Sorry I haven't checked in in a while ladies, I'm looking forward to reading this thread tomorrow and catching up! Keep it up everyone!

Hi Ladies! I'd like to join the challenge! I'm a 24yr old MFPer who's used this fabulous community to successfully lose 60lbs and train for a half marathon. However, for the last 12 months I've let my eating be a little more 'lax' and I've really only maintained my weight (despite working out at least 3x a week, how…

You're a totally different person! Awesome job :)
-
Great results so far! You can do it!
-
good tip! I'll have to try it!
-
Sounds like a good treat!
-
Great goal! I have a similar story. Try signing up for 10K run that is 2-3 months away. That will give you plently of time to slowly increase your distance and then you'll be on track for a longer distance. Congrats!

Awesome job! Loved reading your blog posts--I'm the same height with "small bones" down from 220 to 160. You are totally inspiring that I can finish this journey and lose those last few pounds

The first time I had a personal training session I couldn't raise my arms above my waist for three days. So I understand what you're going through! That was no fun. I've eventually come to the conclusion that a little soreness is a good thing, but a lot of soreness is just demoralizing. So if I'm really sore I try to go…

great job!

I recently went rock climbing with friends at an indoor rock climbing place on a Friday night...tons of fun and a great upper body workout
-
WOW! You are a totally different person now, great job
-
A tip that has helped me is to drink a low or no calorie drink when I think I'm hungry at the end of the day....sparkling water, decaf coffee or tea. Then, evaluate in 10-15 minutes if you're still hungry
-
I too have had many of thos learning experiences....but at least now we know that was NOT a 'normal' sized lunch.
-
YES! and drink lots of water the next day. You need a cheat day every once in a while so you don't feel deprived
-
The key to my success: I focused on one small change each week....I took it one step at a time At first it was simply counting calories, not changing my eating at all, just being AWARE of what I ate then I substituted....brown rice instead of white, whole wheat bread, making my own salad dressings etc. then more veggies…
-
wow that is a difference! great job
-
bump....sounds good for summer backpacking!
-
try using you're measurements as a metric as well. I try to measure myself every 2 weeks. Losing inches is just as rewarding as pounds.....or so I tell myself :)

I love split pea soup-especially all the fiber and protein. I add garlic and sprinkle the top of the soup with paprika and a little drizzled olive oil.

bump, I'm running my first 10K in April--I've done 5Ks but this will be a fun challenge.

It is great portion control, perfect with a low-cal salad for lunch or a I-don't-feel-like-cooking dinner. I eat 1 or 2 a week. That being said, due to the sodium content and how "processed" the meats are I prefer to cook myself when I can and then eat the leftovers for lunch the next day.
-
great job!

one suggestion would be to make sure you have a low maintaince hair cut or hair style that's post-workout friendly. Although I normally flat iron and style my hair...after an evening workout I just take a quick shower and let it air dry
-
Interesting suggestion! I have a note taped to my computer chair at work that says "sit up!" and it really helps me!
-
congrats! Your waist is really well-defined now! Keep it up
-
I wish this was my problem :bigsmile:

I feel exactly the same way! I am trying to not beat myself up over not being a 5AM workout person, and instead embracing the evening
