Thanks Gayle! I agree, running burns a ton of calories. I'm half way through my training and I have noticed a change in my speed since I started, about 6 weeks ago. I'm not really looking to reach a certain time (minute/mile), although, it would be great to beat the time from my first 1/2, even if it's only a minute. I'm…

^^ That is awesome! Congratulations Holly!!

Thanks Holly!!

Welcome! I'm on day 12! One of the biggest things I've found very helpful with 21 Day Fix is portion control.

I haven't tried any of the workout dvd's yet. I was wondering if it would be too much. I'm training for a half marathon (it's April 3) and I've been running3-4 times a week with one rest day, one stretch and strength day, and one cross training day(which I usually spin or walk). So, what would you guys do? Skip the dvd's…

I could smack myself right now. I completely forgot to write down my starting weight when I started, which was on Feb 1. UGH! AND, I did not take any measurements! Guess I could start from today? Way to go you two!^^

Awesome job soummer!

Thanks Holly! Nearing the end of day 2 and I'm hanging in there. My work schedule is crazy and I think I'm doing okay so far trying to get in everything, well, almost everything. Dunkin Donuts iced coffee and I have had a VERY personal relationship for about 4 months. Two days without an iced coffee...taking one day at a…

Thanks for sharing Holly. I have everything for this recipe except the veggie broth. I'll definitely try this one!

Morning guys! Sorry I was MIA yesterday. I'm doing the same thing Holly is with MFP/21DayFix and adjusting my calories to what 21DayFix(21DF) suggests. Today is my first day on 21DF. :-)

Hi everybody! My name is Betsy. I just received the 21 Day Fix program in the mail and plan to start this weekend. I started reading over the materials and became a little overwhelmed so I'm going to give it another read tonight. I've been using MFP for about 4 years now and I find it very helpful in tracking what I eat…

Short term: I just recently decided to enter my first triathlon this summer. Long term: I will be 50 in 2015 and I will be as determined as heck to look and feel fabulous!

This song carried me through my half marathon training! LOVE IT!

There is no rule on how long you should wait before you defriend someone for thier lack of activity on MFP. It's your MFP account, so whatever you feel is appropriate to keep you going/motiviated and successful. I usually give them a few months. But that is just my own personal preference. :-)

YES! What MrsV1983 said! Have fun!

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for your post. I am in TOTAL agreement with you....your run is your run, your time is your time, which is great by the way. Those who say you should be running faster, shame on them! Is there some definition in the dictionary somewhere that specifically says how fast you need to run? NO! :-)…

I'm with you Nikibean, I need to stay in time with the music :-) I love Britney's WB, every time it comes up on my playlist I run faster. Appreciate all your suggestions!

I will check out spotify. Thanks~!

Thank you for sharing your journey. You have done an amazing job! I've been using MFP for over 2 years now and I'm at a standstill with my weight. It's very discouraging for me right now, but, knowing that I'm not alone in this fight for health will keep me going and will give me the courage and strength to stay focused.…

Hi! I see you originally posted this back in February. Sorry, but I'm just seeing it now. I'm going to be 48 next month and I'm going through the "no pain-no gain" process, slowly but surely! I'll send you a friend request. :-)

Anything is possible! I will be looking forward to next week's show.

I need to bump this! :-)

That is an incredible transformation in only 19 days! Congratulations!

WOW! Great job on your weight loss! I'm very dedicated to MFP and always trying to put my best foot forward towards a healthy lifestyle. Friend request coming at ya! :-)

I agree with WoodWardtm. It's how I started to log calories burned until I bought a Polar FT7 HRM. Best purchase I ever made!

I enjoyed reading your story. Congratulations on your weight loss! "Commitment-Discipline-Consistency-Faith-and most of all-Heart!" I'd add one more word to that because you definitely showed it....DETERMINATION!

I've been logging over 570 days. I consider myself very dedicated and committed to MFP as it has been a tremendous help in my choice to live a more healthy lifestyle. I try my best to encourage and motivate my MFP pals. If you are as committed as I am feel free to add me. :drinker:

CHOCOLATE COVERED CASHEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They always see me coming and invite me to a party!

An HRM is the most accurate, though. I have one and I love it!
