Yes, it's possible! I try and eat clean with no supplements (other than my nutrition when I'm bike riding). Check out my diary... let me know if you have specific questions.

I'm 5'7 1/2 and my goal is 135. I got down to 132 and now am up to 142... I'm ok with whatever the scale says, but I've definitely put on some extrra lbs that are not muscle, so that's not good!

Wanted to make sure as many people as possible see this. Glad you went to the ER and will be ok!

Thanks - I will get myself to a running store this weekend! Yes, I tried to take the easy way out and do research online, but not sure why I'd chance it with such a risky injury.

I'm training for a 50 mile bike ride in June. Usually do a longer ride of 20-25 miles on the weekend and try and ride 10-15 two times during the week.

Thanks! Yes, I think I get a lot of what I need from food - you can check out my diary and let me know what you think. I agree that 50 miles isn't that long so I wasn't sure if I was getting info that was over the top. I will investigate the Hammer products though, thanks!

I would turn off the alarm setting! I'm not a doctor, but I'd say it's totally fine to be between 155-165, that's what mine usually is when I run. It should get better with time - it's definitely harder for me to get my HR up as I high as it used to go.

Very interesting!

Thanks! There's so much info out there I'm not sure what to go by. I will pass on the salt. The EFS thing looks ok and it has salt in it, so maybe that will be enough. I will look up the Hammer products and definitely test everything before the race.

Interesting info... I'm currently training for a 50 mile bike race and also lifting. I try to ride 3x a week and to lift 3x a week. Perhaps I will dial the lifting back to 2x and make sure to take a real rest day and not an active one of yoga, since I am more focused on the bike race right now. This could be why I have…

I don't totally fit what you're looking for, but feel free to look at my diary. I don't know if it's considered high cal or mod carb, but it's def low dairy (just cut out the yogurt, which is a new addition for me), and it is relatively clean.

Yeah, I made this tonight!! Made them as cupcakes. Only used 1 stick of butter and half the amount of pretzels. Didn't use all the pb cookie dough either (just the way it worked out) and used a smaller size Reese's. According to my calculations, each brownie cupcake is 396 calories, which honestly I don't think is that bad…

Thanks! I will use the pre-cooked weight to be on the safe side. It's just not something I ever thought of!

I've tried them and they seem to be good! When you hit a sore spot and stay on it, it's that 'good' hurt. I would like to know when is the proper time to use them - after every workout or only certain times?

I echo what others have said about finding one that will match the style you respond to (ie, some people like positive reinforcement, others like negative). I'd also add to not be afraid to tell them exactly what you are looking for - so if you want to focus on certain things like being able to run faster or do more push…

YES - this is what I meant by 'ropes' - looks like it might be easy, but it's super hard!! And I forgot to add burpees to my list but for some reason he doesn't make me do them that often. As for lunges and squats, NO, I cannot go any lower!

I drink it although I don't like it. Try adding cinnamon to it to mask the taste a bit.

I totally agree - my trainer knows when I hate something and of course makes me do it all the time. And I have gotten better!! My list includes: jump pullups (the bar is toooo high for me - why can't I just stand on something to get the bar?) mountain climbers lunges with your back leg up on a bench the rope is a total…

Mine is open. I'm struggling to eat 1720+ with exercise, but 1200+ is no problem!

It's hard to say what size I am as each brand is so different. I just bought a size 4 skirt and jacket at White House Black Market and I'm 5'8 and 138. I have some 2's from other stores, and 6's from other ones. They are so inconsistent!

You're awesome!!! I love all the pictures, wish I had more, but least I've been taking them more recently.

I'm 5'8 and just upped my calories to 1720 from 1440. My current weight is 141 and goal is 132, but I'd be happy with 140 if my smaller clothes fit and I lowered my bf/didn't have the extra weight around my stomach.

I'm always looking for new workouts too!

Me too!! I have learned I can spare the 15 calories for a Life Saver... I think I will have one now!

Great job! I haven't had diet coke in 10 months now and honestly don't miss it at all! I used to only drink about a glass a day, so not a ton, but I'm happy that I was able to cut it out completely from my diet. It does get easier as time goes on. Now coffee on the other hand... was able to give that up for 6 weeks, but…

It is the most delicious thing I've ever tasted!! I won't let myself buy a jar of it though, as I didn't think it was the best thing health-wise. I've gotten used to the fresh ground almond butter as an alternative to peanut butter.

I don't love my Nike+ sensor as I don't think it's too accurate, but it's ok if you take it with a grain of salt. I will look into downloading the Nike+ GPS. Does anyone know how that compares to the Map My Run app?

Thanks!
