I run in Merrell Pace Gloves - they have the the Vibram sole (same as the five finger shoes), but without the crazy look! I love, love, love it. http://www.merrell.com/US/en-US/Product.mvc.aspx/22877W/50398/Womens/Barefoot-Run-Pace-Glove

This sounds fantastic! I'd love to be a part of the group!

This is funny that you just posted this...I was just at the drug store, and I decided to treat myself to a Strawberry Shortcake ice cream bar. I ate half of it on the walk back home, and then put the rest of the wrapper, thinking that I could save half for later. Now, like 5 minutes after I "indulged", my tummy hurts and I…

Thank you all for the great advice! I am eating 1350 calories per day, so (hopefully) no risk of going into that starvation mode! =)

This might be a weird question, but I am worried that I might be losing weight too fast. I was hoping to lose about 1 pound per week. I just started about a week ago, and I have already lost 5 pounds. I'm just worried that maybe I'm not eating enough or that the weight is coming off too quickly and that it's going to come…

I have sugar cravings all the time! I had a huge one today while I was in the grocery store, so I started looking at the calories in various boxes of cookies....3 Oreos for 160 calories!?! And if I bought them I knew I couldn't eat just 3 of them. I wanted them soooo badly, but I just didn't let myself buy them. I try to…

Okay, so maybe its not EXACTLY a dessert.....but it sure is yummy!!! Target makes this Fat Free Strawberry Cheesecake Yogurt (made by the Target Brand "Archer Farms") that is very yummy and tastes almost exactly like cheesecake! It's only 90 calories for the yogurt, which is yummy on its own, but I like to crunch up a…

Hahaha! It was a huge pan of Peach Cobbler that a couple girls made this summer for a party! I totally went off my healthy lifestyle this summer (and gained 15 pounds back, which is why I'm back here!), so I did indulge in it, and it was very yummy! That picture, however, is just me being silly (and perhaps having had a…

I feel like that too! I don't want other people to feel guilty for eating unhealthy foods just because I am trying to become healthier. That is a really good idea, PrincessLaundry!!! I think this would bring the subject up way more comfortably...especially since I don't know them that well and I just started the job this…

I already ate it....it was this afternoon. But thank you for the great ideas for the future! I just felt awkward saying no to a melting ice cream cone that someone had obviously gone out of their way to go purchase and then bring to my boss and I at the theatre! Anyway...I'm going to have to do some major exercising this…

So I just started a new job on Tuesday and this week it was only my boss and I in the office getting ready for rehearsals to start next week (I work at a theatre). I went on a quick errand for her, and when I got back, she told me that her girlfriend was going to be bringing ice cream for us. About 20 minutes later, her…

Okay...first...you are gorgeous!!! You are super cute and so is your baby. Second....we all have rough days. I'm sorry you are feeling down. But remember that you have lots of friends and lots of support on here. We are all behind you in this weight loss journey. We are all going through the same thoughts and feelings you…

Eat some peanut butter! It has tons of calories in it...whenever I need to use up some extra calories, I just eat a spoonfull or two of peanut butter! (Speaking of which....I still have like 400 calories to use up tonight! Where's my pb? Lol)

Don't worry! Tomorrow is a brand new day. Trust me....yesterday was a horrible day for me. I got a virus on my computer so I stressed out and ate gummy bears and a Twix bar for breakfast (I'm not joking...), and then I had to drive four hours one way (so eight hours of driving), through 3 different states, to go get a…

I just did level one for the first time and it kicked my behind! I have a feeling i'll be feeling this tomorrow! Wow, what a great workout!!!

Sorry if this has already been asked...I searched and couldn't find anything! I got Jillian's Shred today, but I am wondering.....is there a workout plan? Like should you do Level 1 a certain number of times before moving on to Level 2? Once you move on to Level 2, do you do BOTH 1 and 2 or just 2? I'm just confused about…

I know that we are all on the run and sometimes it feels like there is no other choice but fast food when we don't have a lot of time, but when I found myself in this situation, I would either stop at the supermarket (which, frankly, takes just as much time as the drive through and you can get pre-packaged sandwiches,…

I started a no-fast-food challenge for myself on September 3rd! Last August, I didn't allow myself to eat any fast food for 30 days, and it was really hard, but I did it, and afterward my fast food cravings went down a lot! Well, a year later, I found myself eating fast food ALL the time, so starting on September 3rd, it's…

Hey everyone!!! So I am not exactly new to the site, but I'm back with a new user name. I used to be kitty1256. I loved this site and everyone on it was so helpful to my weight loss process! I lost over 25 pounds using the site, and I have to say that I didn't use it all summer, and I gained about 15 pounds back! I am back…
