I've been 190lbs, 160 & most recently 130lb working my way down. I mean wheeling around in a Rascal 3000 sounds pretty cool but...then again, I don't think my cat could fit his furry fatpants body into the basket so sadly that's a no go!
One of my many bucket list items is to pretty much burn your eyes with my super hotness, nah actually I just want to wear a bikni like a normal person, skip my way down the beach all without scaring small children : ) I've been told it can be done!
If you:
- like to eat (cheese especially oh yummm)
-sarcasm & dry wit...oh the British how I love thee
- cook/bake
-eat low carb, you'll be shocked at the deliciousness I've figured out!
-setting goals (eg weight loss....half marathon which I signed myself up for to be accountable, it'd be embarassing to be last hello motivation!)
-play sports/run - I could use running advice for the half marathon training
-know the mystery of why oh why back fat exists, ugh savage
Add me!
I'm also vaguely fascinated by before and afters I should really post a before & during!
Stats:
5'3
SW: 132 (from 190, then 160lbs)
Goals: To rock out at the Chicago rock n roll 1/2 marathon July 20th, 2014 at whatever weight means flat stomach and sweet running skillz!
Add me cause it's boring here, alone....

Well, I'm 5'3 like you. I run ALOT which means I eat tons and tons of carbs (something you'll need to work on with half marathon training.)
Added you!0 -
Running=eating carbs...YES please.
Anything that says I get to eat cheese and bread together....yeah AMAZING! I'd probably run a half marathon if I knew there was free cheesebread at the finish line....I'm not sure if that makes me a total cheesewhore (ahem read cheese conissuer if that's not politically correct) but probably, and I'm okay with that
Nice to meet you!0 -
Okay, I'm 5'2 (close enough right??) Goal is 150 (down from 250), and absolutely HATE running! However, I refuse to let anything beat me, so I run daily (not even close to half marathon status), love, love LOVE cheese, and am also low carb. However, I do remember the warm, soft goodness that is fresh bread... ***sigh***. That being said, I would love to watch and read about your progress.0
-
I'm impressed you run daily! I laugh when I think about how ill proportioned I personally am for running I'm like a top heavy midget, not really born to run....but running is actually really hard because you can stop ANYTIME you want...that's why it's so damn hard it's all about will power so good on you lady!
Yeah bread...oh my sweet sweet love...second only to cheese but that being said I have a few sites you might want to check out, alldayidreamaboutfood.com this lady is a diabetic lowcarber but she makes amazing food and is a runner so if you haven't it's worth a look. Also yourlighterside.com has lots of yummy low carb desserts.
I currently make low carb cinnamon ricotta waffles and use no sugar added syrup they're actually really good, I've also made coconut flour pancakes...they're pretty mealy texture-wise.
I've tried and sometimes failed at lots of low carb recipes so you have any good ones to pass along or a genre you're looking for ideas for I'm a wealth of random sometimes even helpful info 0 -
Yep, when you're training for a distance race it's recommended you eat 60% carbs. Granted, I tend to do about 45% and only go up to 60% when I'm carb loading the week before a full marathon. Which I'm currently do right now.
Good luck with your running! Always here to answer any questions you may have.0 -
Thanks for the info. I can use all the help I can get. Luckily for me, I only really have a taste or craving for them, during that time of the month, but oh the cravings during that time! I am going to those sites as we speak....0
-
Good thing I LOVE me some potatoes & squash I think those might be my go to items for marathon training!0
-
I have a flour allergy, doesn't mean I don't eat it (cause HELLO soooooooo yummy) but it makes my stomach bloat and it's painfully uncomfortable while it sits there...just hanging out...not digesting at all...so it makes it a bit easier to not eat regular flour stuff too often. But I think all these cooks that have mastered almond, coconut & peanut flour...are amazing! There's a delicious mushroom, sausage, diakon soup on the lighter side website, yummy!0

Hi everyone! I'm also 5'3", started at 142lb about a month ago, and am ~136lb now. I enjoy running, and I am trying to become a more serious runner. I ran two 5k's this week, so I was really proud of myself. Let's all share out successes & motivations!0
-
Ahhhh weight loss motivators let me count the ways:
- chub rub...yeah it'd be cool if my thighs didn't touch...they still kinda do when I'm not looking I totally know they're huddling together for warmth or something!
- back fat, seriously this is a curse I think it means strength training is a MUST learn to do properly activity
- obvs I want to be strong...HE-MAN strong...if you don't know He-Man...well...I'm not sure we can hang out...do your research
-public weighings such as doctors office, not to mention yearly physical (hello touching my stomach chub inappropriately!), ah or things like bunjee jumping cause if you lie about your weight you might die...unfortunate but true
-that little roll of fat when I hunch a bit...yeah I SEE YOU there...you're banished
-pretty bras, this might seem odd but it isn't
- running a half & full marathon in my 30th year (I turn 30 in holy crap 9 days)
-also this might be weird but food not controlling me, I see you bowl of candy...but I won't eat all of you...and that makes me proud!
What about you guys?0 -
Yes yes yes. I like you already.0
-
Sweet I always wanted to be friends with a super hero, now bench press me!
Well or maybe wait til I drop a few pounds but still it sounds like a sweet idea right!?!0 -

You whole list is so me!!! I LOVE LOVE carbs... I tried to do the SOuth Beach Diet last year but the first two or three weeks is carb free... not just bread carbs ALL carbs.. I was told I was being a total ***** and needed to eat my carbs again.. so I gave up on South beach... I love to work out and Starting to really love my running more and more each day.. I weight 155lbs and my goal is 130lbs by my birthday in March.. I'm running in my first 5k this weekend and its kinda last minute just to do it and see how my time will be... plus I'm going to be colored in NEON colors... Add me if you want..0

Here is a bucket list of info for you...Marathoning for Mortals is a text you really want to acquire.

