I have taught water fitness and aqua jogging for 10 years now and I can tell you there are definitely ways to do strength training in the water. Like others have said, it's no substitute for lifting weights. However, depending what your goals are it might be possible to achieve them in the pool. Most pools have foam…

I'm training for a full marathon in February. Running 4x per week and trying to get in some cross training as well. I'm definitely no where near as fast as you are. I usually hold 11-12 min miles on any run over 5 miles. But I've always been a slow runner and I'm totally ok with that! :smile: Focusing on eating lean…

Feel free to add me! We are in this together! :smile:

Feel free to add me! We've got this! :smile:

10,000 steps a day is a great goal! Feel free to add me! :smile:

Feel free to add me! Always love having new fitness friends! :smile:

I have stretch marks as well but I've learned to embrace them. Feel free to add me! :smile:

I'm trying to lose about 15-20 pounds as well. Feel free to add me! :smile:

Feel free to add me! :smile:

First week was a huge success! Logged more miles than I had originally planned. Marathon training is going great!!! :smile:

Anyone feel free to add me! I absolutely love the support from all of my MFP friends so far!!! :smile:

Best of luck to you!!! :smile:

Just noticed your name. Do you have the Speedo Shine? I had a lot of trouble getting mine to sync to MFP. I got the Misfit the day it came out in stores because I was so stoked to use it in the pool. Not sure if these issues have been resolved in the several months it's been out.

Hi there! I have a Misfit Speedo Shine. I was using it regularly a few months ago but I had a lot of trouble syncing it and many days my points were all messed up. I would check it and have 600 and then recheck a couple hours later and have less. Has anyone else had this issue? I would love some Misfit friends, but it was…

You got this! Feel free to friend request me! :smile:

I am obsessed with my crockpot!!! I usually spend 4 hours (including going to the store and all the prepping) on a weekend day to prep dinners for the rest of the week so I can be lazy when I get home from long days at school. I spent about $60 on ingredients for 12 dinners. I live by myself so I choose 3 recipes that make…

Cauliflower instead of potatoes is a great one!!! Also love using spaghetti squash instead of pasta!

Quinoa salads are amazing because they travel well and fill you up! I make a huge batch at the beginning of each week and always include different ingredients so I don't get bored.

My parents never let me have super sugary cereals as a kid so I've never tried Cookie Crisp, Fruity Pebbles, Cocoa Puffs, or Trix. I never really had the desire to try them as I got older because I already had cereals I really liked.

Desserts are my weakness! I only keep one pint of ice cream in my apartment and a small selection of candy to indulge in when I'm really craving something sweet. Otherwise I like to treat myself when I go out.

Love love love any kind of sashimi!!! I'm not a huge fan of all the rice and extra stuff, I like being able to taste the fish as is.

Just take it one day at a time. Even small steps will eventually get you to where you want to be. Stick with it and I promise it will be worth it! Best of luck to you!!!

Sending request now! :smile:

You all look fantastic and I'm so inspired!!!

Wow! Great job!!! :smile:

*How obsessed you will get with workout clothes *How addictive endurance sports can be *How amazing it feels to get rid of your old clothes

@Pandora_and_her_box I have done two other full marathons, but this is my first time doing LA! Super excited about it!

I'm in for 80 miles!!! Training for the LA Marathon!

I've had asthma my entire life and I've completed two full marathons and a bunch of half marathons. They key is to make sure your asthma is well-controlled before you start running. I have exercise-induced asthma and will usually take two puffs of my albuterol inhaler before I go out on a run. I also always bring my…
