  • I have gone through this with the exercise bit. I had joined a gym and was so self conscious to go. But I went.. and you know what? Most of the time I did, I ended up working out next to someone BIGGER than me! And if I ended up working out next to someone smaller than me, I tried to find a way to motivate myself by it. Ya…
  • Yes, it can be VERY frustrating when you don't see the pounds come off when you KNOW you are doing the all of the "right" things. Just stick with it though. Play around with your intake. Don't eat your exercise calories back.. eat your exercise calories back.. find what works for YOUR body. We're all very different. I find…
  • I have a 6yr old and I joined a gym that offers childcare (they provide up to 2 hours per day). He loves it. He is able to go play racquetball, go swimming, run through an obstacle course for kids, go on a rock climbing wall, build with legos, etc... So he has the opportunity to be active while I am exercising.He is…
  • I have the zumba game for my PS3 and I love it. I log it as aerobics high impact since it gives me much more of a workout than the aerobics DVDs that I have. I just got the Fit In Six game yesterday (on clearance for $13.98 at Target - woohoo!!) And I was pleasantly surprised at the workout I got. But I'm not sure how to…
  • Its hard for me to check in on the forums without a computer (all browsing and posting is done through my phone which gets tedious at times). Hope everyone is having a great day. The weekend is fast approaching. Do you guys have any fun plans? Ill be at a company picnic. As if I don't deal with my coworkers enough...... lol
  • I would like to join. I think. My diagnosis? There are lots. I have a very hard time opening up but will try. I previously sought treatment but I've not had insurance for many years so I had to stop. Trying to lose weight but its hard. There are days I don't even want to get out of bed... let alone hop around my living…
  • As I said, I'm not coordinated at all. LOL so I'm sure I do a lot of the moves wrong. I do a 20 minute beginner session along with a one hour Richard Simmons DVD when I do use my ps3. I find I typically sweat more doing the zumba. :) might be from over exerting by trying too hard to do the moves. Haha! You can look up the…
  • I like the zumba game. I'm not coordinated at all so zumba is difficult for me anyway. But it seems like no matter what I do, I can't get the instructor green! (Turns yellow if you *almost* get the move and turns red when you get it) I can pretty much get her to stay yellow but then the problem with that is sometimes the…
  • Wow. I was gonna say Krispy Kreme donuts.
  • A girl I work with... she used to do weight watchers. She did it for a few weeks and stopped because she liked eating what she wanted.when I joined MFP and started losing weight, she asked me one day what I was doing. I explained I was working out at home, counting calories, and making healthy choices when it came to food.…
  • I have a somewhat funny on my day 1 experience. I turned completely white and collapsed. I was pouring sweat and thought I was dying. Turns out.... I had a horrible stomach bug Guess my body was trying to fight that off and trying to do the 30ds on top of it was too much. I made it 8 minutes into level 1. The worst part…
  • Personally, I am keeping all of my clothes that are too big. I just have them shoved away. Some have great memories attached to them. So far, I've been able to go new clothes shopping twice and I will never forget how amazing I felt when I slipped into my first non plus size top and it fit beautifully. Once I reach my goal…
  • Single. In my past dating life, I've found I have a 2 year limit. I find around 1 1/2 years everything irritates me about my boyfriend. The way they eat, breathe, talk, etc.... I then spend the next 6 months making them realize they don't want to be with me. They then break it off, I'm relieved because it ended without me…
  • Why do people keep saying this drink doesn't have artificial sweeteners? I checked them out at my supermarket and they do. Are there different versions of this drink??? Edit to add : http://www.mariakathryn.net/Blog/50 http://www.reviewstream.com/reviews/?p=152534…
  • TheOddOne .... because I am.
  • MGMT .... everything they do is amazing. Their music makes me happy... puts me in a trance sometimes... makes me think... makes me stop thinking... :)
  • how much did it say you'd weigh in 5 weeks??? Haha.. it probably just said you could expect to have a heart attack in 5 weeks. :p
  • On rare ocassions thar I grab a salad to go... I opt for the Berry almond chicken salad with the pomegranate vinegarrete (spelling?)from Wendy's . I get the half size and have nothing else with it. LOL
  • They say to stay at or above 1200. :) you can search the forum and you'll find a lot of posts on this with a ton of information. that was one thing I noticed when I started - I was eating ALL the time and still under the calories they started me with. LOL as you lose weight, it'll adjust your daily calories.
  • I opt for the low cal laughing cow cheeses. So delicious!!!
  • Drat. Already mentioned.... I was gonna recommend the evil dead series. This gives me a good idea for my own Halloween event as I have all the movies and video games. Marathon! I have a set called "dark tales of Japan" it reminds me of like a tales from the dark side kinda thing except waaaaay creepier and with subtitles.…
  • I declare you winner of this thread.
  • Who doesn't? I'm the blue one. (The odd one out. See what I did there?) Oh. Um. I guess that makes me a dinosaur monkey. I'll resist the urge to create a duplicate title thread with "I'm a dinomonkey" as the first post.
  • This. This gave me such an epic visual. And glad I could provide a giggle! We need it sometimes!!!
  • Furniture shopping at rooms 2 go with an ex.... the sales woman said she didn't believe the furniture we were looking at was large enough for us. **let me add that once that ended and I got my own place... I bought an awesome living room set from badcock's home furnishings. :)
  • And apparently ... adding a reply with quotes is proving too difficult on my phone. Lol
  • Love this! I just bought some shrimp and was wondering what to do with it. :).I have all the other ingredients too! I am loving that I eat way more of a variety of things sincee converting to a healthy lifestyle!" I made under 100-calorie chocolate cupcakes today!!!!…
  • This is such a touchy subject and I've been so confused reading the forum on this one. So.... I'm doing my own experiment. Last week, I stayed within my calorie limit daily and exercised without eating my exercise calories. I noted how I felt and my scale results. This week, I'm only doing the calorie ciunting- no…
  • I love the wishbone 1 calorie per spray bottles My favorite is the Italian vinegarette. It gives it just enough flavor without soaking it. I usually do about 15-20 sprays per 2 cups of salad. Although last time I had salad... I added fresh mushrooms, feta cheese and oil/red wine vinegar.
