Looking for some new friends...I need to update my list as a few no longer log at all....so they need replacing! Sounds like life - things move on :)

I want to lose a bit more than that (about 35)....some of it is a repeat performance like everyone else lol...but there you go...feel free to add me as well :)

Definately not. Always warm up first. If you really feel like you want to do something, then try a walk for about 5 minutes and do some gentle/mild stretching, but the bulk of your stretching should be done after when the muscles can tolerate it. Imagine this, bend some spaghetti when it's dry or bend the spaghetti when…

Crickets in my yard.....(through a closed window no less)!

Request sent. Anyone else who's looking for more friends can add me, I also have a Fitbit for those who have one.. darn....need spell check

That's a difficult question to answer. I had a black lab who was quite passive (kind of the nature I think) and then had a border collie who lived to be 17 1/2 who we had to put down earlier this year (very traumatic). The border collie was a brilliant dog who did EVERY-thing with us. She was exceptionally smart, loving,…

my right hand

Here's a movie you might want to watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zD8e4Mg3NFU Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead... It speaks for itself. He also has a web site: http://www.rebootwithjoe.com/ I'll let you watch it and decide for yourself.

I've had my Fitbit Flex since the end of June. It's helped my motivaton a lot! Add me if you like. I'm always looking for additional friends :) oops: //www.fitbit.com/user/26PVZ5

Definately like the "new and improved" model!

ditto

Tandoori chicken, baked potatoe & peas :)

Friend request sent - the more the merrier!!

I agree, sending through a friend request....

I agree with the others....go to the gym - more variety. Plus you can always stop your membership if you move for example or want to try another gym (whatever), but that treadmill would have to go with you and who gets to move it? Plus the treadmill loses it's value like a car.....the minute you take if off the lot.....you…

Glad you're on board, but do be careful as these things do take time to heal - especially as we get older (hate saying that that word). If you want to hook up with any friends, feel free to add me...

Haven't been running much - maybe once a week..

Um, maybe we all wouldn't be overweight/obese, whatever, if we all didn't try to freshen up what we're really trying to say (don't get me wrong - I don't mean people should be saying things in a hateful manner). Maybe we really need to hear those words no matter that we may feel hurt by them. I've had people say things to…

You look absolutely FABULOUS. Definately an inspiration. Thank you for sharing!

That top looks WAY better on you now! Great job!!

Also watch some of the foods that you're selecting. You chose a hard boiled egg - but there is no protein attached. If you choose a MFP food (items w/out astericks) you'll notice that their listing for an egg has 17 g of protein. I try to make sure the foods I'm selecting are very accurate - fussy, yes, but I know I'm…

You don't need to run a 10k, especially if it doesn't interest you. I had initially lost about 35 lbs by watching my diet and then working out 3 times a week for an hour each session. We did all sorts of things from running a couple of laps around a gym (warm up) to tossing medicine balls, skipping is a good one,…

Why does there have to be food involved? Just spend time with her, go shopping maybe, have just a cup of tea, go to a movie, go for a walk. It's her special day, make her feel special by celebrating her and her life and that you are sisters!

I love this! So how about: "F" off Get a real job I see you take longer breaks than you actually work No wonder you never get any work done - you talk all day (co-workers, spouse, facebook, etc) Why don't you try working today? I know - not very imaginative - but very real none the less!

Mid/north Vancouver Island. It seems even later here cause in the summer there's still some light in the sky at 10 pm!!

I've been wearing them all year for my summer trail running. They've been fine. I live on the east coast of Vancouver Island (Comox Valley) and have been using them anywhere from simple dirt trails to billy goating up the sides of trails (read rock), mtn bike trails and along logging roads. No issues at all - you can…

Starting weight: 171.8 Today: 168.2 Loss: 3.6 pounds Illness takes the credit......

I'm 5'6" currently hovering in the low 170's. Goal - anywhere in in the mid 160's and stabilized. I want to tone/muscle up more than anything right now I'd like to use this challenge more for incentive to keep active instead of hibernating. I have difficulties with the loss of sunlight (energy), but I really enjoy the…

I've been taken over by aliens - they're making me type this: I'm in! OMG!! Starting weight: ~170lbs Goal weight: ~155lbs Ultimate weight: ~145 lbs I'm scheduled for a Half Marathon in 3 weeks (not my first). My weight's been creeping back up and the clothes are fitting a bit tighter. Summer is not a good time for me - I…

I'm running a Half with a new runner in about a month and we will be running 9/1. I don't believe you'd be any faster, but you sure won't be much slower. I think you can come away from a race with a lot more energy (less draining) and less likelyhood of any injuries with having the slight break. Depending what you do -…
