Beautiful afternoon. Pure blue sky. The trees are turning, every day is different.

91% humidity - glad I didn't know before I started.

Thanks! I never thought to look under cardio for weight training!

What about heating up your milk in the microwave or making a thermos before you go to bed? Or trying an almond milk? They are naturally sweet and the warmth brings out the sweetness and relaxing quality in the beverage. Sprinkle cinnamon on top or put in a little vanilla extract for flavor. Your body might be telling you…

I wouldn't mind being called svelte (hasn't happened), but I do get called thin. I'm more appreciative when people notice I am active and fit rather then thin, since thin feels more like a fashion description than wellness. Some people are very kind and feel out whether I have lost weight due to illness before…

I can tell it's getting cooler and less humid - am picking up speed. Another great evening run.

Ezekiel. Really tasty with warm unsweetened almond milk (or regular if you can drink it). Also great for giving yogurt a healthy crunch or sprinkled on a chopped microwaved apple for a delicious desert.

That sounds amazing! I would love to serve this for a healthy, light dinner for special guests. It must be so gorgeous and delicious.

Absolutely gorgeous day! Ran 4.4 after work, sun, shade, breeze--could not have been more perfect.

Trader Joe's has a cracker that's a great substitute for chips for me: it's a rice cracker "multiseed with soy sauce": 110 calories for 35 crackers. They are crunchy, slightly salty, made from brown rice-- so they offer the satisfaction (if you eat them one at a time) of potato chips, take a long time to eat and are even a…

If you're using runkeeper, it has some training plans that might be helpful. I am doing the Beginnner 5 K which starts low, but has some gentle interval training. I was surprised how my speed picked up. I think I could have gone faster but was holding back, running fast for 60 seconds, then slow for 90 seconds I was…

I like nutribullet, works great for my individual use. I don't add sugar to my smoothies and I only use one fruit, one vegetable, one carb and one protein in mine. I do a lot of things in the morning (ok, I spend a lot of time reading email and on the internet) so I appreciate being able to drink breakfast while I get…

1 cup (or container) nonfat plain yogurt or kefir, 1/4 cup oatmeal, 1 banana, 1 cup kale, 1 teaspoon green matcha powder. water to good consistency. this is less than 300 calories, filling. Very high in protein if you use greek yogurt. If you want something lighter, use almond milk. You can increase the oatmeal to half a…

Hello, I am 5'3, 60 years old and 115. I've been in maintenance for a couple of months. I have found some good petite clothing at White House Black Market however their sizing is consistent, sometimes I wear a 2, sometimes a 4. I track. I aim for 10,000 steps a day plus jog, currently as the weather is workable, every…

Hit my goal earlier this week and ran on an additional 2.5!

I use the runkeeper 5K training plan. It's a little different, you pick whether you want to walk or run. I had been running already and could run 1.5 miles so it worked better for me than trying to figure out where in a run/walk plan would be a good place to start.

Don't buy too many new clothes - your shape will continue to change even though your weight will stay the same. But at least make sure you have a few attractive outfits that show off your wonderful accomplishment.

Running every other day is paying off, and temperature below 80 makes a huge difference as well. 6.7 miles to go--I'll need a bigger challenge for next month.

The big obstacle I've encountered trying to bring weight training into my exercise plan is that whenever I start working with weights, I get sore, and it interferes with my very modest cardio activities. Going from not fit to fit, it's been difficult to shift my life also to fit in sessions to the gym. I'm aiming for twice…

I am 5'3, this morning, 114.8 pounds. 120 was my goal but I went on a computerless vacation and overestimated calories I was eating and lost. I set my activity as sedentary because I use a fitbit, which is linked to mfp and earns calories. MFP "gives me" 1350. (This morning, 1550 because I am below my target.) I eat back…
