I quit smoking first. It sure does make exercising easier. I used the nicoteen gum. It help me alot. I still want a cig most days though and I've been smoke free for 14 months and gum free for 11 months.

I eat clementines, small apples and strawberries when I can afford them.

Up your calories by eating back your exercise calories (at least some of them). This should spike your metabolism.

Honestly I tried morning workouts to help alleviate mommy guilt. Didn't work out. My intesity wasn't the same and I think it caused me to fall off the wagon with food (I tend to binge at night and working out alleviates that craving). I play the wii dance with my kids at night for a workout, when they get bored or tired I…

Bridesmaids buy there own dresses and shoes.

Someone asked for recommendations for books. My favorite lately have been 1000 White Women, Room, The Frankenstein series by Dean Koontz and any thing written by Philippa Gregory.

The Hour I First Believed by Wally Lamb...depressing and long. I'm almost done, thank goodness.

Its your concience kicking your butt. I feel way bigger after a couple days off the wagon. You'll feel back to normal after flushing with alot of water and getting a great workout in. I say don't beat yourself up but thats what keeps us going.

Jillian Michaels. I'll need the bulk to keep the weight off.

I got mine at WalMart. I think they are made by Hanes or something like that. I love them.

Shy, loner. Still am. Would rather be reading a book than talking to anyone except my kids.

Definately go for the Biggest Loser CD's. More real people, but still a great workout. Richard Simmons is just hard for me to deal with.

Pizza. I eat the toppings first and put the sprinkle parmesan chees just on the crust under the toppings. I dunno why, just always have. I also feel a sandwich tastes better cut diagonally. Oh and condoments like ketchup, mayo or mustard should touch bread and cheese, not the meat. And I don't eat meat off the bone. Too…

Same issue, I live in an apartment on the middle floor. My go to workout is the wii dance. I try to step and jump softly bending my knees, but noise is bound to happen. What I do is I have the wii in my kids bedroom and I do it only during not sleeping times with the thought process of "most apartment people are in the…

I put a towel over the time and miles so I don't have to watch the time click by and I rent books on cd from the library and listen to them while walking.

I think that is so amazing. What a great feeling that is. I remember when I ran my first mile, it was the best feeling I've ever had. I can't do it right now, but hope to get back there soon.

I used the gum (plain label nicorette). stuck in my lip like chew. I still want a cigarette most days, but I've been smoke free for over 13 months. Only took me one box (90 pieces) of gum.

YES! Some fruits are pretty high. Bananas and grapes. But all have a good amount of cals and sugar. I definately log.

i fell asleep one on the mat while using the ab curler thing. worst part was it was my boss, who was also a memeber, who kicked me awake.

you can add me. I could use the support too. :smile:

10 pounds is the goal.

you can add me if you like.

This is soooooo motivating to me. You were at my start weight. Currently I am only 7 pounds down, but wow you look great for being only half way there. I'm so excited.

My goal was to stop binge eating, exercise 5 times a week and to log my food on MFP. I started on January 12th. I have had only one binge since starting this, yesterday. Much improved. I have gotten some form of exercise in 5 or more days per week. I have logged ALL of my food, even my binge on MFP. Results are that I have…

2001 Toyota Corola - Hawaii...because its where I'd rather be.

I look at those extra calories you earn as "optional". I don't believe you have to eat them back, but if you are having a hungry day they are there for you. I usually eat back some of mine. Listen to your body and it will tell you if it needs the extra energy or not.

1 Woke up with my 4 year old snuggling me. She snuck in during the night 2 Got a morning workout in 3 Got out the door on time this morning

I have no idea. sorry.
