Can I join?

But is it organic?

Didn't know there was one in my neighborhood. Going today. Apparently, I dont get out much. My daughter's college swim coach put her on Cliff bars which I am not happy about cause they are so high in sugar. I asked if the athletic nutritionist was aware that she has an issue with too much sugar. She said yes but that is…

Chicago IL suburb. I went LCHF in February of this year to force/encourage my husband to lose weight and get his diabetes under control. He fought me at first, but now that he sees huge improvement, he is totally on board. I am an endurance athlete (half marathons, marathons and triathlons) so I am constantly getting carb…

My husband went from A1c of 10.7 to 7.7 in 4 months on this WOE and he fought me for the first 2 months and made me feel like this WOE was total deprivation He is now mostly on board. His meds are 1/4 from start point and he is losing weight. His starting A1c was 14.7 which really scared me. His other numbers are also…

Great challenge. Can't wait for the next one.

8 lbs. My husband and I are on week 7. I lost that last stubborn 5 lbs. I also lost the extra 3 lbs. I put on before I started. My husband has lost 2 lbs.

I started training for a half marathon 3 weeks ago (an 8 week training plan) and I started on lchf 5 weeks ago. I have been concerned with the long run. I am a pacer and need to maintain the pace for the group. lucky for me there is a nutritonist and a lchf dieter who does lchf for health reasons in my group. I have been…

Almost all of the doctors I have had contact with want to give a drug/medication for everything. They want to treat symptoms. Example, my daughter was experiencing awful upper and lower GI issues. The doctor gave her all sorts of medications for the symptoms and never sought to find out the cause. I did my investigation…

Thanks for the feedback. I do believe you each hit the nail on the head. He watched his father go through difficult years due to his uncontrolled diabetes. So he knows what can happen. His stroke last year scared him but that was soon forgotten. The huge concern is that he will have mini strokes and as we tell him he will…

I'm training for a half marathon. I had a 12 week plan, got sick, got better, got sick, got better. Now I have a 7 week plan. No PR for me, my plan is to just finish happy.

This sounds fun. Can I join?

me too!!

I'm told by my personal trainer that my exercise is not the problem, but it is what I eat. I eat well most of each day except Sunday. I am eliminating the bad snacks and planning to get in enough protein to keep the hunger down. This should be easy, February is only 28 days. I tell myself that I can do anything for 28…

I used to love the treadmill. This last year I have spent less time on the treadmill. It has become difficult for me too. But this winter I am doing treadmill and my bike on a trainer. Here is what I do. I will do a treadmill workout that the YMCA running coach has given the group. Or, I will do a workout programmed into…

I used the Iron Girl 12 week training plan. I found it on-line when I signed up for the Iron Girl sprint tri in Pleasant Prairie WI. As I was riding my biking this am, I was thinking that I didn't need to start until February for a May Tri. Right now I'm building strength and working on technique. My goal this year is to…

Chicago suburb here. My daughter goes to school in Packer country.

I'm still a newbe triathlete. I did my first in 2013. I'm planning for a May triathlon. Feel free to add me.

feel free to add me.

I thought 2013 would be the year to lose the last lbs. 5'4" got to 124. Now back to 135. Stress and too much dessert has been my downfall. love turning the calendar as it is a great time to restart and refocus. so now 2014 is my year to lose the last lbs and get to maintenance. what a lovely word "maintenance".

I've sent you a friend request.

Hi, I'm Karen. I've been running since 2004. I signed up for a half marathon on April 6 in Springfield, IL just to keep me motivated through the winter. I'm not sure what I want to do this year.

You can add me. I remember when I started on this site. I would regularly see KayNagel has no friends.It was so sad.

You can add me. My goal is to eat 2000 to 2200 calories a day. I am currently set at 1800.

I have used half marathons to increase my weight loss. First, I would recommend that you do your homework by reading running magazines or checking out runners websites and reading up on running and nutrition. That being said, you need to make sure you hydrate sufficiently before and after your runs. You alse need to refuel…

I am an endurance athlete and am looking for a few friends. You may send me a friend request. I am currently training for an Ironman 70.3 in June. This will be my first at that distance. I completed my first triathlon in 2009, it was a sprint. I have my sight set on an Ironman in October. These triathlons scare me. I am…
