Oh and yes I agree with the lady above me, FORM! That is huge. He was constantly correcting me in the beginning and I so needed that! And sometimes still he has me tweak my form or lets me know when I am getting lazy with my form, etc. Yay for not getting injured haha

I love my trainer and would not be in the shape I am in without him. I would try to get a referral from someone or go to a smaller gym (not a large chain) and try a few trainers out. They should listen to your goals and give you honest feedback. I have been with my trainer for about 6 years now. My boyfriend works out with…

Of course not. Whatever gets you to the gym and doing your thing. I also don't judge the women there with their hair and makeup done or the people that are there in cotton or sweats or the people decked out in head to toe cute name brand stuff. We are all different in and out of the gym. Showing up is all you gotta do!…

I don't think avoiding panty lines means wanting to pick up guys at the gym. It is about what you are comfortable with, no one wants to feel self conscious while they are working out.
-
Me too. Capri/bike shorts/tight fitting whatever they are called, none needed. For short running shorts I always get the kind with the built in liner. I can't deal with undies when I workout!

Hi Kia! I have made this one before: http://www.theppk.com/2009/11/homemade-seitan/ I simmered it being really careful not to bring to a boil and the consistency was good. It seemed very high in sodium, though. Next time would cut way back on the soy sauce and maybe 1/2 veg broth 1/2 water where it calls for the veggie…

You can add me if you want, I journal all of my meals and snacks. I stared out challenging myself to be a vegetarian for 2 weeks and that was 10 years ago! :smile: No judgment if you decide it isn't for you! I love it and it has been good for my life. Hope you like it!
-
Just wanted to add and a few others have said, too, but LOTS of people run-walk. It will NOT take you 6 hours :smile:
-
That is enough time! And there is no shame in walking if you need to. Awesome you are motivated and making goals for yourself! IMO the only goal for your first half marathon - to finish. Time does not matter. At the end, everyone did 13.1 miles, burned a ton of calories and did something so many people would never attempt.…

Agree!!! You don't have to be 100%, it isn't all or nothing :)
-
Wonderful! You look great!!!! :)
-
Wonderful! You look great and strong!!! Glad to hear you identified that you don't need alcohol in your life and cut it out completely. That takes so much strength!
-
Congrats! You look amazing!!!! What an accomplishment! You have a wonderful smile it lights up both pictures!
-
Please go see a doctor! I think it is very good that you are trying to plan to be healthier. I think talking to a doctor would help you come up with a good, solid plan with some guidelines for you personally instead of a general idea. You are so young, it is great you are seeing this as unhealthy and wanting to do…

That is awesome! I am now a vegan but was a vegetarian for many years before. I think doing one at a time worked best for me. You can add me if you like. There are a lot of nice veggie people here on MFP that are encouraging and can give you some really good food ideas.
-
As long as you don't replace the meat with junk food or pills then I do believe it will make you a healthier person. I feel and look better as a vegetarian than I ever did as a meat eater. Good luck to you in whatever you end up choosing. I hope you get good results when you go back to your doctor. I think it is always a…

Feel free to add me and you can see my diary to see what I eat. I am a vegan and very active. There are some boards - Team Vegan and Happy Herbivores and they have some great topics. Most vegans are nice people and you wouldn't know they were vegan unless the topic came up, so if you run into the rare jerkface here on MFP…
-
Could you eat healthy all day and then have a treat in the evening to look forward to? Could you stop by a convenience store after dinner and get ONE candy bar? If I have a lot of unhealthy food in my house I can’t stay away from it. So if I really want a treat I get something from out of the house in a single serving, eat…
-
Wow! Great job!!! You look great and healthier and happy. What an accomplishment! You are amazing!
-
There are several of us! I will add you! :)
-
I would die in -50f windchill. You guys are tough to brave it!!!!
-
Me too! I am in Dallas. It is not easy in the summer but I do it. In the winter I have to have a mental argument with myself to get out there and freeze!!!!!!
-
Agree with the slow down, hydrate advice. Don't be hard on yourself just keep getting out there. In the fall you will be happy you stuck with it and it will feel easier once you have braved the summer :smile:
-
Congrats! That is hard work!!! <3 You look lovely!!!
-
Well I think she wanted it to be in the news because she is promoting a vegan business she is starting, but I don't know all of the details of that. I am a vegan. I don't like bashing people over the head with it. But it is something I feel has impacted my life in a really positive and healthy way, so if people find out I…

Silk Unsweetened Soy Milk is my favorite and is the most "milk like" to me. I know a lot of people that love almond milk, but it has a less creamy consistency in my opinion.
-
Maybe try a smaller gym in your area? I have been going to the same trainer for about 6 years now. He works at a small gym. I actually left the gym but kept the trainer and we workout away from the gym. Having a trainer is what works for me. It might not be for everyone but it keeps me accountable and fit. Find someone…

Agree with the last 2 ladies - you do not get ripped by accident. I have been working out with weights for years and I have definition but I am not "bulky". Although once you start getting definition you might get a little hooked on it :smile: I am a little bigger in the arms and legs than I thought I would be comfortable…
