When I hit my next goal I'm getting a pedicure, I badly need one !! My big goal is to get a tattoo that I have been wanting for many years.

I have an adjustable desk that I can switch between sitting and standing, I doubt it contributes to weight loss. But I do step back and forth while working and it helps me feel better versus sitting all day.

I wear a heart rate monitor and track my exercise that way.

I second the recommendation for a heart rate monitor, the easiest way to get an accurate estimation of calories burned.

Hi!! I'm also 35 and a mother of two, also looking to drop about the same amount of weight. I ran a half marathon 8ish years ago and have a goal to run another next summer :) I highly recommend the Couch25K training program to get started, it starts you off slow and builds up each week. I have an app on my phone that I…

Another vote for the Vivosmart HR, I love mine.

I also didn't lose any weight until I was done nursing, if I tried cutting calories while still nursing my milk supply hurt. I finally relented and just went with it until he was weaned, then I could take the weight off.

Sending a FR too. I'm 35 and had an incredibly stressful year, my mom passed away, we bought a new house and rented out our old house, plus kids in sports and 4H :smile:

Rockmyrun.com has some great playlists. You can picked them based on tempo or artist. You can also set it to change based on your tempo. Playlists under 30 minutes are free

I feel your pain! I have two stepsons, 10 and 17 and a 2 year old son of my own. We also have a farm with cows, horses, goats, sheep and chickens, with one goat being milked every night and we both work full time and volunteer on the fire department. I find that my lunch hour is the easiest time for me to workout most…

I do :) Feel free to add me robinsoncl

Hello everyone !!! Its been a while since Ive been on here, the holiday were a blur of activity. Im happy to report I weighted in at only 2 pounds heavier after a few weeks of overeating and very little exercise! I kicked the new year off right with a fun snowmobile ride with my husband, kind of becoming our January 1st…

Grr, my app seems to be having issued showing my steps. Its showing I have 0 for the week on the connections page, but then it shows all my steps on the My Day page

Requests sent!! Feel free to add me Robinsoncl

Hello everyone, I havent been as activly latley, still logging (some days better than others lol) I pulled something in my back last week and that kept me from working out for a few days. Last nigth we got 8" of snow, so I guess no outside running for a while ! Im working at getting back on track with my eating!

You have to weigh them, as much of a pain as it is. Once you weigh them for a while you can start to get an idea on the servings in different sizes. I just started weighing bananas because I decided to quit guessing.

I only know a limited amount about the procedure and the aftercare, but I dont see how that would work out. You will be on such a restricted calorie diet your body will not be producing enough milk to allow you to continue breastfeeding. You will also have to pump and dump after the surgery until the medication is out of…

Rinse potato, poke holes with a fork, then put in a ziplock bag. Microwave 5-6 minutes, yummy potato!

Hoping for some more snow before break, if we get snow I plan on some crosscountry skiiing and snowshoeing. If it doesnt snow we will probably do some bike riding and just general playing outside, soccer/football, hiking

I do the same thing! I normally try and set a goal for 75-100 per day. I also have some 5lb weights at my desk and try and do some upper body stuff throughout the day. Some days I'm really busy and don't spend a lot of time at my desk, but on days I spend a lot of time there I set a timer for 30 minutes and every time it…

Its a great program!! Good luck! I just finished week 6 of C210K, Ive done the couch to 5k before with great success.

I use to suffer from them a lot. My advise, along with the other things that have been posted above.. Go to a running store, not a generic fitness store, and get fitted for good shoes. They should watch you run on a treadmill, many of the stores video you running then play it back in slow motion so you can watch how your…

That is great news!!

I use Zenlabs and have been happy wih the app. I like being able to listen to my own music, I use RockmyRun app in the background for music and then the Zenlab app for the running instruction

Im on W5D3, the 20 minute run! Its such a big jump from the intervals, but Im looking forward to getting out there and doing it

Waste of money!! I came across this ridiculousness today http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10293734/green-tea-extract-question#latest

I've been a little MIA, had a very busy week last week and then kind of was in a slump, not eating horrible, but not as good as I was. I havent worked out much, but have been getting my steps in. Today I am back at it strong and ready to go!! Headed out to run shortly, havent run in a week, I will probably redo my last run…

Spent the last week with very little exercise and wating more than normal, happily I was up less than a pound today. Back on track this week!! We have two birthday dinners and two Thanksgiving dinners last week, all in all I was happy that I didnt have a huge gain today. I'm hoping to get a run in outside today, but it…

Time to get back on track after a few days of not really tracking and eating bigger meals with family. No gain, but no loss either! Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. Today's plan is house cleaning till it warms up a bit then head outside to get some work done. We got my youngest son a mini mule yesterday as an early…

GIllian, sorry for your loss and good thoughts for your sister and her baby! So far it been a pretty good week for me, yesterday I over ate a little, we had lasana, bread and pie at work, but it all averages out for my week and I still end up under my weekly goal! Today we get off work early and I was going to go swim…
