I know what you mean! About 2 years ago I hit close to my goal weight and was feeling great...and then I got a new job in a new department and the stress started to creep in...so did the alcohol and snacks and eating...and bammo 45 pounds later, I need to do something, So, I am back with a renewed spirit. I would love to…

Welcome! I have about 40-50 pounds to lose! I lost about 60 over a year and a half ago and then gained about half of it back... so, now I am back on track.

I did my first Warrior Dash this weekend in Splendora and it was AWESOME!! I took my time and finished in 1 hour and 15 minutes. My goal for the next one is going to be focused on time. I am going to sign up for the one in Austin in November, I figure that gives me several months to train up. I am not too sore today and…

Congratulations!! And yes! It is addicting. You will find yourself thinking of when can I run next. I have a similar story and I finished my first half marathon at the end of January and next weekend I will be doing my second one. Good luck! And run strong!!

Yeah, I am the same way. I think there is something about the spacing of stairs that use different muscles maybe?? Or maybe when you go up the stairs, you take them at a greater pace. I know I tend to try to go faster up my work stairs because I know that I do the elliptical and can jog ten minutes straight. Then people…

Actually any activity can be assigned a certain number of calories that you can burn. Getting frustrated with this post will probably burn more calories than just smiling and recognizing the thought that some people during the holidays may not be able to get to the gym and do "burns", "reps", and the treadmill. If you want…

Having a golf shirt that used to be snug in an XL now being long enough to cover my bum. And someone asking if I was wearing my husband's shirt by mistake.

I hate running on a treadmill. I think because I am constantly looking down at the numbers and getting frustrated. For me, running is as much mental as it is physical. So, when I am outside, I can tell myself, that if I can just get to the next tree or post, or landmark, then I can slow down..whereas on the treadmill, I…

Have you had your hormone levels checked lately? I know that several months back, I had some issues with my hormone levels and it turned out this was causing me issues. So, basically, all my working out and watching what I ate was causing me to simply maintain my weight. Once, I got that regulated, then I started to lose…

Yes, I signed up for the warrior dash in Houston in March. I am only concerned about the wall.. I don't want splinters.

No, Spanx doesn't help with weight loss. Pushing it around and creating a muffin top won't help and will make you just feel more uncomfortable about your body. Spanx were designed to try to smooth "problem areas" but the truth is, that everyone has different problem areas so, unless you are going to wear a head to toe…

That is awesome! I am training for my first half marathon and it takes me about 45-50 minutes to go 4 miles so you are doing AWESOME! I think you are going to rule!! And I have been training for a couple of months. So you are fast.

Feel free to add me! I agree that the encouragement and support helps ,otivate. That and the tracking. Keeps us accountable.

Feel free to add me! I love this app!! Except it messed up my days counter... But it may have been because of a "bad" after midnight day!! Serves me right! Back on track!!!

Yay! That is awesome! What a great feeling! I can't wait to go into buckle jeans and try them on...may not buy them but just put them on and take pictures....

I love sweet potato fries if they aren't too greasy. Some places will ruin them and then they are worse for you.

Wow! That is awesome!! I like Zumba but I have started doing a class now called Cardio Night Club, it has more club like music and dance moves. It's awesome and taught by one of my friends. I like Zumba but I always feel so un-coordinated.

Hey there! I am from Texas as well!! This is a great site and I love the app on my phone! I am a UT fan too but I went to Southwest Texas so I really don't have loyalty to either school. And yes, it was Southwest Texas when I went there....:laugh:

I am facing the same thing! I signed up for a half-marathon for January 2012. The farthest I have ever run is like 9 miles but I jogged/walked that and I joined a local running group. That was last year. This year, I haven't started training but I have been doing Body Pump, Spinning and Cardio Night Club Classes to try to…

Mine are 1. Moves Like Jagger 2. Tik Tok 3. Shake That 4. Hot N Cold 5. Hey Baby (Drop it to the Floor)

Welcome! I too used to do Weight Watchers, which is a great program, but you are right, it's expensive. I too am struggling with my weight after baby #2, but of course, she is 3 years old now. At first, I got lazy and now this year, I have really decided to kick it into gear. Making small changes, will help. I found the…
