Theres loads of Fun 5kms around I know of. The Color Runs, Zombie Survivor, ElecrtoDash, The Halloween Howl is a fun one - there have multiple options to choose from. Also MEC Offers some decently affordable ones as well though out the summer I believe.

I'm not running this race, but last year I did three 5KM Races: Color me Rad, Halloween Howl, & Run for the Cure. If the weather stays as it is now, I think you will not have to worry about Winter running, wear layers still, but make sure you can take off your sweater and tie it around your waist. BUT if it does get cold,…

The boss decided to do a last minute Xmas gathering ... and of course its going to be Sat the 7th. I guess count me out of this one.

I cant commit to the 14th .. Have 3 Birthdays to attend. IF the 7th works I Like the idea thats out there with bowling at Chinook and Boston Pizza works for me too!

Free on: 29th, or 30th of Nov. 6th or 7th or 8th Dec And open to anywhere, I can drive wherever. Someone mentioned doing something other than drinks/dinner. I am fully open to drinks and dinner. Bowling sounded like a good option, probably still include drinks, but a little more hand on and active.

Ever been to The Coup? It a vegetarian restaurant that is FABULOUS! I'm also g on more fresh local ingredients, places like Dairy Lane (West Hilhurst) & Farm (17th ave) are delicious. Another yummy spot is Cafe Koi downtown in Victoria Park area I Believe. Great spot for a date as they often have live music and its small…

Focus on putting more protein in your diet. Once I started to to that, I felt fuller for much longer. Also I choose to drink herbal tea often to keep myself busy & full of water, and chewing gum helps too (just to keep the mouth busy)

Ginger Coconut Yam Soup  1 Tetra pack of low sodium vegetable broth (equals 4cups)  1 Can of Coconut Milk  3 LARGE Yam  Some raw ginger – grated to taste (couple tablespoons worth)  Cinnamon to taste  Salt to taste  Pepper to taste  *Peanut Butter Optional to taste as well can be yummy 1. Bake Yams like a potato…

If we cannot do this 14/15th I'm okay doing something later. I cant do the 21/22 as that's Sled Island weekend and I'll be attending some of the shows. . I can do Friday the 28th weekend . Although that's the LONG weekend, maybe people are planning on being out of town?

Hudsons is a great spot! and theres a few of them to choose from! And yes you can make reservations there I know 100% 15th works best for me.

OH Bottlescrew Bills is pretty good and the Barley Mill too! Friday or Sat next weekend work well for me. Which is 15th or 16th.

How did I not know there was this Calgary Group on the Message Boards!! I would so be in for a drinks night. I'm basically downtown, so quite central to most places. Great spots: - Ship and Anchor, - the New National on 10th is pretty great, although extremely busy and hard to find a spot to sit most times. - Depending on…

Bump! - Ive heard of this before, going to have to try it out!

Just finished my first week of it! Day#3 was a bit easier for sure! BUT I'm scared to bump it up to the next level next time! Always looking for new friends and motivation

bump!! YUM

#1 Focus on Protein - it will fill you up without needing to eat lots of fillers/Sides Other things you can do, ask for dressing on the side or No Butter or Mayo on the Bread, or No Sauce. Have just water and Lemon - no Calories there - have a soda or juice can add 200CALS! IF I was going I would either Choose the…

- Grab some milk and do cereal at work. - Usually GO Lean Kashi - Lots of protein to keep me full. -Oatmeal is a great, add some raisins and nuts to it, keeps you going until Lunch easily! - An apple or banana or other serving of fruit along with some yogurt. -

Thanks for all the ideas! I ended up going with a Jack Daniels Chocolate Pecan Pie, which ended up being the hit of the party!!

bump - this is wonderful!

I dont count healthy sugars on the scale that MPF "suggests" Healthy sugars = Fruits and Veggies

Boil them instead of frying. Lowfat Sour Cream or even yogurt would be great!

I know plenty of girls who were in Boy-scouts growing up. They were allowed to join.

Its a mind thing. You've always thought one way, and seen one way. It will take time for your brain/mind to catch up with your physical changes. I have no idea how much time, but it will. Just keep the confidence up, amd it will all catch up with you.

YES! Make sure you take with food, to avoid an upset stomach. I usually take one with/after dinner. Maye you need to work more Fiber & Water into you diet it your "backed up" AND try a different brand name of a MultiV.

For the donations part - you can set up a website and have people donate to you through that. gofundme.com is a popular one. Ask your MFP Friends, you FB Friends, along with regular friends, family, & co-workers..

http://www.zumbacalories.com/ and just put in as your own calories/exercise

Just remember don't rely on the pills for too long! Keep up the good work!

There IS a different "other" beginning on the DVD. Where there is an introduction BEFORE You click on the 1st, 2nd or 3rd Routine where she mentions the weights and eating plan etc...

If its got caffeine I wouldn't count it as a full glass of water. I mean Coffee is "Mixed" with water, and we don't count that as a glass of water!

Just avoid going into the break room until they are all gone! That's what happened to me last week, with Cinnabuns. If you don't see them/smell them, its easier! OR Eat one BUT you HAVE to work out an extra 10 minutes for each one you eat!
