I'd rather have a well trained horse. I have 6 kids and a husband; I have all the training work I need already, lol!

Bananas and fig newton bars for during longer rides, and something like chocolate milk, muscle milk, or some other inexpensive protein shake afterwards. And protein for dinner.

You are so inspiring! The whole group is, really! Good job on setting goals and reaching them!

My favorite thread of the day! Well done!

Everyone responds to pregnancy differently. It definitely CHANGES women, not just during pregnancy but afterwards as well. It's a little bit...sophomoric to assume that since the OP's body responded to pregnancy one way then everyone's should. We're all different. The OP should have just posted a thread that was more…

Everyone has the right to post about topics that matter to them. Obviously, the OP here is getting off on pointing out other people's spelling mistakes, rather than realizing that her perspective isn't the only valid one around here. If you don't like reading about other people's 'minor' concerns, then don't read the…

LASIK, the best money I've spent on 'me'. I still wear sunglasses all the time, but the difference is miraculous! I found that I'm so much more willing to try to do things; cycling, running, etc. now that I don't have to worry about losing my glasses and being blind until I get to see my eye doc! Congratulations on your…

Hi! I just started cycling too. I'm still going through the numb toes, fingers, and...ahem!~ phase, but a lot of it I'm told has to do with getting used to riding and learning how to shift. I found that clips and the proper shoes really make a difference in power. Right now I'm averaging 13 mph, and I'm only about able to…

I don't give any of Dr. Oz's recommendations much consideration. He contradicts himself too much, and seems too eager to jump on the latest fad.

Congratulations! Keep up the great work; you're adding years to your life!

I think you look great! Wear it!

Great results~!

Your profile mentions that you love to bike (cycle?). Perhaps you could integrate a cycling program with your desire to run? Cycling is lower impact and easier on your joints. I second the suggestion to use the C25K program if you decide to run. It mixes walking and running to help you build up your endurance. Suggestion…

Hey PU_239.... they're not married. They're NOT MARRIED. It's okay for her to leave. This isn't about divorce; this is about getting away from a jerk who isn't going to EVER be husband material.

You know what the problem is; the so-called boyfriend. Not the friend, not the pills, not even the landlord. You know how to fix this. Get rid of him or leave. But you don't want to do this for whatever reason you have. So it seems apparent that you somehow are being 'fulfilled' by this relationship. It's your choice. You…

Tears of joy! He's a keeper! What a good man!

WOW! You've done that in 4 months? You are my weight & fitness hero! Keep up the inspiring work; you're doing great!

Your gift comes with a caveat; lose weight and I'll give you money to buy sexy clothes. Then I want to see you in them. Unless you are in a romantic relationship with this woman then this is completely inappropriate. Especially coming from a guy who says he wants to be a cop. She needs to be self-motivated.

Protein and iron helps, and take a rest day. Seriously. On Saturday sleep in, rest, take a nap. Remember that this is only for a season of your life. Best wishes to you.

I'm so sorry about your son. You know, as well as I do, that he's looking to go be with the 'fun' parent. The one who lets him do whatever he wants and doesn't hold him accountable, yet for the last 11 years you've been the one taking care of and LOVING him! That betrayal cuts deep, and I completely understand. Even if…

Look at all these wonderful things you wrote on your profile page: About Me 33 stay at home wife. have a wonderful man who works hard to feed his family. Why I Want To Get In Shape summer wedding hopefully next summer to feel good about my own body to be healthy again wear size 12 pants again My Inspirations my puppy gizmo…

You are my new fitness hero! Your story blessed me today. I pray God blesses you and helps you to be an inspiration to the kids you work with and those around you.

Did you, OP, seriously expect that ANYONE on MFP would say: "Hey! This obesity thing is great! I wish more people were fat! Whoo hoo! Let's go get some Ho-ho's and a milkshake!" ~? :noway:

Oh my goodness! I think everyone who kept at it all 10 weeks is a winner! Good job!

OP you are a GOOD friend. Those who say you should stay out of it are full of *kitten*. Hold him to the fire; he has a child and he did the right thing by marrying the mom. Now it's time to grow up. Learn some morals and be a good husband, good father, and good friend. Everyone who says he should go find someone who 'makes…

Gosh, first time poster... when you find that magic food let me know! We'll go into business together and make a million! *grins* There are no shortcuts.

Family can SUCK. They all don't, but the ones who do are really stinkers. Your 'real' family are the friends who rally around you, support you in your struggles, tell you when you're scr*wing up, and cheer you on in your successes. Those other people? They're just related to you.

Great work! And the haircolor is gorgeous! You did wonderfully! Thank you for the motivation!
