Start at slower than normal pace and make the last mile the fastest.

Sure it is enough. Do all the variations of squats. Google it. You can move the weights lots of different ways you can move your feet out in side to side all of it. You can even put your balance ball on the wall and do squats on the wall.

Yeah heard that

I've never understood the big guys not giving the big girls the time of day either.

Here it is! http://www.mybodygallery.com/ I know a lot of us think well I look better than her but you will see a few different people at your size.

I'm pretty sure the slice I had at the cheesecake factory at lunch today was more than that. So I plan to burn off at least 3 or 4 of your slices at the gym tonight :)

They have a website for that...I will try to find it. You can enter your height and weight and see pics of others.

I had exactly 30 mins today at the gym because of a meeting at work but I did it and I made sure I burned 300+ calories too :) Portion control has been good the past couple of days now I just noticed I might have slacked a bit on the water yesterday. I just don’t drink near as much on these freezing days for some reason.

Try a BUTI yoga class.

I am in! I did a bunch of cooking this weekend and froze it in right portion containers so it is easy to take for lunch or even reheat for dinner. I also just got back from 60 mins cardio at the gym :)

Where is that spreadsheet? do we update it? I have stayed the same. Maybe monday I will see a pound or two but not really holding my breath :)

I'm a slow loser so I'm only setting my goal at 10 pounds.

Ice cream...

I've never posted a pic so I'm testing this out.

You can just tie the watch on you depending on what clothes you wear like on your bra strap or if you have waist ties. I've done it in my boxing class and I still get a good read.

Hi I'm Kim, 32 single mother of one adorable 6 year old living in Colorado. I've lost 90lbs that I have been able to maintain but I never did quite reach my goal. I'd like to lose a total of 32 pounds in 2013 but probably just 10 of that will happen during this challenge. Maybe a couple more if I am lucky. I enjoy working…

I'd like to join in too

I was just like you I kept seeing all these shows in TV that fallowed people doing these half marathons and marathons and lost so much weight. I thought why can't I do it too. Well I could and I did! I've done 3 half marathons and each time I beat my personal best! Not sure I'm up for doing another one just yet but feel…

Ha! I thought I was the only one or that it was in my head that winter was so much harder. I'm ALWAYS frozen to the bone. I'm not even very thin. When I get so cold I get so cranky. The only thing that warms me is running but I don't have much more than 30-60 mins a day for that. I get super hot and love every second of it…

I see a huge change! Keep it up!

ETA: and check out his blog: http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/ [/quote] That blog!

I like to use it in my shakes and cookies. Never tried it on bread or celery to know if the texture is different.

I still breath really heavy and sound like I'm dying but I can run for 35+ mins. When I run on the streets and pass people I'm sure they are thinking I will drop dead at any moment lol I do slow down for a bit and try to take a really deep breath then pick my pace back up. Some days it is easier than others.

Crystal light packs in the water! Gives more of a flavor but hardly adds any calories. I put on packet of the peach mango green tea into a 32oz of water so its just 10 calories. Also try chewing SF gum. Gives your mouth something to do again for about 5 cals a stick. And when those don't work I do sunflower seeds! Again I…

Welcome Jackie! I was very similar to you 5 years ago. You CAN do it and you will FEEL great!

$100 a month on just you? No family to feed on that either? You will be just fine just remember to buy only what you need and will eat. Buy things like animal meat in bulk just once a month then go and buy your fresh fruits and veggies weekly.
