I read some articles about GPS running apps a few days ago and they basically all say to take the GPS with a grain of salt. That said, I use Endomondo pro and I love it.

Aww man, I always loved Tae Bo, I started back when I was a teen in the 90's with a couple VHS tapes and did it off and on for years, but unfortunately it doesn't get along with my back, lol. It always seems to flair up my pre-existing back issues. So I'll just live vicariously through you guys! :)

From Washington, but living in Portland now!:)

I had this problem for YEARS every time I attempted a new jogging program, and it's what caused me to give up each time. I did tons of cardio back then so I didn't understand why my shins and ankles were so messed up. I walked at steep inclines on the treadmill also, and it didn't fix the problem. Today, I am in week 7 of…

I'm at 212 currently and had a goal to reach 199 by May 16th (this was back when it was do-able) but the scale has been very stubborn and I've been losing more inches rather than weight (not a bad thing!!) but I can't waaaaait to finally be under 200!

I'm in the middle of week 6 and loving it, and I'm over 200lbs so weight is no excuse not to try it:) I could barely handle a minute of jogging 6 weeks ago and now can handle over 10....still is disbelief over it:)

I didn't get a dramatic "before and after" but I will say that 30DS has helped my body more than any other type of workout I've done! My lifelong back pain has dramatically improved and it made me stronger than anything else has in a short amount of time. I finished the 30 days a long time ago but still do the workouts…

I just started C25K yesterday. I'm a beginner to say the least, never been able to jog more than 5 minutes at a time (and that was ONE single time, haha), so this shall be interesting! Feel free to friend me:)

I'm from Bremerton, WA! In Portland now. friending you:)

I just returned to a vegan diet a couple weeks ago and was also looking for new vegheads to add! :)

HAHA I just realized I messed up my picture - the Before is supposed to say May, not March! *eye roll* Haha gotta edit that:) Anyway, thanks so much you guys, the positive feedback is so motivating!! :D

My starting weight was 257 a few months ago, now I'm 238-ish. Been over 200 lbs most of my life. I could use some more friends who are bigger like me/have more to lose helps to have people we relate to in that way! :)

Easy, Kate Winslet in Titanic!! Ahhhh! Emme was one of my first weight-loss inspirations! It totally changed my outlook when I discovered plus sized models (even though they're not really plus sized, but that's a different story).

It's weird, my calorie goal is around 1800, and I had a failed attempt a few months ago because I was STARVING all the time (I was used to daily bingeing at the time). But this second attempt is AMAZING. I'm usually skipping breakfast and eating lunch and dinner later, which helps control night-time food urges, and…

My goal is just under 1800, so I qualify :)

WHAT?!?!?!?! This sounds pretty life-changing to me. But I wonder if they are suitable for non-Asian meals - I love stir fry but my weakness is old fashioned Italian pasta with marinara....what do ya'll think?

Never had a specific issue with period bloat so yes i still lose while on the rag :)

I've been a binger since I was a wee lass, lol. Been very overweight my whole life because of it. I don't think I'll ever be totally "normal", but thankfully I love healthful foods and cooking, so I make sure I always have good options on hand. I also do my best to let myself feel deprived, because that will trigger a…

Hey, never a bad thing to nudge people in the proper grammatical direction :)

Self worth should arise from being a caring, kind person - it has absolutely nothing to do with one's appearance.

I can't believe I never thought of that before...but then again I would eat gobs of it without exactly taking my weight into consideration...but anyway! I just got PB2 and use that ....just 45 calories. But I suppose your method would probably keep the true peanut butter flavor more than PB2 :)

When I had a gym membership I would walk and it was 1.3 miles away. I'd do 45-60 mins of cardio there, then walk back. I did that for a couple years. I'd be exhausted by the time I got home but I sure was losing weight.

Thank god for sewing machines! I re-size everything :)

Choking on my damn coffee....thanks a lot!

Oooh, definitely gonna look for this, thanks for the tip!

Yams are cheaper than sweet potatoes (in my area anyway), so I'm going to switch to yams! :) Either way they are my favorite "diet food" because they're soooo filling.

Ok, I made the "new, improved" recipe and I used half a banana - next time I'll try without. This is a wonderful simple recipe! It's really good for people who love that intense bitter chocolate flavor (like me!). I paired it with vanilla ice cream and PB2 "syrup" with cinnamon sprinkled on top:) Thank you sooooooooo much…

I actually read all 10 pages, haha. I'm making this right now! But I don't have apple sauce or pumpkin so I'm using banana....how much is 42 grams of a banana?

I give myself 150 cals worth of Coffeemate creamer every single day. Sad but true. I really should switch to just soy milk....

Ughhh that sucks! I feel your pain in a sense. As soon as I got back into exercising just a few weeks ago I totally messed my back up doing a kickboxing video. It re-aggrivated this weird back problem (slipped disc or something) I had for YEARS. .Now the pain is driving me crazy every single day and I don't know what to…
