I need to lose 50-60. Looking for friends too!

I just turned 28, does that count? I have 60 to lose and need all the support I can get too. I'll add

Same here!

I'm in the Boston area. Happy to friend and provide support!

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.

I've never even heard of it but it looks cool if it works. Let us know how it goes!

I totally feel the same way. Even though the scale and the measuring tape show changes, I just still feel the same. I spend so long battling my self image of being "fat" that it is hard to be comfortable with the idea of being smaller. I feel as if one day I'll wake up and be somehow be my big self again. Just keep at it.…

I just know I don't like the sound proofing earbuds because they block out tooooo much external noise. You want some noise to get through so you can know if there is a car, person trying to pass you, or whatever. I also find that with those type I hear a lot of "thump" noises from the cord bouncing around while running. I…

bump, sounds like a good Thanksgiving recipe!

bump - I need to start preparing!!!

Cooking light had a table on this. According to them, Reese's are the worst and Laffy Taffy is the "best". I think the analysis compared sugar and fat

I just finished C25K this past week with my last 30 min run around 2.7 mi. For my last 2 runs I have been doing 3.3 mi in preparation for my first 5K which is next weekend. The program is truly amazing. When I started, I hadn't exercised in a good 4-6 months. It is also amazing the way your body transforms and I feel like…

Je suis Americaine mais je parle francais. J'habitais en Montreal pour 4 ans pour l'universite mais je n'avais pas beaucoup de temps pour practiquer le francais! Je vais t'envoyer une invitation pour etre amis!

Alright.. a GOOD HRM is going to the top of my Christmas wish list. Until then, I'll use the equations for "net calories" from that article - unless I find a better method. Right now my focus is on two main things: watching and logging everything I eat, and building up my running abilities. Losing weight is a happy side…

Ugh I hated this past summer when I was at the doctor and they had to add the 50 to be over 150 :-( I'm not below that yet, but I definitely understand why you would be excited. Way to go!

Bump:smile:

I mix up the days off - sometimes I take 2 days in the middle of the week, depending on my busy schedule. I wouldn't think there would be a problem with running every other day.

You can also defrost meat by putting it in a sealed package, like a ziploc bag, and letting it sit submerged in a bowl of cold, but not frigid, water. You don't want to use lukewarm or hot water because it will promote bacteria. If you know you will be having the meat cut up, such as for stir fry, I would recommend cutting…

Bump - I've been thinking about trying to make homemade falafel anyways, so I might as well try this healthier recipe!

I just finished Week 5, day 2 this morning. I have been switching up treadmill and outdoor running - mostly just running on the treadmill when the weather is bad because I really dislike running in the rain. There are some advantages and disadvantages I have seen from my own experience of using the treadmill ADVANTAGE: I…
