Just Dance- it's great! It will really get your heart rate up and make you sweat, but it's so fun to do! The biggest Loser and wii fit games are alright too, just not quite as fun and "feel" more like work.

Silly as it sounds, I try to shower before going to the gym so I don't stink. I don't have to shower RIGHT before, but at least the morning of. I can't really workout and then shower for the day.

Dining hall will be the hard part. I've never had to rely on them, it really depends on the school as to what your options will be there. Just try to scope out the options and then research their calorie values before you dig in. Hopefully your tuition goes towards free access to the gym. Luckily my school has a couple…

I also weigh myself daily- I love when it goes down but I don't beat myself up about a slight gain. I know that even at the end of the day it is normal to see an slight increase from the morning. I know that my weight WILL fluctuate during the day and even more so during the TOM. It's only unhealthy to weigh yourself so…

Though I try to make healthy choices, I eat anything I want within my daily caloric limit. Enjoy a hot dog now and then!

I'm not a mom, but I imagine it's possible she was just frustrated, having a bad day or feeling too tired to cook. Next time, throw in that you don't want fast food but you can make your own dinner if she is too tired to cook. Or, like someone else suggested- offer to cook for everyone at home. Perhaps you can talk to your…

You can't really target one area for weight loss, however those exercises will tone your muscles up and make them look less flabby, especially when the weight does come off. I have larger legs but I think running would be a great workout for legs. A friend of mine that's a person trainer says everyone should do squats! You…

I've had a very good experience with this med. I take the generic immediate release. I do only take it in the morning because I can have trouble sleeping if I take it at night. It did not cause weight gain and in fact I lost a few pounds when i first started due to the "high" that some get when you first start taking it.…

I was horribly sick with a stomach virus (I think) last Friday and could barely eat anything. Luckily, since then I've been really good with staying at or a little below my calories. I don't eat all my exercise cals because I know there are days that I go over too. My scale reads different than the one at the gym but I'm…

I would say just a few pounds. It's going to take months to really build lots of muscle. If you are just starting or doing something new I think it's okay to contribute a pound or two to water retention for healing muscles too.

I'll play. I still need to lose about 40 pounds. I never set a goal date though and I've lost 11 measly pounds this year. I need some motivation! SW: 190 CW: 190 GW: 150

100 grams = 3.52739619 ounces So they are pretty close to the same. I didn't calculate to see if it is exactly correct though.

I guess I just don't see how it's negative. She admits that her own personal body issues prevent her from wanting kids. Women without these issues will obviously not have a problem. Even role models can't be perfect. I guess it's mostly irrelevant to me since I don't want kids either. Not related to body issues, just a…

I remember seeing her on a talk show (Leno maybe) where she talked about not wanting to have kids- or rather not go through pregnancy because of her body issues. She realizes that it's a mental body image issue that prevents her from it and that it doesn't mean they "ruin" a body necessarily, just that it's not for her. I…

I would also say trust your gut. Get your boyfriend to come with you occasionally, especially if you go at night or in the evenings. Hopefully just seeing you with another guy will make him back off. I also like Bear00's idea of being proactive. Talk about your boyfriend and mention that you live together. He may be a well…

I love her! Seeing her videos actually inspired me to work on my fitness in the first place :)

I allow myself *some* chocolate because I know I'll just end up binging without it. However, I try a glass of chocolate skim milk to satisy that craving. Another yummy treat is cool whip on graham crackers and then frozen- it's like an ice cream sandwhich. I try not to let sweets account for more than 200-300 calories a…

Welcome! I have about 50 pounds to lose as well. Butt, thighs and arms- I hear ya! I'm working on weight training since I enjoy it so much more than the boring treadmill. I also hike a couple times a week to get in some cardio. Eating less is obviously the hardest part. Good luck to us both :)

I started getting yukon gold potatoes- they don't even NEED butter to taste good. I usually bake in the microwave then mash with a fork a little bit and add only a dash of salt and pepper.

I take my boxers for walks and plan to have them join my in my C25K training. Probably my favorite thing though is stretching with them, they tend to be underfoot so when I'm stretching I always have a dog under me to pet while I stretch it out. Kinda like the doggie yoga I've seen on tv. When writing your articles you may…

I love veggie wraps. I made a spinach hummus for the spread (or you can buy hummus) and add sliced, raw zucchini, cucumber, tomato, carrot, whatever you like on a whole wheat tortilla. I love many of Rachel Ray's recipes too. I think this one would still be good without the tuna (maybe you could add tofu or another type of…

Or keep it in the mug and add a spoonful of ice cream :drinker:

Raw zucchini, cucumber, carrot- whatever you like dipped in spinach hummus. Fruit smoothies with skim milk and store bought frozen fruit. Sliced veggies and cubed sweet potato tossed in olive oil and whatever spices you like first then roasted. I like to add a dash of red crushed pepper- the kick goes nice with the sweet…

There is nutrition info on the cake mix boxes.... just figure that out and add the eggs and applesauce, divide by how many cookies you end up with. I saw a youtube video of someone making these- look great!

I'm 5'7" with a medium build frame. I was very happy when I was 145, five years ago. I would like to get back to that weight plus be more fit and toned. I don't think I'd like to be below 140, especially since i hope to have more muscle this time. I can't imagine weighing 126 on my frame.

I don't really know how sororities work, but perhaps you could talk to the chef directly or bring up in a meeting that, as a vegetarian you were wondering if it's possible to include more veggies in the menu. Grilled veggies are super easy to fix and taste great.

I tried it and fell off the wagon due to my own laziness. There is also a facebook group for C25K and they post lots of success stories and articles too. I hope to try it again soon.

I will say that I gain weight when I start exercising again because muscles will hold water while they repair themselves. At least I hope that's what that is! Take your measurements too. This really helped me. After ten days I'd already lost inches but with no real change on the scale. It certainly is encouraging to see…
