Paralyzer - five finger death punch ; fighter- christina aguilera; and the odd one out that definitely relaxes me when it's time to clear my mind and just focus on running.. moonlight sonata- beethoven

The flavored oatmeal packets have a lot of unnecessary preservatives and chemicals, I use quakers old fashioned oats, and I'm sure other people vary, but I microwave mine for two minutes, and then add additional yummy stuff :)

I can't pick just one.. cuz all of the flavors contribute :)) cinammon, flax seed, brown sugar, strawberries, blueberries, and walnuts... mmmm.. :D

Hilarious.. I have two tattoo's, and I almost never touch alcohol, and then it's only a couple of sips!

I have two favorite "oatmeal concoctions" :D The first one is quakers old fashioned oats w/ cinnamon, brown sugar, peanut butter, and flax seed (and a little soy milk if I have it around)- and the second one is oatmeal w/ cinnamon, brown sugar, flax seed, walnuts, strawberries, and blueberries :0).. I love oatmeal, and I…

Holy cow, you look awesome! :D

Marijuana should be legalized. DRUGS should not be.

Ah, but you are thinking that I HAVEN'T been touched by crime. If you want the truth, I believe they should be tortured, before being put to death. You never know who that person is going to be.. it can be the neighbor that your kids trust so much, it can be that handsome, articulate man in law school, like Ted Bundy, who…

I believe all rapists, child molestors, and people who kill innocent people should be put to death. I think people who oppose the death penalty are naive. Hopefully you are never touched by violent crime.. and then what? Beg for the perpetrator to be allowed to live? Really?

Every state should not only have the death penalty, but like Ron White says, they should put it in "the express lane".

I think that your photos are beautiful- although I do agree with others when they say don't post pics on the net asking for judgement.. people can be so ignorant and cruel.. they hurt without thinking or caring.. sometimes they hurt just for the fun of it.. you don't need ANYBODY's opinion on YOU.. just your own.. look in…

I am 5'5, 260 lbs (thereabouts), and I wear a size 18 jeans. And.. ODDLY enough, even a couple of 16's, depending on the brand, I guess.. This is why I am more determined than ever that my journey not be about weight, but rather clothes sizes, measurements, etc. .

My boyfriend is average weight, and I've tried getting him to do any of her dvd's with me... so far, it's not happening.. but he has promised to do INSANITY with me, when I'm ready ^_^

LoL- my mom named my little sister after Baby Jessica.

My whole family and I LOVE Dr. Oz. He is down to earth, he uses common sense.. and he doesn't think that we should be feeding money into the pharmaceutical companies "just because".

YES! And people getting decapitated and torn apart and everything else icky under the sun.

I've never been what you might call a "normal" size (yet).. so I wouldn't know if my love life was different than anybody elses.. but I will say that I have always retained flexibility and strength and uhmm.. yup.. that helps keep things in that interesting level where they should be.. also, I have been blessed with a very…

Week # 1 -- Feb 27th -- Goal 250 minutes: Mon: Tue: Wed: Thur: Fri: Sat: Sun: Total / min left: 0 / 250

My boyfriend is 6'1 and weighs about 185.. perfectly average sized (perfectly perfect, in my opinion, but I admit I may be biased ^.^) .. and.. I am nearly 5'5 and weigh currently around 260.. *sigh* I actually have small bones and a small frame naturally, and I can't wait for that day that I'm smaller than him..

You were beautiful as a "bigger" girl and you're beautiful now.. It is absolutely worth it, to have that confidence and keep your health in check.. Congratulations, you're definitely an inspiration.

I also love and adore Jillian Michaels.. she gives you more than a killer workout.. her workouts give me confidence that I can take on things I never knew I could before.

Holy cow, you're a new woman! Congrats!

Congratulations, that's amazing!

Since I also get bored doing the same thing after so many days, I solved this by just bumping around levels.. generally, my most comfortable level is 2, but some days if I'm looking for more of a challenge, I jump up to level 3, and on days where I'm wanting to 'take it easy' I go back to level 1. I love 30 Day Shred, I've…

I love 30 Day Shred, and I think that's the most popular. I just bought her Ripped in 30, and I love that one, too.. and I ordered Shred and Shed last night, so I don't know yet, but I think it will be as amazing as her others. Another one she has that I really enjoy is her Last Chance Workout dvd.. and other than that.. I…

I agree with this.

I've seen people saying on here they count coffee as water.. coffee actually dehydrates you, so you have to drink more water to make up for a few cups of that. Just saying.

I hope I'm doing this right.. I just wanted to add.. after I posted this, I went and did my level.. and got some really close eye contact with my thighs, and I'm thinkin.. Jeez.. do my thighs look.. smaller? I dunno... So I finished up and went and measured myself, and lo and behold, I have lost at least 7 inches from all…

Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred is an AMAZING program. On her dvd, (Which you can find for maybe $10 at Walmart) Jillian has 3 levels of circuit training, ranging from INTENSE, to.. OMG..even though I could collapse right now.. I never knew my body could feel this awesome and strong... Each level has 3 circuits of 3 minutes…

I've personally heard the theory 85% healthy and 15%.. well, maybe you can slide a bit. Because in many cases, 100% healthy every single day is unrealistic sounding. And I like this 85%/15%. Good luck figuring out what works for you, though!
