I could handle running a challenge -- what do you ladies want to see? Exercise goals? Calorie goals? Just general support? Let me know and I'll set something up. Personally, I'm running a 5K on New Year's Eve... so I am setting training goals left and right. Give me some feedback and I'd be happy to get it up and running!

I drank only slimfast for four days - disgusting and I hated every moment, but it did get some more weight off. Also tried 8 zillion different diets at different points in my life -- finding it MUCH easier to stick to MFP, though!

I feel like all I've done in my entire life is career-related self-improvement, but it hasn't gotten me anywhere. Actually, this is actually quite a sensitive topic for me, because knowing what I do now, I feel like if I could go back and do it all over again, I would probably have just skipped college and gotten a job -…

Drink Gatorade Recovery afterwards -- it's got tons of protein, electrolytes and tastes awesome! :) Also, in terms of preparing, just get a good night's sleep - you'll do great!

I'm in the same boat, and have been eating gluten free for a month now - I love it! I feel better, I look better, and weight that previously just WOULDN'T come off, is coming off pretty quickly! My energy levels, too, are THROUGH THE ROOF... I hope you have as much of a positive reaction from your body as I did! :) Feel…

Hey Gill, I'll friend you as well, but I just wanted to say you're not alone! I'm gluten free to start, and as I do more testing, I'll probably have to add more allergies to the list... at least we can commiserate! :) Emily

Stress has worked different ways at different times in my life. Generally, stress makes me eat like a fiend ... BUT, the thinnest I've ever been was when I had lost my job, was struggling to make ends meet and couldn't quite make sense of my world. I guess it's a perspective thing - stress is ALWAYS harmful, whether I'm…

Previously I did a lot of crying, but I have to admit that I remind myself when I think of taking a day off that I have teammates to consider! This challenge is so motivating! Also, I firmly believe that "tomorrow is another day" ... if you can't fix it today by working out, then just take the bad day and do better…

I use Under Armour cold weather gear - but buy them TIGHT because they still slip off my behind sometimes! :)

I'm in for 50 miles this month! What a great idea! :)

Well done! I think people posting these success stories is part of why this site works so well! To see that dramatic loss is so inspiring! I'm going to have to go watch that documentary now... :)

If you were alone, there wouldn't be so many of us on this site! The hard part about the initial realization that makes us cry is that it seems like it happened overnight, but we know it will take a while to reverse it. BUT, instead of punishing yourself, reward yourself for every positive step you take! Set your goals…

This question honestly would have been WAY harder for me to answer 4 weeks ago, but since finding out about my gluten allergy, a lot of things that tempt me are completely out of the question! Cakes, pies, bread ... even stuffing and most gravies and glazes for the turkey are all off limits. This is sad for me as it will…

In Regards to a healthier lifestyle (diet and fitness) What is something new that you have tried since you started your journey that worked for you (i.e. planning meals, a new type of exercise, a reward system)? AND what is something new that you would LIKE to try moving forward that you maybe have not had the time or…

Does it have to be from a running store? I have TONS of cute headbands from Target/Walmart/TJ Maxx/etc. that are fleece-lined and keep my ears toast when I run! Also, I highly recommend these: http://www.hammacher.com/Product/72714?source=CMPSHOP&cm_ven=FROOGLE They are simple, comfortable, and they don't slide off your…

I hope so! I'll only get to be sexy in TWO so everyone stick with it so that I can have another SIX weeks! You ladies are an inspiration - thanks for letting me join in! :)

I just got my bloodwork back and it was negative for the antibody that signals Celiac disease. My doctor encouraged me to stay GFree for at least 3 months, though, to completely rule out the allergy because it doesn't always match the blood test! I thought it would be hard to cut out the grains, but actually a lot of the…
