  • nevermind! i searched and found it :)
  • i went home to visit my family for 4 days where we did Thanksgiving early. I was able to squeeze in time for a run, stay within my calories a few of the days and came home and only gained .2 pounds. With all of the travel food and T-day favorites, I count that as a victory!
  • i didn't get an invite, but i did give you my starting weight- 183.
  • My SW is 183 today
  • i think it's really brave what you're doing, because it's scary to confront someone you love so much. but it's also scary to think about what your mom's doing to herself healthwise, so props for writing the letter! my suggestion would be this. . .i would keep it simple and stick to the parts about how you are worried about…
  • i'm in! I like that we get to way in the day before Thanksgiving so we have some time to burn off those T-day pounds :)
  • I'm in! Mini-goals 1. Do the 30 Day Shred 6 days 2. Drink 6 glasses of water or crystal light each day 3. Stick to within my calorie goal all week until I go out of town and eat as well as possible when I'm away.
  • sometimes I set my goals to maintain for the weekends. it gives you extra calories and though you're not losing, you're not putting back on what you took off. it gives you a bit of wiggle room and a chance to splurge on a few things-just plan it out a bit. and if you go overboard once, forget it and move on and help that…
  • i'm 5'9 an at 170. My goal weight 46lbs ago was 160, but I might shoot for a little lower depending on how it all looks on me :) I'm currently wearing an 11 or a 12-hoping for an 8 or 10. As for love handles-oblique crunches are super effective, but the thing i've found most effective (if you do it consistently) is…
  • I agree with the 30 day shred! i was stuck at a plateau for about 6-8 weeks. I just started doing Jillian's 30 Day Shred on top of my normal workouts and along with some yardwork and beach volleyball i'm down 3lbs in 4 days! I think it's an easy addition to your day-only 22 mins start to finish. The DVD is around $10 at…
  • i use the quick tools under the meal or snack. You click on it and then click on quick add calories and you can just estimate.
  • i've had a goal for a while that I would leave the treadmill until i burned 300 calories. so i'd find myself wimping out once i'd done it, thinking i was exhausted. sometimes it would take me like 45 mins of running and walking to reach the goal. while cleaning my desk the other day, i found an old training schedule to go…
  • lost 1 more pound this week!
  • I'm down 3 lbs for my first week!!!
  • i had the same problem in the beginning, but I tried drinking the water at different times during the day. I get my first 2 cups in before 10am and then the second 2 around lunch, the 3rd 2 in the afternoon and the last 2 at dinner or shortly after (or with my evening workout). now the only time I have trouble is when i…
  • i got these a lot in college playing basketball running on the wood floor. use a step or curb and put your toes on it with your heels and middle part of your foot hanging off of it. use your toes to push down and raise your heels up. this isn't an instant cure, but it strengthens those muscles so that they pain goes away…
  • i have Nike Vapors. There are several that look the same, but you can get them at Target or Best Buy. They are the black ones and are $25. They hook around your ear, but are super adjustable, which i like, because my ears are kind of small, so they fit everyone. There is still a bud like part that fits in your ear, but not…
