Oh I see now! I have to turn my phone horizontally for that information to show up. Thank you!!

I weigh myself the same as the majority above. Can I just take a moment to address something though, because it seems that no one else has... If you're so frustrated with your weight to the point where you'll throw a scale out the window, resulting in damaging public property, you might want to consider going to talk to…

You're probably running much faster overall though? I figure it's like when to have a lot of weight to lose, it comes off quicker the higher you are :) When I started running in January I was running a 15 minute mile on the treadmill. I've broken 11 minutes and change just a few times. I think I probably could do it, but…

I know I won't improve to my friends pace. If I could get to a seven minute kilometer I'd be over the moon. Currently I'm 7:30-9:00, depending on the terrain. I'm definitely not putting in that many miles per week (yet). This week my plan says 39 km total, but I think I'll actually be like 43 km.

[/quote] I'm Korean so I always have enough rice, I buy it 25 pounds at a time :smile: Of course I would never waste that much rice to try and dry my shoes! I have wasted a gallon of white vinegar to get the stink out of workout clothes. A long soak in straight vinegar is the only thing that works for me.[/quote] I wash…

Good idea!

Thanks ladies! I ended up cutting my run a little short (13.5km instead). The diva cup held up alright. I was worried it would get too heavy/irritate, but it held up just fine :)

I just started the Non-Runners Marathon Trainer training plan. I've run before, but only like 5-8k, so I started the plan on week 3 and now I'm on week 6, so I'm three weeks in since I started running longer distances once a week. This will be the longest run I've ever had!

Yes I was thinking a pad might not be the greatest idea... especially because it's raining here today too

I've seen them on Facebook! Maybe I will try them out soon! I just bought a new vacuum, so I have to wait a bit before anymore splurges....

Agreed with above, there are so many variables. I run in Brooks Defyance shoes (as per a podiatrist) because I have super wide hobbit feet. And I don't wear socks. We'll see how that goes now that my mileage is going up with marathon training...

Night sweats can indicate sleep apnea too. In men another common sign is getting up at night a lot to pee

Cool idea!! R11 SW 80.4 kg 10 day goal: under 80 kg Day / Weight / Comments 7/22 / 80.4 kg 7/23 7/24 7/25 7/26 7/27 7/28 7/29 7/30 7/31

Yes, i figure I'll be in weight loss mode until the beginning of September, then I'll switch to maintenance. I'd like to keep working on my distance too, but I recognize that my pace time will suffer as a result

Hello everyone, I'm new to this thread, and excited to be here! I'm following the Non-Runners Marathon Trainer, currently on week 5. I'll be doing a trail Ragnar in September, and a half marathon in October, with possibly a full marathon in November. My stats for this month (in kms) are as follows: 7/1 - rest 7/2 - 9.65…

Wow congrats!! You look amazing!!

I lost 35# a couple years ago, then gained back 25#. Working on losing it again, but this time I addressed the reasons why I was binge eating to begin with. So I think I'll have better odds of keeping it off this time. Are you able to address the reasons why you regained, and take the necessary steps to stop it going…

I just signed up for the premium MFP, thinking that it would allow me to customize my daily calorie goals, but from what I can see, it will only let me do that on a weekly rotation. Which kind of sucks, because I work shift work, so my schedule and workout days are never consistent! I'll keep poking around though, maybe I…

I definitely feel better eating vegetables. I have been focusing on my protein more, but you are right, I think I need to become more mindful about how much I am eating and stop before I am satisfied. I think it would also be beneficial for me to schedule food prep times when I know I'm going to have a busy week, so that I…

Lol! Too late! I've actually only signed up for the half marathon (October), but the full marathon I *might* do is the following month. I'll be running with a friend who has a pace of 5:10/km, meanwhile I run about 7:30-8:30/km. I figured if I can drop some weight before then (July-Aug), then I'll be able to increase my…

Good to know! Thank you both so much!

I'm also training to run a half marathon in October. The long runs have me wiped the next day!

When is your UK Ragnar? I ran one for the first time in May, and am excited to do a trail Ragnar this September!

I was putting on deodorant this morning (rock salt crystal thing), and accidentally slammed it into my ribcage under the arm 'pit'. Who knew there was actually a cavity there, that had ribs under the skin?! Also, I am A LOT more protective of my mental happy space. I am okay with saying no to events that I know will cause…

I'm sorry for your loss :(

^ all of the above for me. Mostly I get my protein through powders or bread. And once a year we split a side of beef from a local farmer. $700 gets us enough meat to last almost a whole year.

Way to go!!

I've been reading The Non-Runners Marathon Trainer. It's a pretty good book, and a good training plan. I'm on week 4 now, and run about a 12:30-13:30 minute/mile

So so so this. I didn't realize that I was binge eating after interacting with my family. I think it was because I'm very different than they are. Also, I think my mom is very unhappy, and part of me subconsciously didn't want to get smaller because I knew she would be jealous/resentful and internalize my success as her…
