Ha Ha! That's great! Note to self: double check bathing suit fit BEFORE going to Cancun in 2 months. I'm hoping to need a new bathing suit by then :o) When I dive in that pool it will be very public and my family will NOT be oblivious!

Ugh! That was way more work than I remember the first time I tried this a few months ago!!! But I've gotta start somewhere, right?! The first time I ran it hurt but it got better and now I actually enjoy it! Maybe situps will be the same? Okay, probably not, but I'm trying to be optimistic!

LOL! I think it's a tie! Nice!

Meow!

Only when you lose 10 pounds! You have to go into your settings and change your goal, then change it back again and watch what happens to your calories.

- a belly button ring - when I'm not ashamed to show someone by belly! - a pair of sexy knee-high boots - as soon as I can get them zipped up! - in my wildest dreams - a bikini - if I can pull it off ???

I'm on Week 5. I've been trying to run 5 times a week and I usually alternate between the current week and an earlier week so that I can work on my pace on shorter runs. So my RUN pace varies a lot depending on which day I'm doing. The average is about 14 min/mile for current week and 12-13 when doing an earlier week (with…

It's amazing what you can do when you pace yourself! I didn't think I'd make 3 minutes and now I'm doing 5 (week 5). Just slow down and have faith that you'll do it, and chances are, you will! Incidentally, that's the week I flushed my cigarettes. My chest was ready to explode but it felt so damn good to push myself and…

Congrats! That's awesome!

Finally got my initial test done... Not sure how good my form was but I did 21!

amen brother for c25k!!! and HOORAY for you for kicking butt!

Good for you girl! You're in the right place, and yes, having friends really helps! Add me!

Someone with a name like lilyinlove hates nice people??? Come on, there's a big softie under there somewhere, you gave it away!

nice!

Did you know you can't make more than 5 friend requests in 10 minutes??? Wow, that takes the steam out of this fishing expedition! I was just getting started!

Ah heck who couldn't use more friends, especially on a long weekend!!!

If you're just starting out, change your goal to give you more calories (less of a loss) and ease into it. It made all the difference in the world to me starting out. Also, eat more veggies; make sure what you're eating has some fibre and/or protein in it to keep you full; lose most of the condiments and what you can't…

I'd say to start off nicely, maybe a note under their door saying that you're concerned about their dog, is something wrong that he barks all the time, are they aware of it, etc. Then contact the office and/or ask some of the other tenants if they are bothered by it. Even if you're allowed animals, I would think they would…

Amen! I'm in the same boat as you, hoping to do a 5k next month and I know I'm going to be at the very end cuz I'll still have to walk a good chunk of it, but I'm gonna hold my head high and tell people that I ran my first 5k and if they ask where I came in, I'll just say "Ahead of you!"

This was my first thought too. It's hard to hate her (too much) for it when you realize she probably NEEDS to hear it to convince herself. Don't be too hard on her over it. Maybe just something like, "okay, we both know you're beautiful, what happened next?"

LOL! Ouch! :noway:

Love it! Thanks for the chuckle!

Went out to do C25K this morning and asked daughter "Will it be mortifying for you when everyone on the bus sees me out there trying to run?" her: "No, they'll just think you're walking" Um, thanks, I guess. Better than saying yes, you look like a geriatric hustling to get to the bathroom in time.

done! good luck!

LOL! You had me at "weigh again in 5 minutes" :flowerforyou:

lol!

#1 Call my hubby and tell him he can finally quit the job he HATES. #2 Pay off debts. #3 Put half away in a 'safe' place. #4 Probably move to Vancouver, Toronto or maybe even Los Angeles so my husband could pursue a career in acting. #5 When #4 fails, move back home and life off #3 for a while ;o)

Yup, without chocolate and cigarettes, that's pretty much what's left... Or a good talk with hubby or bff. Oh, and bubble bath goes without saying, right? And sometimes, wanting to be a better example for my daughter helps shake it off, as does a good cuddle with her!

Yay! That's awesome! You sound soooo happy! And you deserve to be! Keep up the great work!

Dang Girl - that is AWESOME! Sometimes that is just the boost we need. Way to go! I just went and took another look at your profile pics, and YEAH, you're lookin' hot!
