bump. seems to be a problem with the web site right at the moment - heavy traffic maybe?

I feel for you. I know exactly how you feel. I had that happen just the other week. I was running in my neighbourhood and was heading up a HILL in the HEAT and some kid walking past me starts oinking like a pig. I was perplexed. I couldn't imaging how on earth that he could think that I was lazy as a pig or fat as one? I…

ditto, but I use Mondays.....

What I notice the most is in the beginning you had a round face and now have such a beautiful heart face (and you're hair is just fine thank you very much!) What you have accomplished is the most precious gift you could ever give yourself. Well done!

okay mega day for me - huge salad at lunch - fresh, raw!!! I won't detail it - my diary is open - have at it! woo hoo - proud of myself :)

Okay so: breakfast - raspberries on cereal snack - smoothie with frozen blueberries & frozen mixed berries & half a banana lunch - baby carrots dinner - green peas & mixed veg - broccoli, cauli and I think there were a couple of other items (from frozen) I think I hit the quota, but somehow - I don't feel like I eat enough…

Monica, a couple of things. You're body could be creating a new "set" point. Since you've lost a fair bit of weight, you body needs to catch up and make a few adjustments to get used to this new weight. It's a big task to ask of your body! I personally think that's what happens to us when we plateau. Something you could…

I'm from Vancouver Island (Comox Valley) - just a West Jet flight away from Calgary! Add me if you like and anyone else who needs some friends. I've lost a couple due to various reasons. Glad you're here!

It's famous for being the Centre of the Universe!

Well done - congratulations!!! That is an excellent time. Obviously you did everything right - you were very conscious of what you needed to do to accomplish this goal.

yup, I fall into the category of work to live....even then I can't stand it.....it's boring and I just hate SITTING there!

Doesn't sound like good enough reasons to do it. Would he do something you're good at and ready to do and that he hated or despised doing? Pass, at least for now. You probably could do it, but given the circumstances, it could discourage you from running at all. Wait until YOU are ready!

Good job! I've signed up for one in the fall - it won't be my first Half, but it's been a few years. It's a nice distance to do!

Enjoy MFP much better. Spark people - I spent more time fiddling around with redundant things like spinning the wheel and trying to find out how to get more points. Well that's not the point! MFP is way easier and the focus is on US and helping each other out and we're here for a reason to get healthier and/or lose weight…

You're such a cutie! Now you really match your name. Well done - excellent job!

NO! why would you plan to eat JUNK food? that's a plan (recipe) for failure - there are plenty of other choices that are wiser and better and more nutritious. it's call JUNK food for a reason. Reward youself with something wholesome - try something new - you're worth it!

bump for sure :)

Just don't eat it. If you don't like it, you don't like it. Only the dairy industry says it's good for you (read $$)

this is sad :( but, I have a scar on the side of my right knee I got as a little kid. I was carrying a root beer bottle (yes they used to be in glass and it was home-made root beer too), anyways, it exploded and a piece of glass flew into leg. No stitches that I remember. Or there was the time I was maneuvering along the…

Only about 35 miles, but am cycling as well and just getting back into running again this year, plus I had injury I was recovering from

grateful I don't have to put anything cause Happy3333 is doing it all for me :) not that I have everything she does, but I'll be grateful for that too

me too! damn - stuck with the hippies

Anyone doing the Flagstaff Half in September? A friend wants me to do it (she's stronger runner, not too much faster). My last half was 2009 (just under 2 hours 40 minutes). I'm not sure I'm ready to train for that this year as I've just gotten back into running after various issues (injuries - not all running related). I…

Had something like this for dinner Sunday - I'll have to try it with the lemon & parmesan - keep forgetting about the garlic though - darn - next time

Happy Birthday! I exercise a fair bit too and lose it slowly as well as I tend to eat most of my exercise calories back (I just get so hungry after exercising). I find that keeping track of everything is really good motiviation and helps keep me accountable. So feel free to add me as a friend. It's wonderful to meet so…

You can add me. I'm an inch taller and started about that weight just over two years ago.

Hmmm 4.2 lbs. Spent two days driving about 10 hours each way to the Interior and back. Then on Saturday had only a soup for lunch and didn't get any dinner until late. Friday was Chinese, but I did eat about 80 - 90% vegetables - I know that doesn't seem to matter with Chinese food. Then Saturday was buffet - again made…
