Apparently my doctor was either wrong or using outdated info: https://support.newbalance.com/hc/en-us/articles/210563528-What-do-the-model-numbers-mean- haha. whoops!

my limited understanding is the higher the number, the firmer the sole? That was what an orthepedic doctor told me years back. But still, the difference between the 860 and 880 must be negligible. i tried on a brooks shoe as well - so comfortable! it felt like clouds on my feet and i ended up saying no to them because they…

NB 880s and some new insoles to correct my inbalance. Going for my first training run/jog in more than a week tonight after work :D I did a couple jog sprints last night and it went really well!

Username: EnyaGoBoom Weigh in week: May Week 5 Weigh in day: Thursday Previous Week's weight: 217.8 Todays Weight: 217 No complaints here ☺️ If my numbers are right I had a total loss of 9.5 lbs in May and a little more than 4% loss total. This is a slow but sustainable loss path though my first week was the best I won’t…

Weekly Challenge Day: Wed Tracking: Yes Calories: yes Exercise: yes 60 min walk/jog. The new shoes make a huge difference!

Weekly Challenge Day: Tuesday Tracking: Yes Calories: yes Exercise: yes - 60 min walk :) back at it with a fierceness!

This beautiful weekend has been impossible lol - lots of studying and my father in law is visiting. It looks like I’m eating at maintenance and I’m going to try to track again today and not eat insanely at the Alamo drafthouse tonight 😑 their pb shake is sooo good and like three jillion calories.

Weekly Challenge Day: Thursday Tracking: Yes Calories: No Exercise: No I have a blistering headache and i think I’m out for the night. And the potatoes were really yummy.

Not going to lie, i was sliiiightly bummed that it wasn't a solid 2 lbs. but. i also had cookies last night. and an extra taco the other night. So we're going slow and steady instead of burn baby burn.

Exactly! And it's DEFINITELY Attainable! focusing on goals like this just helps keep the reason we're not eating the extra dessert or putting ourselves through new and difficult things in focus.

Weekly Challenge Day: Wednesday Tracking: Yes Calories: Yes Exercise: Yes - 60minute walk with Brody Omg this.

(also, @swauters, the no eating at a drive through is a really good goal. somedays i just really, really want wendys. it's terrible and yet... sigh)

aw, thanks for asking! my goals range from physical weight lost (i have it listed in % increments, and also a marker for when i'm a quarter, half, and 3/4 to goal) to being able to do something like walk up all three flights of stairs in my house without being winded, to actual time like i mentioned in my post - this month…

because you don't want to run to the bathroom all the time? :D

Weekly Challenge Day: Tuesday Tracking: Yes Calories: Yes Exercise: Yes - 17 minute walk with Brody and 25 min of yoga/stretching. easier night on my hips and i have my study-class thing happening so there's not a lot of extra time tonight. Couple things today: 1 - I hit my activity goal for may! I have a spreadsheet where…

Weekly Challenge Day: Monday Tracking: Yes Calories: Yes Exercise: Yes, 60 min walk with Brody :) Lots of steps today. Working on building up good habits! This week I’m trying to drink more water because I drink very little regularly.

Nothing fancy; I'm just doing CICO and trying to track every bitty thing. The hardest parts for me are planning my meals so my husband and I are using Hello Fresh for our dinners (which is only a touch more than we spend on groceries for the same amount of time, but with a lot less waste and more portion control). I also…

Onwards and upwards! We can do it :)

Weekly Challenge Day: Sunday Tracking: Yes Calories: Yes Exercise: Yes - Z25K in the morning, long walk with a friend in the evening. I had a couple off days so I checked the scale this morning to see how bad it was, and discovered that even though the days were off, I was still eating at or near maintenance, so that's a…

Yay! 👍

Hi Jasmine, there are a lot of different smoothie recipes on the boards and on the internet. Be careful with smoothies as the ingredient list can pack a whollop of calories (I avoid anything that adds juice, yogurt, and sweetners). Using a base like coconut water or Almond milk reduces calories. Often, I find it best to…

in the end, your health is your business. we want our spouses and partners to be in sync with us, but when they're not we have to go it alone. find a way to acknowledge his comments and respond with kindness, and then move on. For example a sarcastic "Hope you had fun" is acknowledged with I did have fun, or it was a hard…

Week 2, day 2 complete. It looks like I am having a lateral foot issue so i'm taking more than a day off between runs and doing RICE, yoga/swim on the non-run days. I'm going to go to the doctor and get some info from them, and go to a running store to have them check my stride etc. Still though, it was nice to get out and…

i tried 1200 calories for a couple weeks the last time i was trying to lose weight - it was really rough so kudos to you for keeping it up for 8 weeks! there was an article from MFP (i think) recently about someone upping their calories to help their weightloss. Might be something to consider?

I'm hitting perimenopause - fwiw i went on estrogen after two months of the hotflashes because i seriously couldn't handle what kind of a mean person i was turning into because i couldn't get a decent nights sleep due to the hot flashes, and then i'd be talking to someone at work and all of a sudden wanting to crawl out of…

Awesome!!