Running is a way of life and running festivals are a blast. Carbs are 55% of my food and would be 100% but my body insists that protein is a requirement. Add me if you want blunt honest advice or support...but beware expect the same.0 -

Ohhh and here's the recipe for ricotta waffles, this morning I added approx 1/2 a scoop of vanilla protein powder (body fortress walmart brand) and it made the waffles less cinnamon french toast airy texture (still good) and more bread like!
2 lg eggs beaten
cinnamon to taste (I put ALOT in and it smells great but can't taste much of it so no worries with measuring there)
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp splenda
4 tbsp ricotta cheese (sounds bizarre but trust me)
1/4 - 1/2 scoop protein powder vanilla or plain
Uhh that's it, mix it up like a boss, it'll be runnyish and it won't be smooth looking but that's perfect, pour into a greased waffle maker at about medium, or a bit over and cook! They come out nice and golden and dare I say damn close to crispy if you let them sit a few minutes to cool!0 -

Rock on, I tend to fall into the Mortal category I mean unless I'm doing something uber cool so this will help thanks!0 -
These sound AMAZING. Thanks for sharing!!!0

Hi there! I also love to eat and have recently become addicted to cheese (fontina is my current obsession.) I like to cook, love to bake and have been known to be a bit of a smart *kitten*. I'm not a sporty person but I started C25K back in March and am now addicted to running. It's my exercise of choice and I do it nearly every day. I can do a 10K a day at the moment but I have yet to reach my goal of a half-marathon, lose steam after 8 miles. Sent you a friend request already, looking forward to reading your updates 0

Hello! I loooove love carbs, more than I should lol. I switched from all the processed to wheat and whole grain and im still in love. I don't run much right now but my goal is to actually run a marathon when I lose more weight so I can keep up! I am also cursed by the back fat rolly polly which I tug at every morning hoping I can just pull it off! Gah! Oh and He-man, I want to me strong like she-hulk!...well...maybe not has ripped but you catch my drift! oh and cheese...*drools* I love cheese! I try to cut back at times but I gotta have my cheese.

Sarcasm. I love it. Problem is so few get it. Anyway, I do a couple of half marathons a year along with a bunch of other runs. I run. I also cook and love wine. Good luck.0

Hello! Im a low car foodie, fav recipe site is www.genaw.com. I don't run much right now but my goal is to actually run a 1/2 marathon or a mud run soon0

Ahh this is a better way I'll reply to peeps in 1 message instead of 3 retarded quotes...SEE picking up a small child at the park for tech help was a genius plan!
Jaimie: I tried to make cauliflower brownies...because well they DEFY logic...yeah..don't they were weird...the ricotta waffle thing works butttt let's not get crazy
Spacey: Couch 2 5k I'm guessing that's the program you're referring to...if only it could be both...like I run a bunch then a couch on wheels drives me to a cheese fondue place...counter productive yes...but would I ever log some miles!
Sxynana: Weirdly white bread isn't my real love unless it's garlic cheesebread otherwise if I was going to eat bread I'd eat whole grain or 60% whole wheat, let's congratulate my mom on that one!
58Rock: A couple of half marathons...so causal and impressive...I don't love wine but rum and coke hell yes. Now I don't know that you have time for tv since you're a crazy running fiend but if you like sarcasm or dry wit...I know some pretty hilarious british and otherwise tv shows holy jebus.0 -
Hi! I am looking for friends to help motivate each other, etc. on MFP. I am 5'3" also and currently at about 157 down from my all time high of 212 after my daughter was born. I enjoy running...er...jogging....walk-jogging? I am currently trying to get my nerve up to start doing mixed martial arts cross training. I am down with sarcasm and have done low carb off and on for about five years. Have you tried the black bean brownies? I dunno man...0
-
Yeah I run but then my bf "runs' and then I'm offically jogging, it's the short midget legs I swear and our tiny stride! Cool mixed martial arts, I'm more of a run away don't hit me avoider...prob wouldn't be good at that....
I love the idea of crossfit but it's too expensive for me and I can't justify a gym membership and that.
My friend sent me a link for those black bean brownies...it's possible since they don't have much taste to begin with but I wonder if the texture would be elllll freaky!0 -
I have been told the black bean brownies taste just like the reg ones but I can't bring myself to make them... If I'm going to have something sweet I'm juast going to have the real thing0
-
I sent you a friend request. Your posts are great! I'm 5'2" and am down 7 pounds (just starting) from 190 to 183. Run? Oh gawd, no! I've just started walking. Maybe I'll get there...one day. Here are the things I'm sick of with being obese:
1. Back fat
2. Jiggly thighs that touch when walking - ewww!
3. Having to put my foot on my knee to tie my shoe -embarrassing!
4. Buying clothes in plus sized stores and having to carry the bag with the store logo on it all around while shopping.
5. Button-up shirts gapping
6. Buying industrial sized bras in specialty shops at exorbitant prices - currently size 38F
7. Having to sleep in a bra because the boobs are all over the place at night
8. Big arms going to sleep at night when I sleep on my side
9. Foot problems - arches & plantar fasciitis
10. and Back fat again - When you stand up, having to pull your shirt out of one of your back fat rolls so that the shirt hangs straight.
Okay, was that TMI?0
