I was bullied relentlessly in middle school. Mostly for my teeth, which are pretty crooked. But I was called ugly also... it was a very awkward and sad time. High school was no better, as I got myself into an abusive relationship. its been almost 10 years and my self esteem is still affected by how he treated me. Even…

bump... I am interested in this info as well.

I am 5'4 and 130 lbs. it just depends on the brand. I have to wear an 8 because I have wide hips and most 6's are waaay too tight around the hip/leg area. So i'll wear an 8 with a belt.

I love Mila Kunis, but my body will never look like hers. LOL. shes very petite and I just dont have the build to be petite. I think Jennifer Love Hewitt is more of a reasonable body inspiration (though I dont have as much boob as she does). So lets say this... Mila Kuni's upper body, and Jennifer Love Hewitt's lower body.…

peanut butter and apples. :)

maybe because you are gaining more muscle? and also if you are doing all this training but not eating the amount that you should be eating you will gain weight because your body is holding onto everything it can to nourish itself and these new muscles you are building. I am in the same spot though. not looking to lose…

i'll eat an apple, or even better, lots of broccoli. :)

nvm... TOTALLY forgot about the "Strength Training" section. lol. guess i'll just find a way to log it there. I am still not seeing anything similar to log it as, though.

right, I explained that in my post. I know they are insignificant calorie wise, but I would like to log them anyway as a means of keeping track of what days/how long I have done them.

Add me if you'd like. I have gone through 30DS once before last summer (the whole program in about 40 days due to vacation). I am just now beginning it again since its too cold for me to run and I dont have many other options as far as exercise goes. Jillian is annoying and the repetition gets to me, so what I will do is…

I do it whenever I get the chance. I am a stay at home mom with two kids who is NOT a morning person. lol. so its usually at night after they go to bed, or in the afternoon while my youngest is napping and my oldest is at school.

Baked goods. brownies, cookies, cakes, pies. OH and pasta. me and macaroni and cheese were made for each other. mashed potatoes love me too. especially when they have gobs of butter and sour cream.

I always run against traffic. i've had people come within 3 feet of my body and lay on their horn as they are passing. Whatever. If they want to live a negative life, thats their problem.

interested to hear some responses. hopefully I can add mine here in a couple weeks. I am beginning week 7. :smile:

"My Body" by Young the Giant. inspires me so much that I put it in my signature. :wink:

so many quick suggestions! thank you everyone. I am probably going to try a little of everything. hopefully there will be a break in the rain this afternoon so I can get out there for at least a little while. running is just something special to me... there is no exercise like it. its an invigorating experience and I miss…

no stairs. :frown: we've got a tiny little 3 bedroom house. not much room to do anything. lol.

I use sea salt a lot. :smile:

Beginning Week 7. its amazing to see how far I have come when I used to be on the brink of death attempting to run 30 seconds. :wink: It's a great program. I am so glad I found it! Hopefully will be running my first 5K this october.

I think a lot of the time it is hard for people to imagine a second 10, 20, 30 lb loss and sometimes their image of what it may look like is clouded. It is hard to imagine where the weight loss will make the most affect on your body. For instance, all of my 11 lbs have been lost in my boobs and waist. I still have a big…

I usually delete if they havnt been on in months. I have friends that I know personally (like my husband and a few other people extremely close to me) who havnt logged in in quite a while, but I wont delete them because of my connection to them. It also makes a big difference if they were never involved to begin with. I am…

Definitely run. I have about the same amount of time each day to exercise, and have tried jump rope, 30 Day Shred, and running as my main source of exercise. I can say without a doubt that the running is what changed my body the most, and burned a good amount of calories. Its also very stress-relieving. Try a program like…

For me, i was about 3 lbs away from entering the "Overweight" category on the scale and that was what made me get my butt in gear. I am at 22.6 right now (according to MFP's BMI chart) and would like to be right in the middle of the "Healthy" range, right around 22.0. Sooo... i'm almost there. just need to lose about 4…

have you seen a doctor? are you depressed?

We get DeLite pizzas from Papa Murphys, or we go to Little Caesars. (I get cheese there.) NOM!

Level 1 hurt my knees as well. turned out it was because of the shoes I was wearing. Let them heal, check your shoes, and get back with it if you can. It is tough, but so worth it in the end.

Yes! this exactly. The kids know they have to stay in their rooms and play nice. and they usually do. mine are 3 and 6.

which was alright, but I was craving cake.

ROFL!!! that was an unfortunate post. I posted when it was still "and all of a sudden".

I ate it.
