  • It wasn't until today that I realized how bad carbs are for Fibromyalgia. I am in soooo much pain today, it's unreal. That being said, I try to exercise at least every other day unless I have some crazy soreness that I can't just push through. I am usually walking/jogging or I jump on the elliptical for 30 minutes. Nothing…
  • This is awesome and sooo inspiring for me! I've been working on the C25K program also. I just finished Week 3 Day 3 and I feel like I should do at least one more day of it. I don't know if I'm ready for Week 4. The simple man talking saying "RUN" is motivation but I always get mad because I'm not ready. LOL! I have a 4.2…
  • OMG! That's hilarious! I know where you're coming from. My cousin made the comment the other day that she thought about trying cocaine so she could get skinny. It was a serious JOKE! But funny...lol! Congrats on your NSV!

  • I personally do not use artificial sweeteners or add sugar to my drinks at all. I feel like the artificial sweeteners increase the pain my joints (I have fibromyalgia) and such. I was eating it several times a day and it took days before it seemed like it got it out of my system. Since then, the pain isn't nearly as bad. I…
  • So is this the new thread? I responded to the first one. Anyways, mine is 196.4! Closer and closer to my mini goal! Good luck this week, girls!
  • Sounds delicious! I'm no baker, but I'll have to try them! Thanks!
  • Wow, that just sounds disgusting! I'm sooooo glad I'm not a huge deli meat eater! Thanks for the information. I'm sure a lot of people did not know that.

  • I was diagnosed with PCOS in 2005, I think. I gained like 70-80 FAST! After that I kinda said, whats the point in trying to lose when it's not going to come off anyway. I'm down 42 lbs after about a year and a half of on and off dieting. I finally decided about 3 weeks ago, again, that I was going to finish this time. I…

  • I'm in! Goal weight for August is 165 on my parent's birthdays!
  • CONGRATS! Big difference! Keep up the great work! 185 is my goal weight for May 17th...my birthday! *crosses fingers*
  • Thanks for the vote of confidence! I will definitely work on covering ground. I always lose track of how many times I've run around the track, so I can count my miles. I'll have to figure out a method!
  • Hair issues suck! I started taking Beyaz. Doc said that any of the Yaz products were always going to be best for acne problems and it has helped tremendously. Thank GOD! Those are probably the worst things I struggle with, hair and acne. Sucks :-(
  • I too have PCOS. For a long time I used it as an excuse for being overweight (I gained about 70 lbs in a year), so I continued to eat all the bad carbs and not really take care of myself. I recently started to transform my lifestyle again and have cut out all the white bread, white rice and only eat whole grain. I did take…
  • The past two days have been beautiful here in South Texas. And the fact that my pants fit me loose today! WooHOO!
  • I have always made pork chops by just seasoning them with fajita seasoning or a steak seasoning. You can cook them on a pan with no extra oil because they have just enough. Cover them to cook them thoroughly. Also, I really like the pampered chef products. They have some stoneware that is just awesome. Throw them on there…
  • I too just signed up for a race, Beach to Bay in Corpus Christi, TX. Each leg is about 4.2 miles and I just started the C25K yesterday. I wasn't expecting to sign up but two people said they were looking for more teammates. I'm excited and nervous. I know the C25K will definitely help in the training process but wondering…
