LOVE LOVE LOVE my Fitbit!!! Yes it was a bit expensive, but totally worth it. I am a teacher, so it is great to see how I am able to incorporate being active into my job. Plus it pushes me to take more steps and go just a bit farther or go up just one more flight of stairs!

I have seen advertisements for a Gold Bond product. I don't know the exact name, but it looks like a deodorant container. You rub it on and it is supposed to help specifically with that. I was starting running as exercise and used to have the same problem. I have been sidelined with foot surgery, but when I get the all…

So totally BUMP

I take Women's Ultra Mega Energy and Metabolism from GNC. Only taken it a few days now, but wow I can already tell the difference!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Hip Hop Abs. It is high energy, easy on the knees, and fun.

You need to see a foot doctor. I starting working out and developed foot pain, which I ignored. When the pain became too much and walking was difficult, I went only to be diagnosed with Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome (like Carpal Tunnel, but in feet and ankles), plantar fascitis, and heel spurs. I went through months of different…

I have mine as lightly active. I teach 6th grade and am constantly on the go. Granted, some days are less active than others, but I wear a fitbit to log my walking calories burned. I also have a pretty big school, so going from place to place is quite the walk, and I have outside recess duty every other day.

About a month and a half ago, I was diagnosed with Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome (essentially Carpal Tunnel in both fee/ankles). I am in the same boat...no running, treadmills...only slow walking or a bike (which I don't have). I have started more situp type workouts and am more closely watching my calories. I have managed to…

I eat PB2. It is only 45 calories for 2 tablespoons and that is just enough for a sandwich or a craving!!! From what I have heard, it can be hard to find, but I always get mine at Dierberg's or Schnucks. I have tried both chocolate and original, both are really good!

Congrats! Good for you!!!! I did the same thing myself starting a month ago. I'm sure I wasn't anything to look at, but I felt so free and liberated!!! Unfortunately though, I was just diagnosed with Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome, so that means even walking as exercise is out for now, but I will hopefully be back there soon!

How long did that amazing work take you?

I made this tonight...it looks BEAUTIFUL!!! I added a bit of fresh lime zest to the top for extra pop and decoration!

I enjoy a good beer now and again and I have found that Bud Select 55 is NICE! Yes, it does have a lighter taste to it, but when counting calories, it does good!

Popcorn is good, or if your a sweets person like me, I enjoy Skinny Cow or Weight Watchers ice cream novelties. I had the Skinny Cow Chocolate Truffle Bar last night, and it's pretty big and only 100 calories!!!

I haven't tried them, yet but a friend of mine said that putting them in the microwave for like 15-20 seconds REALLY helped!

LOL LOL LOL I wish it was a part of my every activity!!!

I found a calorie burn website, but there isn't a way to plug in exercise without giving it a name. Glad to see others have had the same thoughts though!! LOL LOL LOL

I have the same problem. I drink 1% milk, which has like 11 sugars in 1 cup. I tend to ignore the number when I know it's "healthy" sugars, i.e. milk, or fruit. I know it's probably not what some people would agree with, but in my opinion, the sugar from a doughnut and the sugar from a cup of watermelon are completely…

I was going to buy her books, when I discovered she has a ton of her recipes on the website. I have many MANY things!!! Apple pie-lets, iced coffee, egg mugs, cookies...SO YUMMY!!!!! Even my boyfriend likes some of her recipes!!!

BUMP

So, my only soda slip up was Monday!!! I have been doing pretty good with my water. I try to reach for it anytime I'm thirsty, but I pee ALL THE TIME!!!! At this point, I go back to work in a little over a week, and I'm gonna have to cut back. When you teach, you can't just up and pee every 45 minutes LOL LOL LOL I am…

At weigh-in this morning, I am 306. I already have broken one of my goals though...I was REALLY thirsty at the grocery store and all they had were flavored waters at the checkout (which make me nauseous) so I went for a Pepsi Max...crap...first day of the challenge and I already failed!!! LOL Water or non sweet tea only…

Morning! Bridget from St. Louis, MO here. I am girlfriend, mom, and teacher. I have been on MFP for about a month and have lost 6 pounds so far! I want to be more fit for many reasons. My best friend's wedding is in the spring and I'm determined to look good in my dress...I want to have more energy for my family...I want…

My 20 pound goal reward is brand new makeup. I am going to get the works: eyeshadow, mascara, eye liner, lipstick, etc. I have avoided makeup because I didn't want people to notice me, but once I hit that 20, that will be a HUGE success for me and I want to celebrate it with the world!!!

BUMP

I say we give our group a name, so that way we know what topics are ours...then I like the idea of mini challenges...a way to push ourselves everyday. I know I struggle with sugar intake, so maybe we do one where we stay under our sugar intake, or we do 20 situps. I'd say walk, but right now, it has been over 100 degrees…

Bump Bump Bump!!!!!!!!!
