I do start slow walking and increase my speed. I'm going to try stretching after the walk/jog. Ha, I wish I could afford a massage :|

I have a banana and walnuts every morning :smiley:

Thank you! I'll try it!

Nope. I walk and increase my speed and the last few minutes I jog.

I, sadly put salt on everything. I've also been drinking propel with electrolytes. Hmm, maybe I should drink more of that then?

The hot new guy in my life :# Who's vegan and stick freaking thin!

Inspiring! :)

I think I've bought everything by Laura Kaye, lol. Now, I've just got to wait for Barnes and Noble to deliver them :D :#

And I got a fitbit. Maybe that'll inspire me more. :)

They're fabulous! If you're looking for more heat I suggest Samantha Young's On Doublin Street Series or Laura Kaye's Hard Ink Series. If you're looking for more action I'm reading Cindy Gerard's One Eye'd Jacks Series. I'm in a book frenzy and Barnes and Nobles keeps having sales, lol.

Wow. This took a turn, lol. I'm going to stick with walking right now. It's working for me and I am overweight still so when I loose more I'll consider the idea of running. My brother's jogging now and he loves it. The time it takes to walk is getting annoying but I'm trying to increase my speed to adjust that. BTW, 2.2…

Thank you so much for the information everyone!! :*

Laura Griffin - Glass Sisters series. The suspense is awesome.

How did I miss this thread! Recent reads I'd recommend: Poison Princess by Kresley Cole (YA) Sting by Sandra Brown (suspense) Lie to me by Christine Anna Kirchoff (My book, of course ;) :# ) The Terror by Dan Simmons (soon to be a tv series)

Nope, lol. I prefer to exercise alone. You can belt out your favorite song or trip without anyone knowing. :# ;)

Ugh, my doctor just told me I had a fatty liver. I found this interesting.

I used to go to Weight Watchers and they preached about weighing once a week. The problem is, if I lose focus or drive during the week, I eat more. I'd do great the first half of the week, get bored and then lax. When I weighed myself that one day, I would be angry if I gained and unhappy if I lost because it was only a…

I'm low on Iron as well. I have to take the pills because I don't eat a lot of the stuff with Iron in it. So, my vote is for the pills :) Good luck!!

I had the same issue with Vitamin D. I was always tired. A few days after taking D, I noticed a huge difference! I also take Omega because most vegetarians don't eat enough foods with Omega and it's amazing for you. But you should ask your doctor first because it does make your blood thinner. Good luck!!

Beans. Protein bars. Protein shakes. lacto ovo vegetarian: Eggs. Milk. Cheese (which I see bothers you, maybe a lactose free kind?) It's seriously hard to get protein, I know, I've been a vegetarian for years. Good luck!!

OMG, stress eating kills my progress. Lately, I've been eating more protein and keeping really healthy foods in the house. So, when I go stress eating all I have are healthy stuff. (Watermelon, banana's, protein bars) It sucks but seems to be helping me not gain. Also anothersara88, I had the D and Iron deficiency too!…

[/quote] Yes, I actually am a vegetarian. I didn't realize. My protein was off. But then again ,I just went through a big can of fitmiss protein shake, a few days ago. I haven't bought another one.[/quote] I'm a vegetarian myself. (Lacto ovo) It's ridiculously hard to get protein in. You really have to plan/think on…

"One bite won't hurt." Yup, it will. One will turn into two. Two will turn into three. And the entire box of cookies will be gone. Then they look at me all pissed because they didn't get any! :| :(

It's calories so log it, I would think. Also, my dog is named Jack Daniels. :D

You're amazing! These success stories really help!

Be very careful with a fitbit and heart issues. The fitbit gave my mother an extra heartbeat. She went for a bunch of tests and the extra beat went away when she stopped wearing it. Good luck!
