  • Yo yo yo! Back again for my annual check-in. Things are crazy on my side, but good crazy. I recently started teaching two classes at a nearby community college in addition to my day job. All I can do to exercise 20-30 minutes Monday-Friday, but hanging in there! I'm looking at my post from November 2022 and giggling…

  • I've been on a 220 plateau for a minute now so I feel your pain friend. 30 pounds is amazing work. Keep at it and count the calories - it works. I used to log my exercises as well, so I had more realistic information about what I could eat for the day. I've since learned it's much better to just set the value and leave it…

  • @tquindt01 The tip on potassium salt is useful, I'll have to look into that. I'm taking Losartan HCL myself but I could have gotten off awhile ago as my blood pressure is a nonfactor these days. I will likely have my new GP re-evaluate come next year. @SPT5687 that's quite a strong cut; I remember the days between 220 and…

Last night before bed, I came back. I came back here, really, because it was where this all began and I wanted to try to capture…

  • Hi running friends! Just checking in. It’s been a minute. I’m still doing good and hope you are too; sitting strong at 17% body fat and 220; same exact stat line I had at 198.5 over 5 months ago 😂

  • I guess I forgot to log any of my weight for the last 6 weeks. I seem to have struck a plateau on weight loss, but I think because I did the half-marathon at the beginning of May, I really had to cut back on the cardio intensity and I've been gaining muscle mass pretty consistently. It's hard to tell, but I don't think I'm…

  • Welcome @mrmota70 and @runner_girl83! I haven't been as active in the forums the past month; I took a job in Virginia and am closing on a house in Chester next week, so getting the California condo ready to be a month-to-month rental through AirBnB has been a full-time job in itself. We found a leak in the ceiling of our…

  • I meant to stop by to tell this group that I did my first 5k race at the beginning of April with my doggo (she got doggy 1st place, I got 3rd). It was a lot of fun! I'm nervous because I'm doing my first half-marathon on Sunday and I'm recovering from a weird bronchitis thing. Anyway, the cut-off time in 3.5 hours and thus…

    in Question about running and dull ache in diaphragm/abs Comment by atrgemini March 2022
  • @gradchica27 I think it was likely this! The pain has been gone for awhile now. It was a weird occurrence for sure. I figured out that running with my dog was ultimately doing something to that region because of the torque applied when I have to pull her; I've since made a conscious effort to adjust my technique and I'm…
