I'm like most other people - I use an average or wherever I have been steadiest at for the week. So if I range between 4 lbs but was steady for a few days at a 3 lb loss than that's what I'll consider my weight to be until I even out again a new weight... but that works for me since I tend to have a drop then a 1-2 week…

thanks everyone :) I'll certainly check some of these things out. I wasn't putting off my start until Jan 1, just happened to be when I was finally getting healthy enough to get going again - guess I didn't word it just quite right... a few years back when I was so successful my restart button was actually in november so…

yessssss i had my first fitbit challenge the other week - i was second and didn't do nearly as well as i should have but it was great accountability! - https://www.fitbit.com/user/2SRV4C - I'm 29 work a desk job and need to get moving!

meeeee too! just sent you an add!

I was actually dreading starting at the new year! Just kept putting it off and putting it off and now its Dec 29 ugh. I plan to stop by my gym today after work and get in a quick session I just am such a planner that I know in the past I've thrived off of having a set plan in place... And someone was holding me to it but…

29, not married, no children and i'm ok with that... more so now than I ever have been actually... what happens will happen but i've come to find that my life is not defined by the other people in it whether thats a spouse or children or whatever... many of my friends are also not married and don't have children... i'm…

thanks everyone. I've got a treadmill indoors but no central AC and the basement still gets pretty warm so I try to only do that when I have to and even then I do intervals. I'm glad to know this is a commons situation! I have a few running friends that seem to love running in the heat - I often look at them like they have…

where can I get one of these body scans!? And you know that I look up to you a ton when I'm struggling with this journey... It is through role models like you and others that I pick myself back up after I fall and get back on track... thank you for sharing :) ps how was foam fest - the mud run was a bit of a mess though…

just 140lb great dane.... she counts sometimes... no husband/bf/hook up either... hmmm might sound boring but i'm honestly not really complaining...

my why is simply because I know I can... because I know that I control every choice I make and every step I take and I want to be able to own more successes than failures.... and I want to know what it feels like to be healthy again... to have the power over my life that was lost for a while... it may not be tangible to…

amazing job!!!! and GO BUCCOS!!!! feel free to come to a game in pittsburgh at pnc park any time and take a run around the city - it's pretty awesome :)... but yeah def great job! you look fantastic!

why are you avoiding bananas and avocados? Avocados are a healthy fat - you can't cut all fats out of your diet. Have you tried looking at your macros and trying to meet a certain protein, carb and fat balance? This helps me when I pick my snacks out on whether I'm going to go for a hard boiled egg, half a sandwich or…

I have chocolate chips or dark chocolate m&ms at night after dinner as long as I have room in my allowance which I try to factor in throughout the day and if I don't have room then I do a quick 100 calorie burn circuit so I feel like I earned them. i also get my "sweets" through fruit and yogurt etc during lunch hours or…

pretty sure all of us feel like this - I made some great changes only to complete backslide during winter... but now i've really started to focus on the great feeling that control over what i'm doing with my body gives me... Often I ate because I felt out of control, or I went out with friends and drank and snacked and…

savoring the last year of my 20's! feel free to add me!

I make overnight oats - but I'm not sure if they work as well if you use something other than quick oats... my go to is: 1/3 cup of oats 1/3 cup vanilla almond or soy milkl 1/3 vanilla fat free greek yogurt 1 tbs nut butter of choice (been chocolate dreams pb co lately) 1 tbs mini chocolate chips 1/2 banana sliced I mix it…

as you can see I share this belief as it is my profile pic! haha... I am thrilled when I get under a 12 min mile... I know i'll never be a speed demon but slow and steady and knowing that I've done the best I can do is what matters... just gotta keep repeating that mantra...

I am not a treadmill fan but like many of those who have posted, little things can help be a distraction. I usually pick a tv show from netflix (45min with no commercials) and committ to watching the whole episode. Then every 5 minutes I change what I'm doing... run to a jog to a walk to a speed walk on a steep incline...…

I need to save like this entire list.

great to bring awareness and share your story! just want to also mention eating disorders that go the other way in regards to binging and food addictions. While they might not be as recognized as those we know well, they still can be very damaging and may often morph later into disorders at the other extreme such as…

I've had two months of this! gained 10 lbs over the holidays and the new years with injury and illness and just losing complete track but it does mean that you can't get back on track and everyone hits stall outs but your body will catch up and get going again... just try and remember what it was like months ago when you…

last night on work out 4 I was struggling on a few things that I didn't remember being issues before but I had also run a couple miles before the circuit so i'm going to blame that for now... however I am able to muscle out a few manly push ups before dropping to my knees... I'm already worried about everything work out 7…

when I get home from work I don't sit down... I immediately put on my work out clothes and keep moving even whether that be jupming right into the work out or doing chores... but once I have those clothes on I know that I'll get done what I need to... I am not a morning work out person on week days at all and since working…

this thread was great... i've only ever run a few 5ks with a 13/min mile pace and I thought I was going to die afterwards... now there is a whole crew of people who seem to think I can run the half marathon in Pittsburgh with them... I think they are nuts and asked them to give me a month to see what I could do... my goal…

I started back yesterday... only going to do one week with workouts 1 and 2 since I've stayed somewhat active since falling off from this program... but we'll still be pretty close!

you look great! great job and the kick start I need to get going with this again... :) thanks!

christmas eve will be homemade pizza (carry out was the old family tradition but love making my own now)... brunch on christmas day with perogies, sausage, onions and egg burritos with mom's side... then traditional dinner with dad's side of the fam... also having friends over the sunday after christmas for a big…

early christmas for you right! :)... i actually love running in the cold - its the best thing for my asthma if you can believe it - i just have to be careful about jumping back into a warm house right away because that can trigger a horrible attack... just with snow and ice i'm way too scared to risk falling on my face…

yeah its 999.00 on amazon now and i have a prime membership so free shipping no matter what... I just have to wonder if the price will drop at all after the new year or if will spike since sales will probably increase... ugh decisions decisions!!! thanks for you input!

This was one of my top options... had good reviews for a good price - thanks for the input!
