Oh, and I forgot to share my compliment story from last night. My husband & I went out to dinner and our waitress had an interesting necklace, made of rings (the kind you wear on your fingers). I told her I thought it was lovely and asked her if there was an interesting story behind it, which (of course) there was. The…

Great challenge! I am committed to doing all 75 this week! Will start tonight after dinner! Thanks, Jenn!

Looking forward to this week's challenge - ready to kick some butt this week and get my progress jump started again!

Sigh. Vacation and lots of restaurant eating took its toll on me this week. CW = 256 (up 2 pounds) But I'm not beating myself up about it. I"ll just jump back into the program tomorrow and will feel awesome to be living the healthy life again. Will lose those 2 pounds and start back on my way to losing the rest and this…

Congratulations on your super achievement! You look awesome and I know it's got to feel amazing to have beaten your health problems. My husband's has a lot of the same issues you had and has already knocked his A1C down from 8.0 to 7.0, so I will share your pictures & story with him for inspiration. Thanks for sharing!…

Just got back from my second mini-vacation, where my diet was pretty bad...but I got LOTS of exercise (walking on the beach, swimming, golfing, etc.) and because I'm on vacation, I've been handling the sleep challenge really well. Gotta catch up on the crunches now! Great challenges again, Jenn!

CW - 254 - no change No change...but not disappointed in that, since I've just gotten home from a super fun and very busy (but not at all nutritious) weekend in New York City. Guess all that walking helped to cancel out the pizza, huh? :) And I echo the others, Jenn...whatever works for you is fine with me!

1 cup of frozen fruit (Target makes a frozen tropical mix of bananas, pineapples, mangos and peaches) 1 cup of V-Fusion Light juice (Acai Mixed Berry or Concord Grape Raspberry are my faves) Absolutely delicious and couldn't be easier. If I'm having one after a workout, I throw a scoop of soy protein powder in the blender…

Love the $5 challenge! And am looking forward to jumping rope - used to love it when I was a kid! Have a great week, everyone!

One of my co-workers asked me what I was doing to have such "massive" weight loss, which made me feel awesome. She was the first outside of my family & friends (who know I'm working at it) to say anything. But the biggest person to care has been my husband, and my biggest reward is that he's jumped on the bandwagon with…

CW: 254 Down another pound! I did one set of burpees and my knee threw a complete hissy fit. So I opted to challenge myself in other ways during the week. Can't wait to see what this week's challenge is!
-
Wow, you look amazing!! And your story is super inspirational to me because it started the same way - something just snapped in me back in April and I started on this wonderful journey. When I look at your after picture and try to imagine what I will look and feel like when I reach 100 lbs lost, it just fills me with so…
-
Hope you feel better soon, Jenn! Burpees have always made me nervous, because I have a knee that likes to sometimes misbehave itself....but I'm going to give them a try this evening. I should be able to do the beginner ones, especially just 10 a day. I'll try to work up to regular ones by the end of the week and REALLY…

Happy Friday, everyone! When we started this week, I knew the water wasn't going to be an issue for me (because I'm already drinking around 72-88 oz per day) but I thought the fruits & veggies would be a challenge, because five months ago, I was hard-pressed to eat ONE serving per day. (Let's be honest...sometimes it…
-
Awesome! I'll start planning those requirements into my daily routine for this week. Already well on my way to the water challenge!

I've been considering jumping in on a challenge and since I love Christmas, this one seems to be right up my alley, so I'm in! So...hiya, I'm Chris! I'm a good bit older than most of you (so far) at 47, but since jumping on the fitness train back in April, have found so much new energy that I feel WAY younger than that! My…

Ooh...I have some dip mixes I used to mix with sour cream and I was just wondering the other day how to make them healthier. Thanks for the tip!!

Your pictures are so inspiring! Congrats on the achievement and thanks for sharing to motivate the rest of us! Best wishes for continued health & success!

There's a blue plus sign next to your friend's status on the news feed on the app's home page and if you push the plus sign, you get a text screen that lets you comment on their status. At least, that's how it works on my phone... But I just noticed you're using a Droid and I have an iPhone, so maybe the app's different…
