Are you kidding? You have 50 - 51 weeks a year to do extreme fitness. My vote is a cruise, a trip to Washington DC., the Carribean, or Europe (ever played St. Andrews?). And I agree with Tara -- you can't go wrong in Vegas! Wherever you are, I know you will have a blast!! Dee

YES! Hope to run the Dallas Half in December (Formerly called Dallas White Rock). Also running a 10 mile run in October. What training plan are you using?

Initial test = full Pushups 6, Squats 53, Situps 71 46 years old female

Way to go! How proud you must be of your daughter! I'm thankful for her service!!

I have the Garmin Forerunner 405cx with the HRM. I love it. I wanted something to calculate calories burned, as well as times, avg lap pace, etc. This does it all. Unfortunatley, it's not "student budget" friendly. I think I paid around 180 on Amazon. If you run indoors, you will need to add a foot-pod. Since I'm an…

Way to go!!!

Wow! What an inspiration!

Get fitted at a running store in your area. You will probably go up a size from your "everyday" shoes.. Look for a wider toe box and good heel fit. You shouldnt have to lace them tight to fit. A quick google search for good running shoes 2012 will give you a good start. Congrats on c25k! You will do great!

Great job! A good pair of shoes will make a big difference...you can do it. Treat yourself and keep running!!

Not sure how you define "high protein. I like Perfect Fit cookies by Boundless Nutrition. Chocolate Chip is Gluten Free, 150 calories, 10g protein, 4 g fiber. Chocolate chip, peanut butter or macadamia nut. all are yummy.

Made this last week, served with SkinnyTaste black bean salad. It was all delicious!!!!! Everyone in the house loved this! Had leftover chicken roll yesterday for lunch, just cut into thin slices on toast for lunch. Yummy!

Congratulations! All of your accomplishments are evidence that results occur when there is a plan! A goal, without a plan, is a dream!! You reached your dream, and your goal!!

Water Water Water is key the day before I run a 5k. I try to get down 12 glasses of h20 (in addition to the 6 or so cups of coffee). This is about 10 glasses more than I usually drink...yes...I know...I should do more... I don't change my diet, and I am on 1200 as well. For dinner the night before, I eat "light" protein -…

If you are in a city that has My Fit Foods I would definitely recommend it. Fresh complete meals, no preservatives, pre-portioned. It's a little pricey, but I stop in and grab what's marked down 50% a day before the expiration date.

Warm up: Hold on Loosely - 38 special Dirty Harry - Gorillaz I Gotta Feeling - Black Eyed Peas Not Afraid - Eminem Stronger - Britney Spears Just the Way you Are - Bruno Mars Hero - Skillet The War Inside - Switchfoot Winning -- Santana Love some of the suggestions here...time to add to the playlist!

I would start by praying for her. Praying that God would put someone in her path, and that if it's you, God make that clear, so there's no doubt of your role. I will pray for her, and you! When I have encountered people who have lost a lot of weight I acknowledge the weight loss, and follow it up by saying, I hope you…

Set very small goals for yourself. I would pick out houses and say, "I will jog without stopping to that house". then I'd walk a little, and pick out another house and jog again. Pretty soon, I was jogging to that second house. It takes time. Keep going - you can do it!!!!

I enjoyed a bud light with lime!

Dont' give up! You will get there with your commitment and the support from this great MFP team. You've received great advice here. Here are 2 additional things that have worked for me. 1. Minimize the coffee and substitute green tea. There are some great flavored teas that give you the satisfaciton of "sweet" like the…

What a great gift to yourself and your family! Well done!

What an inspiration!!!!!

First, I'm not a doctor. But I have had 6 knee surgeries over the last 30 years. Here are the things you can do before your next appointment. These will help your doctor in determining what the best protocol will be. 1. What activities aggravates your knee? 2. Does it swell? After all activity or only certain activity. 3.…

The Thrift Store! Never know what kind of great deals you can find there!

Make a personal Christmas card incorporating your before and after! Have fun with it! And congratulations!!! Keep it up! Here's a quick start: "Twas months before Christmas, and all through the house No one was stirring, not even a mouse. The footsteps were heavy, sluggish and slow And I said to myself, "This weight's got…
