I'm in the middle of week 5 and need to do Cardio 2 today for the first time. I'm a little afraid of it but off I go.........

Northern Illinois here!

Jehovah Witnesses have very strong beliefs. I certainly wouldn't want to start off a marriage basically alienating my in-laws. I would also think long and hard about marrying someone who comes from a family with such strict and differing beliefs from my own.

If you want reasonably priced dvds try any Jillian Michaels or Biggest Loser Workouts.

Yum!! Thanks so much for posting.

Forget about the single scene. Think about your interests/hobbies etc and get involved in college clubs and activities that you would enjoy. Even try out some activities that have always interested you but you have never tried before. The beginning of the school year is the perfect time to try out new things and new clubs…

LOL Good one!

It's definately possible. I'm sure you've heard of it before but try the C25K program. It really works! I'm proof.

Yummmm! I love kohlrabi. I have never had them any way except raw. In fact, I have one cleaned and ready to eat right now.

Love it!

Congratulations!!! I know exactly how you feel. I just noticed the same thing for myself this past week. It is quite a high!

A rice cooker or a special blender for making smoothies!

I've been struggling to lose the last pounds too. It's a long haul but I refuse to give up. Slow and steady wins the race. Hang in there. You can do it!

That price is ridiculous!!! I paid only about 2 or 3 dollars for mine for my ipod touch. They have updates now that I didn't use since I finished the 9 week program a few months ago. However, what I got was a program that beeps and talks to you to let you know when you should walk and/or run. I loved it because I was able…

non-scale victory like finally being able to touch your toes or losing inches

My favorite is Taste of Home Diet Comfort Food Cookbook. Easy recipes to prepare and very tasty!

Listen to music during your run. It really helps take your mind off of the struggle. What also worked for me was slowing my pace. I focused on running for the time specified and not the distance. I had to repeat a few days here and there but I graduated and am now beginning the Bridge to 10K. You can do this !!!!

Yep, try the battery. Maybe try wetting the sensor areas on the chest strap before putting it on also. The strap is tight enough when you put it on, right? Good luck.

Isn't it a great feeling? Way to Go!!!!:drinker:

I know exactly how you're feeling. I'm experiencing the same type of thing. Add quitting smoking to the equation for me too. It is extremely difficult and frustrating to continually go up and down. The pounds come off but at a very very slow rate for me. Sometimes I just want to give up. In fact, last year I did give up.…

Losing the weight has been VERY slow going for me. I have also been going up and down in pounds. It is extremely frustrating. One thing I noticed for myself though is that sodium is my main problem. When I have a high sodium intake I know I can expect an extra pound or two show up on the scale. Just a thought that if you…

I don't drink water during my 30 to 60 minute runs.

How I wish it was that simple. There are way too many other factors involved than just burning 3500 calories a week to lose one pound a week.

I have no personal experience with antidepressents but I had always heard that one should never just stop taking them cold turkey. A person should be eased off them along with doctor's help and knowledge. So, I can believe you would have side effects. Good luck.

You have every right to brag. Congratulations! And thank you for not only being an inspiration but also telling us how you were so successful at losing the weight and toning up.

I just bought it 2 days ago at Walmart.

Two thumbs up!!!!!

Definately outside. I have never even been on a treadmill!

Way to go for pushing yourself like you did. You should be very proud!!! :drinker:

Good luck. Be aware when buying canned food. Levels of sodium can be sky high .
