I believe much of it depends on your level of activity. If you are working out/running/excerising daily, then you probably could stand to go higher then even 100g. I typically eat about 150-180g a day, but then again I traditionally run about 5 miles and do quite a bit of movement during the day. I have never been someone…

Great job everyone, and a really big congrats to the ladies of our group, because by % we had more women then men complete the challenge. I could not be more proud of the work we put in this month, and really want to thank all of you for digging in and giving your best. In the end the challenge was much more about pushing…

As a true Bama fan, I will actually be cheering for the GameCocks this weekend myself. I hope you all beat Auburn by 30+, and the way they play defense against the running game, it's a possibility. RTR... give em hell Alabama!

When you are ready to talk about some real football, i.e. Alabama Crimson Tide football, please repost and I will be happy to clue you in...lol. Enjoy the soccer my friend. Roll Tide!

Today I will go over 100 miles run for the month of September. I didn't know if I could do it or not, but I pushed myself everyday, and the journey was truly rewarding!

Sorry, I shouldn't have made that a personal comment towards you. It's just such an outlandish comparasion that I have always thought was narrow minded. Again my apologies, as you were just stating your thoughts on the matter. We're allowed to disagree... heck that's one of the best things about being an American.

As someone who had smoked for nearly 15 years, and has maintained an athletic body for most of those years, I will say it is probably a viable alternative to drinking. I will also say that the stigma of it robbing your motivation and making you lazy is true as well. If you're a casual user (1-2 times weekly), then really…

Great running man, wow, over 100miles already. I need to log my run from today, but I put in another 6 miles, so I should be right on pace to finish with my 100 by Thursday. Thanks again to everyone who has participated and stayed with it the whole time. Jason

That type of "diet"is all smoke and mirrors, and you're absolutely right about one thing. If he doesn't get on a healthy eating pattern, and start incorporating exercise into his routine, then it DEFINATELY won't last. -- As a guy I can vouch that we lose it easier, it's true, but maintaining that loss is a whole different…

It is perfectly natural, and will happen on occassion. Stay the course, don't do anything drastic, and you'll be back to posting the numbers you want in no time.

My maintain number is 2500 calories a day (without exercise calories), and I have actually continued to lose. Now each metabolism is different, but I haven't found the calorie numbers from MFP to be too high. Candidly however, it's been very hard for me to eat 2500 calories a day, plus I pound out about 600 calories in…

Eye of the Tiger....Of course! :tongue: If it worked for Rocky, then it has to work for me!

Skinny Cow ARE amazing... and only 150 calories. Eat the strawberry shortcake if you go that route, as they are simply great.
-
Go get yourself an icecream, heck I eat one EVERY day, and if you are smart about it that is perfectly fine. I recommend blue bunny ice cream sandwiches, which only have 100 calories and 2gs of fat. Now that is LIVING!!! Enjoy your icecream my friend.
-
I can understand your concerns, but increasing your calorie intake to healthy levels will not make you gain the weight back, of this I am sure. Now in the immediate you may notice a little increase, but that is because you've basically been putting your metabolism on standby (or turning it off), so it will take an…

That isn't anywhere close to accurate. I ate a 8oz top sirloin for lunch, and it was 475-495 calories, so there is no way it was 1100 calories unless there was some type topping with it.

I think I may see your first problem :) Try going to tickerfactory.com, and then you will just enter your data, copy the source code provided, and copy this into your signature on MFP. Send me an email if you need more instruction. Thanks, Jason

Just a quick update here: For everyones benefit it appears one of the easiest way to track your progress, and also allow others to know how you are progressing, is to go to tickerfactory.com and build yourself a mile tracker. It only takes about 2-3 mins, and once you add it to your signature it will update automatically…

Well everyone, we've become a pretty large group here, which is FANTASTIC! I believe there is strength in numbers, and we've assembled quite a support group, so we're well on our way to a great month. Okay here's the deal; our goal is 100 miles this month, and all you are required to do is give your best everyday. You best…
-
Great job my friend, and great post. The scales don't matter nearly as much when it is a lifestyle change, and not just a mad dash to a certain number, and that's what you've had here! Some people are only worried about "losing weight" and yeah I can understand that, but in the end it's about a new life, and a new…
-
Awesome post!
-
I think we all want results yesterday, that's just human nature I suppose, but the important thing to remember is that getting healthy is a life decision, not a one or two week committment. I like to remind myself that I didn't get out of shape in one or two months (thankfully), so I am not going to be able to get into the…

[/quote] Hi Jason, Is it running only or can we use run/walk? [/quote] I didn't use the quote function correctly, so whoever asked the above question, here's the answer: We won't discreminate on the walkers of the group, so run/walk is perfectly fine =) I am excited to see how many willing participants there are, this is…
-
This confirms that you too are human, so no worries. Off days happen, just like bad decisions happen, the main thing is to not make a habit of it. No need in beating yourself up for what has already happened, instead get back to the basics this week, and work your butt off. You'll drop the weight, and you'll be proud of…

Any great journey begins with your first step, and today you're taking that step. Congratulations! Referencing the influnce of your husband, I can completely understand how you feel, because I am the same bad influence for my wife at times. Well to be completely honest we're both guilty of it, but here's something you need…
