I had to stop running recently due to illness but have just gotten started again this week. I'm trying to get my 5k time back up and work towards a 10k.... Half marathon when I'm feeling gutsy again. :P

My thoughts exactly! Great work. :)

Girl on Facebook buys a small (SMALL) pizza. Talks about how fat she’ll get. Showered in compliments. Everyone congratulates her seemingly, for the ability to buy/consume a pizza. No one congratulates me when I order a ****ing pizza. -- from Tumblr

These look amazing, thanks for sharing!

I'll hopefully be able to join. I managed to hurt my foot towards the end of this month so I only got to do level 3 once. :( I'll start it again with you all. :) ps; Wii dancing is one of my favorite things. :)

^This! Also, just me being nitpicky maybe - but you're *both* having the baby. You may be carrying it, but it's not like you made it yourself. :P

My nickname "Kat" and last initial [R = "Arr"], but since Katarr [my usual alias] was taken, I became "therealKatarr" ...because clearly the other one is an impostor. :P

I'm on day 14, level 2 (I skipped ahead with level 1 early, but I think I'll be sticking with 2 for a while, squats + raises are killer on my weak arms). Feel free to add me! It's definitely a work out at every level, so I'd be happy to encourage anyone who's getting started or wants to maintain working on the shred. :)

I've been flirting with veganism for a while but I think vegetarian is probably a safer bet. I'm working on moving back, but it's hard on a tight budget. (Yay for college student budgets.) Feel free to add me, any vegetarian/vegan people. I'm always up for swapping recipes (or recipe resources.)

I'm sending you a friend request or whatever they're called on here. It sounds like we're in a similar boat. This is my second round on My Fitness Pal also. (I got weak around the holidays, myself.)

I don't have any remarkable advice that's different. Usually I just drink looots of water and if I can try to get physically active since that usually functions as an appetite suppressant for me.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've been looking for some strength training at home options, as well. Also, great progress guys! Hopefully more photos roll in.

I'm 22 and was diagnosed with it when I was 20 (it'll be 2 years next month since I had the surgery to take my left ovary... and three cysts the size of tennis balls. Yikes!). I'm still capable of having kids, but since I'm only 22 and in college I have no interest in doing that right now! It's funny that you should post…

I'm a huge fan of chai, as well.

I'm on the tail end of my loss (about 4 lbs to go), but if you want to add me feel free to send a request my way. :) Motivation/encouragement is always appreciated and frequently issued.

I do this! I definitely suggest going the breakfast or granola bar route.

My tentative goal is to lose my last 4 by Christmas, but if I can get it by the end of January I won't be too heart broken, haha. Then I'll be maintaining and toning. Here's to hoping I can make it in spite of all the Christmas goodies that will be heading my way, soon.

Wow. That is bizarre. What would make someone think that passing judgment on someone else at random/unsolicited is okay? Hopefully they'll leave you alone. (and anyone else they stumble across that they don't approve of.)

This! Especially the Fratelli's Costello Music suggestion. That album is my work out jam!

That is so great! congratulations! :)

Greek Yogurt is a favorite, with nuts coming in at a close second for me. Good luck.

Always looking for friends/support. I'll be shooting an add your way. :)

I think it's really important for you to not only to take the step back, but to realize that the step back was necessary. I think anything is possible as long as you're staying mindful of what you're doing and why, and wish you luck. :)

Both of these are so true. Moderation is key, and being aware of what you're consuming makes it way easier to ensure that you are practicing that moderation. ...Although it's hard to be moderated with people mentioning/describing all sorts of delicious things that I know are terrible for me. :P

Is he actively trying to lose weight himself (...claiming to, at least), or is he just being judgmental for no reason to people that don't drink diet soda?

I didn't remember it happening, so sorry for the mis-recollection. Someone mentioned it above and in my head the logic flowed with my explanation. oh well, I tried.

Maybe it depends on what they think their name is..? Like, if they identify with the new witness protection name then it would take. Example: I'm born Jane Doe, but when I go into witness protection I become Edna Mode. If I still consider myself Jane Doe, who is going by Edna, then Jane Doe would be the name that would…

Great job! Good luck with the 8k. :D

Good luck! I know a few people in similar situations so I know what you're going through. It can be hard to avoid getting back into that cycle, so I would suggest finding some people to support you along the way. My only advice would be to use the automated goal setting on here and try to make sure that you don't have…

8 or 8 1/2 for athletic/running shoes or 7 1/2 for heels/flats. I don't really know why my feet aren't consistent, they just aren't.
