to make up for it. may not be the best way to think about it, but i'm just being honest with myself!

You can totally do it! And we are here to help! :)

this might sound silly, but get a waterbottle that doesnt spill out of the top when you turn it upside down....drink out of that throughout the day every day. You have to actually suck on it, so it's using your jaw and chin muscles. You wont lose a lot of weight from there but it'll help tighten those muscles! (plus it's…

Both...but it also depends on what youre eating. I personally get home from work, have dinner and let it settle for about 30 mins to an hour. Then i work out. Once the workout is over, i have a protein shake to recover and get some of those calories back. It's good to have protein as it helps turn fat into muscle.

One exercise you can do to help the lower part of your abs/stomach is lay on the floor; lift your legs straight up in the air (to where youre in an L shape) and lift your butt of the floor and then lower it...but dont slam it back down, or you'll hurt your back. it's like a crunch for your lower abs. (and it's alot harder…

sugar free chocolate pudding :)

any of the 100 calorie snacks...these would be good because they're already prepackaged :)

welcome! best wishes in your journey of lifestyle changes...feel free to add me if you'd like :)
