Am I the only one that just stocked up on Girl Scout cookies? Actually, I only bought a couple of boxes, but my hubby bought like five boxes! He's not a cookie fan, but he's a sucker for kids selling stuff. At any rate, my win today was limiting myself to three Trefoils this afternoon instead of a whole sleeve. Definitely…

I'll add you! I was a tight 10 in October, now down to an 8 and hoping to lose just a little more to be a solid 6.

Wow! I just came to this forum to see if there was anyone else doing barre, and here it is! Great minds :smile: I'm obsessed with Pure Barre! It's such a great full-body workout and so much more challenging than it looks. I go to barre about six days per week and also run. It has really helped me feel stronger in my runs,…

I'm 5'10" and my stated goal is 160, but it really is more a matter of body composition than weight. Right now I'm probably 167, if I had to guess (not weighing until Monday so my body can lose that holiday bloat!) Based on your comment that you still felt fat at 161, it sounds like body composition is probably a better…

I also like a nice protein bar to satisfy my sweet/chocolate cravings (there are some that are pretty dang tasty!) Since they can be pretty high in calories, I usually eat them after a hard workout. That way the extra calories don't throw me off for the day, and the protein is good for muscle recovery.
-
Great post! In my head I know all of this, but seeing a bigger number on the scale is still painful, that's why I'm staying off of it for a few days!
-
Barre classes 5 or 6 days a week- really helping me build a stronger core and glutes, also forces me to stretch (I get really lazy about stretching after runs!)

If there was a "like" button, I'd like your post because I was just thinking the same thing today! So many great NSVs!

Ate a sandwich that I've been dreaming about for weeks (and chips!) for lunch, and I put both of them in my log! This is a big deal because I typically stop logging for the day if I eat something "bad", like if it doesn't go in MFP, it didn't happen. I enjoyed every delicious calorie, and I had a good workout this morning,…

Count me in! I started running about four years ago at age 31. Since then, I've run several half marathons (plus lots of shorter distances) and two full marathons. For 2016, I'm planning a spring marathon and a trail 50k in the fall, so we can motivate each other! Adding you!

I'd like to join, please!

Adding you! My son is six, but I fully understand how easy it is to get so caught up in the little ones and lose sight of taking care of you. Just think of this as a great opportunity to model a healthy lifestyle for her from the start! You can do this!
-
Same here. Getting back to it sucks, but it's nice to know I'm not alone! Good luck!
-
I took last week off from logging and ate everything, and it was delicious! I also took the week off from the scale, but plan to step back on it this Friday. If I got on it today after all of the sweet treats and wine, I would probably feel pretty sad. Definitely got the Christmas bloat going on, but I did run about 20…

I'm a working mom (and I spend about three hours a day commuting- yuck!) During the week I wake up at 4:00 to get my workout done in the morning before work, and on the weekends I try to have my workout done before 9:00. It's tough, but this is the only way that I feel like I can get a good workout in without sacrificing…

I share my diary and will be glad to add you!

I'd like to join! I'm 35 years old, 5'10" and 167. 20 pounds may be a little ambitious for me (I haven't been under 155 since I was 18, and that was pretty dang skinny at my height), but I could use the motivation! A little about me- my husband and I have been married for nine years and are parents to a sweet six-year-old…

Wow! It's awesome that you have been able to take a step back and look at yourself and your lifestyle so honestly, and are now making positive changes. I love that you looked at your credit card statements (and it terrifies me to even think about what mine would look like if I did the same thing!) You know that some days…

I'm pretty happy and do my best to be motivational! I'll add you!

Outstanding! It's amazing the difference nearly one year of hard work and steadfast commitment can make! Such an inspiring story and you look fantastic. Congratulations!!!

That's great! Keep it up and I'm sure you'll reach your goal weight!

I was right where you are when I started- disgusted with myself, but just couldn't seem to get started. On the morning I noticed my belly jiggling as I walked to the shower, I decided to go to Quick Weight Loss Center. Laying out all that cash was painful (although it really does motivate me!), but having someone to hold…

This is exactly how I feel whenever I see someone running! I've been running for almost four years, and when I started I felt like I was doing it all wrong, or looked stupid, etc., but I've found that runners are so welcoming and encouraging. No matter how far or how fast you run, you are a bada$$ because you're doing it!
-
Yesssss! This was me exactly! About 6 weeks ago I caught a glimpse of myself walking to the shower and noticed my belly was jiggling. I felt so gross! This has been a hectic year with a move and a new job, but mostly I've just been lazy about exercising and have indulged in too much wine and pizza. Since that day, I've…

OP- how did your W30 go? I'm on day 6 and this is the first day that the cravings have been bad. I'm about ready to come unglued!
