#4 - crazy isn't it? but so true :sad:

wow! i'm reading these responses about tops not fitting and i'm shocked! unless you are planning on getting porn star sized breasts (which i don't think you're doing), tops will fit fine - even better. i got my 1st (yes, i said 1st) surgery when i was 20 years old and a size 34A. i became a 36C and have since had 2…

husband invited me out for lunch today and i declined because i had packed cottage cheese and fruit - it was a nice gesture, i know, but i have to quit worrying about hurting peoples feelings where food is concerned :wink:

I've always said "sweat it out"! it works, really :smile:

me and my sister have a deal that when one doesn't want to workout, we are allowed to motivate w/mean words - for example "get off your fat *kitten* and come run with me!" or "aren't you going on your Florida vacation next month? want to be mistaken for a whale?" it's all in fun, but in the end, it DOES get us up and…

36 here and i feel a lot better and definitely weigh a lot less than when i was in my 20's. if i only knew then what i know now...

100 calories snack bags of quaker oaks rice cakes (apple/cinnamon - yummy) or 1 tbsp of peanut butter right off of the spoon - 90 calories oh yeah - for something less sweet, cottage cheese all the way - 1/2 cup = 80 calories

in my opinion, cardio is therapy. i love long walks, steady jogs and brisk runs. it keeps me sane. i will say that when i added strength training this year, i toned up A LOT!!

1) had a nice, family, movie day - saw Paranorman (took my own bottled water in and only grabbed a handful of popcorn from my kiddos) 2) weather is nice enough to go jog at 6pm instead of 7:30 which makes for an earlier night :) *gotta run>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

try keeping "good" snacks in the house that way when you feel a binge or moment of weakness coming on, your choices aren't so bad. good luck on your journey... by the way, everyone has bad days. i had a couple this week myself. i always feel horrible until i get back on track, but that's just it - i always get back on…

let me begin by saying that i've never been a fan of fish - tuna fish is all i will eat in the "fish" department. so when i found a BONE in my can of tuna, it almost ruined me completely :grumble:

school clothes shopping today with my 12 year old daughter and some of the shirts she picked out fit me!!! not that i would wear teenager clothes but the solid print tees are so sharable - she's been borrowing shirts out of my closet a lot lately too :noway:

Ft.Worth, Texas girl here and I have to deal with the heat and humidity as well. Lucky for me, it doesn't keep me from running later in the day. I started out doing a mile in 20 minutes to a mile in almost 10!!! Major accomplishment for me. The hardest part for me is the breathing. I hear that if you can master the…

35. wish i'd gotten it sooner but watch out!!! :tongue:

kinda sick of people complaining about not being able to eat 1200 calories. really? it's 1200 calories. sorry.

i WAS fat because i had a wicked sweet tooth and i was a lazy slob :grumble:

thats amazing! made my mouth drop open :noway: it used to take me 20 minutes to run/walk a mile and now i'm finally RUNNING it in about 10 minutes. that's something i never thought i'd be able to do. running is an addiction. keep up the good work...

i plan my meals everyday!!! boring, i know, but it keeps me on the right path. if i know what i'm allowed to eat, i don't stray as often. good luck on your journey...

all of my workouts are done from home with the exception of running at the park once a week. i do cardio on my elliptical and recumbant bike and i do strength from my jillian michaels dvd collection. i add in step aerobics once a week and occassionally, i'll throw in some strength with my exercise band dvd. who can afford…

don't know how it will work out for you but when i reached my goal, i switched to maintain, started strength training with less cardio and gained 3 lbs.!!! my clothes actually fit looser but i'm a numbers person so the weight gain really bothers me. i eventually ended up switching back to less calories and i'm still at…

i'm also 5'3" and currently weigh-in at 128. you look FANTASTIC. i can't seem to grasp that maybe that's how i look too :(

1) calories 2) fiber 3) protein 4) fat 5) water 6) exercise

i juiced for about 3 months straight and LOVED it. Things i learned - 1)add lemon juice if you are juicing spinach or kale 2)add benefiber or fiber supplement to juices since you are extracting all of the fiber when you juice 3)don't try to go crazy all at once - i ended up cranky with a massive headache - i started out…

lunatic fringe - totally gets me pumped!!! looking forward to what other people post. i need some more running music...

:huh:

i actually love jogging/running. i'm trying to increase my endurance so i can go farther distances. it feels sooooo good when you are done :happy: by the way, i hate using boobs as an excuse, come on ladies :noway:

make yourself an itinerary (i don't know how to spell that, obviously) and stick with it. when i go on vacations, i live for/by them - to the point where i make my family crazy. if i have to follow a schedule and check things off as i go along, i feel like i've accomplished so much more. for instance - get up and eat a…

i felt that way too in the beginning. recently, i've encouraged my family to get active with me. instead of going to my room and working out by myself, we load up our bikes and go to the park, or we run around the pond. we bought a paddle boat yesterday, so this weekend we're going to the lake to test it out. they don't…
