I lost over 110 pounds just by walking. I have started running lately, but walking at a brisk pace will certainly work.

2.25 miles today.

Read your nutrition labels. Anything over 5 grams is considered to be "high fiber". I use La Bandarita extreme high fiber soft taco sized tortillas instead of bread (9 grams of fiber), or Thomas' light whole grain english muffins (8 grams). Beans are also a high fiber food, but have other bodily effects, if you catch my…

5k today...

After a discussion with my trainer last night, I'm going to adjust my training goal, thereby lowering my expected mileage for August to 75. Started with an easy 5k today.

I'm in for another 100 miles!

Made it!!!

Great advice.

So true!!!

If you can find this (it's very popular and fly's off the shelves) Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream and it's the BEST root beer float ever!

Beautiful weather for a good 10k this morning. Will do another mile on the treadmill after supper so tomorrow I'll just need a 5k to reach my goal!!!

Did another 2 miles on my new to me treadmill tonight. May make that 100 after all. :smile:

Hot and sticky 5k today. Doesn't look like I'll quite make my goal this month. It was a lofty goal, considering my previous high month was 83 miles. But I will get 100 next month!!!

Great advice already from @Azdak, @bkthandler, and @Cherimoose. I can only second what they say. Blood thinners and auto-immune conditions make your sisters case very specialized and should involve her doctor and a trained, licensed rehab specialist.

Making fried brown rice with chicken and veggies tonight.

5k today...

Hi Shannon! And welcome to MFP. I'm 53 (almost 54, but who's keeping track :wink: ) Lots of helpful and supportive folks on here. If you'd like, send me a friend request. I'm always happy to help and support others!

This...Don't try to find time. Just make time...

I've made this Thai red curry dish many times and it is AWEOME!!! myrecipes.com/recipe/thai-red-curry-beef

See a doctor. It's on the high end of what is considered "normal".

Way to go!!! I've lost 110 pounds, still working on the last 25. You can add me if you'd like support and motivation. :smile:

Try looking at cookinglight.com/food/recipe-finder for ideas. Just type in a food you will eat (like chicken), and it will pop up lots of great healthy recipes to try.

Not going to suggest a brand (but I do love my Brooks Adrenaline GTS15), but I will strongly recommend going to a specialty running store and getting properly fitted. Most of the people working in these stores are serious, if not professional, runners. They know the shoes and what will work best for your foot type, body…

5k today bringing the total to 81.2/100 miles. I'm not fast, but I am determined! :wink:

Over 4 years, 110 pounds lost, still losing. :smiley:

Need to do 21.9 miles in the next 4 days to make my goal...

Awesome success story! I've followed a similar path, losing 110 pounds over 4 years by eating smarter, tracking calories, and exercise. I still have another 25 pounds to lose, and will keep pushing until I get there! Thanks for sharing your story!

Friend request sent! I've lost 110 pounds, still working on that last 25. :smiley:

6.25 miles today. 78.9/100 for the month. Gonna have to push to make the goal... Ticker still not working. :-(

Any way, any time. :smiley:
